Rainy days, (x2)

it’s all relative to the future and the past.
Can’t get passed the mistakes that I’ve made so I stay, grounded.
I try to vision success except the way to win is through deception.
I use the most deadly weapon; it’s my mind.
If there’s a will, there’s probably no time.
Get it right, but don’t fight the gravity!
It’s a heavy burden, but it naturally occurs.
I awoke to the monsters who emerged from the darkness.
Now I realize the devil has his laser targeted, for my dome.
This might be the last time I ever have a set-in-stone home.

Hook x2:

F-L-double O- D; I’m moving faster than you so I see,
the theory of relativity, in a different light.


Flooded Reality (Prod. Ple.b)

Lyrics:

It's okay to feel inferior in your interior,
just make sure to hop right on the up & up.
Process like a limosouine; 
it's easy to cover up/ with dirt like your dead,
but the chance to achieve conscious/
thought is slim to none, again.

Try to reach the highest point,
where you won't ever land.
Even when your old and frail, think again!
The only thing someone can ever take from you,
is your innocence, but in a sense, you're infinite! (x2)

Lyrics:
---
Let’s take a trip down memory lane

Dinner's served in a cafe
Stayed open late to fill your coffee
Last thing you need on this journey
Right to hell
Bite my nails
I'm so anxious
You're an angel on my conscious
Found and lost;
so much for epiphany as I hang from this cross
Raiders ark bound and gagged by Laura Croft
Passed the blame to my underlings
See those passageways, look under them
Some not so lucky; a wonderful world we’re living in
This change means nothing to me
Might as well join the bastards while I'm at it
Well matched for dying in an attic
Even if there's not, I sure as hell am making it to the top
I came this far so fuck if I'm giving up!!

Now we’re here at Memory Lane..

Duly due
I met you at the intersection of this thing called life
So beautiful
Let me call her Esmeralda
I was flattered just to be in the presence of a princess
Along came Polly
now I'm regretting that evening on the vineyard
Crushed peppers
my notebooks are lined with unsent letters
The words blend together
brain melted
I'm very clearly confused

Rugged destructive more adjectives to describe me
Administered this double blind study
Convinced I could be part of a family
Entrenched feelings of a dark environment surround me

Trust friends?
Never again
To my downfall,
I couldn't live up to a single bar I've spit
Hard to portray all the things I've wished to say
Shit don't matter when you feel out of place
Not even how I said it could change how I got here
Surprisingly, I'm alright with that

Just a trip down memory lane..
We’re taking a trip down memory lane
Just a trip down memory lane
Taking a trip down memory lane

Memory Lane (Prod. K-Lee)

The first single from the upcoming follow-up collaborative release of "The Swordsman & Assassin, Volume II" with @tonytheswordsman. EP release date 8/30/19

"It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know yourself, you be imperiled every single battle" ~Sun Tzu

Lyrics:

ParadoxAssassin:

I’m just going to tell it like it is.. ya dig

Denominations and reparations are coming just like animations on tv stations on Saturday it’s catching on but floats away 
Inappropriate
My body feeling alien the water feels so cold; I’m hopping in. 
Shell shocked on metronomes I’m swimming toward the fossils bro 
I made a trip to Tacoma; saw Sammy Sosa!
Needles were a fucking a problem..
Applying linear algebra to addiction models
The vectors thin, suggest an intervention
The opioids embedded 
Medical kick backs and scripts so directed
The audience is intercepted; targets on their back
Method actors, school kids and anyone in fact
The sea is deep and seeing that I paused and took some steps with caution
Knowing anyone could pop them and cost him what’s been built
The numbness starts to feel if that could happen... x2

Tony, The Swordsman:

Numb to the world 
After it already shook me and hurled
Numb to the world
Trying to hunt me and skin my fur
Numb to the world 
Had my head on the block reserved
I'll still try to break the callus 

The enemy creep in the shadows
Thinking this swordsman hasn't walked in the dark
Zatochi 
What you covet 
I been flippin in the convent 
No time for a comment
Holy Spirit reminding me of my content
Transferring lament events 
Into water stones to sharpen my edge
And gain the goal in the tournament 
They Saw me as a con 
They wanted to vert
No matter the beat my soul I insert 
Pivot cock back hitting rivets 
Purpose behind every punch 
Never dither 
Don't approach me 
Unless I tell you to hither 
I was a blade for higher 
Till I bought out your sire 
In my head it's one big war zone
Of trigger then fire
Sirens halt my spot 
Even before I was eyeing every cross and dot 
Feel like I don't correctly work
But still trucking through the hurt 
My mind runs from me 
Hitting the escape key
Trying to get them before they get me
Sometimes them ain't trying nothing 
Just minding their own biz
Like I wish mine would 
Don't worry this thousand yard stare
Was gifted with The world's care
At least for the worst I'm already 
Pre pared
Don't know who could deal with me when I barely can
Never planned to be paired
Some got blind eyes
While mine are that of a watch dog
Looking out my pairifials as the hogs stalk 
Friends tend to think it's rude how all this can happen as they talk
And I'm there stuck in a stare
Putting my knife closer
Taking deeper rips of air
But all came from shit
You'd only know
 if you got it too 
So who is you?

ParadoxAssassin:

I’m normally so horribly bitter
I hope the winners care and consider consequences 
You’ve been on the fences, and I’ve been observing
The worst version; malice and inversion 
It could all be turned upside down
Just wait, I’m hearing voices from inside myself
And it’s a question and an answer 
May be wrong but it can set some standards
The efforts clear; dimensions outlined
Favorite past time; I’m rhyming depends on weather, jet streams and whether these ocean currents fall in line

The Earth justifies what’s right and what is
I realized the world’s mine if I stay positive
Nine lives, no one gets..

Numb (w/ Tony, The Swordsman) [Prod. ParadoxAssassin}

Track 3 from the collaborative EP release, "The Swordsman & The Assassin, Volume II" with @tonytheswordsman. EP Release date 8/30/19.

Lyrics: 

Paradox Assassin:

Yo, I say we forget about the gossip, sit back, and delay the travel and hate for later. How’s that sound?

The confidence has faded
Fresh pressed premium coffee in the morning
I’m elated and enduring forewarnings
Prequels told my life story
What your antithesis?
Picture fiction, they never listened
Wish you weren’t here, granted wishes via Genie
I wish I hadn’t 
In a instant got my noodles and my belly’s churning
So distant, lost a couple battles but I came back swinging
I’m just referring to the feeling of self-determination
Always working never relaxing I guess that’s because I’m the ParadoxAssassin
I keep some close friends, I respect and invite the criticisms 
Nothing’s better than progressing
I admit it may be tempting to give up, but don’t ever! 
The devil’s watching and lurking knowing there will be some, don’t let it be you

You show potential and I’m pushing for ya
You’re light’s bright, and the prize is right before you
First sight of danger and the peers duck out
My mind questions but my body insists on something else

Tony, The Swordsman:
A phantom 
Fresh Outta the dungeon 
With another blade to function
Belly full of eggs and beans
Been that way since only had a mother to tend to my infant needs
Hear the herald’s decrees
Isolated sharpened
Only met one that can handle that never departed
Wanderer only appear in your perifials 
I’m in the cut eye out for any viruses
Papyrus written 
I hear coyotes tell me Lines to be written
Pray for my steps still hidden  
God told me awaken Talents
And keep talons 
I am meant for flight 
But stay grounded in the fight
The swordman’s life
One of a soul to sharpen
Therapy in Harping 
and harden in walk
New edge of the tongue though no one can understand my talk
Harkin to my metal
Whisper to my mental
Lethal for those who pick and try to roll
Either cut self down or walk never awakened. 
Respect for the steel or watch another come to steal 
Tengus know my feel
Island trained
Blessing water stone atop the mountain
Won’t fall faint 
Use to walk drawn 
Only got me sketched out 
For those who made it out the beast’s mouth
Now sheathed by tuning and lock key  because I’m a musashi
Who promised to make back to Otsu
So when the enemy comes don't say I never told you 

Met plenty even many
That can do more 
Yet flinch and run when they see what didn’t expect in store
I can soap box all night 
But their choice to be overcome by blight

Ghost Pt. 2 (The Experiment) w/ Tony, The Swordsman [Prod. ParadoxAssassin}

Track 5 from the collaborative EP release, "The Swordsman & The Assassin, Volume II" with @tonytheswordsman. EP Release date 8/30/19.

"It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know yourself, you be imperiled every single battle" ~Sun Tzu

Lyrics:

ParadoxAssassin:

The moonlight illuminates 
Art form in an unknowing way 
The camp breaks with their tasks for the coming day
List or not; the horses drop and a cattle prod forced on
The branding hoped to uncover the secrets before dawn
Church pillars and stained glass 
I take that as if architecture could pave paths
On the platform, waiting to be separated and inundated
A regret is just your state succumbing to fear of the past
And when the future comes at last, you’ll be thinking fast instead of kicking ass if that’s the case
Prepared myself for life in disrepair 
Got night-vision like cat’s eyes I’m aware, of every move

With will, body and mind, what could we do? What could we achieve?
Come together to show and prove and be the growing seed
Water the soul; open the mind
These are the strategies you must subscribe
Swordsman & Assassin flow crushers to the end of the time x2

Tony, The Swordsman:

The swordsman and assassin 
Flow crushers
Bum rusher 
With no prints to be dusted
Must be all the hurdles early 
That prepared me 
To seek target tills it’s end
And annoyed at who give in 
But not meant for all
But for all I pray 
We may all feed our family’s in a healthy way
I walk by painting depicting
Picking apart God
How they used wrong
But I’m still seen as a savage 
Since Jackson wanted my skelp
But that ain’t for the average
To contend
I will always have seeds in mind to defend
Even if it’s arm legga arm
If the overseer got a barrel to the future
I’ll disarm even if it’s means unsheathing
And dis arm
No ninxs gets caused harm
So if my art can light the way for the next 
Then come close and hear the tales 
That were drowned out and infest
Feed Your soul with nothing less
Than elements the creator made
See this is the ink every pen should use
But you too busy thinking a soul to lose
And still got my heroes on your shirt for click bate to use
I pray you grow before you blindly pick me to cross 
Def To sounds I perfect You already lost
Yet you still don’t hear me tho 

Like a new co flow
Jus a el-p that will whether these men
Flow crusher with your fun to end 
Plus more 
Feed soul
Sharpen mind
Train flesh
All what must be aimed to perfect 
The swordsman and assassin
Nothing but passion in every rhyme
Display grade on unfortunate bustas laughing
Flow crushers till the end of time
