Never understood what it meant to be homesick Till I left it all and I feel it so quick Every other day in the pit of my stomach And I just wanna go back, feel the flow of it The sand surrounds my feet Sensation seems like home The scent of salt is sweet, the sound of waves can sooth my soul Sunset a sight to see A taste of rain in the cold It just envelops me and I don't ever want to go If you haven't heard of me I'm guessing it's high time I'll be on the beach basking under my lime light and if you wanna find me, look up sky high and you'll see me above the L. A. Skyline You'll see me above the L.A. Skyline Let's take a trip to the place that birthed me Soul Khan said it best when he took that journey so I feel a heavy burning inside of my chest and it's for L.A. surely This sudden state I'm in Simply just screams for home My streets have songs to sing and under the summer sun they show This spirit seldom sleeps This essence keeps me warm It is a part of me and I will never let it go, so If you haven't heard of me I'm guessing it's high time I'll be on the beach basking under my lime light and if you wanna find me, look up sky high and you'll see me above the L. A. Skyline You'll see me above the L.A. Skyline

She had the most colorful eyes that he had run into And when they looked up from the ground man they were beautiful He wanted no more than to give her unconditional Love and affection, the kind she'd never seen before And she accepted him, hesitant at first She felt she didn't deserve him, but all he'd want is her He reassured he she's the reason why his world turned but with her history of pain it's hard to believe his words He nave gave up, his intentions, they persisted And after so long, he could no longer resist it Her fragile mind said no, but her heart it would insist it She couldn't help the tingles on her hand after he kissed it They spent they're time together, but at home a different scene She couldn't understand why her mother was so mean She put her down and told her that she didn't mean a thing If mom was different then she wouldn't bleed And she went away All those faces were to blame And though those faces change The pain remains the same And she went She went and cried into his arms Told him all the hurtful things that she took from her moms And he said "don't you be alarmed. As long as I'm around you, you will never feel harm" And she said "how, you aren't there all the time?" He said "I'm not but I can always try" She said "You don't know all the crazy things about my life, the ugly things that make me wanna die!" Her uncle he'd get drunk and he'd try to touch and hug her And the one that's supposed to protect her says not to struggle "He's our support system baby don't cause any trouble" "Just close your eyes and he'll be over baby on the double" She wished she could escape, find herself a different scene A place where she was safe from the ugly and the mean a place where she was treasured and she'd always mean a thing, a different place where she would never bleed And she went away All those faces were to blame And though those faces change The pain remains the same And she went She went away it's been some days Her mother didn't care that she had gone and left no trace Some mail had arrived at his place And what he read in this letter put tears upon his face She said that everything was find and how people couldn't make cry now And by the time he'd read this letter she'd be long gone and not to feel bad because it wasn't his fault "I'd never felt love til you came into my life and you're the reason that for this long I stayed alive" "I wanted desperately to stay for ever by your side, but I guess I had already made up my mind" "Just know that I will always love you till the end of days" "You were only peace and calm inside the disarray" "I hope that you and I can be together one day and you understand why I went away" And she went away All those faces were to blame And though those faces change The pain remains the same And she went

(Vinny Steez) we live in a world where our decisions become our future I just want you to take a step back, look at the bigger picture we've got nuclear plants falling to stage 2 A loss of power have you thinking "what did they really do?" Assume the jets leavin streams all up in the sky A mist of toxins fallin down, leavin us to die We breathe it in, then you hear all the people cry "They killin us softly!" open up your eyes The worst pain in your life Killin your kids or your wife Constantly worried if you're gonna make through the night Duckin and dodgin the slightest scratch or a bite The earth's turnin to hell, not goin down without a fight Last enemy to be destroyed is death I'mma fight for it all down to my last breath I don't really care if I end up like the rest I'm a survivor why don't you tell me what's next (Black Socks) I am cradled tightly by the hand of death And nightly I can feel its breath It gets closer by the step Hollow is the man there's nothing left Up in his chest or even mental. A mindless drone Experimental clone is how the fabric is sewn Through the media they're feedin ya these lies [Disguised by coat and ties] - ? In a fear that you might die The human alibi Now the dead walk the earth Contaminated at birth But what's a baby worth when I slaughter infected for daily work And how can society rely on me if you're just a product Wrapped and boxed up for profit You couldn't stop it if you saw it use your logic guns, violence, marshal law is now the prophet religion created martyrs, firestarters for the apocalypse banana clips loaded quick Holstered at the hip This epidemic will never quit (eddie lion) Woke up in the mornin with a pain in my head alcohol on my breath and my eyes blood red Thinkin all about the world's inevitable death, but the hell on earth is real so I'm ready for what's next So I'll set free the shackled and I'll break off the chains while I tear up foundations these "homes" need change viola! watch me turn definite into the unexplained I just need an army to walk with me through the fray So I'll gather every poor soul Bleeding through the world alone Give'em all the deadliest weapon around, I'll give them hope So the shine in their eyes can be a beacon for the destiny I've always wanted written in my horoscope So I'mma walk up to the front lines when I stand up cuz I don't wanna be a zombie to these bad ones And I'mma scream so loudly from the top of bad lungs and scream for every single spirit that once had love

I did it for the glory of it - 3x My shit is bona fide A monster Mr Hyde is who I am when all my consciousness is pushed aside Inside the pantheon is where I'll be immortalized I'll reside with gods and then together we will rule the skies So come along and witness as I find my destination I don't just reach the sky, I become a constellation And from the heavens I will bellow out a declaration to our generation that the sky is ours for domination Rely on sight and don't you listen, fuck what you heard and watch as all my actions scream louder than the words Proving every hater wrong with everything that has occured So if you think I'm falling homie I believe your vision's blurred So listen to the masses sing about the story of it About the lion's sheer will and all the glory from it The battles fought along the mountain so he reached the summit And how he'd do it all again just for the glory of it I did it for the glory of it - 3x My hustle old as time I leave'em mortified I guess that's why my shit has always been so glorified. I come from family that crossed rivers and border lines So work ain't nothin to me homie My whole grind is overtime So thank you one and all and welcome to my coronation This beat becomes the kingdom and my words the proclaimation This isn't just my service it's my fucking obligation This is the culmination of all of my dedications So give me glory, give me fame and all that I deserve I've waded through the bullshit, still undeterred and still got everybody hanging on my every word If music has a backbone, I'm the fucking spinal nerve So listen to the masses sing about the story of it About the lion's sheer will and all the glory from it The battles fought along the mountain so he reached the summit And how he'd do it all again just for the glory of it I did it for the glory of it - 6x
