[Quid] Extra! Extra! Read all about it Eyes and ears open let's see how it's sounding Feet to the pavement weaving the crowds it Turns my stomach but it keeps me astounded Evens me out helps me to be grounded Keeps me in line whatever seeps from my mouth is Feelings in route what I've been dreaming about Reaching around to completely allow Freedom to slouch or the freedom to be Free with the sound I release when I see Fit and if it sticks when it's flipped I guess it had a point maybe never had a choice To point me in an exit's direction's a blind walk I've been plagued with blurred images of slanted sidewalks Internal mischief grows while the old line's crossed Let's all take a walk how much does your time cost [Aric & Quid] Pilgrim fanatics get adequate sleep In the night it was reached so we had to breach And casually step away from the norm Something formed a new idea so what will yours be Upside down and inside out We exist and resist hidden in the treasured land Now let's see a set of hands how many people treasure that Reaching for the chance to achieve what many can't [Aric] Philosophers beware instruments of tomorrow Here today it's an earful spray It's madness enjoyment it's laughter it's violence We got it all covered up with out of town enlightenment Hopeless scope this the Welfare stealers scream: “Please keep giving me my life for free!” The work we did was a misled dream A nightmare horror flick Miami chicks show our developments The American way that's how it is You're not with it you can run but you can't hide We're sending our loved ones for a one-way ride Our lives given up just for one old man He snorts coke he jumps rope he sold his soul for one vote Don't deny his power though you might think him a joke Who said money doesn't make a man I pledge allegiance to my corrupt nation's flag [Quid & Aric] Let's face the fact there's facts to face Try to move forward since we can't erase It's written in stone we forgot the place Let's open our minds it's a simple race But we're in a maze a labyrinth-like cage Trying to find our way to the rays of a brand new day But the rain blew in we're immersed in dark Maybe we should have dug up Noah's Ark

So funny I forgot to laugh funny that your Promised Land Was never promised in the first place seems you’ve forgotten that Ain’t it funny it ain’t funny still somehow you laugh With a chorus of clowns in the background practicing how to act Like an asshole assumption theory but who’s assuming I’m just using my own two eyes to zoom in on your shoes then Question how you fit ‘em like who the fuck is this Has there been some type of mistake ‘cause I don’t recognize this kid To be continued follow the yellow bricks Figure a destination first and then set a quest for it Jesus Christ I need to write so I’m hoping to see some light And as of recent all I seem to see is deceitful lies But I let it pass no questions asked instead I’ll wrap this set of facts In a special rap said for all of those who treasure maps Better grasp it tightly you better ask me nicely If you want it spelled out for you like letters attached to hyphens C-I V-I double L A-R T-I S-T-S yes your steps stay behind Just a few when coming through but rewind You think you’re on cloud nine your falling slightly short of knee-high Where you get off with an ego come off it like peep holes Grow the fuck up and then toss in a Heave-Ho It takes work whether or not you want it that way This planet’s not a person so stop trying to say it’s against you Listen up it really don’t give a fuck It’s incapable of doing so now it’s all up to you I hope And suggest you pick yourself up and stop being ignorant There’s a fucking problem here and it’s not just an opinion It’s the truth whether or not you choose to believe it It’s not gonna change so either use it or leave it It beats shooting the breeze with the man in the mirror Or conversing with shadow puppets with hands-on experience What’s sad is I’m serious face the facts and try carrying Yourself out of the mess you made and travel aware that This is not how it’s supposed to be I’m not allowing hope to be Openly corroded or eroding the flow of these So-called songs that put a pause on emotion Hold all calls and fight the cause with an open Mind and don’t forget to open your heart it’s only the start But don’t forget that you know who you are Sometimes our butterflies get swallowed by the frogs in our throats Call it exaggerated bullshit but I’m calling this hope Open your hearts so I could drop down a word You think you know who you are must have forgot who you were Thought you knew who you were must have forgot who you are Don’t let yourself forget it this is all that we are All that we have and what we have is all this Just promise me that you won’t ever forget Sometimes our butterflies get swallowed by the frogs in our throats Call it exaggerated bullshit but I’m calling this hope Open your hearts so I could drop down a word You think you know who you are must have forgot who you were Thought you knew who you were must have forgot who you are Don’t let yourself forget it this is all that we are All that we have and what we have is all this Just promise me this is something you’ll never forget

From where I’m at I see a lot of displayed egos And see-thru styles when kicking it convey weak souls (soles) Please don’t continue until you kitten crooks Stop spitting your written hooks in ciphers and get a little push Ignite a fire spark a creative mind state Pass your children’s book mentality at a divine rate Define great when you come up with your answer Share it I’m curious as to what it is you captured Nothing but disaster we’re under an attack first They pucker lips toward grandeur end up fucking it like plans turn Stomachs but their backs first nothing is like that hurt Must be something in the air that keeps us from coming back turn The record most you mother-fuckers won’t even catch this Hand-eye coordination is vacant tracing a sketch that isn’t yours Check your methods they’re a little skewered To you they have no problems but you can’t reach the top Until you move up from the bottom… Once upon a time not long ago When Hip-Hop was Hip-Hop and not a Broadway show When emcees had something to say and would always flow That’s what caught my attention I call that home Home on the microphone chose to recite this flow Open I’m exposing a hopeless indicted soul And most who’re invited won’t even show for the show To each their own ease in slow and peep the theme it goes One two three and to the four Quid grips the microphone speaking from the source For the feeble-minded whores feasting on my words Half won’t even know what I’m speaking of I’m sure So I’m leaving this here door open dreaming on the porch hoping Someone’ll get what I’m saying and treat these little Ork Spokesmen Telling me what I mean or my metaphors are broken So let me just say instead of Charades let’s drop the games and focus So it would appear to be that time again Shine the light find a pen deny an end and write a gem Don’t stop try to blend always wipe the lens Get a good long look at life ask why it’s spent Pretending or living like it’s ending Beginning at the center of whatever keeps us empty Or low it’s letting us go we’re letting it mold Into something it should have never been so can you feel it Can you feel it Can you feel it nothing can save ya Fuck catching the vapors catch the message I made ya Pick up your pencils and paper let’s get creative It smells like it’s time for a change let’s fence in that fragrance Smells like it’s time for some changes So let’s all fence in that fragrance

Some keep their heads in the clouds And never amount to anything I strive to stay level with ground Measuring out everything I come across Nothing’s lost so far so far I’ve seen my share Of scenes to share with people dare I say Scared to say what’s on their mind all the time There’s got to be times when it all seems fine There’s times we yell and we shout and times for mellowing out A time for telling about the times we revel in doubt A time to shed our skin as if our skeleton’s out And a time to get deeper than a Pelican’s mouth But now it’s the time of the season to find a new meaning To rhyme ‘cause without rhyme there’s no reason I need it since I’ve already established that much It’s now the time in the show to showcase that which you can’t touch Can’t touch it live ovens fuck it your style is childish So slouch in your chair and pout in despair and silence Not even the power of prayer can save you this time Practice makes perfect so perfectly practice and if by Some chance you rip rhymes and do surprise Then I will stand corrected and move with time Because too many times do we move in a line And choose to rewind instead of using our minds And choosing a path we just mooch off the past I’d rather move through blue hues and chew through the masks That remain on our faces making us faceless Shaping our basic forms into makeshift yours or theirs A crown of thorns to wear or cross to bear Never feeling truly accepted like foster care Catching awkward stares and glares while trying to speak My mind to beats I just need time to be myself And keep my head out of clouds Continue to dream but never ever allow Myself to get out of control hold the phones Give me a minute to get it together and figure it out ‘Cause this is the now and now’s the time To really figure it out the hows and whys To clear our minds all the time I mean there’s got to be ways to make it all seem fine There’s times we yell and we shout and times for mellowing out A time for telling about the times we revel in doubt A time to shed our skin as if our skeleton’s out And a time to get deeper than a Pelican’s mouth But now it’s the time of the season to find a new meaning To rhyme ‘cause without rhyme there’s no reason I need it since I’ve already established that much It’s now the time in the show to showcase that which you can’t touch There’s times we yell and we shout and times for mellowing out A time for telling about the times we revel in doubt A time to shed our skin as if our skeleton’s out And a time to get deeper than a Pelican’s mouth But now it’s the time of the season to find a new meaning To rhyme ‘cause without rhyme there’s no reason I need it since I’ve already established that much It’s now the time in the show to showcase that which you can’t touch

‘Cause it’s not where you’re from it’s where you’re at so wear your hat it’s cold outside Winter weather brings together wind and sweaters bona fide Bad times open minds but hands tied A roll of eyes at the role of I a chance I Missed and ripped to shreds if I’d lift my head Maybe I could find a way to hide away the misdirected intellect And pick the best route to travel out and saddle up Have a cup of tea before I leave like fuck it peace Know that I was never planning on staying It should be no surprise no more ranting and raving I’ll let my soul decide who I really am revealing While hoping I can grow a spine and show what I am feeling At all times ‘cause all I’m feeling as of now Are feelings that arouse even deeper feelings of doubt So I’m reaching around back down to the sound of triumph Trying to pick it up and listen but it’s drowned out by silence Why’s it like this? I wish I had an answer And if I had one wish I think I’d wish for a different lamp but Since I don’t I live for hope and trying to find it Spend my days looking for answers ‘stead of questioning why it’s like this Fuck it ‘cause we may never know the reasoning From here on out let’s speak in only terms of what’s believed in Even if it gets a bit deep it Can never be deceiving provided nobody’s cheating Fuck it ‘cause we may never know the reasoning From here on out let’s speak in only terms of what’s believed in Even if it gets a bit steep it Can never be deceiving provided nobody’s cheapened the thrill And that nobody is sleeping But everyone is still dreaming We can all reach an agreement To get back on our feet and show people the real meaning Of, "Whoa, dude!" and, "Oh shoot, I told you! These guys are dope, dude! Helping those who won’t move To protrude and go through onto the next chapter With no fear to go here or there trying to master Their crafts without disaster" class is now in session I’ll pass on the sound of laughter grasping just how depressing it is When it replaces faces and erases Feelings from being felt and makes it seem like we feel well It’s just a cover-up like make-up nothing but a waste of time When will we wake up and accept this as our fate ‘cause It is what it is and we have to respect it Learn to gradually accept that we can’t always answer the questions we’re asked And we may never know the reasoning From here on out let’s speak in only terms of what’s believed in Even if it gets a bit deep it Can never be deceiving provided nobody’s cheating Fuck it ‘cause we may never know the reasoning From here on out let’s speak in only terms of what’s believed in Even if it gets a bit steep it Can never be deceiving provided nobody’s cheapened the thrill And we may never know the reasoning From here on out let’s speak in only terms of what’s believed in Even if it gets a bit deep it Can never be deceiving provided nobody’s cheating Fuck it ‘cause we may never know the reasoning From here on out let’s speak in only terms of what’s believed in Even if it gets a bit steep it Can never be deceiving provided we sank our teeth in ... Standing like a statue subtracting the will to proceed from the equation And blood will spill in the street as punishment’s placement Justice is fading it has just been deflated on its way To becoming a vagrant with an overabundance of hatred displayed We all hate to display hatred but, "Hey, if it works Then why question?" Let’s just try to make it today Facing the flames trying not to repeat myself Reaching out through these blue hues makes it hard to believe in help I mean I can see it well but actually grasping it’s a feat in itself Quite the task to finally ask why we hide in masks to fight the last Bit of decency hidden inside of us Realizing the crippling irony as another one bites the dust It must be our dirty mouths that make us crave the taste Of going face-to-face with razor blades and maybe make it out Of yet another close-shave erase the fade with grays and make it stay Today I hate to say I hate the way it’s played out (played out) Like conjuring lines of bullshit We’re the first to shoot our mouths off but stay afraid to bite the bullet And isn’t it ironic how irony heightens nonsense And brightens the light of conquests igniting the night with bombs "Bet it’s our President’s fault..." I bet you bet on bettering off your Entire existence living through someone else’s lie you were taught And I bet what I’m betting differs entirely from your bet "I bet he’s a bandwagon-jumping…" Fuck it is anyone bored yet? ‘Cause I sure am I mean I thought this was Rap music That was the impression I got when I rocked the mic on a Certain occasion now-a-days emcees ain’t even learning the basics Skip to the front like ripping ‘em up just isn’t enough let’s face it There’s no yearning to make it we’ve all learned to just take it Society sans variety every single furnace is breaking That’s not hot go fuck yourself doing your odd jobs A top-notch hodgepodge creating illusions your shit’s on top Of the world and nobody can touch what you’re on Even though it’s a re-occurrence and features no original words I’m Convinced you’re telling the truth and that you can bet upon Trying to hide behind a set of yawns like yeah I heard better songs I mean it’s far from achieving a step higher than decent in my book But when the right hook’s attached to the line you cast it might look Like a catch mistaken for a stroke of genius Like those who spoke with Jesus I know that hope’s the only reason I keep it in my best interest to keep keeping my distance from Horseplay as it’s my forte to ignore whores who shortchange artists It’s garbage how they barter and bargain for larger margins Extend the lines the pain’ll end in time but you gotta be willing to give it A minute’s sufficient I’m in it to flip it like mattresses forget to forget it And practice it remember your temper and if you consider it Hazardous then fuck it the whole situation’s facing a crumbling And something isn’t feeling right leaning right toward corruption Mother-fuck an assumption I’ve seen all that I needed to Conclude all that I recently have ‘bout these cats and all their secrets Creeping up and eating us alive like leaches sucking evil blood From people deemed unjust knee-deep in mud and seeming stuck Feast your fucking eyes try to see what I see Try to tell me straight-faced you don’t see all that I’ve been describing Motherfuckers who duck and cover plaguing our entire situation; let's Rearrange with some organization a brand new way to get a say in I’m saying
