Ascend 03:20
[Chorus] x2 Can we get much higher? (higher, higher) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Verse 1) Crawling at the bottom: street rat, weak rap Sewage, disgusting, un-trusting, meek crap Only wearing rags, bags, and tattered gowns Lags, sags, tears of a sad clown Struggling and surviving to make a little scratch With this kind of garbage no one would attach A poor beggar and pauper, nothing is less proper A prince to a servant, what can I offer? We're all in the gutters, but I'm looking up Drinking dirty tap water from a Styrofoam cup Glancing at the stars, mirroring my ambition Raise my position, paid the tuition Knowledge at my fingertips and my disposal So prepare yourself for my decent proposal I'll never be the best, and I know that for certain But it's a brand new day, open your curtains [Chorus] x2 Can we get much higher? (higher, higher) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Verse 2) Ascension, pretension, let me have your attention I'm the pension mentioned with every detention Imprisoned decisions provide provisions Mine, just glisten, with vivid, intentions Lifted to the utmost degree of revisions Please visit, the timid, limit, of pistons Fired up on each cylinder, I am blazing Half-man, Half-supreme, it seems I'm amazing Rags to rubies, rocking Gucci to Louie I'm the wealth you seek, just try to pursue me Paper chase, flavor race, if this is the final case Buy face, purchase grace, embroidered in silk lace A platinum Saturn, symbolize a monument A golden Poland, cover the plates and continents Hungrier, lovelier, more I'll start conquering The following is brought by the sponsoring [Chorus] x2 Can we get much higher? (higher, higher) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Verse 3) Opulence has brought me this, statuettes Fifty of the palace set, deliver it to me in jets Mercy me, mercialago, toggle the goggle Marvel at the rumble of the throttle Soul not sold to the devil, on the contrary: Diablo Pablo, dope flow, Rob Roy, bravo! Ego bolstered and cultured even more grand So please stand, give a hand to the diamond band Riding easy, prosperity, nary a rarity Nay to charity, I spend less than sparingly A prosperous rocket ship represents myself The heat I seek bubble the shuttles and melt An Einstein on the grind and in the mind But lost to the divine dimes of rhyme Time is currency currently buy a moment But if it all dries up, will it be as potent?

I went to the hospital, got checked out Two specialists decided to have a personal bout Diagnosis, prognosis, prescribed a different dosage Both doctors gave me a different result, stamp and postage Each argued with each other when my results returned A strange pair of docs is all I had learned A few more lessons I've recently discovered Peer pressure will only have you land-lubber-ed So I get bored of their games, I'm not in mood to play Either way when I roll, I'm here to say Collect go and so, if you already know I'm designed like dragon boats, I'm ready to flow Ready to row, steadily stack up columns every Autumn Meaning I make em fall in the time allotted But I still build them up, I don't sky scrape the rest Instead, I dreamt in fact I was an architect But also a republic that keeps rappers in check Meaning my signature is big money, no need to inspect Put my pen to the pad and the tracks get glad Came to box, left in a bag, my raps maximum rad Max power to the hour, take shots, Hennesey XOXO, frequently glance at the pedigree A Titan like Tennessee, they shout, Hercules! Different trials and styles, verdict: I murk with ease Perfectly, reportedly I stole this track: burglary So that means the crime is in the nerd degree! Nintendo crescendo, a classic rise Cut by the boot in the booth call it Levis Not big or small, but with two pockets in the back Blasting off without the aid rocket packs Drinking out of a juice pouch, never do I slouch Spit it from the mouth and you reply with ouch Take water, I'll make wine, take words, I'll make rhymes Been shipped up like I'm coming outta Shanghai I'm flyer than what's below your belt I deck you jokers if you didn't get what's dealt And then I'll smooth you out so it gets felt So don't hide, because then I'll have to pelt Ambidextrous flow, so you get left, right? Reading from the left-right, I'll defend my right Haters say "I'll have left" I say, "Is that right?" You get left behind because I do more than write And I've already left every passage of rite Jab with the left and finish a straight right Confusion occurring, but I already got you hooked Line's in the water, go fish if you want a book At this point, I'll be brief like Boxer's butts This is what's up, what's sharp: Lance Uppercut

Drum Roll 02:44
{Chorus} x2 Can I get a drumroll please? Drumroll Can I get a drumroll please? Drumroll [Verse 1] The air before a speech given is filled with static That magic moment that's so potent: fantastic Anticipation with complacent thoughts tonight Inflation and durations ought to fly with flight Because the main event has arrived, here I am I have survived every disaster, fear won't stand Battle scars like avatar and I rattle bars to prove it Isolated like Cinnabar, I split a star less than prudent Not just a student, I hold a black and a white belt I pelt the knowledge that's been dealt so it's really felt Triple threat, I write and act, but I think I talk to you best Lest you forget, I am the MET of this set, never regret Not talking baseball, but I am a new era like a fitted cap So with my vivid raps I finish that so we can all hear it back Raise the bass and repair the snare Tonight we're making the whole world stop and stare {Chorus} x2 Can I get a drumroll please? Drumroll Can I get a drumroll please? Drumroll [Verse 2] Fingers tapping like drum sticks against the hi hat E-r-s, I'm e-r fresh, you like that? Piano flow that flips the script like a dyslexic actor I hold keys to the city but money isn't a factor I'm the secret chord that pleased the lord Stronger than any sword or army or savage horde I orchestrate in a violin mind, not a violent grind But it's off the chain like of the rottweiler kind Deeper than a baritone, so let it be known If I've got space to roam, I'm a Caesar almost grown Like the change of the channel, switch to a soprano Blackout to nothing and start an instant scandal Musical vandal, playing from an iPod nano iTune into zunes and resume on a new panel We're major like scales, but no need to salute Just pretend I'm at the awards in my suit and... {Chorus} x2 Can I get a drumroll please? Drumroll Can I get a drumroll please? Drumroll

Mr. East 02:04
I'm almost famous so I aim this I'm not nameless, ignoramus, please play this I've got checkers not gameless, and even the lameness Claims that everyone loves me so call me Raymond Not trying to be pretentious or too conscientious But when I rep it they don't wanna mention this And that right there is preposterous Elemental rhymes, phosphorus droppin this From the esophagus of this metropolis of consciousness My rhymes in the prime, roll out, call it Optimus My posture sick and monstrous: loch ness I call my wrist Rick Roll, people keep viewing it This is the truest influences that provides nuisances I've already proven this that my ruler wit Is measured beyond the mind of mortals: it's ludicrous I do this not foolish or stupidness and I don't loosen it I've got a super spit that makes even lugers trip Seen a lotta stress, I confess and yes seeing to much fresh When I walk to my closet it's like a fest of dress That would impress the less and rest because My prepped gear from the bottom to my chest is best, yes! I stay fitted and I rip it in a minute kinda like Mr. West But I'm Mister East, not a mystery, but this beast On beats rises like yeast to a certain degree not the least Slick like I'm greased, fresh to death like I'm deceased, But I increase the peace like Priests and even flyer than Geese I've got this in abundance, my subsistence, comeuppance I rubbed this, so love it, baked and shipped out like muffins My words electric in a metric ton son, not dyslexic Or eccentric, it's synthetic and has power like kinetics And I'm never done son! So you pathetics call this a conundrum

RE: 03:02
Remix! Rising out of the flame like a phoenix You might think you've already heard or seen this But put my pinky to my brain and I'm a genius Deemed the self-esteem as steam since I dreamed it Back pack on the track to respond reflectively Redundantly I respect the previous props over and readily Over and over again on it's respective axis Rebel tactics got the world spinning all the way to Braxis A toast to a ghost and return to the roots A higher Templar absolute igniting lighter fluid I lay down the tracks so I must have a diamond back Response to that requires an attentive knack Cause I Thor over more than previously expected Ending wars with pours of knowledge redirected Are you ready for this? Prepare for the swarm It's always more real in the eye of the storm RE: MC, Master of Ceremonies RE: LV, Leveled up Victories RE: RP, Risky Preliminary RE: AD, Answered Definitely Revenge of the nerds is never as absurd as you think Return of the Jedi, Bet I, more sly than a wink Relevant intelligent, I reign with decadence Coupled with resident precedents, rule checked events Reboot if you don't shoot for the stars and galaxies Last time I remembered, rejects are in galleries Van Gogh didn't listen to one thing they said Immortalized reverently though he's far dead Many things am I, but none of them defines Put it all through a filter, purify and even refine Than perhaps, a solution created unequivocal But more confusing than literary versions of reciprocals The battlefield of my mind grows wearier each day But the requiems and ballads flow clearer each way Renowned and hated, a clown and regraded Congratulate me eventually, even if belated RE: MC, Master of Ceremonies RE: LV, Leveled up Victories RE: RP, Risky Preliminary RE: AD, Answered Definitely Regenerate and reiterate the previous status quo Zephyr weights lifted less than great on lattice glows A product of my habitat, listen to the rat-a-tat I made nothing out of something like a rabbit in a hat So reply and recall the messages spoken Poetically regrow pentameters battered and broken Relish on the remarkable and priceless statements A resplendent take from the basement to a spaceship Feel the relaxed grip around the circumference of the mic Heal the attacked Hip Hop in abundance alike A righteous kung-fu, see if they come do what I do Shoyuken like Ryu, I typhoon like isles in the sapphire blue Never restrained, uncensored and revving the engine What the game is missin, see the mission, reposition Responsible and influential on instrumentals All elemental when I rhyme from a released mental RE: MC, Master of Ceremonies RE: LV, Leveled up Victories RE: RP, Risky Preliminary RE: AD, Answered Definitely

Figures 1-3 03:48
[Verse 1] Before we explain this, let's lay down some foundation Have a little patience and let's do some preparation Inertia means things want to keep doing what they do If something is sitting down, it'll keep and continue Until something moves it out of the way with force It'll only move when it's hit with unbalanced of course With that being said, we move onto law number uno The law of inertia, similar to the one said by Galileo So, let's teach about the way things go and flow Then the more you know, the more you'll be pro A ball sitting on a table, very stable and able It's sitting still and quiet, unmoving, that's it's label Because the forces acting on it is balanced It'll be as steady as a rock with no other challenge But send another ball flying it's way Unbalanced force hits it, demonstrating it today [Verse 2] Second law of motion might seem to cause commotion But it's not magic and potions, it's easier than a quotient Remember this, the holy grail equation Force equals Mass times acceleration If you're moving a 50 kg mass at your full potential It'll move pretty fast, that's just instrumental But add more mass to make one hundred kilograms It'll go slower than molasses covered ham Each of those things are all proportional Remember F=MA and you'll end up venerable Mathematically, you can solve for missing variables It's all elementary, it's simply charitable! This law is one of the most powerful and fundamental A large component of physics, very elemental The quantitative calculation of dynamics One of the hugest cogs in the world's mechanics [Verse 3] See it all around you, yes it is true All of these laws, 1 and 2, happening around you Including number three, let me help you see This is the last one to learn, go ahead and breathe Third law of motion is a simple statement But the things it influences will have you in amazement For every action an equal reaction For ever small fraction, an equal transaction Look at the world, and you can spot an example A sample: the flame and flicker of a candle The fire reacts with the chemical on the wick And with the air around it, yeah, it's pretty slick How about the majestic blast of a rocket? The gasoline from the engine, no don't knock it Now you know all of these things, so you can profit Of having these laws pat down, snug in your pocket

Brother 03:06
[Intro] I had to do it myself I had to do it myself despite what they thought I mean, if I didn't, who would? You gonna love me man Whats up man? (Whats up.) (Verse 1) As if we were villains by necessity Maybe I gotta work on my broliloquy Because even if we past every tragedy There's always going to be a little comedy Periodically I'm in my element: Bromine So keen with not gangster lean, just gleam Self-esteem went through the roof, here's the proof I'll have you broken, aloof, and gone just like poof Brocabuluary knowledge, street-smart polished Like the fingernails on the punk rock logic Brobust and vibrant, a fresher vibe Inside I ride with pride that's less than snide So ask me a question, and I'll answer passionately If you're waiting for the brotation, wait for eternity Because I'll be here permanently Broting these words so fervently [Chorus] I'll be that bro on the go Scrambling up in the know Laying down tracks and flows, and oh, so whoa I be posted on a whole other globe And show, I'll be that bro on the go [Interlude] (Verse 2) Broasted and flamed up by instant hate Let me sign for the rebate for a better future state Emails for the retail leave my detail Analyzed by the guys saying I am female But regardless I got the bromo that makes em so blown Not rocking brolos but in the brozone Solo, chill glow, like a brozen lightbulb Meaning, my ideas are freezing as they take hold Broperation is necessary, but force will be used So conclude that in another mood I'll be crude Brocially networking across bandwidth and wires Through a universal language of heart and fire Burning, learning, earning my stripes Yearning, turning, observing this life Let me rephrase if you don't understand I'm the kid, the bro, standing up to the Bland [Chorus] I'll be that bro on the go Scrambling up in the know Laying down tracks and flows, and oh, so whoa I be posted on a whole other globe And show, I'll be that bro on the go

Look, look: gander gander! The boy came down to the land of landers The land of Portland, the important imported dopeness is too much, don't snort it Hit the spotlight and stage: dancers dancers Tools of the trade: hammers hammers Pronouns profound, grammar grammar But chill with the quill: candor candor Hit the track like heart attack: cancer cancer! Got a question? I've got the answer See everything like a band of Santas So make some noise, clamor clamor I'm up on a higher plane but this is standard Your mud can't reach here, don't try to slander Caught you red-handed: stammer stammer Louder louder, grander grander! Cuff them and tell it to them like Miranda Got you endangered: pandas pandas Poetic soliloquies, stanza stanzas Teach you some lessons, manners manners Life isn't always about the glitz and glamor But depends on who you've got enamored So you gotta switch it up, Adam Sandler Orders to reporters: pan the cameras Nuts with this cane, Planters, planters Adjust the frame, tamper tamper Treat it like newborns, pamper pamper Talking about nothing: George Castanza This song is like the Ku Klux vs the Panthers! Slam dunk with the funk: slammer slammer This is all so intense, campers campers Flow like h2o, damper damper Hope this song isn't getting any blander But I've taken charge of this barge: Big Commander Spit fire like Dylan or a salamander Takumi or if you want Alexander Never will I ever propaganda Just leave you in a extravaganza An incredible festival of wordplay bonanza I've rapped circles around this like bandanas And did you catch everything? Joe Montana This is all impromptu, no need for planners Just post some giant banners All for this dude's witty banter.

Beautiful 05:41
[Chorus] Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it I can feel it slowly drifting away from me I’m on the edge, so why you playing? I’m saying I will never ever let you live this down, down, down Not for nothing I’ve foreseen it, I dream it I can feel it slowly dripping away from me No more chances if you blow this, you bogus I will never ever let you live this down, down, down [Verse 1] The mood is pensive, my mind is reflective Soaking up the entire world and it's tension The world ugly and the world is beautiful Trying to catch it from the window view of a cubicle Experience the fumes of the daily commute Details astute and resolute in all my roots Glance at the gasoline rainbows on the sidewalk Enjoy the little side talk, c'mon let's rock With no money in our wallets if you've already called it Starving artists that go the hardest, still polished Let the guitar wail through the wires and fire Let it be the desire that all the mortals require Smell the roses and let's live it very vivid No room for livid, let's get em high and rip it Hop aboard a spaceship, let's touch the sky Tonight we forget that us humans can die [Chorus] Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it I can feel it slowly drifting away from me I’m on the edge, so why you playing? I’m saying I will never ever let you live this down, down, down Not for nothing I’ve foreseen it, I dream it I can feel it slowly dripping away from me No more chances if you blow this, you bogus I will never ever let you live this down, down, down [Verse 2] Never losing focus is a hopeless task It's asking for the daily people to take of their masks We trip and fall, break our hips and all Hit a brick wall and face blackmail and balled So we grow untrusting and we never forget But sad because we don't remember past regrets Snap judgments made in a pungent way So if I must stay, it'll be a redundant day Every now and though, we lose, no stopping it But sometimes from there, we gain consciousness Our eyes opened along with our arms and heart The human race is still at the line trying to start In the scheme of things, it sure seems backwards But if you lack words, afterwards it'll seem absurd When we lose, never lose the lesson 6 chambers can change everything, ask Smith & Wesson [Chorus] Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it I can feel it slowly drifting away from me I’m on the edge, so why you playing? I’m saying I will never ever let you live this down, down, down Not for nothing I’ve foreseen it, I dream it I can feel it slowly dripping away from me No more chances if you blow this, you bogus I will never ever let you live this down, down, down [Verse 3] Lock me up and throw away the key, well I'll make straitjackets look dope on me, hell Brand me a heathen and a scapegoat? I'll walk on water, just give me time to escape the boat Lecture my performance and turn your back on me? Then you'll see that I never front, I think wonderfully Call my mind a shallow pool of of nonsensical letters? Then I'll go to a deeper level and show you I get better Point out all my flaws and say they're my downfall? I'll make them rise and I will astound all Just analyze me until you finally succeed in my demise But surprise, call me a Blazer for my uprise Kick me out from your inner cliques and circles? Then I'll just stay verbal and more universal Speak all about me and how my tracks aren't musical Calm down and I'll carry on beautiful [Chorus] Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it I can feel it slowly drifting away from me I’m on the edge, so why you playing? I’m saying I will never ever let you live this down, down, down Not for nothing I’ve foreseen it, I dream it I can feel it slowly dripping away from me No more chances if you blow this, you bogus I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

Footsteps 03:59
{Chorus} x2 Follow my footsteps if you've got no where to go Follow me through Chinatown all the way to Queens-borough Follow me until I finally stop walking You can chose your own path when I stop talking [Verse 1] Follow the leader, listen to the speaker At ease for you tweakers, time to reaffirm the believers March through the swamps marshes and jungles If you're ready to rumble and tumble get back and huddle Thoughts confused and muddled, so concentrate Tai Chi masters and Zen scholars will reiterate Enter the dragon and re-enter the monasteries 36 Chambers of danger, be one with the killa bees It's been years since one has learned the ways 11 more lessons have been added since those days We took up the torch, we added to the scrolls We lit the passageways and published our souls The fire never extinguished and words etched in stone This is the only way we've been taught and known Chinatown nouns provide a pathway for the profound It resounds in the deep mounds of spirit, lost but now found {Chorus} x2 Follow my footsteps if you've got no where to go Follow me through Chinatown all the way to Queens-borough Follow me until I finally stop walking You can chose your own path when I stop talking [Verse 2] It's in chinese.... {Chorus} x2 Follow my footsteps if you've got no where to go Follow me through Chinatown all the way to Queens-borough Follow me until I finally stop walking You can chose your own path when I stop talking [verse 3] A multitude of languages pelting your mind A divine rhyme inside every single delivered rhyme Ascending to the heavens, striking down the earth This gift and curse has been handed down at birth My brain contains insane flames from emperors slain With range deranged and unphased by the lames The words I speak know no bounds and limits The life of the MC are in my words, I really live it Dynasties primed me as the final general Meaning every action I perform is less than venerable Ancient elders have passed down their secrets I don't speak it or keep it, I breathe it Five elements of the universe in my palm A phoenix calm mixed with a tiger balm Lions den meeting and dragon send greetings All reside inside me, none of it is fleeting {Chorus} x2 Follow my footsteps if you've got no where to go Follow me through Chinatown all the way to Queens-borough Follow me until I finally stop walking You can chose your own path when I stop talking

Love/Hate 03:43
Love me or hate me, you better just choose something Don't treat me like nothing or just be fronting Cause I got a trusting touch on the microphone Protect it like safety cones with walls of stone I don't leave beats alone, I keep em company What's done to me is actually overworked somebody I've got a gentle pencil inscribed on instrumentals That's less than accidental if it says confidential I'm more accurate than stencils so I'm reliable And undeniable. If something is done I'm liable It's likely that nightly I stay at home with my wifey But slightly I might righteously be clean like my Nikes They might try me but they just end up apologetic Quite pathetic but who am I to judge them? Forget it! With a nice slow flow that is more combo than solo I just go before my foes and show them my goals, yo! Now you gotta hate me as I switch my styles I make frowns as I smile and lay em down like tiles I toss em down and make piles of my defeated The haters get heated cause they believe me conceited But believe it, I'm more sicker than a sycamore tree I'm most definitely qualified as the infinity MC Which means I can't be stopped and I can't be blocked I can't be knocked like the Roc, I've got massive stock I just keeping going, keep flowing, and I'm in the knowing I cast away these castaways so continue rowing I bruise the mics when I use the likes of my savagery With mastery of deadly weaponry and vocabulary You can understand me being called a beat killer With scriptures and mind pictures that are much iller I make you rappers look like a rapping Ben Stiller So be still when I put the quill and lay down pillars They love me for my word choice and golden voice They hate me for my beyond poise like a Rolls Royce Love me for the way I bring back rhymes like flashbacks Hate me cause I do not lack packed attacks onto tracks Adore the core of lore I speak because it's a bit unique Despise my cries and uprise like Blazers nay-sayers Appreciate my state of mind as I find I'm on the grind Be disgusted as I'm more trusted to keep it adjusted Love it cause I'm the Artisan and loves life ponderin' Hate it cause I rock cardigans and is sharp like partisans Admire my desire to be higher than a wire Shun my puns cause on your head they weigh a ton Be infatuated with created lines that I recline Detest cause I stress you into a mess that is not the best Just love me because I'm oh so lyrical And hate me because you're hmmm, oh so cynical.

Speak like a child, I am spicy but not mild It will take a while to understand how wild The things are as he unleashes beasts onto bars It goes very far to the distance of stars or the planet Char I just swarm into the center of the storm With a form so open it's the contrast of a dorm I'm at a college level with my treble, it's incredible I'm a rock, going to a boulder and I was a pebble Growth is what I have achieved Super like Mr. Reeves I'ma fall like the leaves Mr. Tree... Why do you lose them all? Why do you just let them fall? Will it make you more than tall? Do tell, please don't stall? It's a secret, I won't leak it, I'll just keep it But remeasure the temperature, read it, it just gets colder And the leaves drop down to their knees like obedient soldiers I'm the General Consensus and I present this Reign that you have perceived is mist but I drench it Like Victoria or the good city of Astoria I get more than ya, and I get the Gloria Do you get the story of the kid from Southeast 92nd? Grew up around weapons and covered in tears from heaven But with expert side-steppin avoid all the wreckin And removed from the deckin so my name is Joker I'ma show ya all the things they never told ya! I'm gonna pull a bang shooter like a Ruger, but I knew ya... Uneducated. Quick, get a tutor... Before he ends up dumbfounded in a stupor Whoa whoa whoa, peace just like the Buddha. There's the natural pause for me to switch topics I'ma drop this opposite of avalanche, so it's hotness You got it? I'm a novice but I'm getting polished So unknown with a power to own, what do you call this? I go by many names, I just play many games I will rise to the fame. Now I am Bruce Wayne Scratch the last thought. I'm already a hero Flyer than a Spearow, count me up Shaprio Do you understand? Just call the number man I just thunder slam until they call me wonder jam So make a toast to the sir that is flyer than a bird The Artisan with a partnership in spoken word I concur that this nerd is very unheard So like a symbiote, these lyrics you must quote Take note of what the hell Alex Dang just has wrote: Without any treason for a hundred seasons: You should know, I'm the rhyme and she's the reason!

[Chorus] Only legendary quotes Listen to the play back Whatever we make it's the return of the mack Can you believe that? You can receive that It is flawless what I wrote Try to chase this track So far ahead you can't even trace that So here goes nothing now Here goes nothing. [Verse 1] Sitting on public transit, everything I've already planned it Nothing coincidental, play my cards right like Gambit Everything fresh, not rancid, snap a couple candids I don't do jogging, I ran this, not entry level: I manage Devour planets like Galactus without any practice I swallow beats whole and still it comes out attractive Study every night just to make sure it comes out right First amendment I'll defend it with my life and plight Flying against high winds so you call your boy the kite And if you feel slight against me then your business is trite Perfectionist flow, percussionists know Keep it steady and ready I got a mentalist glow I pulled out all the stops, pressed the button and go Green light on, push through the door, feel the wind blow Brush off the dirt and debris and you will see None are as flawless and clean as me, the MC! Say my name, T-A-K-U-Mi! [Chorus] Only legendary quotes Listen to the play back Whatever we make it's the return of the mack Can you believe that? You can receive that It is flawless what I wrote Try to chase this track So far ahead you can't even trace that So here goes nothing now Here goes nothing. [Verse 2] Maximum potential whenever I rhyme on instrumentals This is just perpetual, such a constant consistent mental I go in to own, this is no rental, call this parental And if you try to recite in my light you're gonna need dental Obsessing and blessing every song I create Caressing and dressing every wrong I make Cause mistakes are just lessons further down the road So remember each failed session and don't sweat a bad episode My ambition wasn't overnight, but the transition polite Since the mission was in sight, my new position is bright Everyone can see I'm a rebel with a cause, and pause Toying with a monster in the clutches of his jaws and claws Is unadvised. What you provide is trying coincide The best of both worlds: this hasn't been done or tried So let's make history, we're starting right now If it's not perfect the first time, we've got an entire lifetime to wow Stand back... Ka-plow! [Chorus] Only legendary quotes Listen to the play back Whatever we make it's the return of the mack Can you believe that? You can receive that It is flawless what I wrote Try to chase this track So far ahead you can't even trace that So here goes nothing now Here goes nothing. [Verse 3] Supremacy, delicacy, this is definitely I've got the recipe on how to create the best of me Flawless, lawless, continue to get polished Drop this rawness and make an example of the novice Impeccable, respectable, going past incredible Boring comatose flow so I rename foes vegetables Effective, corrected, this is a good investment If I get tested I'll just come out far more rested Absolute, attribute, they are just about to shoot Deeper than palace roots, I just wear immaculate suits Definitive, unlimited, I told you I would finish it Take it for the benefits and I will remember this I continue to pursue till I go out blemishless Started ever since December Twenty-Fifth 1993 I'm the representative! [Chorus] Only legendary quotes Listen to the play back Whatever we make it's the return of the mack Can you believe that? You can receive that It is flawless what I wrote Try to chase this track So far ahead you can't even trace that So here goes nothing now Here goes nothing.

[Verse 1] We're all in this world looking for something Before we vanish and waste away to nothing Some want fame, others wants only pleasure People want a name and refused to be measured We're all looking for something, that part is true And we've all felt lost, that part is not new So we envelope ourselves in different enigmas Trying to craft character and charisma We search for meaning and we start dreaming We learn, start reading and soon begin beaming Devising tactics that require much practice Finding our own cracks and if we lack this And then we fill the holes with whatever we need Into our demons we feed and we lose our creed Until one day it bleeps back on our radars We get into our cars and we drive away far [Chorus] Paper towns, paper boys and paper girls Why can't we see into the greater world? With an abundance of reluctance we just go Far, far away until the labyrinth grows Paper hearts are too fragile but still agile You've got a cancer curing grin and smile Build towns from the ground on simple principle We cannot be broken: we're just invincible [Verse 2] Lips whispering words too inaudible and silent Nothing is longer plausible: only violent The world on it's a axis, spinning like a dreidel We get out of control and are no longer stable Find your ambitions in a hearse plagued by a curse Ripped like a paper purse and that's not the worse You're heart is now inside torn into 19 parts Where to start? You now see new things in art Seeing words that aren't there like an anagram Analyzing like a diagram, graphing like a pentagram The numbers no longer blunders: gives you definition New wonders to discover: strengthened intuition You can find you're path out of the maze and haze Give praise to who are close and follow your ways Thanks to pranks, no division amongst ranks Inside libraries for life there are only think-tanks [Chorus] Paper towns, paper boys and paper girls Why can't we see into the greater world? With an abundance of reluctance we just go Far, far away until the labyrinth grows Paper hearts are too fragile but still agile You've got a cancer curing grin and smile Build towns from the ground on simple principle We cannot be broken: we're just invincible [Verse 3] Let them watch your moves: they're like eagles Acting like regal royalties that are above the people But they are equal because we all have abilities Just withstand their aim for your head like guillotines Drink deeply and eat hearty: this is your one chance In a mental trance keep steady and assume a stance A last stand, a last dance. Your last breath? With little time left, what do you say before death? Do you assume everything is simply inedible? Or do you create relationships that are unforgettable? Tie strings that connect us from one to another Rise from the gutters and have on-lookers stutter Have them in awe of what you have done with yourself There's no equation in the world that will help Just know that you can do anything you think is real Because it tastes exactly like how hope feels [Chorus] Paper towns, paper boys and paper girls Why can't we see into the greater world? With an abundance of reluctance we just go Far, far away until the labyrinth grows Paper hearts are too fragile but still agile You've got a cancer curing grin and smile Build towns from the ground on simple principle We cannot be broken: we're just invincible [Radar (Jake Bisuut) Bonus Verse] These days seeing things a little bit closer Noticing the cracks within makes us bolder Who knows what kind of people we were before Whether we were the ones to adore or abhor Every single one of us in our own shoes, Central to our universe, your news is no news Going on forever, stuck in our labyrinth Own little world, no one notices absence The world says you need a reason to live But a reason to die, Lord, Heaven forbid Except everything we do sends shivers down our spines And down to the roots, where our lives intertwine There I know I'm tangled up in kinks, Pulling just one string brings us close to the brink. Looking over, each time I get pulled back down By those that matter most, declaring my soul to be found.

about

The very first mixtape. The title "Looking For..." is taken from the novel "Looking For Alaska" where I got my rap moniker Takumi. This mixtape is a little bit of everything because as the title implies, I'm not entirely sure on what I'm looking for, but eventually I'll find it.

If you live in the PDX area, you should buy a mixtape! If you like that real CD feel and real CD cover status.

Best wishes and enjoy.
