lyrics

The moment I touch the mic, I won’t be needing a second strike. My rhymes are spiral, swirling like a whirlpool in the dead of night. Liquid tornados, a tidal wave of flows comes close to drown the coast. Then I rose, composed a hundred-foot waterfall and stood in a pose dumping all my heavy prose onto all of you pros. With a fluctuating alphabet, lines of language, the interchanging letters to exhibit my habit. I make it a point of poetry: From my hat I pull the rabbit and let it run but it’s too quick for you to grab it. I’m introducing new forms of phobia. Dart my pen through your aorta, write my rhymes across your cornea so you can see what I’m trying to say. The way I make eyes tear, I got clearance for my disappearance from the nightlights of the runway. Let ‘em all stay behind me where they’ll never find me fucking up the timing of the song. I’m chiming like bells, plus I’m rhyming along. I’m just too strong when everything goes wrong...I’m lying. To live like this I guess I might as well be dying. I’m too far, almost impossible to measure. Demonstrated: It didn’t work the first time, so we republicated our rhyme style to the masses cuz we’re in higher classes. Don’t need glasses, cuz we contact with graphics’ modern mechanics. The antics of my poems’ll leave you hapless as I conduct electricity into verbal hazards. In a world where modern genetics are born synthetic most energy is kinetic. I draw the movement of motions drawn to me—a positive attraction to my negative magnetics. When the pull is too strong and you’re drawn in all directions, the most common misconception is you adhering to my aural and optic deception…
