Born to fight, piloting a mech like Evagelion/ Woke up in the body of a young black American/ Dissonance Between the World and Me like Ta-Nehisi/ Innocence ain't my priority so yall can eat me/ Arrogance is what they call me when my head ain't low enough/ Humble's what they call me when I tell the world I 've given up/ I'm hearing whispers that this life is cruel and evanescent/ But the oppression be the fuel to my incandescence/ Call it paranoia but I think its Kafka-esque/ how the worst fate targets who we call the best/ The Universe is biased and it tortures who I deem a threat/ When it comes to me, I ain't whimpering--I BEAT MY CHEST!/ ...ILL-Vain kill 'em with the common sense/ Still can't penetrate my obstinance/ Broke, deliverying opulence/ Stoked they still ain't boxed me in/ Ya'll know I go straight savage/ Algernon my way through the labyrinth/ Although we already know that there ain't no goal--we just live for the action/ No sweat/ just a whole lotta laughin'/ Some stress but a whole lot passion/ Don't fret about the views of the factions/ Just worry bout you and ya path son/ Mada fact I dribble off track some/ Dabble in a little this and that some/ Cause we swimmin' in an endless vacuum/ And I know they'll call me back soon/ So I ain't lookin for absolute truth/ a ghost in the sky or a mountain of loot/ a place to call home or a fountain of youth/ I look in the mirror--I'm waitin' on YOU/ Before they prey on you...I pray to you/ What they gon' do...when WE come through?/ I be on my own plane/ deep within my own brain/ In here there is no shame/ enter and you'll learn pain/ UGH! And don't you ever forget! ......YOU AINT SEEN MY FINAL FORM YET! I said... YOU AINT SEEN MY FINAL FORM YET!

(ILL-Vain)From now on I'm rejectin all of your shit/ Long overdue--never once adored it/ Yeah I'm bout to focus on my own/ If it ain't about US imma leave that shit alone/ Fuck yo films and fuck yo songs/ Petty ass me like ALL YEAR LONG/ I'm just tryna be free like Andy Dufrense/ But when I get out, Imma be so clean/ Be so wise. That kid's so mean/ But when its all done imma be yo king/ Man fuck yo king--imma be yo god/ and swear to myself imma beat all odds/ Break these bars up in my dome/ Crush this world and build my own/ Beat your best then beat the rest/ ...I'm just tryna be me af/ I'm just tryna be myself/ Ripped yo script and built my dream/ Fuck yo football/basketball team/ bible thumpin' nothin not shit 'round me/ Coconut Oil Scented pick 'round me/ Imma tell you what NOBODY told me/ I rule everything that I see/ I rule everything that I see/ I rule everything that I see/ I rule everything that I see/ I rule everything that I see/ Pretty chill dude/ Cynical world view/ And the world gon' rue/ the shit that they did to me/ I be the antithesis of all entities/ tryna shame me for the power I bring with me/ villainy/ (J-Bush) From now on I believe in all the fake shit/ gained sight to the code in the matrix/ Yeah--I got new world view/ and the mirror seein' more than the victim of a slave ship/ I see beyond a face of a man/ I'm amazed cause I'm lookin at the god within/ I arrived at the point where my hips not joint/ to the world so I don't identify with being atheist/ Yeah--and that's settin' me free/ cause not believing in god's/ Not believing in me/ I gotta...new grind/ Lettin' light shine/ from the heart/ so I never take the mark of the beast/ And I'll...Never take another L/ Even though the world tellin' me I'm gonna fail/ Well, its all good cause I love self/ And to be honest with ya/ There ain't really nothin' else/ I guess I'm feelin the vibe feelin the vibe/ vibratin' high as fuck/ cause I follow up/ with each rhyme/ these are the times/ look at the Signs/ No M. Night Shymalan/ Cause this plot goin' down light a cannon ball/ And each line got the whole world fannin' off/ Cause it's hot like sand on Panama/ Beach/, cause I just reach/ Through every obstacle--searchin' for peace/ Follow my lead/ by being yourself/ cause I couldn't be them/ I could only be me/ (yeah, yeah)/ AF/ Way left/ Like the hand on my heart in my chest/ I take this vow to renew this pledge/ and submit to become/ God in the flesh/ Oh yes, yes/ ME AF Tea tree in my afro/ Green tea in my glass tho/ 月にかわっておしおきよ That's Japanese in my raps, yo/ Gundam Seed on my hard drive/ Marvin Gaye when I part thighs/ So that's freakmode at midnight/ and anime by "Sunrise"/ I used to be a self-hatin' negro/ hyper criticism of my people/ but I left the old me in a deep Hole/ and the new me is piloting the Big O/ And I'm stepping on my captors/ castin' black magic/ Save spot, slay boss--back to problack shit/ SS Melanin quick, No practice/ Me AF get ki blasted/ (J-Bush) Wow/ oh shit oh man/ Young black boy got a grip. God damn!/ Wasn't 'posed to take shit but commands/ And they 'bout to take it all. Take that. No hands/ Take that take that/ P.Diddy wit it/ green herb in the back/ Feel a philly with it/ Blow it out too loud so the city feel it/ Now I'm floatin' in the clouds--won't land/ Gave up on the life of the havenots/ But ain't gotta sell dope by the crack spot/ Yeah, I found the key to the padlock/ and gained self worth without actin' like a mascot/ Black God that's me. Dread loc hat free/ Flyin' through the city like a ghost/ headed to the top/ from the bottom/ and I'd never thought I'd find em/ So gon' give that young man a toast/ Go.

Zenkai Power 03:03
It all started with my first dose of pain/ Fell off my bike, filled my shirt up with stains/ Mouth full of blood, parents showed me love/ Told me I was strong for the way I maintained/ Told me life gets worse its a very grave game/ But what don't kill you makes great change/ A decade and a half came and it passed/ Now I'm standin' in the grass at my father's grave like/ "Damn this is only the beginnin?/ I'd rather end it now instead of copin with these feelins/ Get attached; tell everybody bye/ If you make it even longer you watch everybody die."/ Can I do it? I think I can! Full throttle! Super Saiyan/ So when I'm near death but don't die, I come back stronger than ever--that's Zenkai!" (Chorus) でてこいとびきり ZENKA POWER! When they all die, when the money gone When I fail it all/ When I stand alone/ I come back from dark places with the most light when I shine I turn faces/ During plight still fight power level raises/ Zenkai! We survive through the worst cases/ So when an MC rips off my sickest flow/ I regenerate like the arm of piccolo/ Zenkai, if you don't know what it is/ it's what kept me on the edge without jumpin' off the bridge/ Think of what it'd do for your kids!/ A little optimism could increase a will to live/ I spit that Gohan-pops-died-and-so-on-birds-in-his-eye-and-then-he-cries-and-goes-blonde/ So mad cause I'm rare and they can't be me/ Solar Flare to the haters cause they can't see me/ Confidence is my ultimate attack/ Not even king kai can prepare you for that!/ Chorus When a Saiyan is half dead/ And ain't got enough to live/ Zenkai Power's the process/ That makes him get up again/ In the real world we ain't got that/ That's why I picked up the pen/ Cause happiness is the object/ So get the fuck up and live!/ If suicide's at an all time high...then I gotta raise my power level higher/ We all know its a cold world!...that's why I gotta spit that fire/ So when you're knocked out the sky...tell em that you're flying down!/ And don't you ever forget!...to leave a crater when you hit the ground!/

Johan 02:30
it started off a whisper, turned into a holler I held it in at ease but my grip began to falter/ Gnawing on the innards of my center unbothered/ I tried to pray to god but it led me from the alter/ I cried about the fury and the strife/ But the world brushed it off as another part of life/ The demon inside was with me through the plight/ I trust it/ I relaxed and let em have another bite/ fuck it/ Plus it/ promised me incredible strength/ motivated me to basically stay on the defense/ All approaching objects/ be targets/ Claiming friendship will leave you dead and discarded/ And I don`t give a fuck about a brother or an ally/ All of yall the same if you ain`t cutting through this barbwire/ Keepin me contained/ trapped to this behemoth/ Whose misanthropic views I am starting to agree with/ It’s a mother fuckin wonder why I never thought to plunder back/ Monster in me bigger now plottin on our next attack/ I don`t give a fuck what you label me or see me as/ All of ya hatred's become an aphrodisiac/ Deem me as "defiant"/ a "demon on a ragin` path"/ We all know you`ve always had an ache to blast/ Free at last aint a phrase that i stated/ After being weak, docile and sedated/ Played with fire /Made ya bed You still don`t get where the chaos bred from/ Bread crumbs… leading right back to yall/ The sole reason ya empire`s bout to fall Cause the back that you built it all on/ bout to stand the fuck up with its sword all drawn/ No yawn cause the monster don`t sleep/ The power`s gohan but the mind Johan/

Stray Bullet 01:47
Sunlight side swipes my sleepin'/ "God damn it imma love this weekend!"/ Tea tree coconut just seep in/ High off self-love--I breathe in/ No foes/ just pros I'm con-less/ Dispel my woes when prompted/ Adjust my volume promptly/ No thoughts--just shakin' and vibin/ How often do you think about the warmth of a coffin/ Stray bullets from a war uninvolved in?/ What caused them?/ I'm coughin/ All I see is my mama's missed calls/ Rear view shows the past few broads/ lovin' me while I just looked on/ Wonder how this life moves on/ My voice echoes to nowhere/ My dreams disperse to thin air/ All laughs I caused will bring tears/ My name alone will be spared/ All time spent on me vanquished/ Every birthday, Christmas, banquet/ Every lesson I learned proved worthless/ Cause my body goin' in to earth quick/ This biochemical mail, made of infinitesimal cells/ DNA strands, every word that I said/ All wiped away by a tiny piece of lead/ NAH--ain't a heaven for a G/ An A or a B/ Or a C for that matter/ And if there's a "plan" for my brains to get splattered/ I curse all creators till I am but matter--I'm GONE!/ This body is not a shell...

(ILL-Vain)Damn shame you could never witness/ Ya boy's plight turned flight/ off to new beginnings/ I had my head down often back when you were living/ Bc that chemical imbalance gave me skewered visions/ Now i see the power in me you mythologized/ I wrote you off cause i was lost and I apologize/ I got crew world wide/ lady by my side/ And the place I reside/ land of Sun Rise/ I know it sounds odd but i waved them waves bye/ Along with the faith/ replaced with good vibes/ But i still listen to my inner intuitions/ Invokin you when im facing tough decisions/ I channel you when right and wrong identical/ Storm clouds pour moonlight or when I need a mircale/ I just keep mind who i look like in mirror/you/ Damn shame youll never see what I was geared to do/ Got a lady with ethereal smiles… damn shame you won't be around/ Every demon from the past be inferior now/ damn shame you won't be around/ my clinical depression far behind by miles/ Living in japan aint so mystical now/ Still cynical as fuck but the usual clown/ HA/ I feel like I'm stubborn as ever/ And Imma be that way if its for worst or for better/ For years I kept a smile hopin to keep it together/ But all that fake emotion did was keep me tethered/ To the ground and on a chain ain't no way that a bird should live/ So imma spread my wings feel like I'm leaving the earth again/ And I don't mean it like how I used to get high/ More like how you would throw me up and tell me reach for the sky/ Mama told you not to drop me you ain't do that shit once/ All your consistence i was given, now im livin it up/ Remember in the hospital when you didnt get up/ The time you found me in my dreams and told me never give up/ so I didn't and now I'm feelin' like nothin can sweat me/ And if I doubt it I remember the words that you left me/ So in truth I keep it poppin' confessions confetti/ And even though you went to heaven you'll never forget me/ I'm still kneeling at the thrown when I'm back in town/ (damn shame you ain't been around) Ya grandson becomin' a genius you can see that now/ (damn shame you ain't been around) They tell me I'm like you every day and I don't believe it/ but when them emotions is steamin' yo I swear I can see it/ So when they ask you who the king is I'm gon show 'em the crown/ (Damn Shame you ain't been around)

SST 03:50
From the moment i seen't it I knew that i could achieve it I closed my eyes and stopped breathin Opened my mouth, started screamin/ Soon enough i got bored of it/ No sign of metamorphosis,/ vapor leaks from my pores n shit,/ Or that aura shit/ Course I did/ i bet/ you prolly did too/ Super Saiyan 1 or was it double S 2?/ The imagery still sticks to me/ but really what does it mean/ What's this yearning/ for transforming into something pristine/ Somethin greater than I/ Yet something buried inside/ Somethin callin for me/ to just ascend to the sky/ But the voice is but an echo from the back of cave/ Barricaded by my worries, faults, fears and self hate/ My real state which I crave is prolly fadin away/ In my effort to appease all the peers in my day/ Maybe the path to goin TRILL aint a journey afar/ Its a journey of discoverin the trill that you are/ (Hook) Let me tell you bout a secret technique/ A training process that is trully unique/ Channel all energy to the person you be/ Self-Love is the key pushin' you to your peak/ Transform----go SST! Transform---GO SST! I shouldve known they weren't friends of mine/ I let em chain me down and keep ya man confined/ I let the words of another change ya mans design/ As if ya man should be ashamed of being damn divine/ So that demon fox seal is off/ I wont yield or halt/ Til the deity in me has wrought/ But honestly I could only hold me at fault/ I had the key, gave it up and let em lock the vault/ So I unlearned the lessons and the reason, selfdetestin', the deceiving and aggression that them demons taught/ And I retrieved the blessings and lessons of my brethren all components of my essence i believed were lost/ My iller state is there/ in my ego like a lair/i could reach it if I dare/penetrate these walls/ And shed layer after layer after layer after layer after layer after layer like matroshyka dolls/ and transform/ (hook) Beast mode and now i flow like Leviathan You in deep shit if its you a I feast my eyes upon Off sight alone, foes babble on--quick, fold, fall, Babylon/ I'm not the one to tattle on/ Gon' leave them words alone/ Quit it...stop it/ I see what's in ya pocket/ Gon' head...Pop it/ But bullets can't tarnish the embodiment of knowledge/ I come back resurrected--7Dragonballs provided/ I don't let the universe limit my options to Red or Blue Pill in the hands of Bill Cosby/ I'm alright with the hard life--why bother?/ Ya'll can take a long hike in all whites like Oscars/ Students never seen a teacher like me come through/ lining up to see that line up like Bonnaroo/ My class has mo' laughs than black BBQs/ That's education with ILL's sick point of view/ (Hook)
