Sol
This young talent nearly sounded the alarm
Now the pen and pad replaced the blade on his arm
He ingested the harm, had no time for civility
Mind build on lies body built on instability
Chris
He learned how to cope with the songs that he wrote
And behind the velvet rope bled a bleeding heart misanthrope
He was exceptional started out confessional
But as he turned professional he flexes both the testicles 
Sol
But life was something different now, through the smoke
People started listening, the clouds broke
His little light shined brighter he was engaged
The center of his chest grew, he was amazed
Chris
Deconstruct his emotions broke ‘em all apart and 
busted battle rhymes in the place of catharsis
Happiness is hard on music filled by pain
He doesn’t want to go back so he searches in vain
Sol
He wanted nothing more than this musical status quo
Emotional explosion mixed with high pressure flow
He followed the snow, any bad weather he could find
But he always made the sun and blue skies combine
Chris
So while he spent the last year learning to live free
His fans spun his record and they wallowed in their misery
He loves his baby, is loyal to his wife
And his new lyrics smack of domestic life 
Sol
Since the knife that had carried his blood had retired
He mistakenly had casted a mold to be fired
His listeners had grievances but on a small scale
He spoke positive now, no soul breaking tales
Chris
His early rap hits were classics so he tries to stress them
and bring the muses close and hope the demon will possess them
but hes got new flows they scream bring it on
but his fan base came for a suicide sing-along

Chorus
It wasn’t enough that he exposed what he lacks
had blood in the ink valve and bled on the tracks
it wasn’t enough he broke his back for the craft 
and provided laugh tracks for the fickle ass masses
It wasn’t enough that when his past graced the page
He had to find the strength to repeat it onstage
It wasn’t enough that he crossed the river styx
They demanded he return and burn the story to disc
It wasn’t enough that he proceeded what was needed
And in the end his cycle broke down but repeated
It wasn’t enough
It was never enough
It wasn’t enough
It was never enough
It wasn’t enough
It was never enough
No it was never enough

Sol
Reviews came, they weren’t the same
 Because the sheep needed his pain they needed the
Blood stained life drained shell of a man that he was before
Happy raps sales collapse he hits the floor
Chris
Impaled by pitchfork, smoked by NME
Crushed by rolling stone Spin doctored his identity
He plays the game so he wrote them off as clueless
But he didn’t think his fans would be as loyal as Brutus
Sol
He held his emotions, like nectar in a sieve
He longed to listen to those familiar adjectives
To live was to love, and now he couldn’t do either
So he watched the fame drain and sustain the ether
Chris
He’d weather the storm with a war born patience
But every artist knows that their work needs validation
His earlier fame now seemed like an illusion
Cuz he cut the same vain and bled nothing but confusion
Sol
His flows turned to gold amber changed his whole timbre
Because the listening was like a christening
He made a fist and pounded the concrete 
Beat his knuckles broken in a furious heat he saw defeat
Chris
Phonic flows were honest and the sonnets came in verses
Chronic blues slayed demonic types of urges
His reason and movement reversed their motion
The music kept him alive now poisoned his emotion
sol
He poured the remnants of his elitist defeated soul
Into his last words they were heard behind a drum roll
He gave it to the people that were always giving in
So he could go to sleep at night without a friendly fifth of gin
Chris
So we begin at the end which was really the start
When the accolades and fame crash against his broken heart
They said the last album was poser and the feedback brought him down
Ironically inspired his original sound
Sol
He couldn’t believe the same people that were throwing stones
Crushing his self esteem were now on his team
They loved the new music, except reminded by the cynical
It sounded derivative and oh so cyclical
Chris
First time’s a charm when he started out nameless
They hated number two simply cuz he was famous
His masterpiece third, was barley even mentioned
Torn to pieces by the press for having no dimension

Chorus
It wasn’t enough that he exposed what he lacks
had blood in the ink valve and bled on the tracks
it wasn’t enough he broke his back for the craft 
and provided laugh tracks for the fickle ass masses
It wasn’t enough that when his past graced the page
He had to find the strength to repeat it onstage
It wasn’t enough that he crossed the river styx
They demanded he return and burn the story to disc
It wasn’t enough that he proceeded what was needed
And in the end his cycle broke down but repeated
It wasn’t enough
It was never enough
It wasn’t enough
It was never enough
It wasn’t enough
It was never enough
No it was never enough

Solstice - The most awesome people on facebook

I am an emcee producer combo from San Francisco, CA. I make hiphop-ish music and am in a group called seraphim. With the help of samples all my beats are 100% original. I am always looking for new people to work with for collabs and whatnot, so drop me a line!

Excerpt from 6winged.com:

Solstice has been at it since 2000 and shows no sign of stopping now. 

He broke through onto the scene with the group Seraphim in 2001 with the record "Lost in the Ether". A fan of hip hop music since infancy he jumped in primarily as a producer for the group. He learned a lot about production on the fly, but still made it happen. He just started to explore the MC aspect as the album was coming to a close. He was featured on only a few tracks lyrically, but was still heard. He then started work on the SWS records project "Continental Drift". His lyrics in that album were sharp, witty, honest and determined to get noticed. His production was also getting better, with the help of musicians he was learning a lot more of the technical aspects of beat making. 

Then, for a while, he stayed silent. He silently worked on beats, secretly worked on songs. It wouldn't be until the next Seraphim album release in 2011 that he would be heard from again. The album showcases some of the best music he has created. The group Seraphim has always been his primary home, however he has been in a frenzy producing beats and writing lyrics that he is planning a solo project due by the end of 2012. Keep your eyes peeled, he is coming.
