I’m a student of the American Revolution that hasn’t happened yet Humanity’s international destiny manifest A war that’s by and for the giant corporations proves the case Of an organized workforce to fight nothing to lose but chains The vast majority of the human race can’t support their needs In Haiti they eat clay biscuits but that’s of course unseen Two classes bourgeoisie and proletariat There’s those that barely lift a finger the owners very rich They hold these great lowly paid droves each stays broke Because there aint no peace ‘till we control these J.O.B.s Vote in who’s runnin’ the modes of production Install a socialist structure after the old one is crushed first I’m blowing the cover of slave owners and mother earth plunderers A rose of another names still the same as the other was We target victims in the free market system That’s why so many poor folks in this country are imprisoned Gonna take it to the system gonna smash it to pieces All of us together from the ashes a phoenix No republican or democratic allegiance Just justice and peace is needed Value comes from labor so power to the wage earner Now who employs takes one’s worth thats how true exploitation works If the poor combine to form a giant organized force to fight For their rightful portion size the form decided on is your design Democratic economy for wants and needs logically We have the technology to vanquish poverty and accomplish peace Abandon the profit seeking philosophy rampant today Capital aims to expand and inflate and that is to blame for the planet’s decay Iconoclastic actions against that that back the status quo Combat establishment which has in fact abandoned Average Joe Impact unimaginable damage of a massive scope That’s just underhanded low some acquiesce abandon hope The man demands you bust your ass for scant cash ‘til your back is broke Callus hands of staff advance to management a chance remote That is what the masses have to tackle just to hack it I’ve had enough of that shit let’s stand as one and smash it Gonna take it to the system gonna smash it to pieces All of us together from the ashes a phoenix No republican or democratic allegiance Just justice and peace is needed

Refuse 02:56
Where do we put stuff for other people to use? Not long by the curbside for someone a superb find Is there a community chest or is it just refuse For one man a burn pile to another a turnstyle How can someone be broke when they’re working two jobs And spending every cent on medicine and food cost How can the major shareholders do nothing productive We’re busting our butts just to cough up the profits from what we’ve constructed Fuck this How come it is one with abundance and hundreds with nothing We’re driving busses cleaning ovens pressing buttons run shit Sweat from our brows converge the breadth of the nile That paycheck just came out is disrespecting my style Where do we put stuff for other people to use? Not long by the curbside for someone a superb find Is there a community chest or is it just refuse For one man a burn pile to another a turnstyle Swan dive in the marketplace online to discard your waste for a few bucks Buying new stuff why when there’s too much produced that we’re still trying to use up Pizzas a vegetable in school lunch- preposterous Lobbyist dominance the loss of the commons is ominous We survived the mayan dying date so what provides our fate? Ultraviolet rays or climate change or good old fashioned primal rage But you and I are safe when they assign the blame it wasn’t us Running the modes of production and fucking up

Bluetality 05:00
Without Justice sure as hell aint no peace Black kid gets shot and his killer goes free Call it self defence ‘cuz of a little nose bleed Took six whole weeks to arrest him- fuck the police Don’t gotta have a glock in hand or any type of contraband To get stopped and harassed even shot in the back it’s awful sad ask Oscar Grant Revolution music we don’t do things slow gotta smash racism and the New Jim Crow We musn’t forget- necesitamos tener cuidado So Ima do this for Amadou Diallo follow The 13th amendment’s exemption of them in detention same slavery different form More black men today behind prison doors than slaves at the start of the civil war Caucasions hate on Trayvon because he fought back But when they gave their daughters cans of pepper spray expect the same Share solidarity not life experience when not black Combat dog tags from a Dred Scott past That’s the sound of oppression heard Lining up black men on curbs Who do they protect and serve? The real sound of the police They blame the victim when there’s pain inflicted that they don’t see Alan Blueford and two friends just finished watching the fight And were waiting for a ride at 12o’clock in the night A cop car was driving by in response to dropped dimes Saw some black guys and thought they might be involved in some crimes Turned off the headlights glock pulled- surprise! Alan ran and bang got shot from behind Not drunk or high and weaponless just so it’s understood That trigger happy pig then shot himself in the fucking foot Good- that’s one back from Sean Bell Leaving 49 for these swine sending them to hog hell Reaction beats act we’ve seen Katrina breaching Army dams Stop and frisk apocalypse they shot and killed Ramarley Graham Where’s the party at? Victory drinks When the whole community links and we bring down the ceiling on the precinct Less uniforms more jobs schools and farms We’ve got some work to do before the boys in blue dissarm That’s the sound of oppression heard Lining up black men on curbs Who do they protect and serve? The real sound of the police They blame the victim when there’s pain inflicted that they don’t see The origins of racism resources of plantations forced to go to waste From shortages of labor which importing men as slaves sure fixed Morals in the way are switched horrors are ok with different shaded skin Hate deliberately created made them rich Lower class caucasions and those emancipated Could overthrow the capitalist state hegemony if both would stand and face the enemy No one can prevail separately so began race supremacy Spread to suppress with a wedge between the people defense succeeds

80D 03:58
Ready set go, when he says so Heads will explode on many levels Knock socks off without your velcro shell toes Who the hell knows for whom the bell tolls Yes I do take dabs of butane hash in a new A's hat After boom came bap then a poop stained rap In the middle of Virginia with middle fingers up It's hitting, bruh, like if it comes to lyrical physical fisticuffs Underground like playing dig dug 99 problems 86 fucks Lambast those ramshackle ham-hand flows- all amiss Call it quits caught against Scott Sliuazis and Psyopsogist Jamming flows down your esophagus cough and spit As if choking on a cantaloupe vomiting back up prose So that you know I speak to each from chic elite to average Joe Freak a beat decently seems to me please keep casual Here comes the rain thundering under same white trash bag unashamed Fucking stay in front a phrase like hash tags Underground like playing dig dug 99 problems 86 fucks Arcane mechanics if it’s broke you gotta order parts Calculated magic torn apart by performance arts Escape the labyrinth before it’s dark or meet your fate This doesn't seem germane- the worm in the apple the teacher ate Whirs and beeps from the murky deep of mercury server speed Your machine circuitry certainly needs urgent refurbishing When did you experience electric shock? Currently Never meddle with treble level LFO envelope murder spree Underground like playing dig dug 99 problems 86 fucks Nowadays are cloudy baking brownies blazed- guffaw Cannabis scented phantom manuscript animus endless sentence run-on Sank your battleship gun drawn, rap for a month long Imagine an amateur handling battle, man come on Which average producer can say this track isn't superb's talking shit Back to the future when Biff crashed in manure Great Scott! Think you got the tie that binds- frayed knot Working overtime to blow your mind like Kurt Cobain shot Underground like playing dig dug 99 problems 86 fucks Life's made of sine waves up and down like trumpet valves Gutter mouth cussing loud unannounced- fucking hell Underwhelmed someone help, talk amongst yourselves All is well where monsters dwell I'm bald with spells like Gargamel Peaks and troughs repeated often shape snakes make Keep it on until a later sideways eight date This is my attempt at artful with the message garbled My words will send a jarful of severed third metacarpals Underground like playing dig dug 99 problems 86 fucks I'm a smith of words written verse literature if your sure give it your signature Live and learn 'till digging dirt to fit what's in the hearse Ouch that gigahertz, fear no evil or placebo Panacea egotistic people we don't see those Reticence in the past, present tense in your grasp If you’re meddling with advanced mathematics better not skip a class My building's glass and filled with cracks could split in half but still intact Switch the plans- aristocratic villains have to finish last Operations psychological, got the nation by hair follicles, basis economical The waves that come from pond ripples rhyme flow in small trickles 'Cuz I'm cold and pipes froze, on tonight's show like Don Rickles Nonsensical drivel gibberish jabberwocky rapping off key At the Grand Ole Opry with Johnny Cash beat-boxing Who grew these beauties? Nuggets to puff and I pack bong-loads These tunes be looney abida-abida that's all, folks- sike Underground like playing disk golf 99 problems tell them all to fuck off Hip hop isn't dead anyone who says it is I'll get and rip to shreds, introspective minuet Dip a pen in ink and then switch perspective different lens Bill and Ted excellence finished when listeners have shit the bed, Uh I'm in the spot like X marks, gotta rep hard, brought my best bars, drop like depth charge Tsunami ensues got me doing laundry- powerful 'Bout to blow found a poem insurmountable now you know I'm going big like the fry size at five guys, I'd like a pie slice like 3.1459 20/20 hindsight blindsided by hive mind My light shines like the twilight night sky when I write rhymes Put fear behind eins zwei drei- there can you see what I did? Speech is a gift you experiment with, it increases your wit like The Secret of Nimh Nicodemus with written don't give a rat's ass, got more bars than pub crawls Tell you once and for all in a southern drawl- fuck y'all!

Enigma 03:32
Now phones download apps and apathy See life streamlined in real time through shattered screens Magic beans that grow to vines in six second vids A sycophant sick of it with seperatist sentiments settled in An essay explaining the best escapades and escapes- head games Plugged in the grid nothing functions checkmate How’s about we power down our browser web page All computer geeks to the streets enrage red states engage To proceed is treacherous can’t see the precipice Won’t read the messages it seems an enigma Sleepy from sedatives we need new medicine Please treat with respectfulness repeat reciprocal All the stuff is not enough until I’ve got a monster truck And have got to run over Mazdas like Tonkas- ‘Murica! Like Kirsten Dunst twerking burger suburbia thirty plus Earning what a person does in Serbia but burn weed up For real take lazy ways blaze eighths of haze play some breaks Wordsmith murders verbiage then lays ace of spades on slain remains Cray cray game like space invaders GTA EA sports we play hard Up up down down left right left right B A start To proceed is treacherous can’t see the precipice Won’t read the messages it seems an enigma Sleepy from sedatives we need new medicine Please treat with respectfulness repeat reciprocal We all exist within sovereign consciousness rocks amidst a broad abyss All it is is parlor tricks and politics Carrot on a stick says an arrogant economist The problem is marriage is acknowledged if you’re opposite But like likes like ride with night bike lights Won’t get side swiped twice this is a hype rhyme ‘ciph Heavy hitters- what’s that baseball card worth? Are you a Walmarter or an awol martyr?

Falcor 03:27
Started on the ground floor now I’m high like Falkor Not quite a star a brown dwarf like to harvest outdoor 2016 ground score habitable rapping tempo crowd roar Imaginable that simple amateurs with practice get dope That depends though on what you’re down for Whatever one lever fulcrum better pull it Expect some bullshit when it’s lead expulsion then I’ll catch the bullet Middle finger raised gesticulate from bully pulpit Art snob heart throb party monster Macaulay Culkin Microphone to preamp said we don’t need that feedback Light up this weed green lantern say fight for fifteen SeaTac Rolling up real slow just like my feet dragging Ghost like Bilbo when he defeat dragon Careful is imperative or meat wagon This MC stinks but the beats banging OG pros decode these flows learn something didn’t know before Only four companies make everything in your grocery store Aw snap Scott’s rap talks smack y’all as small as some crawdads Support performance more than combat jock straps on y’all ballsacks Everyplace is different once you cross the Mason-Dixon Saying shit can make you quick the latest victim way it is State Virginia on the James River- you may have heard of it ‘Cuz RVA is burgeoning like rage in Ferguson And I’m higher than Maynard Ferguson can play in perfect pitch Wordsmith with the smartest sharpest harshest darkest chained superlatives This may just hurt a bit pain surges in your ear canal can you hear me now? Fear and doubt increase as routes get near the south uh He grunts once cuz he loves it when the subs bump If it wasn’t turnt up someone other than us must have fucked it up Trumpet and percussion played in tux and cumberbun Because I’ve won the cup the runner up gets nothing but an uppercut Mellow folks playing tunes as smooth as cello notes These fellows know I’m hella dope on a level seldom known Tell ‘em so with megaphones or keep your trap zipped Once we leave earth that’s it we’ll never land like Peter Pan shit Dub T the baddest

Sitting pretty there’s no trouble in river city Where the bricks bleed history skin deep Richmond enrich me Isn’t it pretty living in Richmond City this is Scott’s Addition To monuments and awesomeness caution walking on those cobblestones so Shockoe Slippery Talks cheap on broad street- Got heat? The Fan’s cool Probably gonna see a lot of these tattoos more than a scant few From Oregon hill you can see the James there’s more a chill when the seasons change And leaves enflame wardrobes rearrange you should see this place Rock the Belle Isle drinking swimming chilling style Rock climb wave hi to kayaks that pass by on class fives Sitting pretty there’s no trouble in river city Where the bricks bleed history skin deep Richmond enrich me Our Church Hill isn’t Winston but we’re mercilessly winning If this is a civic competition you heard definitely Richmond Different than my hitherto Franciscan existence Living in the Mission District which was hip as shit and I miss it In the RVA there’s seldom suckers and hardly fakes Where people get up early and they party late Arteries paved with cobblestones gotta know your history Lombardy and Main so long ago where trollies go Richmond enrich me Sitting pretty there’s no trouble in river city Where the bricks bleed history skin deep Richmond enrich me It’s a nice day want to go to Maymont a straight shot Past Byrd park I’m very in love with the area just a work of art Hike by where the current surges and the Heron searches for fish Pipeline- a sandy beach to have a seat and bide time Great landscape that makes eighth graders take a pic that’s not a selfie Pour a little drink out for them poor folks in the Commonwealthy Beats bounce like a bouncer telling you “please pay a cover” If VA’s for lovers dub t came with rubbers

Chompsky 03:42
Korea Vietnam Iraq we’ve bombed them all Both Congress and the Oval Office won’t stop it Whoever you select to represent you red or blue If elected soon forget the new direction proven an effective tool of deception A clever ruse give credit due success with few exceptions through A sense of uselessness in youth and network news ineptitude US troops sent you bet soon death through Inhuman ruthless cruel abusses do ensue The terrorist forces of America storm in and declare the resources are Theirs to extort but Arabs endure and resist the arrogant war Retired generals hide their mental childishness behind their medals Lie dissemble while dissent grows violence levels rising ten fold Try and get both tribal sects broke- divided men won’t fight But when whole you might as well fold oft times a threat posed Calls for fighter jets those conquered by US know Loss of rights suppressed votes copper wire electrodes occupiers M.O. My banner isn’t star spangled it’s Marx Engles Lennin and Trotsky Douglass Luxemburg Chomsky Every penstroke’s a manifesto a deathblow On capital’s threshold with strangled breath spoke demanding you let go Radio silence deprive the prying eyes of spies and tyrants Wiretap environment nothing with a microchip is private Remember when today became NSA surveillance day Our rights didn’t fade away they’ve been anally raped since slavery days Exchanges we make what you say is being saved complete invasion read my name Delete my complete file CIA allows us to live free die chained These spy planes and unmanned drones fuckin blow up a whole bunch of homes Want gun control? Pull the plug on programs such as those Yes I have a problem with Democrat apologists Who’d never have such politics unless it has Obama’s wit Rippin my gigabytes Hitler-like it isn’t right From democracy to Stasi in a signature strike Chelsea Manning free her leave Edward Snowded alone What Assange exposed is gonna take more than outvoting gotta overthrow ‘em Not just politicians but the billionaires behind Iran Contra chopper fodder rhyme fall in line My banner isn’t star spangled it’s Marx Engles Lennin and Trotsky Douglass Luxemburg Chomsky Every penstroke’s a manifesto a deathblow On capital’s threshold with strangled breath spoke demanding you let go So you’re the boss at corporate job scored the top floor colossal corner office Order jobs outsourced across the border profits soar impoverished Poor downtrodden bore the cost extort and rob a fortune bought A Porsche a yacht a gorgeous hottie pouring coffee or a scotch Subordinates often form the thought it’s more they want Sure but not before their rotting corpse is gone Like Gorbachev’s forehead spot

La Luna 04:10
A sequence constructed using machines as percussion Technology’s the propulsion digital levers and fulcrums Multiple features and functions so you should read the instructions Confusing speaking in tongues takes more than beating the buttons A chimpanzee with a drumstick? No sir I’m a composer Did my homework long ago learned how the notes work Buffalo herd soldier rapping over reggae rhythms The white male’s paid different that perpetuates racism Great inequality in the labor economy Education does not equal job placement for all people Graduate with a law degree- face even stronger descrimination Changing wage with race just aint how it oughta be I write music get it fine tuned then rhyme to it New insight that’s true and wise or fool’s advice you decide I’m holding onto this microphone it’s positive The radio’s the opposite- there’s so much talking shit I like the beat percussive rough as fuck when I drop rhymes Like I swung an uppercut that struck up under your jaw line Drums tougher than rawhide left in the sun for a long time I’ll do nothing to spawn violence spirits cultured and thoughts wise When confronted I pause smile like you fucked with the wrong guy Pumped up muscles just get crushed when up against strong mind Put a nug in my small pipe puffed it and got high My lungs are like on fire but fuck it it’s alright Come in humble unpresumptuous get along fine But I’ll tug a rug from under a big strut and a tall stride Everyone as a small child has instructors they’re taught by Whos punishments draw lines and forms the structure of wrong right This country if not blind sees shit upside-down cross-eyed Hiding under a rock while it’s like Republicans gone wild Let a couple of laws slide and all of a sudden it’s lost rights And “That’s the way it is” like I’m a young Walter Cronkite La Luna Practical application of actual math equations Pack a bowl relax and blaze it it’s apropos to raise a glass and toast At the dance with no chaperone an average joe That’s bad to the bone understanding a poem’s like cracking a code Figurative language transmitted from a sat dish In the upper bandwidth and we’re picking up some static Syllables arranged to dull the pain your skull contains Sometimes their difficult to say fast as bulls in spain or bullet trains Marching our feet at the speed of a heartbeat All I needs my car keys piece of dark meat and a decent party All three seem in arms reach don’t ask for much I have enough Can’t get stuck scrambling up the corporate ladders rungs Never find a faster tongue or blacker lungs in all the land A sack of nugs as contraband old fashioned under modern man Saved the best one for last so pay attention My raps a dangerous weapon when you catch it like H1N1 When creative juices flow I flip the on switch Dip my face into the notes and sip harmonics Get up on it- send my brain into a zone When the bass all super low like you played the Sousaphone That’s the way a tune’s composed methodically turn thought to beat From soft and sweet like lobster meat to hard rock like a cobble street But it’s not complete all it needs is rhymes go get a glossary Then talk to me- I got that shit in a bag like a colostomy So now you’ve got the secret I’ve been keeping under lock and key So all you sweet tooth never floss emcees can bite with rotten teeth I often meet a lot of theifs that want to breech my sovereignty and copy But not me- I burn dem like the pot leaf Don’t battle cuz Scott’s against capital punishment Does it have to all come to this you’ll get ravaged by drums and synths Rappers and junglists know their ass better come equipped When I pass ‘em the thunder stick they best have on some oven mitts

To say I am blessed is an understatement at best I’m acing it just like I’m taking the test place your bets RVA gets repped to the Frisco Bay respect Entertaining as laser pens chased by pets when I play a set Watagwan bacchanal pack it up pass it off Have to cough Padawan? Flow fast as y’all Aderol Cannonball splash in acid cannibal nom nom On soft raw vocal chords of rappers like wontons There’s salvation in the bass drum so I praise some 808 thumps Patience is a virtue might hurt you if vibrations anxious Keep your eyes closed and hope the reaper rides slow Everywhere that I go get your mind blown by live shows And everyone who sees me from Leigh Street to DC Leaves tweeting yee yee playing D U B T CDs on repeat On the wheels of steel got more cuts than that demon Sweeny of Fleet Street Three sheets to the wind for the win weekly green leaf’s beastly Seymore feed me Know it is nice don’t waste time rolling the dice- snake eyes Pace and I got that frame of mind like a cloaking device Keep your eyes closed hope that the reaper rides slow Treat you like Data bro tell you to make it so Put on the greatest show since Game of Thrones on HBO No such thing as magic this was crafted with practice And hasbeens romanticize about the apparatus and fantasize Their talent is half as bad as the status of master Instead of calves put to pasture no last words With no gestation period a baby alien appears And then pirouettes I’m serious ok one beer then bed This is audio transmitted from the mars rover Little green men team member card holder Staying lost in space until the bar closes stars glowing Beats sweet enough to charm cobras Microphone hand wrist arm shoulder mechanism It’s all for naught when thoughts aren’t focused Built a spaceship with bubble wrap and a car motor So I can start over when this yellow star novas Know it is nice don’t waste time rolling the dice- snake eyes Pace and I got that frame of mind like a cloaking device
