as long as I'm before the faces and the voices
I refuse to make poor choices
cuz I don't aim to create worlds of hatred outta shapeless voids
I speak in tongues, they be making noise
tobi saw the potential n said "praise the Lord"
Thiago Frazier came to disrupt your service, get -
brushed off like the dust from a fifth of your verses, this -
wasn't my purpose, kids
I'm just nervous plus a ton more humble in person
uhuh
working the system with the utmost integrity
below the surface we above reproach so you'll never see us lurking round the borders like warmongers
my forefathers hopped out the boat of Zebedee
listen
this not a hobby it's a vocation
like separation of church and state, a rogue nation
where we plan our mission: never choose to sell you lies
tune in, this revolution will be televised

Lately I been boxing demons, increased feelings of being a heathen treating my soul right I can’t believe it
Love a topic that got my teeth seething, I feel the love don’t worry I see it
The voice behind me telling me to seek it so I proceed the need to achieve the peace so my face don’t seem sleepless
It’s a bad feeling when you feel like you bleeding and feel the humanity leaving
And withering away like bad ingredients
The tears of my burdens seeping and my demons love sleeping in
Old round brown table what I feed em in
Have I been gone too long? Summers gone and it seems my Hope is gone, along with the wind and a wish
I had the confidence made for a great artist with many things to give.

[KOLLECTOR TZU.]
self love is the best love i need it too, my bitch gon keep it 100 for me because she the truth, tunnel vision on the movement how a leader do, piss on kelly grave because i miss Aliyah too, couple bitches in the whip suck my dick drinking rita juice
reasons to keep moving in this lost world i need it to, not alone my brother keep faith Rest In Peace yo mother, greedy mothapucka bout my green and ion fuck with suckers
don’t believe in therapy need myself to hug, not from the Middle East but i wanna self destruct, for the higher power principles i keep it tucked, we was locked in making magic because we was stuck, we was fucked
we was damned, brains all on the aisle, in the mirror is my rival, keeping me all from survival, red water on the tile, like walter in denial, niggas quick to bust a front but they will never crack a smile, ima take em out in style niggas riding in the whip
Lil B the Basedgod cuz im rhyming like a bitch, slatt shit like thugger getting slimey on ya chick, skir skir bitch im loaded with some diamonds on my wrist
say it kindly offa spliff, cup of vodka couple Xans to spare, keep living life i understand it isn’t fair, u wanna be dead but understand ur body isn’t there, ima go back watching Jesse in a crystal lair
[tobi.]
Ayo.
I’ve had my bad luck and my fair days, I fucked up some love but I can’t complain. The 808s had me on lockdown - a heartbreak, strained but straight muhfucka im a locked case. past my gazing days, I walked past ya grave and piss on it I got it paid. I said I’d changed I’m still the same it’s a shame, but I got it out the way. And you should be amazed at the bigger picture, I was made for this muhfucka read the scriptures. Since I touched a pen I knew I made lips quiver, and make hands shiver, no wonder I’m so bitter UGH, I write better rhymes than you will in ya life my best advice is tell you to sleep in. Even in ya dreams you won’t reach my genius, called her and said “Baby I’m Bleeding,” my products is Grim bitch I do the Reaping, my mind not around he outta season, I got something to rap about, life will beat ya more than 12 rounds and add you to its body count, I’m bound 2 get lost in some crowds and stare at the voices that keep gettin loud. In the midst I see the shroud of a frown, you can see on top of my head there’s a falling crown, there ain’t no fight I’ve lost, till this day I still beat the clock, like MC Ride muhfucka you Get Got, roll a spliff that’s the best part you think you’d get a Trademark but you get popped. The cracker should know his place before he get rocked, Like Gus im not the one you should double cross, or suffer like a crooked picture ya get cropped, yugh.

[verse 1]
Uh, listen
I wrote three records on my own,
Ain’t touch a blunt but I’m in a zone
Sit in my throne now look what I’ve grown
Just the other day I laid close to the rose
And I watched some gold grow
Told my Ma I ain’t a kid anymore, sicker than ya average don’t compare me to those
And I’m close to knowing it all
I’m YEEZY on Last Call shit too easy I might become God.
Spitting too much I ain’t get a twitch from my jaw
Wild cards, Ain’t been lost in a bit but I found the coin to toss
I reached beyond so I get under they armor
I’m the one they harmed so they watching out for Karma
Uh, designed for success even Rick Ross would say I did it best
Was stuck in a trench till I beat the test but I still face death,
Im the man guess you should put a S on my chest
Wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Hope, So I’m out here killing these tropes
A villain to you but a hero to her,
Look at my scars muhfucka they don’t hurt
Felt a lil burn so I turned these bars into Hell
Muhfucka I excelled and prevailed,
Fuck with me I leave ya hanging wit ya entrails
No I ain’t the Creator but I made it hail.
[verse 2]
Uh, uh, uh.
Been a month since I wrote the last verse, murdered rappers they running off in a hearse
Better run before y’all catch this curse
I don’t fuck with the saints but I’d take ya to church
Confident off my diction, too focused on bread got no time for addictions
Danny tryna eat so he staying in the kitchen, I’ve been on my own living
A paradox of contradictions,
walking without the feeling of tripping, I’ve been swimmin with fishes and flying past the ditches
Sinning with women the feeling is minuscule
my iris is tinted no bullshit getting past me not even one percentage - I ain’t a fool
I was taking a break from the chemicals
Ima keep going while my time isn’t due
Been cruising through the woods fast it even burn my shoes
Murder psychics and liars, when I speak even titans is frightened
Time is tightened I know I showed y’all who’s the bigger Giant - I’m gone.
[interlude]
Had to show these muhfuckas who’s best, I’m always shittalking, I owe it all to one man tho. Praise the KOLLECTOR.
[verse 3]
Had to dumb it down a bit
Getting a lil cocky even my girl getting tired of it
But it’s amazing, I used to dream of making bodies of art this is history I made it
this is what I represent, colors from Darkest Elements
I’m glad I’ve survived my attempt
no longer the little boy living under a tent
I’ve envisioned what’s to happen next I’m just waiting on the check
hoping everyone makes it up from under
That goes for Tzu, the Kid, OC and the Author
To everyone who made me a soldier I hope y’all make it broader
This goes for the mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters
Hoping you kill every burden you crossing
Hold onto those woes don’t hold ‘em up for auction
Road get tougher it ain’t ever stopping
No more nights of turning and tossing recollect your thoughts and look back at the process
Used to be a target
but now the hard ice has thawed and your life just barely started
This is for Austin who smiling from the grave,
The man I’ve betrayed but those sins are paid
And I put my fist up for everyone in chains,
hold onto the rope cus Hope showed that times will change and
Don’t pull the trigger of the gun my son I hope you know that there exists some love
Times is tough but there’ll be a moment where enough is enough
Remember the 16 of December where my life changed forever but what’s next?
that didn’t change the depths of the hole that inhabits this rabbit,
Wait for me and the Kid to show you what happens, till next time
Tap in.
