i feel like a million 
i feel like ive been here so many times before 
one again i have to bless the mic 
as i bless the lord 
press record 
as i adore 

hip-hop that always test the discord 
keep yearning for more
when im low 
i unsheathe the sword
the body’s a temple  
my windows to the soul 
keeps me rhyming on the 4s 
its simple 
the lyrics the decor 
paints interior behind the doors 
keeps from the floor

this architecture never poor 
erecting and strong foundation and a core 

i abhor 
most fake people who never do there chores
that’s why i lecture and push the culture forward 

rapping on melodic beats and chords 

half the time i feel like a million 

【Translated Lyrics】 わかお
My view of Tokyo has changed since I was wondering if Tokyo was doomed. 
I'm the only one who has no choice. 
Minato-ku madam is walking her dog.
 If you get hooked, you're stuck in a cul-de-sac. That girl is now a wanderer in Ikebukuro. 
What do you think, IMO, why did you come to Japan?
 People from different backgrounds and faces cross paths in this town. 
The end of those who do not understand the rules of the law of the jungle. 
The torrential rain in Shinjuku has stopped, and the night I feel like I will find you.
 

i dream of basking under Tokyo night lights 
that’s full disclosure 
me and Wakao 
living different lives, a different history 
a different culture 
but somehow the rhymes and beat will bring us closer 
the same closure 
the same bars we rhyming over 
to the same drunkards and the sobers
to the same  youngest peoples to the oldest
i bless the mic 
i bless the game
ive told ya
time and time again, once over  

rapping from Japan to the Georgia 

 
 
im rapping international 
cause hip hops '
world wide
to every nations capital
cause we all live with pain 
and  struggles 
it happens tho 
that human taxation 
living capital
age  the collateral  
so i pick up the mic 
its magical
hey Wakao 
why do you think i came to Japan? 
the eastside
travels of
a black kid 
i feel like a million 
a black man

A Million (Ft. わかお)

imo 
this one about aging
yo 
i just turned 25 
but every time i look outside 
i think i might not really make it 
between crackers killing, black lives matter and the hate to Asians 
even overseas 
that nigga Vladimir be hating 
this heart aching
we've steered away from sacred 
we happened to peace, love and positivity in the making?
that i pray with
today its
 19 young souls lost with this wreckage
but nothing always changes  
except my hope in humanity 
which is always fading

i guess that means im aging 

wrinkles appearing
what little left i have to say its 
made with a beat, rhymes and a  
cadence
cause when your hearing this 
i really only hope it makes sense

id like to change the world when you play this 

im speaking of myself 
like Kendrick stated 
no savior 
self entitled prophets faking
i want to help you with this pain and 
 and always be there for you anytime  when all is vacant
 alone 
and  debating
creation or creating 
healing or desecration
 that creates this body that is laying
on the verge of fainting 
i need to stop 
and think 
of all those years 
of gaming
with my family and friends
these good times 
even if my memory is waning 
i can still recline and think of all your beautiful laughs
 your smiles that was  never laming
cause even in past they would be  taming
calamities of anxiety creating 
this is past entertaining, hip hop, or rap 
this poetry  in the making

cause even if its all is gone 
these words remain staying 
suspended in time 
these rhymes 
will remind 
that you aging

congratulations
 

   
  

time changes all 
whether winter, spring, or fall
no matter how tall you  are
you all eventually will fall
cause time can only worn 
this calm before storm  

these seasons that i call emotions
that keep me warm  

through this life the reasons i be coasting 
over horizons i be floating
and over the bars this is a warning 
this life i  pray to god it keeps going 
pain and strive 
but im knowing 

every king loses power to his throne and 
 eventually 
 every pebble turned into to the stoning
  overthrowing 
all rebel energies 
that be mowing 
this  mental synergy 
showing
age 
lack of empathy
that im going 
this is growing
many years 
ahead me these many tears that were always flowing 

tsuyoi taifū no sattetta yoru ni
takai biru no ue kara machi o nagameteta
boku wa mada sukoshi utsurigi de
sarigiwa no taimingu o tsukami sokoneteru

rarara rarara rarara rarara

Aging (Ft. netai. /寝たい。)

Man it looks like I never change
Me and the game
Always remain the same
At my lowest
Watching 5 o clock
News media insane
I know the game got me to stay
Got me dry up in this rain
Shining in the shade
Demonic when I pray
These Phonics  when the beat came
But a nigga didn’t choose the fame
I flew a different path
Check my blind spots
Before I changed my lane

i put my foot on the gas like propane 
destiny awaits 
yet i can still look back and see this chain 
cause we all slaves to this pain 
so im glad i was put on to this game
cause every time im mad 
 a nigga  uses these rhymes to tame
like a crane 
he pulls back 
see bigger picture 
to see the frame
that’s life cascading over everglades
this water painting over muscle strain
its such a shame 
this be the same game 
that keeping so many bodies slain
we all working hard  
but i know a few niggas who could turn u into minute made
in minute
man 
i hope your body wont be lain
these same nigga say 
fuck that lemonade 
cause sometimes hard work does not equal pay
 so i seize the day
and keeping working hard 
blessing god
currently confessing, writing on this plane 
 to all my test and struggles i take aim
i check my bags and my luggage i have faith
for my destiny 
i want best for me and my people 
i want change
so i will lug around this suit case of pain 
for how many nights 
and how many days
uses this brain 
clearing this stain 
of history  
about to be late
so today i bless the mic 
i bless the game 
back in my whip 
on the highway 
off into the distance i fade

The Game (Ft. J-C)

潮騒(Sio Sai)

this for you....
My 1st amendment
Im truly asking what the fuck is going on
My constitution in every track I’ve ever written on
But in a 2nd I see so many people bearing arms
I carry my
Microphone
Pen and pad ammunition
Pushes me on
By 3rd, I soldier on 
even if these demons quarter in my Corazón
I know I’m not alone 
we all fighting in a war at home
so sing along 
to every song 
every 4th a snare hits 
I search and seize 
to carry on
I learned from 
all my trials 
trauma and tribulations
niggas did me wrong 
but I’m born from a
genetic phenomenon
man whose hair was like wool 
and skin was like bronze
everyone 
 knows i got it going on 
every 5th 
its god 
only one I truly confess to and confess from
cause on my 6
 he got my back as i confess my crimes and convictions
its high stakes
I know with my faith
I can reach the highest plains
 despite my all accusations

but by 7th, I hope I’ve reached heaven, to see a jury of my peers in the congregation
i hope my life case ends in a celebration 
but be no mistaken 
every 8 seconds 
ya soul can be left alone
 all in the cold be and forsaken 
sent to cruel and unusual damnation
so stay awaken
every 9th
its more than meets the eye 
than enumeration 
im talking transformation
manifestation
that’s free will awaiting
even my engine runs through devastation 
cause by 10th
your drive was left by reservation
my bill of rhymes
in a journey of a lifetime, 
this journey of nation
If i don’t truly make it
Just know you don’t have to give me no lifelines
No resuscitation
Cause I found myself in every rhyme
In my creation
Never lost , my homecoming  is my soul levitation
I’m heaven-sent I know my destination
I pray to big G , but PS , you cross me, there truly be no hesitation
Tired of the fake MCs who  always bring the complications
This ain’t no hating , 
just a simple reminder that we real hip hop, sorry to keep you niggas waiting
A true love
 Where the lyric and beat have a fornication
We the oksakana we swam in the water
Our lyrical flows the presentation
So please plays on any radio station
Cause we the spirit  nigga
We push boundaries , we cross nations
Culturally
across mountains
across plantations
America to Japan
what a combination
we causing commotions 
with the lyrical potions 
now bewitch the conversation
we destined for greatness 
in due time but there’s no hasten
but i got to pass it on, cause i got wakao waiting
Translated lyrics (Wakao):

on a blank notebook
what to write is up to me
this is the ultimate freedom
What I'm looking for is now in my hands
Unnecessary boredom, vibes to follow
A monster that throws away obsessions and rhythms
Two years spent quite carelessly
I was dead when asked what I was doing
It would be a lie if I said I had no regrets
I'm about to turn into nothing
Resisting the solidified future
out of reach
I have to fly more
I have to fly more
Leave it like this
Leave it like this
The excuse that impatience doesn't produce anything
Screen scrolling with dead eyes
I can't step forward without a chance
"About us who are weak
A song to save
help someone
Can you do things like that?
ask yourself question
The verse I wrote after thinking about various things
The number of times I cried, the things I can say should have increased
human mind and so on
Things that change all the time
I can't help but be imprisoned
I want to laugh and cry
It is said that it hurts
Tired of the stagnant present
I don't think so
That's interesting
sprit of osakana
still small fish
Wakao's berth from the Far East
Treasures connected with each other

Fearless Spirit is a track off Part 1 of QuintusKing's first full-length album, "Embodiment of Sound".

An experimental hip-hop instrumental that combines a powerful flute sample with energetic percussions, the track is a sonic representation of a soul that is fearless - one that can look even death in the eye unphased.

Embodiment of Sound

Fearless Spirit

Odd is a track off Part 1 of QuintusKing's first full-length album, "Embodiment of Sound".

A collaboration between QuintusKing and MC Akin Yai (former member of American hip-hop group CYNE), this track features a dark and subtle beat backing Akin's powerful verses. Odd is a stream of consciousness assembly of rhymes touching on oddities in personality, nature, characters, and social mechanics. It is also a lament for the current state of the hip-hop industry and rappers' lack of growth.

Lyrics:

Hook:
Bunch of phonies
Aww Klaus Nomi
Blank stares
No fear
Well y'all know me
That means I’m quite off
I mean quite God
I defy odd
Yea that slap hard

Verse 1:
Here's what you asked for
Stamps on the passport
From Benin to these Malaysian asphalts
I don't seen’em all and waved bon voyage
Soul flying abroad
Aboard on a wayward course
I came from greatness
Before displacement
Non-complacent reparative arrangement
They are in order
For sons and daughters
I told y’all to fight
survive the slaughter
Fuck the radio
I'm voodoo in your stereo
Am I a GOAT?
For sure that’s no maybe yo
A go-getta
That’s so meta
Deep in me hues
The blues are mo' better
Sleep in the school
They snooze
I know better
Sheep to the music
You's a Coretta
Follow King
No creep or hollow thing
I sorrow sing
Like a dream I’m conjuring

*Hook

Verse 2:
It’s a charade
A guessing game that plays
Out in the open
Every character’s a slave
Glass box emotion
You are clearly entertained
Cloud is you token
This is yearly purple rain
Song and dance give a fuck
What you are playing
You sing and dance
Give a fuck what you are saying
I am an African Prince in real life
So fantasy pales compared to mine's, right?
In hindsight it’s by design light
Was sent here
To guide the blind
Divine right
God is aiming
Blao
Who put the pain in
Do not trust a rapper
They cap and entertainment
Sponsored by the devil
They flex
I’m edutainment
Gonzo I’m a rebel at best in my lamenting
The maturation
Of us I’m representing
Cuz 45 in a gang
That’s quite depressing
50 years a teen
God bless ya 2nd childhood
Peace Florida
Don’t forget Rosewood
Out

Weaponry (ft. I.M.O)

let me tell yall a secret 
sometimes my strength is my only weakness 
thats why my queen my weakness
ebony, cream and peaches 
i am addicted to the sweetness
not even diabetes can defeat 
this 
or was that yet again my ignorance 
you took with 
back when we met and i was still weaing adida kicks 
thinking i was an elitist
but i still am,cause im still out here praising higher beings
its sprit above man 
we had the same plans
started dreaming
started teaming 
my old scars 
healing 
fading 
no longer fixating 
on my past 
mistaking 
or compensating


 
qualities redeeming 
nigga was once in the dark , now i stand in these lights gleaming 
my heart beaming 
understand 
it grows founder when im missing 
and i ponder that  
if thats the true meaning
of love 
then ill start believing
stay on the right path and stop careening
together on this long journey 
i want you to just know im never leaving
i drive away demeaning 
turn away the demons 
till u were brought my way thanks to the all foreeing
----------------------------------------
thanks to you im still achieving 
in your presense 
my insides they still steaming
 
its your  essence i cradel when im deraming 
that im missing 
its 
beyond kissing 
beyond tactile touch 
beyond feeling
 
but untill then ill have to stick to reminiscing 



and i think its fowl that i never smiled 
i guess its no more adding broken hearts to my profile
but the story stays the same 
the name of the game
remains 
you would think that i would change   
but the story stays the same 
the name of the game 
remains 
you would think that i would change
i guess its no more adding broken hearts to my profile  
and i think its fowl that i never smiled  

環状線を回って、君への思い巡り巡って
kanjousen wo mawatte kimi eno omoi meguri megutte
戻らないこともう分かってる
modoranai koto mou wakatteru
笑って、笑って
warette waratte
(2:05~)
月から日曜　君がいる日常
getukara nitiyou kimigairu nichijou
今日は何しよう　名にし負う
kyou wa nanisiyou nanisiou
甘い蜜の味に酔う
amai mitsu no aji ni you
体は火照る　抱いた腕の中　あなたは溶ける
karada wa hotel daita ude no naka anata wa tokeru
冷たい床で踊ろう　今はもう悲しいモノローグ
tsumetai yuka de odorou ima ha mou kanashii monologue
(2:25)
取り戻せない温もり　普通の人になれなかったつもり
torimodosenai nukumori hutsuu no hito ni narenakatta tsumori
気持ちはまたも移ろい
kimochi ha mata mo utsuroi
「そういうのって都合いい？」
souiunotte tsugou ii
(2:34~)
愛とか恋とか
ai toka koi toka
好きとか嫌いとか
suki toka kirai toka
凹とか凸とか 
ou toka totsu toka
どうとかこうとか
dou toka kou toka


if i was the strongest man 
i would truly turn to sand 
the day i met you 
and i took your hand
things
even the smartest man 
cant comprehend 

 so i close my eyes once again
 in my view is your face 
the pictures 
plastered within
even on our worst days 
you could never offend 
thats real
picture perfect 
the fullest you brought to my life when i was thin
living grayscale
back then
nowadays 
you delievering so many
beautiful color god damn combinations 

like the mocha hue
of the skin 
that touches mine
we come together 
make an artitic occasion  
the   sensation
or the deepest blue in the sky creation
im outside 
tell me why 
i can see your face in the cloud formations

when percipitation 
reigns 
i keep the vivations 
i dry heave 
you tame the pain 
and keep the good vibartions 
ill never leave
till we meet again 
ill simply remain waiting

I Would Change
