2 Flew
prod. by Splitface
[Eyecon]
Where we goin?
We're barely in motion it feels..
That don't matter
It's only for the moment.
We're at the point of
"no turning back",
in the paths that we've chosen
through vocals in rap.
Goin' at it on
boat-loads of tracks..
open the folder,
download attachment.
Gotta get it quick,
record it
and that's that!
There's more in the ocean
that haven't hit land yet
[Capo]
When I was a young boy chilling on the beach
when money meant nothing to me
It was only girls and girls
Yeah they ruled my world
Cause you know I only wanted one thing
A fly little dude
Wasn’t til twenty two
That I really started to dream
I guess before then you could say
A pimp is what I really wanted to be
Now check me out uh
[Eyecon]
I remember way back
when I entered grade 10
anxious, awaitin to chase a cat.
No game back then
that's okay cuz
In that case,
I'd probably be raising a few mutts.
With a few bucks
and too many sluts
I lusted once
and then got stuck with.
Fuck It
That was off the subject
We're just having fun with it.
Capo - Come Bust It!
[Capo]
After the tail chase you enter the rat race
Working for an asshole that probably got a fat face
And the days of staring at waves
Slowly go away like a glass of lemonade
Some turn to drugs
Some turn to grace
Some are still alive
Rolling in their graves
Don’t let um get inside and invade your space
Remember where came from and love that place
Remember where you came from and love that place
Remember Where you came from
and love that place...
Remember Where You came from..
[Eyecon]
Rise, Clean, Eat, Sleep
Fight, dream, Grieve.
Repeat.
Climb - Reach
Sky deep.
Sigh, weep.
Try again.
Drive - Steer
Eyes peeled.
Right here,
die for real
Rhymes, Beats, collide here...
Wide Veer.. tires squeal
[Capo]
When the eyes open
And the world becomes focused
The truth comes screeching in your ear like a locust
It gets real when you step back and notice all the crazy and atrocious powers that control us
They approach us so ferocious
Tearing us apart like a flock of wild vultures
Leave you numb and frozen like a sculpture
Gotta to stay strong like the rock of Gibraltar
[Eyecon]
Come walk with us
follow along..
Partner up and watch your step.
Ain't nothin in life
more precious than
opening eyes and takin a breath.
Walk across it, soft.
Don't run!
You might cause a tumble,
rumble, then fall off.
Ain't nothin in life more threatenin
than knowing that line
and taking that step..

[verse 1: Eyecon]
Its just another day
It's just another day.
another way to play
with shit and say it in clever ways.
Every statement
is ready for placement.
If not, then, Ill save it
It's never erased-ed.
Enter the matrix
presented in HD
Impressive to the ladies
and resented by haters.
I do a day, a verse...
or, a verse, a day.
Or, vice versa
however you heard me say it.
Burnin. Blazin.
Word!
First place in this.
All I'm told is
nowadays, the work is amazin.
Search It, Praise It!
Curse It, Hate It!
Doesn't Matter..
Either way, we're still gon' make it
Murder our language.
Urine in your face, with it.
Gurgle it, taste it, burp it..
Eyyyyy
And no I didn't have to burst
so flagrant and tasteless
but, really, there's no
better way to say it
[chorus, Eyecon & Capo]
You gotta
get it out
C'mon and cut loose
Fine mommas
let me see your Butts move
You got nothing to lose tonight
I love to see you dancing
and enjoying your life
[verse 2: Capo]
Take a break from
the daily bullshit.
Where they're busting balls
in this real world
like a pool stick.
There’s nothing better
to cure the ill, than music.
Lay it down like James Brown
you know the sound is grooving.
When I need to get away
I release the stress
form my chest
and go to another place.
Collect my thoughts
from the data base..
And then I jot it all down
and ink the words to the paper page.
This paper plane
takes me to the center stage
When I grab this mic
I say what I wanna say
It’s the meaning free
definitely
Probably why I’ll do this
forever, never leave.
You stuck with my like
gum under the table
I’ll spit rhymes
as long as I’m Abel
So fuck Caine
you got the stallion in the stable
If I’m cooped up I go Insane
Awol.

Dominoes
[chorus]
all around the globe
and still a ways to go...
watch these dopes fall like dominoes (3x)
Hope you don't fall
but, thats the way it goes
watch these dopes fall like dominoes (3x)
[verse 1: Capo]
Right around Christmas
they call me St Nicholas
pull out your wishlist
for this emcee that’s gifted.
Dopes don’t get it
in one ear and forget it.
But the sound still remains
of the brain uplifting.
Wanna see the change
like the pockets of a rich man..
This is poetry
a modern day Walt Whitman.
Here’s a tip man
You gotta get a grip man
This world spins you round
and makes it tough just to withstand.
It beats you up
black eye, busted lip man..
You gotta be equipped
with the equiptment like a kickstand
Or you fall flat,
like door mat.
Another wasted life
and a victim of the wrong track.
And it’s all bad
But you can do good
Even if your down
on your luck and misunderstood
Even if think it’s worse
than it should be
That just means you haven’t seen
what it could be
[chorus]
[verse 2: Eyecon]
Line ‘em up
in a nice little dotted row
across the floor..
Order? Chronological.
Sort ’em out
Thin or Fat.
Short or tall
white or black
girl or boy
young or old
woman, man..
It don’t matter
just keep your foot planted,
right there.
Cus, there are a lot
of you [rappers], damnit.
Out The door
and all around the globe
to the bottom of the oceans
to the highest of plateaus.
Over yonder,
besides us,
towards us
up high and below us
rewinded and forwarded...
inside us,
and our outer most orafices
lost in time
in a spiraling vortex.
It don’t stop..
It don’t start, either..
it is ongoing, F*ck it!
here’s a good starting point
Stop your search,
right here-
get in front of one
and punch him in the stomach
and watch them all fall.
Dominoes!!!

Sadly, we lost Intellect Emcee b.k.a. Joe Ruma
here is his legacy on record

What Should I Do?
ft. Intellect Emcee
beat by SV
[verse 1: Intellect Emcee]
This..
This beat hot
I'm underground
like a weed spot.
Intellect
I get possesed anytime the beat drop
Boom - Bap!
rat-a-tat-tat
Down Down!
That's the sound
of the sick, abstract
Bubblin spit style
Come in stumblin
Drunk out of Dublin
However never stumblin
one verse.
Won't curse or swear.
For all my religious types
of people out there,
Get your hands up, Yeah!
you know the deal -
With a vibe that you can feel
Do the music.
We appeal to the mass.
Do The Math.
Pose and let the camera flash
You can pay the tax
now, it's time to pay the cast -
Yea, Money up.
That was a tangent
The joint still go
like the MTA transit
Vicious, which specifically
trick mixes of
style,
projection,
delivery,
the message.
All comes together like
linkage in fences
Hang on every sentence
Ignore it with a vengeance
It really doesn't matter,
it's mine.
That's the essence
to shine.
(to shine)(yeah)(yo)
uh.. Sh-i-i-i-ine
(Check me out)
It's mine
[Chorus: Sample + Capo]
[verse 2: Capo]
Born to bust
got a dream
but can’t afford the tour bus
you better let us in
before the frickin door shuts
Amped up
get your damn hands
damped up so much
that when you do a hand shake
you clam up
You sick dick
You can’t mess with Nicholas
His stuffs outta this world
It’s borderline ridiculous
With the quickness
with all my verbal fitness
I rip a track in half like that
Your bout to witness
So come on everybody
Go grab a chair
and pull up a seat
for the hearing impaired (whaaaaat)
Get um close
so they go feel the flow
like naughty
that’s the nature
of this world we know, so
With all that said
the voices in my head said kill it
Go tear up the scene and rebuild it
We got to go get it
while the slowmos
get their throats slit
you got to run and pivot
to dodge all this bullshit.
[Chorus: sample + Eyecon banter]
[verse 3: Eyecon]
hmmm...What to do..
What to do..
What would you
suggest for me if
it was up to you?
Nothing's new
but, the moon and the tune
from S Vissle
sent in through FedEx Google.
Super-Human powers
when we move them vowels
for hours, you can zoom in
and follow.
The Next crew to

Oodles an Oodles
and O's and OOhhh's
Who knows
where the road goes...
bet it,
Goes mores
than yours does.
and uh,
who knows
How to com-
pose flows
as dope as ours?
No One!!!
so, uh
What's next?
The gutter?
or, success?
And uh,
What's best?
The lesser ?

doesn't matter

this is proof of it.
I ain't doin nothin
if it ain't got the music

Dedicated to those we've all lost to the Opioid Crisis and the battle of addiction
lyrics
Before Her
(a.k.a. B4 S(tupid) HE(roin))
beat by SV
[verse 1: Eyecon}
yeah...
Remember long time ago
before you met her(oin)
you still had a firm hold?
Grip bold
on this cold world
stripped soul
No hurt
Just open
So alert to get it rollin'.
But, then that moment
came from out of open.
Now, you've gona and
given all control
to ole girl.
Homie, where you goin'?
No, she doesn't help you grow
or let go for moments, no.
In fact, you just slowly go back
and not forward.
No motive
moan and groan, hopeless.
Dope in your pulse, pump.
Slow up your heart.
And your thoughts are all
caught up and on pause.
Lost in the vaults
and not thinkin 'bout tomorrow...
Or today..
Or yesterday especially
Just a blank face
as you wash away your memories..
and your destiny
No, I would've never seen it comin'
Hope it doesn't be the death of you
or be your summons.
Grief and sufferin'
weezin and huffin
for that drug, boy.
You want it, man
you need her
She loves you.. huh
Squeeze and hug her
Fiend for and steal cuz her
I remember when it wasnt like that.
[chorus: Eyecon accompanied by Capo]
Way back
you wanna go way back
way back when
this wasn't happenin..
Way back
the last group of
pages trashed
take it back
and rewrite that chapter
Way back
you wanna go way back
way back when
somethin' else mattered..
Way back
before bliss
before path
before her
before this
before that
[verse 2: Capo]
The pain we share
is deeper than the pain we wear
so why we paint a picture
like its crystal clear
I miss the happy days
and all the smiling faces
Sometimes, I ask myself
why did your mind erase us?
All the good times
the pawn shop replaced us
The scene got so sick
yeah, So contagious
You moved on to
the bigger shit
the more dangerous
To you, it was more glamorous
more entertainment.
Somewhere you got lost
like being almost famous
I pray everyday
for you to make the changes
We miss who you were
cause now you're so vacant
Been looking everywhere
the high and low places
But for now
until it all calms down
All I have to do
is search for you until your found
I rather find you at your worst
than in the ground...
If you ever wanna talk then
I’ll be around...
[chorus 1x]
[bridge: Eyecon]
Once upon a time..
There was someone
that I used to know
(used to know)
Once upon a time..
There was somewhere
else you used to go
(used to go)
Once upon a time..
You were someone that
I used to know
(used to know)
It never crossed my mind
that you'd be someone
That I used to know..
I thought you should know, so...
[verse 3: Eyecon]
I used to know you
It's sad, but true.
The story's through
Cuz you've been
ghost- gloom..
midnight ocean blue
In control of you
motor skills overload.
It's no use.
I've seen the same road unfold
on the storyboard
of so many souls before
Friend or foe
boy or girl
young or old
any of us...
Shit,
it seems like almost
every other.
But, not you!
No!
Guess I didn't
see it comin..

The cops are beating up
the wrong people on Wall Street
Protect and serve the money
Long live the cash king
The golden crown
Shiny rings and suede robe
You can cross the border
unless you got some pesos
Larger price margins
every-bodies starving
Look at what we started
We’re all looking for a bargain
A deal,
something for nothing
like a steal
A robbery
trying to make it big
like the lottery
The colleges
probably got to be
One of the most
corrupt and unjust
messing up the whole economy
Promising you dreams
but those dream aren’t reality
You got to teach yourself
degrees aren’t a salary
Your living on a fallacy
A life in debt
is like a love in threat
Caught up in the scheme
like isosceles
I ask
Am I rocking this properly?
Do you really give a shit
why they're taking all your property?
Repo your car
resell your house
You just moved in
but it’s time to get the hell out
I guess it’s how it is now
Every man for himself
for the wealth
Its a brawl
and it’s all out
[Chorus: Capo]
Look at all the buildings
look at all the cars
Just look around
do you know where you are?
[Eyecon:]
(Do you know where you are?)
(Do you know where you are?)
Look at all these people
look at all these stars
Just look around
do you know where you are?
[Eyecon:]
(Do you know where you are?)
(Do you know where you are?)
[verse 2: Eyecon]
Determined to
seek purpose
and relearn
what it means
to be a person.
We Earthlings need
resurfacing urgently.
Please, Emergency!
Each turned leaf
we are deserving
whether it brings fury
or it brings perfect.
Each turn of event
Each current
Each Earth spin
Each verse spit.
Reasrch, dig
Lift clean dirt from it
See worth in it
and renurture it
These words I pick
will bring earth to it
and return it with
perfect curvature.
Circle, oval, square.
Global opener.
Vocal tone, inert
to your closing ears.
Over here isn't different
the globe is there.
I'm just making sure
that you're aware of it.
Yeah..
I'm just making sure
that you're aware of it.
Yeah..
Look
[chorus]
[instrumental bridge]
[chorus]

Do you know where you are?
Do you know where you are?
And Is It Far?

A Mazez
ft. Gage D (of The Perfect Strangers)
beat by DJ Trog
[verse 1: Gage D]
Tell me
what's the problem?
Im all up on this album..
on the week
I make a beat.
Then, I put it up for salvage
On the weekend I'ma
geek on these soundclips
Lost and found shit.
making music
from everything around us.
And I know I'll never have enough
Cuz this music moves more
than the mortal man
can mooch off one mortgage.
And Advice?
To sum it up, off one chorus
"You've got to love yourself"
before your self performances.
The utmost importances
become priority..
Only trust as much as
you can throw at the authorities.
Cuz differents situations
make a man just wanna
make a man..[and]
break a man to his most basic parts.
Trust your gut, but better
thrust with your heart..
Sometimes follow a mission
with what you're swingin' with.
That's right...
I said it.
Peace to J. Trog
for this beat and
much respect kid, because
[chorus: Gage D.]
I know that I
cannot make you
but I will try
do what I do..
Ima man, Ima taker
Im the pen, Im the paper
Ima beast on these beats
Ima speaker.. (you know)
I know that I
cannot make you
but I will try
do what I do..
Ima man, Ima taker
Im the pen, Im the paper
Ima beast on these beats
Ima Speak up (because)
[verse 2: Capo]
The rush is in the
habit of rappin'. Inhabiting
a world of madness.
My passion
Stay on top of mines
like a captain.
Watch every move
Let my blood stay cool
Let my blood stay blue
Let my lungs stay full
Our feet still move
Our heart still groove
This music still sooth
This flow is still smooth
It’s Jim’s pool Room
in the john Wilkes booth
I flow with my crew
We’re out for the coup.
Out with the morning dew
Hawk and spew
Rocking to the rhythm, everyday
it’s just like Katt would do.
Rest In Peace
to the illest spitting beast.
Memories never cease
Speech is concrete
Heavy with the Speak
Dropping to the beat
We got this shit locked
and we swallowed the key
Three songs a week
Perfection to the T
Strangely to the E
We are microphone fiends
[chorus]
[verse 3: Eyecon]
But to sum it up??
really, Ima dreamer..
Until the sun is up
this is how its rehersed.
Different sound..
Switch it?
nah, reverse.
These words reach surface
when beats burst.
On the up and up
deep down, I'm researched
What's beneath emerges
in a round-about, bubble up..
And if it's done enough
the sounds just might couple up
and shuffle up
somethin from up above.
This is how somethin troublin'
might double up
cuz it's covered up
without it gettin out..
So, sit and pout or
stick it out feet first
different style
listen now, rebirth.
I figure now I gotta
live without the dream first
and dis-empower what I've
given out, this amount.
It's allowed me to
just about summon up
such illustrious wonders
when I've written down each verse.

[verse 1: Eyecon]
That's right..
ch-ch-check it
First comes the sentence
and then comes the message.
and next
the method is wreckage
another-dimension sent,
Extra-terrestrial.
Never go against the feeling
It's in the soul
Feel the pulse
the vibe, you can hear it soar
in your eardrums til you
hear nothin else
Elevate
So you can be somewhere else.
Never felt another vibe
like I have felt..
When I write a rhyme
and I spit it out.
In and out with a style
I bounce around.
It's alright
as long as it sounds alike.
Mountain's high
but, I will climb all of 'em
and fly above them
and smile as I'm hoverin'
I'm in love with it
my drug is the thump-kick
Let us in
Turn it up and bump it!
yuhh
[verse 2: Capo]
Ziggy ziggy Zow
Throw it down, fast ball
Strike em out
like a pitcher on the mound
it’s just rap, y’all.
Feel the vibe
let it guide and enhance y'all
seduce and romance
just dance
and do the night crawl
The way I boogy
gotta make your lady lookie
Call into work, playing hooky
You call it nooky.
I ain’t a rookie
out drank Snooky
Took a lot of chances
owing money to my bookie.
Cause life ain’t sweet
with a jar and no cookies
The acronym is LOV
Living off of Victories
Put my life on film
make my life a movie
I’m solid as a rock
in the hoochie Coochie
A pirate with a booty
in my jacuzzi
I’ll sail the seven seas
A captain - not a newbie
Please excuse me
Don’t take me for a floozy
If I curse like a sailor
hit the bailor in her boobies
[verse 3: Glax The Ripper]
I'm IT man
with the fist, man..
Have you flippin
Gettin' twisted
cuz the rhyme's so gifted
Man, I'm lifted
like a Blip, kid.
Get a Blumkin
on the toilet
like that shit ain't nothin.
Whatchu wantin?
Have you summer-saltin
You're psyche is the point
of attack that I'm assaultin
When I bomb, man
doin' harm quick
No time for alarm
When you fall
faster than a strippers thong, then..
Always try to warn kids
before my next performance..
Don't come talkin wreckless
Actin like you're hecklers.
See what that will get you
When The Academic wrecks you
B Smooth ain't here for rescue
him and Capo here to get you
And guarantee the issue
will be squashed
before they miss you
We decimate our foes
and eradicate their tissue
My optics are the optimus
Shock 'em just like lightning dust
Snuff is the optimus
we never sniff that bottom-dust
[verse 4: Jack Flanders]
I sit back
and kick it like Karate
Pruning my bonsais with
Mr. Miagi
I party every day
from sun-up to sun-down
From Belleville to The Lou
I'm too much for one town
Glax's got my bak
So does Eyecon & Capo
You paint with a stock tip
I bomb with a fat, bro
Spit with a passion
Gaspin' off this hash-blunt
I'm not sippin' liquor
sut, still feelin' like I'm
half drunk
Got a bitch twistin my spliff
Another countin cash up
While you bootleg moonshine and
live at the trash dump.
The white-jamaican
High and blazin'
Rollin' up a big spliff
I can't stop smokin'
kinda like I'm Bill Hicks
Sharper than a drill bit
Always on point
3 papers put together
now, that's what I call a long joint
Smoked a lot of pot, though,
I'm not a rastafari
Still Feelin' The Vibe
you can call me Bob Marley

The Senses
beat by SV
[verse 1: Eyecon]
I look up high
and see the sunshine
This is just fine
feeling a-live.
What has bothered me
now, is behind me
trailing off spiraling
now, its all positive.
...yeah, I got this.
No problem, now.
Naw, yeah I'm confident
My stride is now linin' up
just fine, in line with
promising, probable.
more possible, than not.
Watch us go
grab a hold of our own
lucky ole pot-of-gold
Cuz of our flows,
spoken powerful
out of our souls..
It is our turn.
Our determined
value and purpose
combined with the work
put in, now
has been surfacing.
Hours spent?
10,000 the minimum.
No less than.
Now, we're about to
be widely known
[verse 2: Capo]
Travel with the wordsmith
climb cliffs on hieroglyphs
you ain’t high as this
you can ask my psychiatrist
Fire fists
Fire up this environment
Your gonna need some firefighters
I’m Hephaestus
Just trying to shine a light beam
And turn it ito a light year
Just trying to make a dream
out of these nightmares
Life’s a ball and chain
Life’s a crazy game
We’re only here for so long
and then we go away
So every word we say
Has got to mean something
So your brain learns something
while your mean mugging
Fix your face
Tie your laces
Get your shirt tucked in
You don’t got to like me
I’m not your moms husband
You don’t gotta love me
I’m just a human being
Really just some dna
watch me wear my genes and
Really just a pulse
we’re all born beating
We’re all born to spread our voices
That’s why we’re speaking
[hook, back-and-forth]
That’s why we got these ears
so we really hear
That’s why we got these eyes
so we see it clear
That’s why we this heart
so you feel it if it
starts to embark and
make the light in the dark appear
(repeat)

The Beat
beat by Capo
[verse 1: Eyecon]
It's the beat
that has enetered me
and stricken me
and given me the energy
and driven me to victory.
Script the speech
quickly and rhythmically.
Other emcees give in
almost instantly.
Disbelief will just lead
to injury.
Crisp clean delivery
will reach so convincingly.
Inner-demons defeated when
I lyrically, Spit a 16..
riveting, mystery.
It's the beat.
I hear it in my sleep
I'm buried in deep in it.
There's really no equal feeling
So, here it is
Fierce mean lyricism
No comparing it
against it
or, near it. It is
a myriad of syllables
searing in the sky
over us.
Stacked up like the pyramids
It opens us and shows us, like
"here it is".
So, here it is..
there's no other, PERIOD!
[verse 2: Capo]
It’s the beat when I wake
and when it’s sunny out
It’s the beat when it’s dark
and all the dummies out
Running round town
got the beats in the background
Bumping through the street
The systems up
and all the windows down
Feeling so good like we should
Just chilling out
High up in the clouds
Til we Parachute back to the ground
I wish y’all a safe landing
Don't panic!
The chute don’t open
if the flyer's frantic.
So pull the rip chord
And soar like the Air Force.
Look down and think about
what you’re there for.
Big questions, yeah
With little time.
Watch the world
fly by at the speed of light
This is life,
Real time and in flight
When you shouldn’t waste a second
That’s the lesson of tonight
Cause things change
like water and ice
The molecules splice and divide
like Little grains of rice.

Under The Ground
ft. Ryan Wordsmith (a.k.a. Rated R)
beat by SV
[intro talk: Ryan Wordsmith]
We Underground
But, that don't mean we under the ground..
Yeah... We ain't just whistlin' dixie, bitch!!
haha..
[bridge/chorus]:
(it's not Dead)
Just because we're underground
Don't mean we're under the ground..
It's Not Dead
(repeat)
[verse 1: Capo]
Question..
would you be rich if you could?
Response..
does a bear shit in the woods?
In sunny skies
I make it rain like Prince would
I'd be that guy, saying Hi
with a wallet looking like a book
Slap it down
pass out twenties
when I give the pound .
You’d all love
me wanna hug me when I come around.
From my town? Grab a drink - it’s on me
Gather round, let’s toast
to having bread like Sarah Lee
You know the paper
the currency that’s from a tree
the doe re me, the gold, the booty
I’d buy an island, it’d be like a jacuzzi
Living large like one big movie
Charlie Sheen dreams
Don’t wake me from my snoozing
Deep sleeping
feeling like one long weekend
It’s nice to relax
it keeps you out the deep end
but for now it’s just
the underground that we're seeing.
[chorus:Ryan Wordsmith & Eyecon]
Just because we underground
don't mean we under the ground..
...it' not Dead! (3x)
Just because we underground
don't mean we under the ground..
Hell No, it's not Dead!
[verse 2: Eyecon]
Just because we're underground
don't mean we're under, now
without the possibility
of climbin' out.
As far as I can see
all's we gotta find a route
and glide through it, not speeding.
Tires bald, ride it out.
Smile or frown for us
We don't give an either or..
Flyin' fuck, not no more
Rise on up out that door...
Gossip talk of
How?, Why?, If/What for?
has that crew of them
not been touring?
Underground and not quite
in tune with
what is right for music..
(from YOUR point of view, you douche)
Super-glued to the groove
of the 1, 2
The boom and the thump
help me switch up the SKU
Coming to a website near you
There's not alotta moolah
to get up and movin'.
Underground!
Big up's - the movement.
Still making music
Give love up to us.
[alt. chorus: Ryan Wordsmith
accompanied by Capo & Eyecon]
Even Though we under ground
Don't mean we under the ground
... It's not dead! (3x)
Even Though we under ground
Don't mean we under the ground
Hell No, It's not dead!
[verse 3: Ryan Wordsmith]
We underground
Shit's deep like 6 feet..
With us 3 over 30 years of technique
Been a while, now
Non-ible lifestyle
Immitators get frowned on
we innovators...
In my city,
no love unless you signed major
Damn shame,
at the shows can count the spectators..
No, I'm not mad
But, it is kinda sad
y'all not seeing the amount of talent
that my city really has.. Damn
Guess I really ain't shit
till I end up in a Mag?
10 room mansion, Escalade & A Jag?
40 inch rims
Diamond bezzle on my bag..
Shit is short-bus
They takin' short cuts
Forced to retire early
Lips on shut
Trust & believe -
They don't want beef..
We in Jim's Pool Room
Home of the cold cuts.
[Chorus, outro fade, talk]

SuperNova
beat by SV
[verse 1: Capo]
So who wanna play with the stars?
Who’s feeling extra large?
Who can grab a pen
and rip the whole page apart?
Insane as these thoughts get
the paths clear when we walked it
Channels are tuned in
frequencies are barking ..
Beyond all that typical
Individual, admire the ritual
Habitual.
The down right mystical .
There’s no limit
once he heart's in it
The authentic
Just go get it
It’s not timid.
Love livin'.
Thankful for the days I’m given.
Keep it non fiction
Until the soul starts drifting
The way it written
It’s hypnotizing
Enterprising
it’s no surprising
It comes alive when
the beat kicks.
I get inside it..
and I ride it
'til the wave quits..
This is not the basic,
it’s my spaceship..
[Chorus]
We can go wherever we wanna go
we can flow however we wanna flow..
We can go all around the globe
with just the rhymes that we wrote
we can go passed everything you know..
You know??
(repeat)
[verse 2: Eyecon]
A huge Explosion..
BOOM!! it's over with..
The newest crew has formed
in Tha Lou, by a fluke.
2 of the dopest
(and) a few others, chosen,
included in the Crew, dude..
It's Jim's Pool Room!!!
SuperNova, so huge,
It implodes on itself
and is vacuumed
into a black hole
From out the moon
and beyond...
An unusual Duo.
Heart pumps musical pulses.
Super-flow - producers are so fluid
The usage is 2-fold.
You don't
use enough parsecs.
Futuristic, too..
but, never far fetched.
And never small steps.
We are large and in progress
Far beyond y'all..
abroad from the Cosmos..
So, don't get lost in our thoughts,
They are bottomless.
And on and on..
we will squash the largest
galactic supercluster
down into stardust..
[chorus]
(repeat, fade)

The Movement
ft. Sadat X, & Jia Davis
beat by Capo
[verse 1: Sadat X]
follow my movement
to see where the groove went
as always,
created on the tables and hallways
SV, Jia Davis, Capo & Eyecon
Catch me on the nikon
Freeze that frame (Freeze)
And march from the Arch to the Statue,
I'm at you..
All the way to Boston
where the Bruins
raised that cup..
Combined with the cowboy..
That's What's up.
A young boy grown to man.
See the greys,
hear the phrase
See the voice..
I'ma always be choice
The Cowboy rides alone..
You'll get hit with this stone (bang)
and you gon' have to bury your own
and when I die
bury me with my microphone..
Picture this portrait
Of me rhymin in the orchard
Thick like, sick like
body wash
Run through your fabric like the maveric
Fast break.
Money to make
and honey to take
We do this at our leisure..
we only aiming to please ya..
...(That's all we aimin' for)
[verse 2: Capo]
But low, sell high
They don’t need to know you're that fly
They’ll try to clip your wings
and knock you out the sky.
Camaflouged with body guards
They don’t need to know you're that large
Drive a Ford
you don’t need to be in that car..
Thinking shits funny
Til they stick you for your money
Leave you on the street
butt naked like a dummy .
You're looking like prey
to a predator that’s hungry
You'll Just run away
if they lick their lips
and rub their tummy.
Watch your steps kid
Yeah yeah watch your steps
Cause one mistake can happen
in one breath ..
It don’t take much to get touched
In this world you trust
You got to let it go
(that anger that you hold)
Heaven or hell, you go
when that bottle explodes
The black hole erodes
And your body implodes
Get control of your soul
before you name's on a stone
We built this city
with our microphones
so go and get your own
[verse 3: Jia Davis]
Check the time machine,
rhyme machine..
Blind the scene
design the thing..
Local heads tell me
I'm the king
rewind the dream..
There's parts missing out
before I flooded the streets,
of beats that started in the house
Save the doubt
cus I ain't feelin
what you speakin about
Keep opinions to myself
and I ain't leakin' 'em out..
Fast forward to the present moment..
you gotta own it.
You can't live up to it
so, now you gotta clone it
Stop! open your eyes
peep the reflection..
What you speaking about
and what's true -
no connection.
I symbolize mine, through Ink.
and manifest it.
You're skeptical, suggestable..
And I ain't stretchin'
4 Sale But Not..
You can bite it
but, it's ours..
More than bars
and what you get from being stars
In touch with reality
and true to myself..
and that's the reason why
I'm speaking in this booth
Why else?
[verse 4: Eyecon]
Follow the movement
watch cuz we move quick
stomp as we March
onward into it..
all yall can do
is just watch and not do shit.
And look confused, out of it..
Stupid!
Y'all pop-off at the tongue
and your two lips.
Chatterbox
Nonsense
Coffee-shop
Foolish..
on and on with gossip
you should quit.
Estrogen Vagina-Cunt
clogged up..
Douche it!!!
The movement
Poof!!
It's the new cut
You should get a new view
zoom in and shut the fuck up
Who knew that the new crew
to buck up and bruise you
would come from
a town called St. Louis?
the movement is huge
and is booming your system..
You cruise to it listening
with your boo and her friends
Jim's Pool Room, 4Sale,
and Brand Nubian.
In tune with the music
it's beautiful..
Who's next?

Able To See
beat by SV
[intro bridge: Eyecon]
we're able to see....
by this beat by SV...
[verse 1: Eyecon]
we can see clear, no obstruction..
we are focused on
what is sure to come for us.
For the moment.. towards tomorrow,
going only
for the ultimate goal accomplished.
Never sour-puss, negative outlook
hazy-grey optics
or nay-saying.. Not us!
On watch
for our spot with binoculars
it is not that far
each hour the clock ticks
On spec.. minutes and seconds
every instant we're stepping..
Our progress [is] limitless.
Inch by inch, consistently,
will still cover great distances
before we are finished.
More vision than yours.
Forget it..
we're zoned in and looking for more
and we won't quit,
for infinity.
But, still just a blink in the eye
on the timescale
of the great mystery..
..yeah
[chorus: Both]
Got to win this shit the hard way
Our way
all day
all night
gotta fight for a better life..
We all wanna break through
to the other side..
If life's a trip
get a grip and enjoy the ride
(repeat)
[verse 2: Capo]
The system isn’t balanced
justice isn’t fair
The scales are off centered
the evidence is there
The tax is too high
The leaders are scared
But..
you’d be too
with all the hate in the air
Do you see everything A to Z?
Do you need a key to unlock your mind?
Does it need to be controlled
to keep the people in line? Hmmm
I think about this all the time.
We put humans on pedestals
High above all of us..
so, when they talk
it’s like Jesus is calling us
How did we get so meek?
It’s like their on to us
Fuck Twitter
when their eyes are always following us
The iPhone got a tracker, like a Geo..
Don’t slip up and go and lie to your PO
They get PO'ed and lock you away
They got us all trapped
between a rock and a hard place..
[chorus: Both]
Got to win this shit the hard way
Our way
all day
all night
gotta fight for a better life..
We all wanna break through
to the other side..
If life's a trip
get a grip and enjoy the ride
(repeat)(fade)

High-Low (Slug It Out)
ft. SV
beat by SV
[verse 1: Capo]
Lost in this, here
like a room with 1000 mirrors
Feeling upside down
Swingin' like a chandelier.
The sound went
and grabbed my soul
when it hit the ears
Reminiscing bout the past
going through the years.
The highs and lows
The love and hate
the rocky roads.
The joy and pain
the ups and downs
the steep slopes
Life’s a tightrope
the stress can make a man psycho
Some reach for a pipe
Some reach for a Bible
Some reach for the stars
Some reach for a rifle
You gotta take your shot
to see where it might go
A life without goals
is like a life without hope
Spit the facts so fat..
in fact, the track need lipo.
Slim it down
concentrate the sound to something vital
The pure uncut
never stop or sitting idle
Reaching for the top,
like the highest title
Numero uno,
The illest crew That you know
[chorus]
[:Eyecon] In 'N Out
[:Capo & SV] In 'N Out
(repeat 3x)
[:Eyecon] yeah, we've up and down
All around on this Earth
as the Sun goes 'round..
Spun around
low-HIGH, Down and Out
[:Eyecon] Up 'N Down
[:Capo & SV] Up 'N Down
(repeat 3x)
[:Eyecon] yeah, we've been all around
Fallin' down on the ground
But, we stuck it out..
low-HIGH..
sometimes we gotta slug it out.
[verse 2: Eyecon]
I've been low, high
I've been up, down
I've been inside
and I've been on the out.
On the route to stardom
back then, I thought I was.
Then I hit some speed bumps
sharp turns and road blocks.
Thank god
Cuz that's not the route that I would hoof
now, If I had a choice
No, I like that slow progress
Low-High shit
goin' in and out of crowds
No, dont bother me
I am so underground.
I've been back forth
I've been spun around
I've been passed over
and I done stuck it out.
Front and center
for a second, i've been in it
like I might've been a threat
but, never for a minute.
I've been out and in
uppers, downers, meds.
Chuggin' stouts with friends
and huffin down a spliff
But, I've never been as low
or high as I can get
when symbols, snare, kick,
sample hit
and I start to spit.
Yeah
[Chorus]
[outro]
[repeat, fade]
