DOCTOR MANHATTAN 

did you know new york is an island
where we grew up rhyming 
where we grew up wild in  
these streets like an asylum

i am the all-knowing all-rapping 
it’s like i’m dr manhattan 
i mean this already happened 
first in greek and then in latin 

honestly in all modesty 
i’m like the hero in the odyssey 
we both come from islands 
that take pride in rhyming 
but no syrens and cyclops 
just sirens and street cops 
who should be swinging from treetops
now lemme hit em with the beat box …

did you know new york is an island
new yorks an asylum
its where i grew up hiding 
from all the madness thats inside me

yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

i am the all-knowing all-rapping 
it’s like i’m dr manhattan 
i mean this already happened 
i mean this already happened 
i mean this already happened 

did you know new york is an island
where we grew up rhyming 
where we grew up wild in  
these streets like an asylum
did you know new york is an island

COLD OPEN

mama im in a cold open
walking in slow motion
away from an explosion 
dissolve into the ocean 

my life is like a movie 
and it’s absolutely 
based loosely on Bruce Lee
instead of nunchucks 
i use a single sheet of loose leaf
and i kick a phat beat 
from the mountains to the blue sea 

mama im in a cold open
walking in slow motion
away from an explosion 
dissolve into the ocean 

i’m like half man half mic 
now hollywood wants the rights to my life 
jokes on them i sold those to the night 

cold open
walking in slow motion

i’ll be remembered like the titans
for writing to enlighten 
i’m so wild at heart 
that my jackets made of python 
i got more phat beats 
than sumo wrestling 
i guarantee go trending
boom boom boom Tarantino ending

mama im in the cold open
walking in slow motion
away from an explosion 
dissolve into the ocean

TURN THINGS RIGHT

i’m in that peach state (uh)
this ain’t no remake (uh)
i ain’t no deep fake (uh)
come get this cheese cake (uh)

i rode a long way through the struggle and strife 
i drove all night with no headlights 
made a few wrong turns ran a few red lights 
made the best of my time but a mess of my life 
still a few miles left to turn things right 
still a few miles left to turn things right 

i fly first and expense it
my worst is like your best, it’s 
bugatis and benzes
my life through peach-colored lenses
i got that atlanta swagger
bad ass rapper 
every tracks a banger 
rhyme in a relaxed manner 
about black lives matter
i come a long way 
through the struggle and strife 
and that was just last night 
so let me tell you bout life 
you can’t turn a girl 
into a real housewife

little soundtrack jammy i wrote and produced for the Kevin Hart feature film with my partner @njohnsoncomposer and the @madman609

Watch "Die Hart: Die Harter 2" on Prime Video.

some hearts they die hard 
and some hearts die harder 
my heart was guarded
wrapped in black armor
some hearts they die hard 
but mine dies harder 
my heart dies harder

you die hard, but i die harder 
woo - im all heart wrapped in some black armor
right in front of you
you still cant see me
see i mean my demeanor is meaner than john cena
i hit quick like john wick
rambo in a lambo
jason statham
van damme in a trans am
jet li, jackie chan
muscle man, arnold schwarzenegger
i got the chop, new planes, no green screens 
kick game flyer than liu kang
you die hard, but i die harder
i slaughter
like chuck norris, here come the chorus

some hearts they die hard 
some hearts die harder 
my heart was guarded
wrapped in black armor
some hearts they die hard 
but mine dies harder 
my heart dies harder

BLACK ANTHEM

let me see your hands up
it’s a Black anthem
it’s the gangsta rap single 
on your honky tonk album
it’s got a little Doctor King 
and alot of Brother Malcolm

ever since i was 17 
ive had the same insane dream
about a red white and blue machine 
that feeds on Black screams
until i pull out a taser and a luger 
i stun uncle sam 
and i shoot freddie krueger (bang bang)
i shout forgive us mother mary 
by any means necessary 
i start riffing and rapping in latin 
and then i enter the dragon 
i move like a phantom 
ripping villains at random 
screaming this is not a tantrum 
it’s the black anthem

let me see your hands up
it’s the Black anthem
it’s the hot trap single 
on your cold country album
it’s got a little Doctor King 
but more like Brother Malcolm

ok so nobody panic
even though i know 
the dream might be drastic 
damn it i wake up feeling fantastic 
like i’m not that kid the man abandoned 
im the man that kid imagined 
and this man don’t have tantrums
he issues memorandums
and writes Black anthems
 
let me see your hands up
it’s a Black anthem
it’s the gangsta rap single 
on your honky tonk album
it’s got a little Doctor King 
and alot of Brother Malcolm
