VERSE the design has been elevated state of mind highly concentrated i made an attempt for the sky and straight levitated and that's an understated cause and effect you ought to respect before you find your jaws in your neck you saw in retrospect that your style was dominated bent on confidence you commence to underestimating take a moment to think before you quickly respond my minds gone you don't know the kind of shit that i'm own i search the end of the earth to converge where the facts are you don't run shit you're a treadmill track star we cast our shadow where ever you stand when i slam i send a tremor that'll ripple the land i'll cripple you man now understand i am the freak shit i rock so hard oceans get seasick when it hits i'm sending out sound wave tsunamis with the death step the immortal kamikaze VERSE every minute feels like infinite addreline whenever you're living in a time where dying is a synonym for given in i find it necessary to bury my vocabulary inside my pride and hide it deep within looking for a way out keep my thoughts way out and now i'm watching for it all to play out if it don't feel ill then every sentence wrong twenty-four hours a day and four minutes a song i keep it real now watch the blood trickle and spill beats thump and cause a ripple in the water that's still it's time for the onslaught now how to you feel without the proper destruction tell me how do you build NOW I CAN BREAK IT DOWN LIKE WHENEVER YOU WANT and i can fuck your head up whenever you front i'm too bad and that's too bad for ya'll cause i came too far up to be down to fall CHORUS you feel the presence when there's nothing in sight something feels wrong but it feels so right like a nightmare but not inside of a dream we manifest fears otherwise unseen you feel the presence when there's nothing in sight something feels wrong but it feels so right like a nightmare but not inside of a dream mr. i we put the i in team VERSE i'm shifting through dimensions like a shaman and shit shooting shots of ayahuasca for the dmt trip you seeing me seemly slip into a new reality but actually you don't know the half of my duality style while fallacies pile i compile truths more importantly i put them to use while most abuse the power they gain though this ain't the same i flame throw through that evil terrain in the name of evolution the solutions in hindsight so why fight for god in the idol's twilight as i sight the reference points of my own progression and focus on applying the lessons in my profession the session is continuous blessing isn't ending unless i'm deep in a crate you're living in a state between asleep and awake we create the dope i hope you're keeping it straight CHORUS you feel the presence when there's nothing in sight something feels wrong but it feels so right like a nightmare but not inside of a dream we manifest fears otherwise unseen you feel the presence when there's nothing in sight something feels wrong but it feels so right like a nightmare but not inside of a dream mr. i we put the i in team

CHORUS this goes out to all the crews that never made it the undiscovered overlooked and the underrated you gotta get down to get up i said you gotta get down to get up this goes out to all the crews that never made it the undiscovered overlooked and the underrated you gotta get down to get up i said you gotta get up to get down what VERSE some of the illest to spark it never found a market aiming ain't the hard part it's finding the right target there's only so far to go on being dope no joke you gotta go for yours or else you'll go broke and i quote cash rules everything around me yo i'm drowning feels like the dollar bill surrounds me pounding my heart beats though still just because you need the green don't mean you can't be real i put the power in my thought so my mind could learn i've invested now it's time to see the return fuck concern you gotta put your chips down hard look in their eyes first before you look at your cards i was dealt a lot of skill with some will on the side so i drew from the deck until i owned some drive but i've seen a lot of cats not in the same shoes as me doing it up but ain't got the same fluency they work hard but disregard their weaker parts while others born dope die and never leave a mark don't even start i've seen more than my share heard in the city of the illest where nobody cares CHORUS this goes out to all the crews that never made it the undiscovered overlooked and the underrated you gotta get down to get up i said you gotta get down to get up VERSE i need a vision ok i have one some have it all some have none i saw two mics had to grab one aswell grabbed the other suckers catch a bad one this my life i'm bout to live it up it was god given i ain't bout to give it up to the likes of the way the world will break you down negative hands touch but won't take me down i'm bout to rise above people show me love people show me hate i gotta concentrate i gotta motivate yo i got them moves to make never shake the ground because i'm all about improving fate now don't wait for me i'll catch up to you without the proper skills what good will a rep do you i represent sent every word i meant meant this was heaven sent sent to me take a hint hint if you got it too please embellish it if you don't the point of your life is irrelevant be intelligent unless you ain't that and be the freshest if you know that you ain't wack CHORUS this goes out to all the crews that never made it the undiscovered overlooked and the underrated you gotta get down to get up i said you gotta get up to get down what

CHORUS it's a matter of time it's a matter of rhyme it's a matter of the matter being under the mind it's matter of free thought that can't be confined it's a matter of open eyes that walk around blind it's a matter of sound that falls on deaf ears the words get blurred and the message disappears it's a matter of this it's a matter of that it's a matter of fortune it's a matter of fact VERSE yes yes ya'll i say ya'll cause ya'll know the place where my feet are planted and my seed grows i need no explanation for the way i am a product of the logic of the state that i am in a little white with a north cackalac ah yes the opposite of hip-hop but opposites attract i guess i rock fresh cause my soul gave the go head so listen to the rhymes and let the beat bob your head that's what this is about no doubt about that motherfuckers see me rapping don't know how to react don't know how to adjust yet at least not just yet just get ready i ain't your average suspect i'm hip-hop all week you're only on the weekend got my feet wet before swimming in the deep until day break i gotta beacon of light that's why my hunger lies awake when i'm sleeping at night INFINITELY I'm trying to keep it in a rhythm but ever man's rhythm is a victim of time and time's given that's a little time taken from the big dream that happens the moment i awaken at night i fall asleep but never fall too deep with infinite steps time will ever secrete a promise only time can keep it's all on beat time even quantizes the emotions i speak it's a lose lose battle in a win win state of mind the watch reminds that the clock's greater greater than me and greater than you the shoes on your feet walk you in a clockwise loop now i ain't saying give up by any means time is on your side it ain't you enemy it's a friend to me keeps me moving making it hot whether life is a circle or just a line and a knot we got to figure this thing out it's complicated my burdens are paper weights feelings are levitated over drums for the circumstance by chance may they enhance someone sometimes rhymes fall short in the scheme of things so keep dreaming things when it all comes down you gotta keep your weight up cause time keeps on ticking and it won't wait up INFINITELY CHORUS it's a matter of time it's a matter of rhyme it's a matter of the matter being under the mind it's matter of free thought that can't be confined it's a matter of open eyes that walk around blind it's a matter of sound that falls on deaf ears the words get blurred and the message disappears it's a matter of this it's a matter of that it's a matter of fortune it's a matter of fact
