chasing out ambitions still hungry malnutritioned I just want more I just want more. opportunities to please those who inspire me. I just want more I just want more. well of course we all want it we all busy chasin'. what a shame all the talent that you wastin. ya compass laid on the ground, mine remains sound. weighed down by the confidence i carry around. but you know. business move slow if you move slow. by the time you active im already on lap four. finish line chillin with a raw paper packed full. what you know about building. you know what it is. building blocks stacked in the crib i don't kid. metaphorical wits witness words do backflips speaking in code to my accomplices if you understand then we down. circle of trust find your way in or out. we carry on with or without a doubt. bad time you pickin to be red nose clowned. this that grinding sound. the noise thats heard when hammers are banging about. words spout out my mouth with precision and aim. came to claim the stake for my own sake. new slate. no sleeves if its sunny with a breeze. climbin' up trees? yes please. if its night time and my work's been done. then im down to go up and relax for a minute my man. kickin like its july, you ask how I ask why the hell not tell me where and when. you talkin a series of transactions. only defining yourself by your past actions you has been we make what happens happen con template straight passion. sitting on the couch beat blasting. pen and pad artillery shootin life in action reload cashed in.

grew up in the dungeon january 2010 surrounded by walls of cement. pickin apart words and plant variety preeminent idea of a society speak in a tongue for fellows like me who feel we have the potential to be something greater. i've had my ears perked, listening y'all can talk but i guarantee your jealousy is missin' me. none of this feels contrived. my associates and i thrive off vibe we simply just create what we need. movin' at a different kind of speed. homies tag along if they down with the language we speak. architect code, non-stop hammer mode. We been placing down brick by brick. From the sketching of original concepts We try our best to keep the pace that we work at constant. this is me. who are you? define yourself by your actions, keep true. all real all day homie what's good. all real all day. from the drawing board, to the basement floor, to the last step placed to the roof. try and keep it: all real all day homie what's good. all real all day. postin' up flyers to events we been plannin'. pride in the fact that there's been nothin' handed. dawg i'm tryin' to make moves for this year, this month this week things don't just appear. writing and erasing, problems need facing. never again will i turn face and dip. Learned from mistakes of myself and others i adopted a life style of helping one another. H times H times H. Never miss the third or you talkin' of a phrase which we hate. don't succumb to the bums who stay lazy. diligence is key when you tryin' to build for real. what you think we playin' with blocks? we runnin on a clock, ambition's been overstocked. i will not allow a novice to be squarin' me out. Homies know that the cubed we about. this is me. who are you? define yourself by your actions, keep true. all real all day homie what's good. all real all day. from the drawing board, to the basement floor, to the last step placed to the roof. try and keep it: all real all day homie what's good. all real all day.

Emergent united? You question it but I am Sent to rescue up The precious pups amongst the sirens Plus the pie is Giant enough to press the guy to supply us some precious slices I feel unless I write this Then why should I party for  Priceless shit/ most guys forget Smoke rises from the broken pipers lips Sorry sirrrr For talking about this type of shit Triumphant trumpet ripening   Every time we discuss justifying the price of men So hush is what they tell me  Plus the musket carried is collecting dust Telling me to trust that of which is scary Amongst the puppets buried And the pumpkins and the punk kids uppin my staircase erupt into a staring contest They try to explain Yeah I'm aware it's complex Pardon my brain The rarest nonsensical content  Ever seen. Quit it with the acting Like you was ever sane cuz you ain't  since the sun got stronger, and days got long. the grind always on our mind. always on our mind. it's the push and the pull. pushin' out projects. pullin' out fools. since the sun got stronger, and days got long. the grind always on our mind. always on our mind. it's the push and the pull. pushin' out projects. pullin' out fools. there are few things i hate more than being ignored i'm tryin' to get busy y'all busy stayin' silent. y'all talk a lot of game but leave the dice on the floor we put it all on the line, true success is priceless. template's a fake and you follow it too close. atomic logic all day, doin' things y'all won't. you bisquick kid flippin sides like pancakes. disregard your child's play, movin' at a man's pace. listen i been out chasin' my dreams. through cultivation my motivations out of your reach. do what you say, only say what you mean. make yourself into something that is worth being seen. green habits, recycled bottles trees wrapped in plastic, trippin' life fantastic.

Wiser Now 03:51
inspired in an instant. lookin' over my blueprint. tryin' to configure the best way to build. empires being established. i want the slightly lavish. that's why i'm doin' more than flashin' lyrical skills. what you know about a circle of trust. ya compass lookin' old dawg covered in rust i must continue to ride out dips. and come back up better than ever i rip right through the fuss. most cats lookin' like it's amateur hour. sloppy joes are my foes and so i devour. crack open a brew with the bear claw not to be confused with the sandy fools who do nothin'. understand we run past the rat race. cards been dealt and i'm seein' the kings face. rhyme ace. verbal lessons. con edison. einstein mind. inclined to shine fluorescent. straight chillin with tecca and mariah h cubed not squared to the damn wire. represent those who tryin make they own. put their fingers up to the rain, and created the storm. come through like a rip tide. rip apart silly fools with sick lines. fish line, takin' the bait. you bitin' dawg. but maintain the hate. tell me what's really the question? other fools horsin' around equestrian. bigger things in mind than these pedestrians wanna see true dedication? never take a damn vacation. bring ya work ethic to a new elevation. drop the needle and thread enough fabrication. rep the organization, architects stand tall behind their creations. life in quotations. i ain't tell no lie. used to be troof da wise. but i'm wiser now. and only growing wiser still. only growing wiser still. i ain't tell no lie used to be troof da wise but i'm wiser now. and only growing wiser still. only growing wiser still. discussing a development over broccoli zob conditioned board room, unprofessional fumes. our status is building season. i'm tryin' to give my colleagues some music we can all believe in. faith, trust. building a circle. jammin' out to vinyls from the days of deep purple. otis redding and hendrix my rhyme appendix goes hard like led up inside the sinking zeppelin summer beaters in faded black don't do the letter H in two, only in triple stacks. my bat never under-packed. kickin' relaxed. positive state of mind in tact. in fact, i ain't never been better. comin' up out the ground them mole rats stay down, especially in bad weather. but i continue to climb. living example of the desire to grind I'm a hard worker, y'all are hardly workin' on my come up, y'all just lurkin behind. writings of an architect's mind build every day or you wasting your time brushes and picks all on the floor i unwind. the core four and more we on nothing but the rise. speak in a language for those with drive. hammer folk who build overnight. i ain't tell no lie. used to be troof da wise. but i'm wiser now. and only growing wiser still. only growing wiser still. i ain't tell no lie used to be troof da wise but i'm wiser now. and only growing wiser still. only growing wiser still.
