Big picture: Small Signs to a Grand Design

Think of the general direction. Self progress is the inner section. Unleash the wreath, imagine the end. The purpose is close. Pave your own roads. Hard knocks come easy, easily gone. Deals with what appeals. Go with the flow. Challenge to catch, trophy of the match. Pill for the mind field. Happiness yields.

017Crows

(Verse 1) In the city of Crows, where the shadows and dreams intertwine, Skyscrapers whisper tales, in the mist they confide. A canvas painted with glamour and grit, in every line, Where hope dances with despair, side by side. Raised in the alleys where music and dreams converge, A mosaic of sounds, cultures vibrant and diverse. In Crows, the symphony of life subtly emerges, A tale of…

Haunted

Explore the depths of lyricism with haunting rap verses, reflecting struggle, pride, and resilience. Dive into a poetic journey of music and words

Haunted by the slough of momentum, buck absent, track sorrow-laden, Demerit traces my steps, a dance with defect, act forsaken. Tears of sorrow drown the flow, pouring death’s encore, Insult meets fault, folding down, on this stage of poor. On the edge of shortage, cockles rise, deficiency badges me, Blemish serves the dish, leashed by the short, can’t you see? In a ditch of disadvantage, where…

"Quid Pro Quo" (edited)

Torn pans, halls' echo, lingering gazes, Dreams architect, reality's tangled mazes. Time's grasp elusive, patience worn through phases, Trust's fragile bridge, hope's distant blazes. Moonlit bullets pierce, hope's weary course, Perspective's path, money's fleeting force. Seekers in realms beyond, a hunter's remorse, Unquenched needs, life's intricate source. Deeper than search, the human…

Reality's Cypher

Hate birthin' wreckage, open your vision, All got a reason, in this life's mission. Broad-minded stance, break free from the prison, Gather the rates double, with precision. Front to the back, ain't no backtrackin', Perfecting the set, fear is lackin'. Side to side, we ideate, Love or new delights, we navigate. No doubts residing, we grounded in the South, Enemies lurking, but we spit the truth…

Bury the hatchet

Through a concrete jungleRave and wave machete. I don’t rock, don’t wobble, chance appears I’ll snatch it. I am after batches. My lyrics spray ratchet. Decorations badges. Can’t bury the hatchet.Can step on, Won’t back off.Bust a hummer assault. Would be a common fault.Rapper set to defaultDrops them flat to asphalt. Lyrics hitting dome, skull. Do backward somersault Like pancakes with…

Back in the wild, the essence pure, we roam,Nature’s gifts align, satisfaction known,Braving storms, finding strength in the unknown,Our roots deep, where civilization’s shadows are shown.Fresh air fills lungs, timid outlook erased,Civilization’s greed, narrow loot misplaced,We cease wants, in forests, bounds embraced,Relaxation found, in nature’s peaceful space.Invention falls short, no easy…

Blades of Justice

Caught between dual fires, seeking vengeance and forgiveness. #BladesOfJustice #DualFires #HipHopTruths

Clever tricks in the mix, my tolerance builds,Ride the sin’s lead, love still spills.You ain’t broke, just grime-stained,Want a Coke? Better find it unattained.Shoot up the nose with a pure dose,“Kingdom’s close,” ’cause my hell arose.Stuck between two fires, flames kiss,Chasing bucks and desires amiss.Test and temptations in the breeze,Frozen by fear, clever teases.Hanging cheese on a stick,…

City Of Crows: Voices of the Curse

Navigating the 'City of Crow,' where darkness reigns and every rhyme reveals deeper truths.

Love colder than black snow,Life packed in a folder: "City of Crow," where dreams fold,And reality’s shadows grow.Riding on a masterplan, stripped mind, Promised land vibes, too elusive to find.Spirits arose, but the caskets close, No smell of roses, just walls enclosing woes.Settled with infinite judgment, Change won't come if I battle it, nor clear attachment.There's no end to the bad, no…

Tears on Asphalt

When it rains, it pours, the asphalt wearsTears lay thick, life vapor in hot airChromed out shadows, where dreams despairLife’s foggy haze, a silent prayerReason for the fog on the block,Smog's breath, smoke from the Glock.My life’s essence turned to vapor,Choking on fumes, no escape later.Hate sweeps clean like a deadly broom,Destined route, where death finds room.My humanity tethered to war's…

Out of ice, out of Pluton's cave,Into paradise, where souls are saved.On this path, no longer enslaved,Through fire and frost, I brave the grave.Wide roads stunnin', peak of greed under snow,In God's presence, I'm nothing but a shadow.Mistakes scorched by the Earth's core below,Threats for turned backs, law responds with a blow.Hell pays for orders disobeyed,Hell's thorns for attempts to…
