All This World

(Intro)
All this world does, All. This. World
All this world does,
(Verse 1)
Damn, is it really like this now?
Tell me, did I miss out?
I can’t seem to script this shit out
Maybe I should pick a different movie role
Or hire a couple writers to produce the show
I think it’s something that you should know
I struggle, with important decisions
What more am I missing, can’t afford the additions
it’s unfortunate isn’t it, I forewarned you of my war torn prescription
I keep on jotting down, it’s like fortunes and wisdom
but torture and victims, are in the forecast of my distorted religion
I’m orphaned to visions, of source-less depictions
Red pill or the blue pill, what a decision,
You ask, why we living?
(Hook) (2x)
But the world keeps spinning,
Yeah it just keeps spinning, keeps spinning
All this world does (2x), it just keeps spinning (2x)
It don’t matter what you do, what you’re doing now (2x)
This world keeps spinning, it don’t even care if you’re living
Or if you stay in it,
(Verse 2)
Worried life might break up, and of all the shit I made up
shoulda just made love, now I go to evade some
what you gonna say son, shouldn’t make ‘em play dumb
You be at the bottom, I’mma elevate them
It’s a celebration, take the blue pill and forget where I came from
What a blissful existence, then you miss your persistence
You’re a victim of instance, and missed it by inches
What a different view, then the cliff of the finches
Sing a little song, you’re dismissed with the infants
just missed my enlistment, then I flip a switch
Because I don’t have time for forgiveness
I’m sorry to you all, that I just missed it
I’m trapped in the foggiest vision,
What about the times of my wrongful conviction?
(Hook) (2x)
But the world keeps spinning,
Yeah it just keeps spinning, keeps spinning
All this world does (2x), it just keeps spinning (2x)
It don’t matter what you do, what you’re doing now (2x)
This world keeps spinning, it don’t even care if you’re living
Or if you stay in it
(Verse 3)
Red pill, tell me what’s the truth man
Reality and casualties, while I’m in the booth, damn
Moving on, not talking about it no more
Cold world is frozen solid, like your 4 door
97 ford in the middle of a snow storm
When the temperature is well below form
And you’re just closed in on your own war
Way to reach out and tell the world that you’re not warm
They need you to conform, or just be deformed
I just want to take a trip to see world, it’s a little big world
I’m Malcolm in the middle of the rock and a hard place
But it’s not all bad, see the look on my face
Says life’s not bad, I just want to see grace
Red pill or the blue pill, either one you take
At the end of the day, you’ll still probably be fake
(Hook) (2x)
But the world keeps spinning,
Yeah it just keeps spinning, keeps spinning
All this world does (2x), it just keeps spinning (2x)
It don’t matter what you do, what you’re doing now (2x)
This world keeps spinning, it don’t even care if you’re living
Or if you stay in it
(Outro)
All this world, All this world does

Sacrificial Lamb
05:56
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Lambs blood on my hands now once again
I just stopped another one from suffering
Wait? Is that the right way?
I got a list of things, that I want to say
A sacrifice is inevitable
If you’re in heaven or no
Somewhere better that’s whole
And you believe in your soul
Woah, let’s go
On the open road, tell me your, goals
I see they don’t line up
Move on, time’s up
Song drops, I find guts
Til then I rhyme dust
I’m running in place
Maybe this time, I made a mistake
Leave my family, alone and disgraced
Blood on the canvas
It’s not my handprints
We both killed that lamb,
I’m not the one who planned it
In the meantime, panic
The plan was that sacrifice was needed
Then we killed the lamb and you just wanted to eat it
(snicker) wow
(Hook)
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Even with four legs knew it couldn’t stand
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Started slinging her blade and it was dead again
We got some warmth, found some nourishment
At the end of the day it left me worried sick
We got some warmth, found some nourishment
I don’t want it to be over, but look at it
(Bridge)
Look at it, will you look at it
I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be over but look at.
I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be, don’t leave it right here, right in front of me
Like it’s my mother fucking mistake, that I gotta fix, for all of the things you did anyway
And she looked at me, when she walked by
She said that lamb, has gotta die
(Verse 2)
Forlorn ghosts, a new born hope
How do I cope? With this long rope, wrapped around my throat
On these lines I choke, and that last quote, on the last note
It’s coming fast, yo
Don’t let it crash souls, hiding under trap doors
I don’t want to rap for, a pointless reason
Joints are freezing, need some relievin’
Maybe buy some Aleve and move onto next weekend, cause I’m leaving
Think that should make it harder to stay,
Hoping that your ghosts all go away
Had a bad day and I almost broke down
Almost called you, then I had to slow down, because I know now
We were never meant to be, that’s why the lamb is now history
Never meant to be, so it’s history
(Instrumental break)
(Verse 2 transition)
Gathered together, at the start of this letter
Look at us now, nothing but feathers
No nutrients, we’re not producing it
A few memories and a good kiss
I’ll see ya later, I’ll see ya later
(Verse 3)
Hope you found the right way,
If you catch me, hope it’s on a nice day
Hey, I had a few bad ones, had to look away
Faced with a black sun, no light in my life,
One day I’ll find a wife, I’m sorry that it’s not you
Live your whole life, you’re only 22
It’s kind of funny who, we think we are
A year passes, feels so far
I need a tear gas mask, it feels so hard
Water works running, don’t let the dam break
It all started when that lamb broke its damn leg
Yeah, you know what I say
(Hook)
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Even with four legs knew it couldn’t stand
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Started slinging her blade and it was dead again
We got some warmth, found some nourishment
At the end of the day it left me worried sick
We got some warmth, found some nourishment
I don’t want it to be over, but look at it
(Bridge)
Look at it, will you look at it
I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be over but look at.
I don’t want it to be, I don’t want it to be, don’t leave it right here, right in front of me
Like it’s my mother fucking mistake, that I gotta fix, for all of the things you did anyway
And she looked at me, when she walked by
She said that lamb, has gotta die
(Verse 4)
A sad funeral, so introduce your soul
Heartache, heartbreak, it’s usual
I’m producing a flow, to try to savor the moment
But I have hope yet, that you won’t forget
Resurrect this lamb as a monument,
To the good times, bad times, sad times
Bad fights, paid a bad price for a hot commodity
That type of love felt like an oddity
Never forget the journey, our odyssey
It makes it hard to sing
But now I move onto the next being
Hope to raise the lamb to a nice sheep
Gotta pay the cost, whatever the price’ll be.
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Even with four legs, knew it couldn’t stand
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Got some warmth, and found some nourishment.

I Will (Feat. Mecca)
03:44
|
|||
(Intro) (Mecca)
I think that maybe I just care too much
Because my emotions are something most wouldn’t dare to touch
I sound psychotic and crazy, first day I’m calling you baby,
Then I start naming our babies, why’s this keep happening lately
(Verse 1) (T.D.)
Lately, I’m just worried,
You replaced her in a hurry
Honestly you had me turning
Before me and her were burning
The last little drop, of the love candle
You became the scandal
An enigma, in my way,
Why is there so much left to say?
Baby, wait, hold up, love?
I think I royally fucked up
You were royalty and such
A beautiful being, but what…
I really need, is some clarity
Taking Claritin so I see
Through the allergy,
That you seem to be
Baby girl, please just believe me
On the silver screen
You could be my Audrey
I could be your Mel Ferrer
Let me touch your body
Girl you’ve made my life clearer
But you won’t let me near ya
I fear, your hero and I’m zero, so here we go
(Hook) (Mecca)
I’m sorry that you won’t talk to me
And I’m sorry that I like your fucking company
I’m sorry that you don’t care, I’m sorry that I will, hey
I’m sorry that I won’t talk to you
Cause I just thought of something else better that I should do
I’m sorry that I don’t care, I’m sorry that you will, hey
(Verse 2) (T.D.)
Glance down as my phone rings
I see your picture is glowing
can’t answer without her knowing
and I’m showing I moved on
missed you chance, it’s true hun
Got a new girl, from my new girl
I’m well beyond you girl
From hell you spawned, it’s true girl
Maybe that’s too far, but you’re whose girl?
See, you wouldn’t tell me when you did that shit
Because I wouldn’t be your little pet
Now you’re worried that you lost me
I’m not talking about Ashley
The whole crew thought we should be together
I even told you, we should be together
But you played me, so we won’t be together
Now I have to just read this letter
Go in your closet and get the greenest sweater
Burying you an envious weather
Seems my rhyme schemes off, you don’t deserve it better
Mecca tell these girls, that didn’t get the memo,
That they missed their chance
Trying to call on me to kiss they ass
Best believe that day has passed
No apologies, but I did it at last
And these last two bars are just here to pass
Mecca tell ‘em bout the script we cast
They ain’t in it, they ain’t in it,
I moved on, and it’s your loss
(Hook) (2x) (Mecca)
I’m sorry that you won’t talk to me
And I’m sorry that I like your fucking company
I’m sorry that you don’t care, I’m sorry that I will, hey
I’m sorry that I won’t talk to you
Cause I just thought of something else better that I should do
I’m sorry that I don’t care, I’m sorry that you will, hey
(Skit – Donnie and Gretchen) (Donnie in quotations)
What if you could go back in time and take all those hours of pain and darkness and replace them with something better?
(Like images or what?)
Like a Hawaiian sunset or the grand canyon, things that remind you of how beautiful the world is.
(You know we’ve been going together for like two weeks)
Yeah, (well I uhh…) do you wanna kiss me?

Love Every New Accident
04:00
|
|||
(Skit – Donnie and Gretchen) (Donnie in parentheses)
(Uhh..Uhhh, I’m sorry,) Donnie, wait. (I just like you a lot)
I just want it to be….at a time when….it….(when what?)…when it reminds me, just
(When it reminds you how beautiful the world can be?) yeah
(Verse 1)
Beat drops and my mind walks,
Think I’m lost, I can hold on, but my time’s lost
Hold up, I think my rhymes off
Hey girl, what you doing?
See what you put me through, when
I tried hard, was always there
At the end of the day, you didn’t care
It’s okay, we all been scared
It that too much, are you running?
Get out of town, when you wanted
I’m still confronted, confused and conflicted
Discussions with you, well they never existed
And you want me to listen?
(Hook)
Love every new accident, I’m just feeling like I crashed again (2x)
It’s an accident, accident, accident
Love every new accident, I’m just feeling like I crashed again
(Verse 2 – Deep Voice)
Confusion, delusion, I’m losing blood fluid
They tell me I’m useless
And you’re just using me, it’s a nuisance
I can’t believe what I’m used to
The truth moves, on to edges
I just start hating you, too,
but the first thing that I said is
(Verse 2 – Part 2)
Now moving on, I’ve seen a reason why
The seasons as they fly, paint your beauty in the sky
Now I usually would die, from these feelings caught inside
You’re like an awesome suicide
Where the old me goes and hides
(Verse 2 – Part 3)
Future is alive, and it is something we can find
Tell me all that’s on your mind
I will tell you it is fine
Everything you’ve ever done is reason enough
To control the sun and my breathing lungs
Go at the same pace as the beat of these drums
Life is always more than the whole of its sums
I’ll probably wash to shore, like the poetry of
A lost love on an island from the view of the subs
(Hook)
Love every new accident, I’m just feeling like I crashed again (2x)
It’s an accident, accident, accident
Love every new accident, I’m just feeling like I crashed again
(Verse 3)
Every single accident, we ever had with past events
Has me always asking if, the world is a practice pitch
We are all the pawns that live
Never knowing happiness,
Because we are consumed by the racket of 1,000 fists
Tell me that they beat the drums, differently in your circles
Tell me that you need me love, that you know I won’t hurt you
Tell me if I bleed enough, that you’ll be there to clean me up
And everything we’ve ever lived, has a hidden meaning of
A life that is fulfilled because we’ve filled with bleeding love
Pours onto the floors, and overflows the medians
But you’re far too needy, I gotta go, that’s right I’m leaving
Got no time to waste with heathens, who overestimate my reasons
Seasons come and go and everyone is running home
I’m no longer waiting with your chair upon this throne
(Hook)
Love every new accident, I’m just feeling like I crashed again (2x)
It’s an accident, accident, accident
Love every new accident, I’m just feeling like I crashed again
(Verse 4)
Hoping that I opened up and finally produced enough
To move away from what we were and walk into the setting dusk
Fight your own battles, I don’t care that you haven’t won
Not standing by your side, you only have the setting sun
So if we both move far away, and I get scared I should have stayed
Remember accidents have a funny way
Of sitting you beside the person who you now look at and say
Where were you from the start, but at least we’ll have a final day

No Difference
04:16
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Got this one girl, think I’m starting my life, this all feels so right
But it’s wrong, but it’s wrong
I’m an atheist, but we could make it work
She acts like that line is absurd
I have morals, values and I care for people
She acts like I’m a heathen without a steeple
And take me to church
I’m not religious, I think my point is missed
All she thinks, is how will we raise kids
Worries about her parents, like they have the final say
Same people discriminating against blacks and gays
We’re all the same, that’s word to the man
I guess in the end, you just don’t understand
(Hook)
There is no difference, between me and the rest
So if I don’t pass your test, at least I gave you the best…I could
And I tried all the times, but you wouldn’t realize, you couldn’t see
I wish you understood it, I wish you understood it, you’d see, you’d see
There is no difference, there is no difference, with me, with me
(Verse 2)
And you discriminate but act like it isn’t really hate
Hidden in the vail, of a barely held together faith
Maybe you will elevate and head to heaven’s pearly gates
Saying I’m not good enough will probably alter all your fate
I’m not a sculptor or a saint, but a story I can paint
That makes glory on this Earth, how I’m living out my days
I’ll never tell, all the times that you fell
You were so quick to just throw me in it
I can’t believe
(Hook 2)
I wish you understood that, I wish you understood that
You might see what you’re good at, and I wish you understood that
There is no difference, between me and the rest, you see
Take me to church
I wish you understood it, I wish you understood it,
You might see, what we.. (what we could be)
I wish you understood, and I wait for the day that you finally say you were wrong
I wish you could be honest, I wish you could be honest with me, with me
I wish you understood it, I wish you understood it,
Because maybe then you, you’d see
(I wish) and I wish you could be honest (I wish)
And I wish you could be honest, with me
I wish you understood it (with me)
I wish you understood it
I wish you could be honest, I wish you could be honest, with me, with me
(Outro)
There is no difference, between me and the rest, you see
I just wish you could be honest with me

Angel
03:34
|
|||
(Verse 1)
She said she’s not the type to walk around, looking over shoulders
She said she’s not alright, feels like she’s carrying some boulders
I said, don’t waste your time on that, no, gotta be an angel
I said, don’t waste your time on that, no, gonna lose your halo
Been down, worried for a few minutes
She left, how could I fix it?
She existed, not how you envision
My angels aren’t holy, nor have a religion, nor have a religion
My angels aren’t holy, (unholy, unholy)
(Hook)
She had become, the angel of my mind
She had become, the angel of my eye
But was she good, was she good, was she good..for me
She’s the angel, I’m the devil
I’m the angel, she’s the devil
I could never get it right, you see
(Verse 2)
Girl why do you always, get stuck in my mind (mind) (mind)
I keep on fighting this, all of the time (time) (time)
Keep on playing these games, so worried she’ll change
But I don’t realize she’s gone, no angels, no demons
No devils, I’m leaving
Chapter over, close the book,
I can’t give you a second look
Gotta move on, live this life for good
There’s an angel singing at the chapel,
She’s just hoping she could capture
Your emotions and the pastor
But she got you running, running faster, running faster
They ask what you’re running after, running after
(Hook)
She had become, the angel of my mind
She had become, the angel of my eye
But was she good, was she good, was she good..for me
She’s the angel, I’m the devil
I’m the angel, she’s the devil
I could never get it right, you see
(Verse 3)
This is not about the girls, I’m chasing in my life
It’s about the one who left earth and it wasn’t quite right
See honestly, in the time, leading up to that moment
It had been awhile since I thought of her, my heart was still broken
Now I move on, found closure, it was so hard
And none of this reflects who she was
It just reflects on me
She got me through some rough nights
I always wondered why she died
But now she’s dead and gone, and I’ll never get to ask her why
(Outro Hook)
And what she was, she became the angel of… (3x)
Everything I wasn’t capable of.
And what she was, she became the angel of… (3x)
Everything I wasn’t capable of.
(Spoken Word)
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels nor by demons, nor heaven or hell.

Good Book
03:23
|
|||
(Intro)
Never judge a book by its cover, you might discover, it’s deeper than that
(Verse 1)
Occasionally I’m tired of the ways which we survive
I’m tired of all the people always telling all they lies
So should we compromise? Another homicide
Makes often coffins realized, but I’m coughing off this real life
Pollution that makes teared eyes, and emphysema numbers rise
Until my grandfather dies, and we all have to act surprised
Like asbestos and years of puffing packs a day, would heal the guy
I need to feel the sky, but have no reason to fly
So I produce a new, a new truth for you
I’m not waiting for heaven, I’m just waiting for you
I’m increasing numbers of my followers like Jesus Christ
You’d have to be a preacher man to have a chance at decent life
I’d probably just need it twice, asking did we read it right
The whole book, I only took a look for a couple nights
Hearing my Miranda rights, fingers crossed in the court
As I’m swearing on the Bible’s life
Can I retort your report, that I’m a bad man, non-believer?
That’s not the same thing, now am I bad boy James Dean
Or a deacon or catholic priest
Touching little Jimmy in the back room bathroom of the church, I’m just setting the scene
Maybe you only see, a need for holy things,
I’m tired of okey-doking, all my open dreams,
To the hopes that ghosts aren’t hopeless beings
Simply cloaked in a hope we accept everything
So they hide in plain sight of the letters I write
I’m lying at most, using venom and spite
The lion is easiest to find when he’s the head of the pride
Too much pride will leave you dead in the night
And they still shoot bombs like the 4th of July
Religious warfare, ain’t ending tonight
(Hook)
Never judge a book by its cover, you might discover, it’s deeper than that (3x)
(Verse 2)
Paused for discretions, I’m blasting new weapons
No offense to Hebrews or Muslims who are viewing this record
I could say you could have a view of my rectum,
I’d be too close to the dude who first used this art form as a weapon
My art of war is deception, ask Sun Tzu, who I’m truly disrespecting
Arrested to get attention, 6th grade I got a detention,
I thought I should mention, I’m a pretty badass, lab rat
So who are you Mr. Ascension?
Rising to the holy soap box, hoax spot
For the sake of the have nots, who halve knots,
Like I’m splitting the yarn in a bad spot
To fray edges on this pad lock
I’m afraid the edge is where I can’t rock
But I can’t stop, until I reach the very top
Thought a fear of heights could be a problem, but it’s not
(Hook)
Never judge a book by its cover, you might discover, it’s deeper than that (3x)
(Verse 3)
Got me reading these pages, had me praying to sages
Had me leaving a lady, thinking you had betrayed me
Let’s go back and see how the score stacks
The stage is too big for the drama we’re playing
If you believe, that’s okay, I’m just saying
Relationship ended when religion played in
Like I’m not a good person, your original sin
Was ever judging me by that book to begin,
With. So you can take your church and your friends list
I’m done, closed book, let’s end this

Preacher, Preacher
04:23
|
|||
(Verse 1)
Welcome in kids, take a seat. Class will begin shortly.
Young kid, wondering, day dreaming, stumbling
In science class, say what is this?
Sitting next to the baddest chick
Look back and she bites her lip
Got me freaking out, yeah look at me dick
Can’t focus, I’m hopeless
But what sticks out when I wrote this
Is that the teacher was bogus
He said, “you know kids
How we got here
Evolution or a designer?
Let’s look back at the big bang
Either method gets the same thing”
Like hold up, what’d you say?
Intelligent design ain’t the same thing
As evolution, which pretty much has been proven
Don’t make me make this stupid,
You fool kids, I know what you doing?
So I’m chop (chop) and screwing
Everything that you ruined
Then I turn back to the fine dime
Come on girl, it’s lunch time
I got tea carton and some chicken tenders
I’m sorry folks if all this offends ya
Hook (2x)
Preacher, preacher, fifth grade teacher,
You can’t reach me, my mom can’t either,
You can’t teach me, you, you can’t teach me
(Verse 2)
Go to church, gotta give a donation
Is this what I gotta do to earn salvation?
Look at the priest, he’s salivating.
12 year old boy in the back, buck naked
Am I unholy, thou hath forsaken?
Acting crazy like I rap for satan
Don’t believe him either, but you’re fascinated
In the way my rap tracks, grab a nation
Pin ‘em down, now I have ‘em pacing
Worried that I’ll destroy the fakeness
Fake love, from a hating racist
Hates the gays and all the atheists
Preaching love in your face, defacing it
Say they did good, egos inflating quick
But ethos, is close to the most amazing, it’s
Sad, that I’m bad, for living out a good life
And it’s sad that this fad, made me live without a good wife
You’re just misunderstood, right?
Front of the room and I look like..
Hook (2x)
Preacher, preacher, fifth grade teacher,
You can’t reach me, my mom can’t either,
You can’t teach me, you, you can’t teach me
(Sample – Eminem)
But sometimes the shit just seems
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm disgusting
But it's just me, I'm just obscene
No I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
To do black music so selfishly
And used it to get myself wealthy
(Hey!!) There's a concept that works
(Verse 3) (T.D.)
I’m one of 20 million white rappers that emerged
Up until this point I really tried to diverge
And stay away from the feelings, know how they get hurt
But this time I throw it all to the birds,
You can treat me how you want because I’m Mr. Absurd
But in the end, you hang and dangle onto every word
I’m teaching you a lesson that you may not have heard
I’m still a moral person who don’t pray to the lord
You know I got more morals than you could ever afford
I’ll write a paycheck so you can all be ignored
But until that time, no, I ain’t going to war
Living my life, in this world to explore,
And no I won’t be your..
Hook (2x)
Preacher, preacher, fifth grade teacher,
You can’t reach me, my mom can’t either,
You can’t teach me, you, you can’t teach me
(Skit – Richard Feynman)
One of things that my father taught me beside physics, whether it’s correct or not
Was a disrespect for respectable, for certain kinds of things
For example, he’d sit me on his knee, and he’d open a picture
And there was a picture of the Pope, with everybody bowing in front of him
He’d say ‘now look at these humans,’ he’d say, here’s one human standing here
And all these others are bowing, now what is the difference?
This is the Pope and those are the ordinary people, he hated the Pope,
And he’d say ‘the difference is epaulettes,’ not in the case of the Pope,
Maybe it was a General, it was always the uniform, the position
This man has the same human problems, he eats dinner like anybody else
He goes to the bathroom, he has the same kinds of problem as everybody
He’s a human being, why are they all bowing to him?
Only because of his name and his position
Only because of his uniform, not because of something he especially did

King Dumb
05:40
|

(Sample)
Holy water, cannot help you now, see I’ve come to burn, your kingdom down
And no rivers, and no lakes, can put the fire out
I’m going to raise the stakes, I’m going to set you off
(Hook)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?
(Verse 1)
Blow it up, this time I’m going nuts
Too many wannabes, so I’m showing up
If you old enough, throw away the sippy cup
Put your dick back in, man zip it up
Get strong in this game, then rip it up
Tear a castle straight down to the ground
Glad I didn’t grow up with these clowns
Mad I had to show up, to this gown
But I had to take a chance
I knew a king would be crowned
And they’d kneel to the ground
Just believing all of these sounds
But I got a few words for the queens in the town
Too many fake crowns the deceit that I found
Has me making a change and its starting right now
Kill fakeness today, yeah I’m burning it down
Saint’s in the way of my murderous style
And the whole world’s ghost, see smoke, I’m toasting the mile
Take the crown in my hands, and smash it down in the pile
I stand right here, tell a joke, I’m just cracking a smile
As the pack falls back, I’m laughing awhile,
No kings left, look around only jokers now
(Hook)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?
(Bridge)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings, we need civilians,
Need Wu Tang, and a couple villians
I’m coming in to produce a feeling
You coming in to just hope for millions
(Sample)
Holy water, cannot help you now, see I’ve come to burn, your kingdom down
And no rivers, and no lakes, can put the fire out
I’m going to raise the stakes, I’m going to set you off
(Hook)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?
(Verse 2)
Just call me New Uncle Murda,
Fuck ya frauds and ya Bobby Shmurda’s
I’m Upstate from the NYC
So many kings in that damn city
The first one to claim it was B.I.G.
But when in the ground you’re the king of nothing
No disrespect, see we just discussing
If the king went down and has lost his crown
We don’t need another one of y’all to pick it up now
So Jay, I say, the king didn’t come
Let’s be on our way,
No new kings, and no based gods
No OGs, and no race cards
Do ya thing man, and rap hard
I was gonna crash cars like its NASCAR
And smash bars in the back yards
Of these bastards, whose raps are…not a factor,
K. Dot, I’m talking to you,
Don’t be a king, man, keep it true,
rap your style, so the tracks you lay
are inspiration, put it on display
Beyond that it’s all good
I’m giving back like Robin Hood
Don’t start a fight and get in a car with Suge
Then you’re on the strip and you’re gone for good
That’s the way it goes in the rap game
Today’s days the facts change
So I rap without needing to backspace
I’m on the track, leaving a bad taste
For these rap saints, who smoke out like ashtrays
Trying to just blaze
(Hook)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?
(Bridge)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings, we need civilians,
Need Wu Tang, and a couple villians
I’m coming in to produce a feeling
You coming in to just hope for millions
(Verse 3)
Coming in here to just change the game
But my brains hang and the words spill
You’re like heartburn, I’m the purple pill
And my heart burns with the urge to kill
These fake actors, who ain’t rappers
Got 2 Chainz to hang ya faster
Your only hope is that you break the plaster
You fall down and you’re never captured
Royal treatment meets a new disaster
Revolutions and we’re moving faster
Burn the village as the children scamper
Because they served a king that we’re headed after
And the words I sling are the feted dagger
To stop the tyrant, an indebted master
Don’t want to lead, it isn’t what I asked for
Hand the crown to me and it gets smashed and shattered
(Bridge)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings, we need civilians,
Need Wu Tang, and a couple villians
I’m coming in to produce a feeling
You coming in to just hope for millions
(Verse 4)
Fuck y’all looking at me for? Like my belt got G-O-D on it
And I fly high, like a streaking comet
Then lay it down, producing miracles
Hold up we’re getting way too spiritual
I sold love in the face of the fearful
This song got nearing tears, too
Smash the crowns because I know you feel it, dude
(Hook) (2x)
Everybody wants to be a king, son
Too many kings in the kingdom
God, do you wanna meet the king’s son?
What if god is a fraud and your king’s dumb?
(Bridge)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings, we need civilians,
Need Wu Tang, and a couple villians
I’m coming in to produce a feeling
You coming in to just hope for millions
The king’s dumb (2x)
(Outro)
Fuck y’all mad at me for? Coming in here to do new things
Pissed off, my new flow is better than all of you lames
Don’t need kings (echo)

Humanity (Feat. Mecca)
05:27
|

(Bridge) (2x) (Mecca)
Tell me about your reasons, tell me about your thoughts
Tell me if life is breathing, tell me if time is lost
(Verse 1) (T.D.)
To have decency is decently redeeming themes
Broken, hopeless, ghosts and beings
I just hope you notice me
Overdosed on lucid dreams
I hope I wrote this opening
To open up and make you scream
You have never seen the things
That repeat in melodies, holding on til hell will freeze
Or church bells ring in time for spring
And let me know, there’s a new beginning
To start it over once again (once again, once again)
To have humanity, takes a bit of sanity
Mixed with Casey Anthony,
Because you’re at the breaking point
Hating life the way its void
Of everything you’ve paved before
Covered in a snow storm
Roads are slick, you’re not warm
Take a moment, hate it all
Take a moment, let it fall
Think about the times when you redeemed it all
And dream that stars in the sky never fall (never fall, never fall)
(Hook) (Mecca)
I feel like everything is changing,
Woke up in the morning to a bunch of turning pages
I really thought I found the antidote,
Life is asking questions, I’m still wondering where the answers go
How come I only see the light in my dreams?
I’m just chasing after something, I don’t know what it means.
Who’s the one whose gotta change? Is it you? Is it us?
What are humans supposed to do when they aren’t human enough?
(Verse 2) (T.D.)
I’m battling with scattered thoughts
I’m trying to find my goldilocks,
A perfect mix of everything,
But I probably mixed it wrong
So if you just skipped this song
You never got the message
I just want to reply, you’re better than you conceive
You’re better than you believe
You’re better than two of me
Usually, we’re not viewed beautifully
I’ll tell you that you gotta live your dreams
But it don’t mean nothing, if you don’t believe
That’s what they try to do with the holy ghost
And tell you, if you don’t believe, you will surely roast
In a hell fire, like a few shells fired
Tired of dealing with liars, who believe they are suppliers
Supplying you with fibs, as they punch you in the ribs
Has me always asking what gives?
Of a just god, maybe I’ve gone too far and it must stop
Remember being young at the bus stop
Just waiting, we were passing all the days
On another’s watch, could have lived it in a daze
Get old enough, and you got something to say
They tell you that you always keep getting in the way
I’m only human, looking for some sympathy
When I’m in the stars, you can never come visit
We only try so hard, to avoid failure at everything
(Hook) 2x
Tell me about your reasons, tell me about your thoughts
Tell me if life is breathing, tell me if time is lost
(Hook) (Mecca)
I feel like everything is changing,

(Skit – Charlie Chaplin)
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. .....
Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!

(Voicemail) (Dad)
Hey bud, just wanted to see what was going on and how you’ve been
Okay, talk to you later. Bye
(Intro) (T.D.)
Dear Dad,
Thank you for all of the support you’ve given me. I wouldn’t be here without you.
I hope one day I can pass on the same messages you taught me to my son.
But not yet, we'll get there eventually, it's coming soon.
Anyway, let's get to this
(Hook)
Father said, son tell me what you been through
Son replies, it's hard to think of what i'm gonna do
Father said to his son, you don’t need this
Father said to his son, I got a secret
I could tell ya, I could tell ya
How to do it right, but you could live it better
So you can sit and listen, or make you own path
Either way I’ll be here when you come back
(Verse 1)
He said son, tell me what you doing
Tell me how you’ve been?
The world? Do you rule it?
Not yet, I’m sure you’re heading to it
Had a bad day, I know you’ll get through it
Move on, move on, stay strong
Love always shines on everyone, as long as they’re singing along
If they’re down or they did you wrong
Just sit back and play ‘em this song (*laughter)
So a father looks right at his son, staring right into his eyes
He says son I wanna tell you some things, I sure had me a nice life
I worked hard to provide all this stuff, now you’re finally living it up
Never forget who you are, stay strong when you feel you’re giving up
(Hook)
Father said, son tell me what you been through
Son replies, it's hard to think of what i'm gonna do
Father said to his son, you don’t need this
Father said to his son, I got a secret
I could tell ya, I could tell ya
How to do it right, but you could live it better
So you can sit and listen, or make you own path
Either way I’ll be here when you come back
(Verse 2)
Son responds, hey dad I’m working real hard
I think one day I’ll have me a nice yard
Build my own fence, and put a shed up
There’s always room for you and mom, yeah the beds tucked
I probably did it wrong, but that’s still okay
It’s the thought that counts is what they always say
I just had a thought, when I was just a kid
Playing catch in the yard is where I really lived
Drive a couples hours, we’re so far away
I’m just thinking back, on all the good days
One day I’ll stand here in front of my son
And you know what I’m gonna say
I’ve had a nice life
I always worked hard
Tell him bout the time when I crashed my car
You were there quicker than the ambulance
That’s a father son love that’ll always last
(Hook)
Father said, son tell me what you been through
Son replies, it’s hard to think of what I’m gonna do
Father said to his son, you don’t need this
Father said to his son, I got a secret
I could tell ya, I could tell ya
How to do it right, but you could live it better
So you can sit and listen, or make you own path
Either way I’ll be here when you come back
(Instrumental break)
(Outro)
When you come back, when you come back
Father said to his son, when you come back
Father said to his son, I’ll be here when you come back

2 Timothy

(Intro)
It’s a new me, its second Timothy
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
I could show you incredible things
(Verse 1)
Collect a couple of my thoughts, real quick
But I promise I’m gonna take you on a nice field trip
We can go to new heights, in this life, feel this
Here’s a song for the times, when the falseness arrived
And you felt so deprived, like you never had a chance, they expelled your goodbye
You felt you should die, found a way to survive
Restart your heart, and excel from our eyes
This is for the times, when we yelled and we cried
I don’t ever wanna worry, that you held back your life
Move on, do right, I don’t even care what you’re doing, tonight
I upgrade myself, the only thing in my sight
(Hook)
…is a new me, it’s second timothy,
I’m not the same kid, that I used to be
I had to go and make a couple changes, see
I had to grow up, have some love lost
It don’t matter what, cuz I’ll pay the cost (2x)
Old receipts, and my empty accounts
Now I survive off the highest amounts
It’s a new me, it’s second timothy,
I’m not the same kid, that I used to be
I had to go and make a couple changes, you see
I had to grow up, have some love lost
It don’t matter what, cuz I’ll pay the cost (2x)
Feel lonely, and full of doubt,
Now is the time, you can remake yourself
(Verse 2)
Some are up-tight, or too laid back
Some up all night, while others take a nap
Some fight to be treated right
Some light up, to be free from night
All I want, is some type of balance
I’m not a king, I don’t need a chalice
Pass up your dreams, that is actual malice
I don’t need a crown, don’t need a palace
I only want you, let’s just call you Alice,
I’m in wonderland, but I wonder if my plan
Will turn out to be another sacrificial lamb
All we had was a sacrificial lamb
Even with four legs, knew it couldn’t stand
We got some warmth and found some nourishment
I accept that it’s over, and look at this
I made a change, start over new
I’m sorry girl, you’re not used to
The improvements I made, all I welcome you to
(Hook)
…is a new me, it’s second timothy,
I’m not the same kid, that I used to be
I had to go and make a couple changes, see
I had to grow up, have some love lost
It don’t matter what, cuz I’ll pay the cost (2x)
Old receipts, and my empty accounts
Now I survive off the highest amounts
It’s a new me, it’s second timothy,
I’m not the same kid, that I used to be
I had to go and make a couple changes, you see
I had to grow up, have some love lost
It don’t matter what, cuz I’ll pay the cost (2x)
Feel lonely, and full of doubt,
Now is the time, you can remake yourself
(Verse 3)
To the new girl, in my life
Who really knows, if you’ll be my wife
It all depends how the water flows
If this gets too deep, just hold your nose
Come on girl, let’s go, go, go
If you’re worried, we can take it slow
Welcome, it’s nice to meet you miss
She looks at me, and asks me if this
(Hook)
…is a new me, it’s second timothy,
I’m not the same kid, that I used to be
I had to go and make a couple changes, see
I had to grow up, have some love lost
It don’t matter what, cuz I’ll pay the cost (2x)
Old receipts, and my empty accounts
Now I survive off the highest amounts
It’s a new me, its second timothy,
I’m not the same kid, that I used to be
I had to go and make a couple changes, you see
I had to grow up, have some love lost
It don’t matter what, cuz I’ll pay the cost (2x)
Feel lonely, and full of doubt,
Now is the time, you can remake yourself
(Skit – Richard Feynman)
I can live with doubt and uncertain and not knowing.
I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing, than to have answers which might be wrong
I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and difference degrees of certainty about different things
But I’m not absolutely sure about anything. And many things I don’t know anything about
Such as, whether it means anything to ask why we’re here
And what the question might mean. I might think about it for a little bit
But if I can’t figure it out then I’ll go to something else
I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things,
By being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is,
As far as I can tell. It doesn’t frighten me.
