Side b side b, outcast of society/ Side b, it lives inside of me/ Side b, whats society really need/ Some of that side a/ Some of them back in the day/ Summing it up with wordplay/ Some of them actually stayed/ Back to rap real shit to say/ It gets lost admist the crap/ Playing on the radiowaves/ Leaving the kids in a daze/ *making em into clear channel slaves/ Wearing flannels cause its all the rage / Hipsters always think they bring change/ When it comes to sense theres no repents/ Kids these days have no defense/ Side b side b, outcast of society/ Side b, it lives inside of me/ Side b, whats society really need/ Ill tell you what they need/ A skilled mc to let them be freed/ I spilled the ink under my feet/ *so I can trudge it down the street/ On a budget to put my voice on beats/ I hope you love it cause this shit aint cheap/ Im different cause my songs are free/ I moved beyond that life of greed/ *even the biggest of trees/ Had to start life as a seed/ As you see upcoming mcs/ My cunning tongue licking the beats/ I love the music work religiously/ My sleep pattern im abusing/ Eyes sewed open losing sleep/ Im the muse you choose to keep/ cause I hold the screws that creep / loose as you split at the seams/ clueless to what my music really means/ but you still choose to root for my team/ *now isn’t that cool you found me/ Now isn’t that cruel to doubt me/ I got noticed so you crowd me/ Saying youre so proud of me/ That im such a dope mc/ Oh please, Get up off your knees Oh please You clog my arteries like grease/ With the depth of lies you weave/ You’ve yet to realize/ Youre one of my pet peeves/ You know all my lines/ And then you act coy ACT LIKE you haven’t heard my rhymes oh boy I slay the mic but its time to go to and write some more songs at night cause hiphop had died/ back in the 90s/ its fucking frightening how its fading away/ came and went like lightening now its back in the day Side b side b, outcast of society/ Side b, it lives inside of me/ Side b, whats society really need/

Open your ears to what you can feel Devotion is something you cant steal I slipped into the game like a banana peel Spinning around looking for that mass appeal Blood rushing no chance for it to congeal I feel, I need to be the guiding light I feel, I am the hero in the night With my voice keeping silent that knife But if it could talk itd tell tales of fright From its plethora of cold steel fights hard similar to day old cold frys My voice and the beats that coincide Of me is so sweet yet discreet I Feel my voice bring you to your knees You want more and more So you beg for me to please Your slowly lowering dopamine Levels as I put poise on the treble I poisoned the devil im stuck in a hellhole Now evil men bump me with elbows Like who the hell knows where were heading If hell froze id be the first one sledding Down the icy stalactites im betting Im better so grab a sweater For the approaching vendetta I only get better and better Like a fine wine I perfect my rhymes Like a bourbon im a gorilla of urban Warfare that’s not fair to those That cant afford to even stare At the windows of the store that’s closed Its time for you to ignore those just dispose Yourself of all the regret you’ve shown Its like you’ve only got confidence on a loan Its hard to find yourself without comfort zones But that’s how a real man is forced to grow into his own remember the iration that did this song it brings good vibes like the moisture of dawn the dew is on the ground they feel the pound of the drums and the kick of the snare and Ive finally found my lifes fair I can finally live without a care Its an irie nation I started at the bottom I found myself some inspiration Aiming for the stratosphere Trying to make my vocals clear In my hand a loaded gun The other with ink that don’t run Don’t think its not fun I fire it like a slug passing up the atmosphere Theres a new mc that’s in the industry Im going to be marked in history What are we here for it’s a mystery, Weve only got so much time Wasting away doesn’t sound to prime So Ill leave behind my poetic rhymes For others cause remember music is divine And its only a matter of time before we die Be sure to leave something that can shine Like a beacon for your own mind To be leaked across the entire coast line It’s a shore to shore confine im the lighthouse That can guide you in the night.

Life flashing by under the blue skies Looking back on the family ties That may be left behind If this mc can reach beyond What normal eyes can see Like an ionic bond Holding the mic to my palm Writing insightful psalms Of new messiah bibles I ink in blood so im missing the vital Parts of the charts to keep Rap alive through the tidal wave Of the recitals on stage For the next big star on cable Like lifes some kind of fable Where theres food on the table And horse in the stables Ready to take away the labels Of what society sees In someone like me Medial cortex Or to you that’s mc Whoopty dee of course that’s me Times short the hourglass runs empty The fourth horseman coming to get me Im living time hungry forgive me Im going back for seconds the hands continue to beckon me forward and northward as I get my fix it flips a six and I start to head south falling to word of mouth letting it invade my thoughts to sort them out I got to stop caring what others are sharing and continue my own daring mission of third eye staring with open arms peace I carry I barely hang on to atleast Some of the damaged Thoughts I can imagine Someones life would vanish Anxiety sets in with panic Feeling sort of manic As I plant this pen to paper And let it bleed vapors Of misled traitors Claiming organic and kosher Like they found closure For the basic instigators Ill say see you later I cold shoulder like vader To luke you little pukes Trying to steal my rap hooks And burn all my lyric books You couldn’t of took Away the passion I hold I grasp the pen and mic like im told To find the higher insight of old Scriptures that I can picture In my mind to a fraction of a second It comes to rapid off my tongue I learned raps for fun Not for some that pack a gun Or the ones with the drugs Or the ones with the cash Or the ones with some swag Its for the ones that really had Some good and bad so im glad I had some experience to get This part of my life in the bag Its like I found deliverance With my lines deliveries I spin webs of mystery Like some kind of whispering Wind that’s here to bring warm springs As the mindless drones spring the traps From where you act to where youre facts Don’t need to be backed My lyrical skills is anamorphous Contingent with my headtrips A robbed souls last chance To prove its got some worth Without a death dance You know the truth can hurt, Someone other than strangers As I flip through pages Of daily news its faceless The truth was strangled They all got their angles Be careful who you trust, Even the devil was an angel Before he turned to dust Id record the fallout On my little note pad To plot out A new song Even if its for right or wrong I am just rightfully gone From the right so I left And took whats left Of my last breaths To make a deal with death That I can live on forever In the songs I wrote for pleasure They’ll be my greatest endeavors
