rough lyrics


yo we still livin in an excess
this shit aint even the best yet
perplex them, they stressed with 
thinking of bodies we resurrected
the strep kid invested with bars that he blessed with
they brushed it all away those sick fucks try to downsweep the ever coming eruption
i swear they'll see it one day they gone bust them to be free and find

aint no way that id ever survive living inside tha earths limitless supply of pride
they divide us with dirt i cant cope when they overlooked a bright mind 
the full scope wont work we salute to the stars and hope to dear god
that may we simply get by no need for an excess of stimulation to stay alive 
 we dig a little deeper each time we say our goodbyes
this wont be the end of the line there's more bullshit that seems to come with the lies
some things change and others will never whither away with summer
another blunder it seems to live along with me, deep in the veins, waves stay by the sea
waters churn to wash it away
what cant leave the skin stained to the brain remains see these scars they breathe life into the disease, im still me
still me tho



but really who is that there aint no facts i cant prove my own point the eyes mirror no longer look back
dark shadows been cast around me dragging me back into my abyss of a past smoking shit the time pass
but never seemed to fast enough always in a rush no matter how much they'd prick off the shoulder
 id just brush the pain away seek shelter in rain the storm clashed the dark part of the minds eye 
nothing lives inside, dont know what they thought they'd find, this time

rough lyrics


there's honey tonight
there's money inside of her eyes
there's honey tonight
there's money inside of her eyes
there's honey tonight
tonight we'll both die
well die for the money tonight
tonight tonight well die 
die for the honey inside
there's money inside of her eyes 
tonight well die
there's honey tonight
there's money inside of her eyes
there's honey tonight
tonight we'll both die

everything i did and everything i wanted has been destroyed the hallways now empty im haunted by the ghost of a past kiss so why should i even live but god ill still live this life anyway anyone try to get in between that they'll face these facts a hard path still trudge through this 
life with my rucksack, never get my motherfucking love back and i didnt even exist im pissed this clenched fist spread the crimson mist ima fuck this up
nothing anymore makes sense, ima take my time come back with better hit, its a better track man the vibe is hot, and i hear its not what you wanted, but tonight im not the same that i once was, this flame inside my heart set me free of obstructions, gotta find myself again theres nobody else to nail back the loose pin, grow some tough skin and man see where it takes ya, and nobody really ever seen a damn savior, know what goes on inside i hate ya, more than ever man i hate this self destructive path ive taken, but i need more shit ill never get enough of insults
i cant trust my own thoughts, take you for your word, ill live like a robot, because thats what you want you cant stand a question,
keep me guessing on which direction to forward attention, but fuck this risky business im living im fucking these women, they blame me for sinning, the demon has sent him, resenting the facts im a blemish, the earth surface scorches the children, creating the villains by millions
im stacking some dollars, but land getting hotter i foster dark feelings that once hid inside, now have all fell from gods ceiling
the tingling spine froze the nights become chilly, behind my own doorway i see something standing, they reach out to hand pain i dont want to take it rejecting new pleasure the heart confiscated 



there's honey tonight
there's money inside of her eyes
there's honey tonight 
tonight well both die
we'll die for the money tonight
tonight tonight we'll die 
die for the honey inside
there's money inside of her eyes 
tonight we'll both die
there's honey tonight
there's money inside of her eyes
there's honey tonight 
tonight we'll both die

still eagerly shoved it in, pushed deeper till embedded fully propaganda ive read it,
 deleted reality has defeated the rally of heathens but seated a terror far greater more evil a tangible weapon created inside of a dark revelation
now bore a new hatred within master enslavers, they steal digital signal pencil sketched the simulated sinew, spilling the infused chemical imprint, reactions only within a few dimensions, now multiplied into mental stimuli

there's honey tonight
there's money inside of her eyes
there's honey tonight 
tonight well both die
we'll die for the money tonight
tonight, tonight we'll die

Introducing Polaris, the 13th installment in the Omega Music Library collection. This sample pack captures the rich sonic textures of late 70s and early 80s Japanese fusion and rare wamono, blending live piano recordings from a 1984 Yamaha upright and the highly sought-after Solina String Ensemble with OML's already impressive arsenal of era-accurate synths and outboard gear. Each sample was manually processed through a 1979 AKAI GX-635D reel-to-reel tape machine on 10-inch Maxell XLI 35-180B Master Tape, widely across Japanese recording studios in the late 70s, delivering a warm, lush, and mysterious sound reminiscent of iconic composers like Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yuji Ohno, and Kentaro Haneda. Fully analog, with no digital instruments—Polaris is essential for timeless, emotive production.

This is a remix of "Shoten" from my first instrumental project, Champloo. Champloo blends chillhop and electronic music, perfect for any lounge setting. This particular track is a remix by one of my favorite musicians and brothers, Marcus D, who brought his unique style to this already amazing song.

If you mix Chillhop with New Jack Swing, add a touch of classical piano, and sprinkle in some trap, you get the sound of L O Kari. His smooth vocal delivery channels the vibe of your favorite '90s R&B groups, with a hint of hip-hop. His soulful lyrics explore themes of love and social justice. Let L O Kari take you on a journey you’ll want to revisit again and again.

rough lyrics

felt weak once but now im much bigger and stronger
they tried so hard, but couldn't penetrate thick armor
gods karma coming quick, it'll strike em down
nothing left in they heart, so on they face is a frown
days, weeks, months to years, we spend, forgoing a friend
one they cant touch, fuck, ruin, or bend, the music will mend
be there till the end, we got time but it can never replace what you spend
invest in your heart, stay true to your grin, and even when times get grim
the track still spin, we wait for it to drop, till we can hit it again, like a vape pen
fucked up straight geeked off of the beats, underneath the seems, music notes bleed
we cant cover it up, the pressures to much, we let it bust out, fuck doubt in oneself
take the tape off the shelf, wind it up and just listen, the soul glisten when the moon fall
the poets come out to fight when night crawls, creepin out of the face, and never to lose pace
or outa touch with the base, we all the same, but some of us very different, proficiently gifted in the craft of a mystic, rhymes conflicted, my main mission to gift the public with insightful artistic renditions, its frightful what one can think in the mind
but something to waste is something that may one day shine, if giving the fuel, we do battle at high noon 
pursue the tones residue, its sticks to the ears, never lets up, i cant sleep without this stuff, i love it so much
its replaced what could never be obtained, my passion for tone like a moth to flame, and i pray it never change
even if my soul leave my body ill still be banging arrangements, nothing could replace it, i was given the gift to put pen to the pages, god knows id never waste it

i dont know, i dont know, whats wrong with your heart and mind...

i dont know, i dont know, whats so wrong with you... whats wrong with your heart and mind...

i dont know, i dont know, whats wrong with you...

...wrong with your heart and mind...

...dont know, dont know...
whats wrong with your heart and mind...

rough lyrics

giving thanks to my god
thank you
even though i haven't been strong
thank you god
for all you do
thank you



All i wana do is jump and hop to the beat, tired of only the grey skies that Ive seen, wana notice something more take note of the beauty, golden light pink hues make a soul seem moody, shifting myself as I sleep at night, cant get comfortable no matter how hard I try, somethings off it's now a great predicament
Times of the essence and im oh so sick of it, what can I do to change this path? move past the daunty mundane stained grass, blossom out some petals with color, vibrant lead sent in the letter from my lover, red in the title but nothing has matched, I was alone again waiting for time to pass, these feelings they fade, ones I can't grasp, laying down now i slink back in my bed, words and beats running wild through my head, am i dead because i dont know what's with the living? life is a trail and mines down for the killing, wasting years this rap ain't very neat, no one listens to the sounds and words that I speak, often alone so the thoughts tend to weep, keep em locked up inside, jail cell prison of the mind, will they escape or stay shacked with no key?

They say im the same please stop living in the past, can I move on God how long will this last, i thought I was strong and fought on hard through the blast, cold winter shocked stuck in my slumber I awoke, to the rhymes written through the cracks in my tone, aint got no home, so I'll still keep pushing for a spot in the better place, i let em hate, erase the pain like tunes to my heart they be leaving the stain, one I can't cover up with a simple touch, id rather be living true than living it up, and yes I still rust with them days and nights, and if I can't find who I am then who is right? What's the real truth when no one can seem to hear? I don't wana live my life if its filled with fear. I just wana find the sounds that be pulling me near, ever opened up just spilling out blood, my purpose is forgotten but it's one I've loved and held so close, in these last days I still find thankfulness though, for that of flow and the days that come, allowing me to be myself and watching over your son

give thanks to my god

give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks thanks thanks to my god
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god
thanks thanks thanks to my god
god i have not been strong
give thanks to my god

rough lyrics

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move
you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move

sometimes i really dont wana be alive,
id rather die, when i look into the mirror i dont see no eyes staring back
its like an empty husk, id like to get hit by a bus cuz there aint no one to trust, i glance to my left and to the right at the same time, walking the same line, things dont seem to change just the time of the day,
and this ones the end, i hope i dont go fast id like to relish the feel
never felt much before, do you think ill enjoy the kill? even if its my own pill, one i can see, a person may live long but he dies when the people leave, even if its on the inside the only part that breathes, fresh air to to take to the chest, if life is an essay im known to fail the test, and im not guna lie to you, apparently, i didnt do my best

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things would can make move
you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all the things that would make me move

you told me it was you but it was me, your living in a dream life aint a fantasy, i did the deed, i wana die and maybe not see 30, 28 now and the world just seem dirty, to that of a lone soul, but the sad fact is one of choosing my own road, ill pay for this choice while taking the stroll, it was i who should have died alone laying in the cold

you tell me that its in you
you tell me ill make it through
you tell me just how to choose
you told me the wrong things to do
you told me that i can prove
all of the things that would make me move

sometimes i really dont wana be alive
id rather die when i look into the mirror i dont see no eyes staring back
its like an empty husk id rather get hit by a bus cuz there aint no one to trust, i glance to my left and to my right at the same time, walking down the same line, things dont change just the time of the day,
and this ones the end, i hope i dont go fast, id like to relish the feel,
never felt much before, do you think ill enjoy the kill? even if its my own pill, one i can see, a person may live long until he dies when the people leave, even if its on the inside, the only part that breathes, fresh air to take to the chest, if life is an essay i was known to fail the test, im not guna lie to you, apparently, i didnt do my best

rough lyrics

all i want to is
be my...
all i want to is
be my...
all i want to do is 
be myself
all i want to is
be my..
all i want to is
be my...
all i want to do is 
be myself

whats with this life am i right or am i wrong yo?
seeming like i been on the right track but wrong road
i fight facts and stay strong all through the songs flow
can i really be myself if its a person i dont know?
what has the world shown when i tried to blend in?
they pushed me aside as if i died, tossed to tha wind
no friends not a single soul to help me fit in
i been home swimmin in a bowl without no fins
and how long can i cruise down a road with no end?
i gotta fill up this hole up before i turn beast from man
had a peaceful plan, things dont always go the way of a god
got lost and trapped down inside the sod, i grip my leg i couldn't jump no matter how hard i tied, i wanted to run and hide but a man aint got no time to cry
you know the people pry they wanna get at your soul, expose your fears that way you cant make it home, alone on the shoal watching the waves as they crash, i had to pick up my boots and stomp through the ash...

all i want to is 
be my...
all i want to is
be my...
all i want to do is 
be myself
all i want to is
be my..
all i want to is
be my...
all i want to do is 
be myself

often wonder why, my god how am i guna survive, i watch others as they thrive, i try to dive deep, but seem my life still aint got the right jive, its in the wrong vibe, im living, i dont know how to listen, but please just one more time could your light glisten? shine bright upon the window pane for one to see, im in the wrong lane again, i beg you set me free, ive lied to you, stolen glory, ive hated others, distorted their story, my life been super stormy, a truth of hate, one not based in your flesh, if given one more chance i promise to do my best, and theres nothing else that i can say, my face is sullen battered with sadness as anger fuels my rage, i swim through blackness trapped in my own cage, ive chosen the wrong place to move, wish that i could change this path, and ill do anything, divert the crash, please lord just give me myself back

  
i dont know how
be my..
i dont know how
be my..
i dont know how to be myself
to be myself

be myself - we are - many reasons - layyzz remix
