Lyrics:

To strategize I close my eyes and then I start counting
one through ten humm in zen 
and my core starts bouncing 
nodding for hours this meditation is surmounting 
now touting,
flouncing powers, 
symptoms pushed down by numerous happy hours
no more a boy, manly decoy 
this broken kingdom will soon rejoice, 
I pound my hands on diatribes written by loose ties, 
keeping artform wise through noble eyes 
might be silly to be hyped by integrity 
but I typed what was provided killing it while it was killing me. 
We are all sisters and brothers, mothers, uncles, 
suckers of an email scam hustler 
in the crime pages of papers 
No chaser, not stalwart 
Invested in spare change like flowcharts from Wal-Mart, 
you are not my Darth Vader 
inner self is the biggest hater
what I belch out and regret later
out right flavor brought to you by my fellow curators
agitators only exist on lonely oceans where my tooth ripped 
watched my blood hit the bird shit on the railing of this cruise ship. 
I’m not only for cool kids to do their blow, 
west coast arctic severe like serum drips on guantanamo, 
underlying my innuendoes my own version of words with friends 
old school like pretendo or new like vapo-pens 
freshman year urethane trends 
with my pen back then and still grinding like 5-0
teenage 90’s like techno and slang words like po-po, 
manifesto, boom I say presto 
Random like Auburn or Rialto, from Palo Alto to Vallejo
thoughts toss from Angel Island 
to bridges by San Mateo 
my stomach needs some pepto, gassy grubbin on pesto
little green morsels I roll them into perfectos, 
I never kept up with my shows nor ingested the main course, 
manifest a press kit 
write till death hits 
in the meantime write these reports to make your records seem extensive, 
prevent nicks and scrapes to save you from getting sore, 
all in a day of training for a sport,
each corner turned reminds me to keep looking north, 
to break off and form some projects with force. 

Tiny Tim, Big City, Little baby goes hard. Lifes a puzzle, build your muscles, as I touch you with these bars.

He doesn’t like it cause he knows me,
tells me stories of when I drank forties 
instead of having it occur that hes mentally fourteen
hometown homey, 
I dont hold the trophy 
as I rap with Toby 
think this is only for exalted but that mindframe doesn’t hold me,
art-less responses, 
preservative baloney
this glass ceiling won’t be encroaching 
roping me and roasting 
cursing cliques
who never see the circle of life and its marvelous repurposes, 
one keeps the key to promote ones assertiveness
hocus pocus, verbose pseudo-poet quips
one liners like “it’s toasted” 
get boasted yet hold no weight 
except for unsatisfied aches 
but they love it so wait. 
scenario worst case 
is your stereo spills the same spewing words of hate that gave you this blockade 
to wade around that wall you found like a buoy, 
it was meant to stop your progression 
make your words less chewy
I may not be the popular shit talker like ba-ba-booey, 
talking crap to entrap yeah thats not me so sue me….

Tiny Tim, Big City, Little baby goes hard. Lifes a puzzle, build your muscles, as I touch you with these bars.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

All they wanna do is get that fat booty
All I wanna do is get that ratatouille
That’d do me 
plus some ooey gooey
So many diggin dirt 
that they never see the bloomy
Frigid livin 
freezin in their one below
Is it mean 
cause I’m turning up the heat in my bungalow?
Thousands and thousands 
life is hella crowded
never waiting to be making 
creating on that nowness
as countless frowns 
criss cross the countenance
even if dead last I’m steadfast
mountainous
eager speakers 
try to beleaguer
My land is peace preferred 
on that Pete Seeger
Little homie... 
sure is comely 
in his foamy coma 
wish he’d stop the codeine
Better message 
got me guessin
To the decrepit tepid
I netted vetted effervescence
Undulous 
energy is one of us
Sunup on the husk 
is the simple sumptuous
Not dumb enough? 
Part of my pastiche
Deci- duous substance
down to my last leaf
Bold spits border
crusty ashy old shit
New views smooth move 
Emollient
Truth is a challenge since 
hip hop’s a rapscallion
their in it till the rally ends
cuz to them it’s just a dalliance
the balance is growth
mixed with longevity
lots of sour bitter soaked
so my flow floats grenadine 
at the end of scenes 
there’s no place for pleasantries
add flavor to the pastry
or get taken out the recipe
steadily 
the miles conflate
so I contemplate the smiles
and on styles concentrate

Verse 2:

I’m a man of words
Tell it like I see it
Melt in my heart 
with my logic to this cement
See spent time 
in the rear view
do what I’m here to
cleansing my mind
commencing my clear view
near to none
here where I’m from
we appear to be normal 
but the weird has just begun
let it pour 
let it run
let it stare into the sun
let it absorb more fun
with no moratoriums
this delorean
may never hit 88
but I’m still aiming for the wall
while I accelerate
Challenge them daemons
a daredevil
unique wont settle 
a rare rebel
boosting up the treble
so I’m hearing every lyric
never snoozing on the message
if you said it then I hear it 
If you said it
then I assume that you meant it
invent it authentic just
please don’t rent it
Purity preserved
No fucks given
Obscurity observed
Podunk visions
Collecting what I earn
Grown up gifting
Absurdity matured so I
Go nuts Living
