lyrics

eKZ

I'm dope enough to blow ya brains out without a gun,
and slick enough to spit this slang out without a tongue,
make the kinda songs that could detonate a dud,
with no igniter though,
just a mic and a flow to enlighten souls...

breathing life into the lungs of the dead,
lazarus effect,
but now I have a price on my head,
cause I uncovered what the devils wanted hidden-
ignorance is long gone, bid the pain good riddance,
spacecraft seated, while my hands click switches,
taking off, breaking off from these humanoid limits
I am not what you want,
but I'm what you niggas need,
I sling hard shit that brings a giant to his knees,
suffocate the industry it's hard for them to breathe,
raising up the temperature and make em sweat from the degrees,
fear is what I leave in the men from the valley of the thieves,
take dreams, creating reality from make believe,
they said I wouldn't achieve or make it at all...
I should leave and stand for a more plausible cause,
but when E hits the top and claims a spot on the charts,
all the boo's will transform into round of applause,

Kweku

They always saying “hey, listen it’s your time to rise”
But that’s stressful, so I’m striving for a 9 to 5
An upper level office, edicts all anonym cries
Whether they see or not, my lines are to incite the blind
When they’re like me, a skinny nigger all up in the school
Who got it all, but he’s trying hard as fuck to be cool
Got a couple phases here, folded cuffs and the jewels
Until it’s phasing in the ears and then he cuts for a view and says {STOP}

I’m twenty years old, had enough now I’m passed doubt
Carte blanche my black card to the bank, bounce
Country grammar slang, hold my dick got my pants down
Screaming I don’t give a shit, a fist with my hand out
Sit just to stand out? I sit cuz I am proud
To be myself and I don’t need my lips to command shouts
Simple advanced styles ripple the land tiles
Elliptical dismissal of these signals to stamp down
My sole is the pendulum with every swing
Deafening a roar to the souls under Earth just to let them in
To let them in you know is not to open the door but of course
To place a dipole that they’ll open it for
And make the cycle go forth, you’ll never stifle the force
When they leave their carbon and slip into a nitrogen form
When being idle is foreign, we leave the idols informed
That it’s time to ford the moat, destroy it lighting our ports

John

I black out, then I punch in; still ain't put enough in
to conceal the fact that my skrilla's equivalent to nothing
Tell shorty let's get it cracking and put my nuts in
Bitch I'm busting, know it's indica that I'm puffing
Shed light on Slumville, where they slang the guns still
Toe tag 20 niggas, and then count it as one kill
You can wait around to sign to that one deal
I'm building an empire, my dynasty's unreal...son chill
