The media made me wikipedia plus a beanie baby Greetings I'm crazy what their feeding me got me feeling lazy seeking the ladies to freak I keep on seeing them nakey remote I hold is breaking after seeing what is peaking the ratings I'm thinking of fading back into the white noise I'm sicker than babies diagnosed with they typhoid Try boy what I tell them if they giving me eye If they giving me lip I was taught to reply You think that you're intense well i'm indigenous tribes I'm flipping over desks as if your business was mine Products of the corporate wheel Children of endorsement deals We thought that we could never stop but listen its time from the minute we were given our first vision, we're blind if we didn't take that minute to think who did it and why Permitted to be sipping a bunch of liquor tonight A gift in my opinion so I can picture whats right Gonna get the satisfaction I deserve from having half the life I've lived turned into advertising tactics with a dash of grim An actual story with an actual end happy never happens when antagonists control the last event Patch me in.

Oh Boy 03:36
Watch out Theres no way I could stop now I'm a freight train, conductor was locked out Club owners used to love me til' their roof was brought down Not now they want me in the compound I've always been easy going They don't understand db flowing Nowadays to read into anything these kids need to see at least three emojis I'll put a face on for ya bruh how bout some terror and the napalm formula the stone cold glare of the a bomb, order up calling you the never quit your day job orchestra Beethoven's fifth fills the background of day dreams can you tell how sick that it makes me to hear your crap I'll smear the map til I wipe you off the clock appears to crack I'm killing time the word kill defined the ill mind behind the hill's eyes in real time you can watch their will die my skills sharp enough to cut you down to pill size I've always been easy going but I don't understand if its joking I'm laughing and shaking my head in every direction I need an exorcism Every breath says Oh Boy come on now Did you believe your mama when she told you she's beyond proud? Did your clique tell you you could rock crowds? That you were the king ever since you walked out? Oh Boy come on now Did you think their silence meant you had a raw sound? Were you the meanest puppy they could muster in your dog pound? I can't believe you thought you had this locked down You could be a hose couldn't dowse the flame Stupid get exposed if you doubt the brain Who could be a foe of this loud display? Two go in and Joe will come out the cage Look me in the eyes when you say you're criminal day to day I see your pay is minimal hate to break it some agents great kid, but there's no helping if your tape is pitiful pain is typical its true the truth hurts no mistakes admissible if you won't do the work two huge boots and you can choose the first you'll still get em both up your ass if you play it right Joey deadbeat Ninety nine percent heat the other one I'm so cold all their pencil lead freeze I'm laughing and shaking my head in every direction I need an exorcism every breath says Oh Boy come on now Did you believe your mama when she told you she's beyond proud? Did your clique tell you you could rock crowds? That you were the king ever since you walked out? Oh Boy come on now Did you think their silence meant you had a raw sound? Were you the meanest puppy they could muster in your dog pound? I can't believe you thought you had this locked down Like the clock's round we sound off to an off sound mouths drop down when the cocks out right about now I'm jumping this town on to the next one to hunt for the crown Dumbfounded isn't nearly the common, ALL have this reaction very astonished I bury your garbage in various gardens to spare me the hardship of tearing apart discs

Ya'll don't know what that means

Misfortune 02:57
So dope it don't fly with the authorities They don't like it like its pride inside minorities You'd think I took my vibes right out of a horror scene I encourage all to write Right now my rival's boring me We could measure the score between your featherweight sword and ancient sorcery Oh you poor thangs but I don't need to wage a war to see the page you tore is forgery You plain performing horribly Giant laying dormantly who ordered the beef You woke me in the morning its a quarter to three I'm cornering the mortal You on a course for defeat I've mortified courts of law since I was fourteen The beats fat Obese Morbidly I run the track accordingly This is what I'm born to be Ya'll are nothing like what my girl just wore to sleep Beauty at its purest Great view of the coral reef More than meets the eye I'm a transformer Lord just a piece of the pie is all I ask for They jerkin me in every direction Its very unpleasant didn't get their hands warm or wear any protection Fans swarm after db show em what it stands for Mighty like the hulk, Iron man and Thor I ain't stoppin til I bought the whole damn store They'll be mopping up your jaw off the damn floor Only threw one punch but I land four You ain't any kind of sick this motherfucker can't cure I'm a champ you're a tantrum and a slammed door Snatching up some ransom I'll be counting till my hands sore Joey Deadbeat Rapper with a Jansport tamper with your brain like what the famous man snorts I'm a lot of weight to transport I will not obey your damn orders I told them to stay away or theres More than consequences to pay forward it could be your name or your life shortened When I play the game my mic jordan Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune (what what happened) Second verse What can I say at the start Now you gotta curse so they pay attention to art Fuck you all At the end of a show they all call for their mama like they afraid of the dark Theres none realer a done dealer ya'll stories made up I see the concealer No brakes on an eighteen wheeler drove straight through the label you prayed would hear ya Bust down doors like nobody can fuck with us in every bar we fight AND each words an uppercut Deep shit A face that only mothers love Any time i touch the mic I leave the room thunderstruck I make the runner up want a hug Hundred bucks says right now that fucker's looking for his cuddle bug Its not really something to mutter but I know that all these women just wanna (woo) Subtle huh? I'm a special type of troublesome Number one foam fingers rise when I huddle up Yeah you taking over, right where the gutter was I make em wonder what the fuck is harder than this song that I'm bumping (no tell me) You make em wonder who the fuck just farted when your song comes in (what am I smelling?) Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune Misfortune (what what happened)

Fire Water 03:24
I've been drinking that fire water Now, I am hotter than miles of lava in hell I will slaughter your style, your honor, your wealth Grinding your daughter like Sawzalll with belts (put him up, put him up, put him up, put him up) Its Deadbeat (put him up, put him up, put him up, put him up) Who's ready Come get me Yes, we set free all those poor souls Self destructive and no I don't mean to be A rose can still grow in concrete scenery Its what I keep in mind Thoughts eating me Don't stop now or they'll see you leave I make this music shit look simpler than EZ-cheese Our worlds are different, mine's a bit like yours on PCP We bring a fleet of peeps at three in the morning read the score Four up we running the board Full court Stacked Jury Rappers run out the door in a mad hurry Rats scurry Cats buried I'd say you're alright but I heard your mixtape bites like your back's furry "Have mercy" Got em cryin "Plus my dad's worried" I don't give a fuck I'm out here with my pad learning watching, taking notes study hall for making ghosts eyeballs come out easy once I break the nose (put him up, put him up, put him up, put him up) Its Deadbeat (put him up, put him up, put him up, put him up) Who's ready Come get me Yes, we set free all those poor souls I'm making hearts drop like a cop in the rearview Killing it, they telling me that I should tat a tear too I am pure proof Rap ain't near through Add a little ambience I'm a chandlier dude Give me the mic and I'ma light the sky up Try to fight it but the sight could blind the brightest of your nine disciples The price is right and like it or not I'm gonna win it I'm big Bob Barker on the big wheel spin it bitches Yeah we both rap but I'll show you all the difference I'm the thundercats you're a box full of kittens I chop up the track while you chop in the kitchen I'm top of the charts, you top of the shitlist My rock is an art, your rock is addiction And I ain't saying that you like the dicks around but its the only way that something hard comes out your mouth (put him up, put him up, put him up, put him up) Its Deadbeat (put him up, put him up, put him up, put him up) Who's ready Come get me Yes, we set free all those poor souls (put him up, put him up, put him up, put him up) Who's ready (put him up, put him up, put him up, put him up) Who's ready Come get me Yes, we set free all those poor souls

Brand new gear Look at him go He has no fear now his back says so In a fat red logo and matching polo Dad brought bags back Chad went loco Fifteen but he felt like forty ounces now this outfits 'round him surely He was a thug A G A major factor Cuz he looked just like his favorite rapper Backwards hat and all He’s at the mall Ditch math to match a batch of hash with paul Pass the grass Learning fractions fast Before he snatched the tags off he packed his bags Tall-minded Law abiding left behind him Ma and Pa’s 9 to 5 didn’t provide him what his new fits called for Money and diamonds Hardcore G A day in the life of (CHORUS) What you see In the mirror down real deep Who you be Can you point out your own dreams Who you see In the mirror now, really Do you recognize the person on the other side Brand new boy Look at her go She needs no voice now her man can throw She dances so slow He’s half her solo Drives a trans am Kat goes loco Sixteen but she feels like eight balls cuz her boyfriend did it told her its safe He’s got a car, a place, hears, cares, So she’ll do lines with him here and there Its been a year and they’re gettin peers and stares Steering clear of the mirror cuz she fears whats there Weird cuz she feels sick in the morning She learned some news, curled up in the corner He said he loved her he’s perfect for her She broke the news, gonna have a daughter But he reacted rash Aftermath of half a bag Added fast to fragile adolescent catastrophic acts (CHORUS X2) Do you recognize the person staring back at you Is this what you pictured back when you knew what to do How’d I get here How’d this happen Where’d I come from I’m so lost I’ve become what I don’t want And I can’t tell you how to stop Brand new skill Look at me go Demand to fill over banjo tones Get the can open on a damned soul Done me wrong in the past? Put em on blast Twenty-two but I feel sixteen bars hit the tar like your teeth need cleaned Pen in hand, I stand tall curled Cooped up smug, while I judge the world Let the tongue unfurl Am I above? Or whirl pooling down in a spiral of my own concerns Rhyme 'bout some things that I know could hurt See the signs that read there is no return I’m looking in the mirror disappear and reappear Interference with the image Veering deep in through the ears I’m looking but the other side don’t look familiar Learn to off those demons before they try and kill ya (CHORUS X3)

F#@% You 04:28
When I record, its the force of nuclear meltdowns Set the coordinates, all aboard F train's hell bound Testing, testing Your mic must've fell down Thats why you can't belt out those rhymes you said you held down Playing with fire, its gas you smell now Been trying to blow up but think this gas repels crowds Bags of real loud and a doper instrumental The smoke was incidental when I spoke the speakers went up Cold as if my name was winter Wait Its over like I chose to stay for dinner Great Produce on the coffee table plus a notice on the door "We know you're smoking weed in there we told you this before" Phew I didn't worry for a second but the rappers in my closet that I haven't buried yet did A blurry set list They say I cannot leave Then I'm out this bitch like a tampon string Fuck you I make the crowd scream This swimming downstream Easy K.O.s They don't reach a round three I tried to say the worst move you could make is doubt me Now I take the cake and all the plates around me Fuck you Fuck Fuck you Fuck you Fuck fuck fuck Fuck you Here's a reach out to my haters (nope) I'm more on point than a calculator Kill it now find my salvage later I'll be in the shadows urban legend underground alligator How to wager if you bluffing on em here's a tip You don't ever need to bluff you wouldn't know shit I put em in the sleeper hold and made em listen to me spit stuck em with the microphone and stopped the bleeding with my disc now they love it haggard out in public and I don't give a fuck about it while we on the subject I've been good Now I'm getting bad with it Adlibbing sick of crap given from another rap critic I've been holding back bitches Fat itch to Rap vicious its my practician hand me all the sacks with the cash in it stashing more diesel than the first five fast and furious flicks and riddick Fuck you I make the crowd scream This swimming downstream Easy K.O.s They don't reach a round three I tried to say the worst move you could make is doubt me Now I take the cake and all the plates around me Fuck you Fuck Fuck you Fuck you Fuck fuck fuck fuck Fuck you Now, I get your head spinning like the DJ I haven't heard your shit They keep me on replay The show is over, smile and freeze frame I want piles of cheesecake I'm a diabetes case Miles high and on the tile my feet placed All my people know I get riled up each take My style is asylums filled with an eyeful compiled from a life in violent police state They're asking how its done how I run down to one Like I buy it on eBay I'm out of funds now the fun Cloud the lungs My girl knows how to douse my tongue Fry it in a cheesesteak then I pound the buns House is rough If the windows sitting still the system isn't loud enough Turn your bishop to a powderpuff I spit malicious rhythm Intuition that'll give you schisms and the crowd will love I round em up I put it all out there I'm going full frontal A not so subtle style I'm a beast with no muzzle They throwing dirt, then I throw shovels I'ma gross double what your doing even if I rapped with your mother Feeling like an overwhelmed plumber I see many broke flows Find me five feet from that coal stove vibing to the tracks hatched in haberdasheries Its evolution man the baddest rapper happens naturally Craft was mastered rapidly these bastards mad at me Cast a massive shadow and blacken the lights tactically Your battery's dead Anatomy's red Pads just turn to ashes Its habit that I snap with the pen I'm at it again I'll have you attend ten traumatic events then I'll add to the stress

Your hear skips a beat You can hear it in your head The noise becomes anger The anger burns red Eyes are on fire Suddenly everything is Everything is Dead Its killin me this monotony, y'all still the same I'm grilling meat If your hot as me you should feel the flame You could peel my brain All of this time they just called me an oddity Spit in the first light of dawn my microphones on Im fulfilling the prophecy My battles are offerings I'm like a head on collision You're thrown through the window Coming at the king you best not miss him Dead's on a mission I'm not the shit like the feds aren't listening Twisting that arm till they've met my conditions You wanna go to war I can grant all your wishes Your hear skips a beat You can hear it in your head The noise becomes anger The anger burns red Eyes are on fire Suddenly everything is Everything is Dead Its killing me Its comedy in a different life There's a million things that are wrong with me but I feel so right I'm a dancing kite in a perfect storm whatcha working for? I'm planted on the curb with a little herbal man I love the great outdoors When it rains it pours Rap's in the veins and it drains out pores Back in the game like I save my last life Get your flashlight out of my face or you won't have eyes I'm a bagpipe with a fat sack you can blow me for the fact that you slacked on the landslide you better pray with hands tight you ain't even on standby Your hear skips a beat You can hear it in your head The noise becomes anger The anger burns red Eyes are on fire Suddenly everything is Not killin me Pilsner raised if you feeling me Its real to see Its raining beer they thinking that the ceiling leaks I build the beat then Beat will kill the beat its filth indeed What I've drilled in these will tilt your seat til' the wheels above your heels and feet I'm on the field in cleats I don't got a deal but I still compete Skillfully, willfully A drum stick meal and its filling me Really b I spit sick shit in soliloquy You keep saying you the realest G Just remember what happens when the villain speaks

I can feel the negative energy we're enemies I should be skeptical like a head full of amphetamine They're questioning what I bring to the table the settings, the food you eating, and the fucking centerpiece I hit the tread heavily never need to breathe I'm part anemone now there's no Hennessy Every beat to me goes down in my legacy Wedding in the street surrounded by twenty three This ain't just a diss track Sick of seeing all you kiss asses I'm mad at the world Lets see how many cars the precinct dispatches I've been grinding so hard that my dick snapped twice now my piss trapped in The riff raff you pick up off fifth ave don't compare when this match lit Particles are scattering Anatomy is shattering Wonder was it me I mean it had to be I'm happily packing my shack to its capacity I'm gravity the way they can't resist Got rabbits in my hat the way I'm rapping's like grabbing out a family in your fist Elaborate as the jacket was, you bastards got a tragedy back in your midst Rappers face me and they know its the end of them Eyes focus the pendulum Nice jolt of adrenaline Into psychosis I'm sending em ten of them Gentlemen when I'm done you can find your balls in your skeleton Once your knees become gelatin No pleading will help you fellas run I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet Yet to see any one of you mother (ohhhhhhh) tango with me I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet Yet to see any one of you mother (ohhhhhhh) tango with me Rappers coming at me too minimalistic Making bigger moves just fiddling with this shit They joining Dead quick like I've written a hit list Well isn't this grand, I just scribbled my sixth in The rhythm is ritualistic The kids are convinced its a gift from a mystic Whats the difference I missed it This my whole friggen existence Now how you gonna claim that rapping's your life You got it tatted but you ain't signed How you never won a battle outside of a friends house still act like you take prize Nobody even comes close to me Most will see Joe cut from a different upholstery You don't get it than I'll tell you what the notion means I'm the I'm the I'm the smoke they breathe I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet Yet to see any one of you mother (ohhhhhhh) tango with me I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet I'm ready to be head of the seat My etiquette better than any of the rest of the fleet Yet to see any one of you mother (ohhhhhhh) tango with me Chords that force into contortions scores that shorten your importance storm the fort prepare for war
