+ I made this for the eager, the weary, for the believer, for the dreamer, the future leader, the living, the ones beneath us, the thinker, the needy, for an album with meaning, for the people without a means to an end in a system seeking, for the mornings stressed out, for the underpaid maxed out, for the underdog, the single mom, the guy on the couch, for the family who's lights are out, for the supporters, for the people who's minds are in doubt, for the down and out, for the ones who got offered out, for the ones who want encores to find out what I'm talking about, for the people living with regret for the people dieing with it, for the people trying to get by in these hard times we live in. This is for you.

+ Drifting deeper into sleep my heart-rate desert heat I travel endlessly and havent found a feeling more complete.

+ Im outta sight like satellite to broad-daylight Im taking flight, I keep my head in spacious skies I hate these lies; fabricated and televised like reality television shows america's better side.

+ These are the days for making memories cant take em away. Hey, you got the bucket? Well I got the J, lets talk about our stresses and puff em away.

+ Hey everybody lets sing a song I got a funny dance called the crooked politician, first you gotta raise up the long arm of the law, strangle people by the neck to keep em under control, sway to the left and sway to the right pat yourself on the back and pull out the knife, then you walk like a zombie so everyone knows, thats exactly how the dead man votes.

+ Ever since my eyes were open nothings the same, every generation needs a fall guy to blame. People talk about me, give a fuck what they say, I just brush it off my shoulder and go on with my day.

+ Dont listen to that edited, arrogant, repetitive, sedetive, dulling your senses for corporate benefit they be sending negative messages leaving deep impressions in kids heads so easy it almost seems effortless.

+ This guy tried to kill me, the neighbourhood bully Bobby Silverton, he wanted to invest into my record so I let him in. I didnt really know the consequences of my actions then once he had me in his pocket thats when the shit began. Be careful who you pick for friends cuz some men have bad intentions and this particular situation almost left me debted man.  What started as a business venture turned into a life of sin, indulging in his medicine he only played the game to win.  One night after getting faded in Seattle cops began to pull us over, Bobby tried to put a gun into my hand I let it fall between the seat, he's crazy thinking I'll touch his heat.  I wouldnt take his felony so now he wants to murder me.

+ When the news hits, its like who's this they're gonna show us this time, to distract us from the truth as it passes us by. Our kids will be asking us why we didnt care enough to try a little bit harder for the future that we're leaving behind. Dont know how to reply? Well I know, tell em "Shh Im watching American Idol".

+ Im a virus in your Friendster on a pentium 3 thats why chat room chicks dont dig guys like me.  Im at art parties head-bangin Judas Priest, uber-art-star girls want me out of this piece.  I never made the team but when I did I rode the bench, go up to your house just to practice my french, je'mappelle Sleep kelis pour merci, thats why foreign speaking women dont like guys like me.  Come up to your chest if your 6'ft 3" tall girls like that dont like guys like me.  She thinks its so 90's to be an MC, hipster girls like her dont get guys like me. "Oh, you're a rapper? Your not on MTV", teenage girls dont like guys like me.  When its time to pay for dinner I slip out like the breeze thats why guido chicks dont like pricks like me. "Oh you get to travel around the world for free?" now girls like her like guys like me.

+ Im gone no longer my eyes to guide you from the blind path disguised know who you are and that I'll get you by when life tests you. Inside of you theres a light and I'll continue to fight to make sure it shines bright.  Your eyes are my eyes my time is your time your smile theres my pride my love for you divine by my side you reside and you will find you're never alone remember I'm with you at all times.

+ Its frightening what the bearing hands of tomorrow just might bring, you can close your eyes and follow their disguised themes, sweeping the lies under the carpet thats why we write these lyrics wisely, we fight until the death of this, callas evil that we walk upon so delicate.  Wicked people rise to power thru their hellishness, they embellish in their ornament, top dollar dress, attire pricey flash, to cover what they do or who they really are dont know but they've been learning you thru controlled experiments they know just what to do expose you to the elements it took this long to brew only a chosen few really knew its secret is and all your teachers and your parents dont believe in this but I will to know the truth that sees their foolishness pulling the wool over the eyes of all the sheepish kids dont know how deep it gets deep regrets.

+ The pen never pretended only wrote what my heart said indented to count bars in my sentences. God left this gift Im gonna spend it sending a positive message ending my negative perspective Im never forgetting never losing my answers never accepting less than I deserve again ever, today I feel alive today I got it together yesterday I tried I just couldnt make it feel any better tomorrow I'll try harder to make it last forever and do everything I can to not let it slip thru my fingers.

+ Everything I love is in the middle of nowhere and its just too much for me to pack up and go there and its not like I dont care but i cant afford the airfare to pay for my families healthcare gotta move away from the homeless addicts downstairs, Im outta here.

+ How many walls do I have to climb to find my peace of mind, I keep on leaving pieces of me behind, keeping me blinded, binded by night, forged by light to shuffle my tongue to the blade of a knife. 

+ This is so perplexing, interesting, the lining of the nesting, the in-betweens, the infinite shades of green.  Something you might not understand, why I would sacrifice my life for this mic in my hand its my sanity man, I couldnt handle it I'd crack without my raps and my beats to match believe that.  This is therapy helping me energy moving throughout me how we deal with our problems we solve em thru authoring novels, reach nautical speed, profit thru speech, no, Id rather profit thru the prophet in me.

+ Kids dont get the music anymore they got the design of it wrong, the timings gone, its sci-fi with a pipe and a bong, bang bang shoot-em-up rap took another life its gone. Wrong isnt it no ones omnipotent Im not different Im not special cuz Im a lyricist. Thats why I scribble these words and calligraphitti to remind me the community sees and the cities breathing the part of its heart beating my art leaving the mark stampeding cold as the dark season now you repeat it.

+ Keep that repetitive mind-sedetive out of the mix let it get no attention its bullshit. When the best MC's in the game are making minimum wage theres something wrong with the music today. If the money and the road to fame are the only thing that motivate dont wanna know your name, and if a station wont give me play or pay attention to my record well thats ok, they just dont get it, Ima still be on my way to the finish Ima say what I have to say.  This is an infinite love in its purest form its not the norm but its all I know and so it goes, and speaking from the heart tore my life apart to bleed for you I just thought you should know.

+ Gimmie the weed gimmie the weed Im a bud head, well at least thats what my mom said, and all my teachers and my neighbours and my unc(le) said, and my urine tester and then my lungs said. But fuck it im still productive and still love it and contrary to popular belief my brain still functions.  I've been smoking cannabis since I remember but I dont remember shit so I guess I've been lit forever.

+ I used to wish for selfish things, dream of silly dreams; money cars clothes and digging out pretty things. Since then I've been thru strife now I just wish I could get it right wish I tried harder to get back my life.  Wish I could speak the words in the back of my mind, I wish I wasnt such a fuckin asshole at times, but wishes compete I hear they're only a penny, wish I could afford to wish my heart's heavy.  Wish I didnt lose Sleep from anxiety, wish I wasnt a social outcast of society, wish the world could know peace for one day, I wish all the bad souls would just go away.  But wishing does nothing its action that makes a difference, Im sure rubbing on a magic lantern has its benefits, but I fail to see them and sail on reason and sell my seeds on CD's and you repeat them. Some dream, some people make their dreams come true, which one are you?

+ Looking for my future I came across my past it told me I could forget it but never could take it back. Like I wanted to anyway, I proceeded to say, Im sick of your conversation and the rest of my day to day.  It started getting angry, claiming it made me threaten to take away everything that I love lately. Its like a horror flick im running full speed and its catching up to me quick. It already hurt my friends and family been damaging tens of thousands of brain cells to battle me now how do I battle it off its babbling nonsense.  Constantly taunted my art was all that could stop it from hitting the target, I asked it to go away quick it replied that it would if I would take the time to embrace it. I started thinking about what it was saying until I learned to live with it I couldnt invite the changes.  So much time wasted erasing these tracks I couldnt see my future was the same as my past.
