Manic! Streets are fleeting streaming running rampant Folks is ransacking in the frenzy of the frantic Day of the plague, everyone’s making waves I just wanna make amends before this whole thing blows away It’s safe to say that we missed an understanding A product of insanity in a city that’s vanished Nomadic, fuck it, it’s the moon upon I’m landing And I would kiss the sun just to shake apart the planets I’m stocking on provisions, into hiding how I’m living I don’t understand this world and all of it’s indecisions You won’t have me believe that this ain’t a coincidence Like you really think I’d make it out without an incident? I can’t tell if I’m coping, or if I’m over it The shoulders that I'm holding have gone to show me colder days And people probably won’t see this as a problem It's all about knowing how to spot 'em when you got 'em And so I roam, all these options are my own I’m going rouge getting overlords overthrown I used to barely move, my roots were overgrown So stubborn to the core, roll with a slower tone Going broke, I'm-a make some moves up out this door The thrill of chase always had me wanting more I’m putting in my hours while you were shopping stores I made a soundtrack for this life I adore I pledge allegiance to the rhythm, all it’s got to give and then I’m running up a fever on this mic, I'm fucking killing it I got some lyrics, something you can go and tell them kids and then Pass it down the line and let 'em know how we’re living in Let them know how we lived under this cruelty Navigating through an ugly world, but do it beautifully It’s nothing new to me, and soon you’ll see That things don’t really end up like they do in the movies I don’t have the time for the drama or the foolery Only wanna bless you with gems and some jewelry Move smoothly, and soon you'll see That at the end it’ll either be you or me

There ain’t no telling which way it’s gonna go The okie-doke was straight playing with my vertigo I know you heard it though, real time stereo For what you barely know, it all starts to show You gotta call it out for what it really is When I get a hit of the spirit, life is infinite Gas for the engine keeping everything spinning We stay winning, you knew that from the beginning A thirty-something, gotta keep the belly stuffed And it better be some heat if it’s coming outta the oven That ill shit, day one I’ve been with it Why would you question that? Man, I've always been committed A miracle man going through this again Close your eyes shut and see biblical lands It’s all spiritual, that’s the god in you Bring it live and true, that’s the motherfucking ritual Move with purpose, through life like you deserve it I can feel your rage and I see that you’re hurting Some seem to thrive under the spot lights While others hate from their spot on the sidelines Like dust in the wind, brick in the wall, et cetera Drifting ass passer-by studying competitors Who you thought were your peers, are now ahead of ya Wallowing in pity will not make it any better If you’re doing it right, you feel it in the physical And that’s the feeling of the spirit getting into you Holy ghost, or maybe more like holy smokes Life comes at you fast, and it’s all that she wrote A half hearted pardon for the bars that been slaughtered I'm bombing 'em dynamite JJ Jimmy Walker Flows flawless and awesome from what we thought of If you’re looking for the jam, hit me up you know I got em

It had me at a loss, I lacked words Had me thinking I was dreaming this up backwards Now it’s established we elaborate with the lavish And back at it, multiply like mathematics It spread panic, when we landed on the planet Examined, diagnosed sicker than your average Survival tactics, yeah we have them mastered And we stand tall with the stature of a natural Had to adapt, blend in like bad actors Incognito, it’s us they’re going after Like look at me, extra limbs and bone and skin Every bit is just a part of the Artisan They called us in, a motley crew of cruel mutants Got more skill than we know what to do with You tried to takeover, efforts were too slim The plot grew thin, it all proved translucent It’s why we’re the coolest, sick with the smoothness Nobody ever had to teach me to do this You foolish, standing there looking clueless if i were you, I'd rollout like i was Ludacris Space invaders, feel the wrath of the soul snatch Running all up on you like. yo let me hold that I see you coming with your plan of attach So bring the madness in and we’ll bring it right back I slap a high five with the hands of time Like, let me bum a ride I’ll carry on with my lifestyle Take me to a zone, out down by the twilight Seen as symbolism as the squint of your eye sight

You better watch that team comprised of ghouls and hobgoblins Ready to attack on anyone who tries to stop em We modern prophets who often drop the knowledge Sulking and leaking into the veins of your subconscious It's never planned, we do it organic From now until the day our souls vanish Get replenished by the substance of a message it’s how we get dead minds resurrected Rhymes perfected, every beat's got a death wish After we’re through, no leftovers for your breakfast Better find your truth and be ready to accept it It may not always be something you expected There's no need for alarm, when we take on different forms I forgot was I was going, cos I been here all along Sitting beside peace in the middle of a storm As the fog lingered on til the golden hour after dawn Set your clocks and start bracing for the breakdown It’s to make sure everybody is awake now Set the tone and make sure there's no mistake how We keep on lurking on the dot of every hour I’m catching ill vibes on this very midnight My thoughts escaped me, lit up the whole grim sky My aura’s sort of an aurora borealis, I sort em out in order as I map the astral atlas Chips will still fall no matter how you’re stacking em Just as long as you are not losing or subtracting em It's never about the platinum or even rings of Saturn We're too busy grinding cos we felt it truly mattered They heard along the grape vine They already heard about us across various state lines The name carries weight so you better learn to say mine Couldn’t bear the workload so they fell off by the wayside If you can stay calm, everything will be fine I’m not even worried bout the tingle in my spine It’s just a matter of time, stars all will align It's the Space Cadet signing out, I'll see you on the other side
