Lyrics:

[ParadoxAssassin]

[Intro]
Check check I'm a memory

[Verse 1]
Preparation;
pragmatic elation revolves around light-hearted fun
Might as well bag me at this stage
Stop listening to the background noise
It's affecting your ability to react
Temporary fixation on the mediation
Without the platform and the megaphone
you'd be left for bait in the trap
Fire escapes in the back
better memorize before taking naps
Passing stages like we've been here before
Heat waves terrorize the poor with the windows cracked
Desert eagle spine tingling hemoglobin
We've arrested in the most glorious way

[Verse 2]
Ahhhh, what have we here?
It's a mental breakdown sleeping half past 5PM
45 RPM has me idle on the crate bin
With an ambient tone,
it's off to the races
Many chase desires, but only few catch 'em
Shallow arrives to sneak up and get you
Veering toward the light
You ever been scared at night?
Sweet humble pie/ make yourself comfortable
Always welcome and never arranged
Passive reflections of my day left unexplained
probably better that way x2

[Bridge]
Mind numbing sensation; cardiac arrest
Caught me lounging at the train station 
Taking up both seats 
yeah...this one is saved (haha)

[Verse 3]
It's a goddamn circle I've been on
I call it fucked once or twice
Made it a point to cut some things out my life
I don't apologize, but I may feel...
Disrespected, out of place, out of mind
Wiggle room mention/ with claustrophobic ties
Written spellbound getting round-housed
on the black book Hollywood Paramount
Big acts collapsed under pressure
neolithic measures
distancing indecorous endeavors
to identify our latent pleasures
Concealed weaponry
deepening the tendency to snap 
Pulled a heist while I had the girl on rotate
The clock spins the vinyl like it's foreplay
Shut down roadways 
Me no se porque nosotros fuimos anoche (I don't know why we went last night)
Proper faux pas almost freed my vision
Copper sold in molten heaps
Vilified by jealous freaks for dormancy
Wake the poetry as conscious begins to fade
Underlying settlements indoctrinated innocents (innocence) for decades

[Tony, The Swordsman]

Another rhyme scheme, another day dream
another time awakened by ambition's subtle scream
shit, gotta splash my face with water from the polluted stream
see astroturf, where is the grass a natural green
wait where am I again?
surrounded by faces I hardly remember and someone up front yappin till december
notebook full of gibberish, rhymes in the margin, examine my pen
girl next to me looks like I should maker her my friend
Oh crap i'm in class whats been said?
Stress overcome to sever my head
wait whats the homework that will consume 3hrs at least
project on essays on assignments that's stacks on stacks
push back passion of writing & reading thats acts on Acts
please don't act as if you sympathy you keep when you act like this don't repeat
elders say well your young at least
as if that's a valid reason for sleep deprivation
when eyes lose focus focus and I stumble walking
wish it was my heart but my eyes dilation 
pop a pill to calm cranial monsoon, hope nothing slips as i'm talking
pretending i'm working in the library hope this literary princess don't catch me gawking
eyes look high, blood shot, crows outside the window but Duck-not
enslaved, debt grave, not my right mind state
walking into the next class
anticipating, ready in case anyone ask for rhymes to blast
get dap off a dope rap
seamstress how I put together these lines
lay back in my seat 
Swordsman I am to keep
review an interview, as I D-ay D-ream
from that (reverse) Z-A, M.C.
since B.C. all i wanted to B E
Be-leave me 
I need some Sl-heap
