North

We walk a titerope. 
And we tow the line.

high above the crowd, on a tightrope
look at me
I'm a clown, not an acrobat
1 missed step,  I'm coming down
and there ain't no net...



Titerope

(i said) you are in no place to make demands
now that you have got my blood on your hands
you are in no place to make demands
now that you have got my blood on your hands

revolution waits the greater man
who will arch against and who still stands
evolution makes the dawn of man
who will flow this blood you still demand?

Arch

This is not a real track, it is a dream collaboration from 3 of Denver's best MC's.

featuring guest vocals from Michelle Rocqet and Curta

WANTD (ft. Michelle Rocqet and Curta)

THE MORE WE CHANGE THE FRAME
THE MORE WE NEVER CHANGE
THE MORE WE PRAY FOR CHANGE
THE MORE WE STAY THE SAME

Stay

BLACK
beautiful BLACK
cut down you at the height of you
fear, love, hate, need
the sight of you
BLACK uncomfortable 
BLACK comfortable 
BLACK hearts, 
BLACK souls, 
BLACK forgiven
BLACK unforgiven

WHERE DO U GET OFF (ON ME)?

the danger of being afraid is paramount
the danger of being unafraid is paramount
as we race or crawl toward electrification
we gadabout like 
flies
the danger of being misinformed is outstanding
the danger of being informed is outstanding
walking with one eye open 
and one eye closed
in circles
crash landing
embrace music, nature, animals,
each other

god only knows why i felt strong
when/where i went wrong.

are we soldiers?
are we heroes?
are we villains?
are we liberators?
are we oppressor's?
so many wars
not enough peacekeepers
so many tyrants
not enough peace

...so much death
not enough life

Title

This is the first remix off of the album BLACKWALL. 
It is the perfect song for a candlelit dance taking place deep in a mountain cave under a shroud of mystery. There will be sweat, ambience, and echoes of the past while we face the future with optimistic naivete, ready to take on one or all. Last person standing picks the next song!

Downloadable for you to use in your DJ sets at will!

THE_SHOULDNT: SCATTER

CAN'T I JUST LOVE YOU?
WHILE I COUNT HOW I LOVED YOU

THE SHOULDNT: The Story Of Love

close my eyes

no one dies
stealing third

a little more (around a smile)
off the top
barely hurts

THE SHOULDNT: Off The Top

THE_SHOULDNT: Bird

WE TRIED TO WARN YOU
THESE GHOSTS CANT HARM YOU
BUT IF YOURE CRAZY LIKE US
YOU CAN DANCE RIGHT THRU THEM

THE_SHOULDNT: Ghosts

tick tock im never coming 'round
road blocks that rarely come alone
i'll follow any shine i spy
it felt right broken twice a day

big bang i made it out alive
find out im only halfway home
I taste your panic and despair
(but) no thanks im full up on my own

THE_SHOULDNT: Disrupture

grace me with your presence
cleanse me with your great wisdom
like you made me in your image
like you cursed me with your blood

THE_SHOULDNT: Cleanser

Son Of A Gun

NOW U NO

All that glitters
Blinds eyes
Tastes bitter
Dig a mine shaft
Enter
At your own risk
Find a vein
Get rich
-Clog a vein
Die suddenly
Company Men
Do the job
Ask no questions
I write lessons of my own design
Set the bar high
Stay mindful
Go let it rip off the blindfold
Enhance your vision
Clear skies ahead
Indecision melts rapidly
In the energy of my chi
Pull out your fillings
Heavy metal
Get drawn to me
Like magnets

Now You Know / What to do
With Precious Gold / Given to you
Now You Know / How to fail
When to jump / When to stay

I won't stand for this
Not even one drum beat
Passes
Where I don’t think about pain
Shine it up like mirrors
-Catch a self glance
Feel shame
And I thank you
It seems right to blame you
Split welds apart
Snap pieces
Bleed freely from cuts
Oh sharp edge
One touch
I felt nothing
And changed shape under pressure
Check the tape
Time weathers all
Like warm rain
Breaks stones
Bones splinter
Mend up
And we end up
Litter
Kicked down the block
Like child's play
Y'all so nonchalant
I’m at wit’s end
Spun out
Slap
Throw fits
Get lifted
Send back what was gifted
I spent time on me
To seek out every memory
Of you
And I burned 'em...

Now You Know / What to do
With Precious Gold / Given to you
Now You Know / How to fail
When to jump / When to stay

We're to the right
...and can't go left again. 

Now U No

Come And Get Me

Freefall

YOU BROKE
[ALL OF MY INSIDES]
YOU BROKE...

I FASHIONED MY SUBSTANCE
FROM THE HARDEST STONES I COULD FIND
-METAL AND MINERALS
TO MAKE LITERAL BARRIERS
YOU CAN NEVER GET IN
I CAN NEVER GET OUT
I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE RIGHT MOVE
I FOUGHT YOU OFF ME TO PROVE IT
BEST OPPONENT? ME
FOCUSED ON THE BLURRY-NESS
I FELT BEST
INSIDE THAT MESS
NOW I AM FURTHER BACK
THAN WHERE I WAS BEFORE YOU
HOW'D THAT WORK?
NOT WELL? 
AND I'D DO IT OVER THE SAME
-
i built up a wall
with the biggest bricks i could carry
-granite and marble
it was beautiful and awful
so strong, hard to tear down
so weak, could see right through it
got happy with my work
got saddened by the result
i had to blow it up
destroy all the destructiveness
all of my toils
all of my time spent - and gone
i never cared before
i probably won't again
everything is pieces
it's just another puzzle...

i'll tear the contract 
you bought 
in two 
to rip to pieces
the thought
of you

why search far and wide?
and why fly free? 
declare unholy war? 
when we could wage peace

so i'll march 7 days
disarmed to the teeth
as these devils walls
just fall before me

you'll tumble down before i do
so get up off your knees
ive looked around everywhere 
you're still all i can see

Contract

REPEAT ME OVER AND OVER AND OVER
((this is a one(ton)gun remix of the original))

Repeater ((((remix))))

Raise your hand if, by your own admission
You praise your lord and pass the ammunition. 
Hallelujah, here we come
Hallelujah get your gun!

Hallelujah

This is the second single of R&TV's record RESONATE.

BIGGEST/WIDEST
filled up my eyes with all the things no man should see
filled up my ears with all the claims that could not be
they wanna talk you down but always meant to talk you up there
they wanna drag you through it pick away and strip you bare
second guess and call you out and dismantle as you build it
they want the credit in the footnotes of your wisdom
but they forgot to thank you for the ground they walk on
and they're demanding payment for the pound of flesh they feast on

we ain't got time to list our resume here
there is no time to explain the fire you now fear
we ain't got time to list our resume here
there is no time to explain the fire you now fear

biggest, widest, lying mouth of all time

oh, mister master, stop
mine eyes could tell some stories
thought that you should hear 'em, listen in
'cause in 'em you’re the villain
but I don’t wanna spoil the plot
"you’re gonna get yours"

little hijos locked behind and inside chain links
you have got to be fucking with me
but we ain't fucking with you
steady infiltrating your block

I'll sway and rock
while you swing mightily and wildly
as i sting your openings, like lightning
leave you falling over in shock

oh damn you got the biggest mouth
through thin lips lies come dribbling out like every moment
you got your whole team on bent knees
while my squad is taking the house
"you’re gonna get yours"

liar

brothers and sisters
we need the truth
we need to know that they can learn
years they have passed and bridges been burned
now they wonder why we're so mad
