Re-Introductions ft. TimCast IRL 02:47
lyrics
It’s another slaughter, Mufasa still gets stomped This time, in high definition, the king is getting dropped Its like watching Pac get shot, then brought back to life You can be rebooted, if you become an archetype Or if the profit’s right, and you got the cream of the crop Regurgitated, and reanimated, and re-made into a prop You came from a box, you can be put into square Don’t stray from your thoughts, remain aware Don’t to be afraid to believe in an idea, Learn from mistakes, regret is your only fear Ya, but shit, creativity is killed by that cat Copyright up my back, pimples and my ass crack Use my pubic cushion for public consumption Blow my bugle, there’s rust on my trumpet Enter the loophole, and empty my spit valve I’m coming in your face, here’s a towel, sit down.

Little John 03:17
lyrics
Just like that, you’re gone Won’t be back, you're gone Just like that, snap, gone That’s my dad, scrap-heap John You were there a minute ago, then ya disappeared All of a sudden your shadow vanished, image unclear Just like that, I’m asking questions to a mirror Damn, I miss my dad, I feel lost in here Spontaneous, out of the blue, no sad goodbye Poppa popped a fuse, randomly decided to die We all confused, everyone surprised What do we do? This gonna ruin our lives Dad kept me from the lies, raised to respect He disguised family ties, he paid off those debt bloodsuckers and leaches, he wrote the cheques Even after his death ya’ll try to bogart whats left I hope nothing less then a broken neck, or a lot of suffering You should expect this, nephew is stepping up to that uncle fuckery I betchu you still love me, no matter what I say or do But I’m putting this on the record, Uncle _____ I hate you, Just like that, you’re gone Won’t be back, you're gone Just like that, snap, gone That’s my dad, scrap-heap John You best beware, little Mickey is at large You can’t predict me, I got junky Johnny’s spark This pretzel I got, it’s salty, just like my heart No physical attack, but I will slap you with my art You won’t bleed, you’ll believe I still love But I cut deep, when I beef with my blood I will give you the bullet, so you can eat the slug I’ll even write the eulogy, for these useless fucks The confusions cleared up, now Im seeing straight I come from a different pedigree, we just don’t relate Ya’ll permanent morons, perpetual doofuses I’ll telling you, my uncles are the 3 stooges Booze hounds, and ya'll abusive and greedy You want another hand out, are you kidding me? You’re cash cow ran out, you can’t pay utilities I don’t give a fuck, there is no relation between you and me Just like that, I'm gone Won’t be back, I'm gone Just like that, snap, gone Take a nap, Yawn Kiss my ass, Gord and Ron Lenny can lick a toilet with that serpent tongue Tell me Im doing this wrong, family don’t air it like this Tell me I’m an embarrassment to to my parents I mean, parent, but what’s apparent is, Ya’ll a bunch of vermin, ya’ll are parasidic Call the paramedic, or the witch doctor Because ya'll pissed off the spirit of my dead father So, Im gonna drop ya, I ain’t even paying attention Fuck the drama, ya’ll just make my head spin See me as an alien, a reptilian peeling off the dead skin Just cut off the cancerous bits, its the best medicine

Hair Cut ft. T.R.E. 02:09
lyrics
It’s just a look, it’s how I want to appear You can’t stop it, I won’t disappear It’s just a look, quit barking in my ear I don’t care how you wear your hair, in here. It’s been too long, with these expired coupons Still got my toque on, to hide it from the boss I’m catching looks, sideways at my mess Lets a address it, I’m dressed like a sticky crook One half of the wet bandits, cooking with a hairnet No fingerprints in my book, I don’t hit, careless Looking like a terrorist, because, you want proper You think I need a therapist, I’m not the Unabomber I’m rocking these locks, till the grass grows I won’t fit in a box, there’s no trap that’s an obstacle I suppose, when I cut it off, you might cut it out I should buzz it to the root, and you, “shut your mouth” My dome shines, and I don’t want to be reminded Behind these blue eyes, all you see is a skin-head with a weak mind Don’t get excited, because looks can be deceiving I’m Optimus Prime, this hair is just a wig-thing

lyrics
I’ll huff and I’ll puff, and throw the house down Ill plunder your stuff, smoke blowing from my mouth I gave you my trust, but you fucked around So, you get no love, when I reclaim the crown You took the throne, let the kingdom crumble Gave the keys away to my idiotic uncle Let him run the show, and cast the ensemble While you sat in the house, going mental Instead of making money, you traded for drugs You gave away my dad’s tractor, for a buzz You wasted everything, constantly baked with a beer gut And I’m not stopping till I drain your tear ducts Dehydration, mixed with obvious cognitive delay Got you tripping on every simple syllable I say Contradictions and broken promises, on display Good luck getting a job with your pathetic resume. Why do you have to be that way? What were you thinking? Are you insane? You’re wasting my time, making me wait! Gimme that gas! Light that flame! You said this was my biggest problem, since a kid I always needed to be the boss, I wanted leadership But since you lacked any backbone or a reason to exist You just power tripped, telling your first born son, “fuck this shit” I’m a son of a bitch, that’s the nicest way to put it My mother is basically the equivalent raisin pudding Mixed by Bill Cosby with Tourettes syndrome Shove the jello cup up your ass your disgusting hippo! Yo, Mick’s a fuckin sicko, when I wield the wicked sickle With quick wit, I hit dip shits with imprint, that’s critical Insignificant, bitch your opinion is hypocritical You’re an idiot, and everything about you is pitiful A weak specimen, your words hold no weight I’ve been patient, after every promise you break I’ve been honest, you responded with insults and hate You mind, you’ve lost it, and my word don’t wait.

lyrics
You gave me a dream, I had some hope I was believing, we could hang onto the rope But nope, I slipped when I gave you an open book I had nothing to hide, but that still left you shook You’re up in your head, analyzing each of my rhymes When I speak my mind, you only listen so you can reply Instant judgement, because you don’t want to understand I was honest to the bone and genuine in my underpants But no, you came to your conclusion already Our dream was a delusion, I was worth less than a penny- I did not mean everything I said to you When you pushed my fuse, and made me go Ka-BOOM You said, “I hope I’m preggo with your kiddo, Just so I can abort it, you fuckin sicko!” How did I react to that? I tried to empathize But you twisted the dagger, you made this man cry Why, do I endure this, abuse You’ve hit me, it left a bruise Blamed me, everything I do Hurt me, I guess, I have to be immune This is abuse. I won’t take it. I love you, but I hate this relationship I gotta be Mr.Flawless, no mistakes While you break me down, and spit in my face I take every shot on the chin, like its no bother But after you said, you would kill my unborn daughter All bets are off, you pushed a button, it hurt And that’s not even what’s worst Day after day, you kept reading my anger Reminding me why I presented that behaviour Now, I’m a stranger to you, and you think you're pregnant Everything I say, you re-arrange it, I’m freezing in my basement, , what should I say But I keep hearing , “kill the baby” on replay!!! Am I crazy, why did this lady make me go insane? Maybe this time, if Im patient, she will change… I’m chasing dreams now, but its a nightmare I keep this smile, and I pretend like I care I’m scared, I thought I found soul partner But then you said I’m dead to you.. Why, do I endure this, abuse You’ve hit me so hard, there was a bruise Then you, blame me, ‘cuz I was being rude You can do anything to hurt me, I guess, I have to be immune This is abuse. I won’t take it. I love you, but I hate this relationship I gotta be Mr.Flawless, no mistakes While you break me down, and spit in my face You should have said would, But instead, you went with could So he thinks he has a chance in your book I dunno girl, this is not a good look He could with you, if he was nice like me You tell him, he can have you again, eventually Lead him by the leash, you won’t cut him off how many times he cuts you down, or puts you on block Stop, like what the fuck is going on I piss you off once, and you're back at his farm Back under his control, arm length away from harm I sitting stressing, hoping you set your boundaries strong I’m far from ok, honestly, I don’t know what I can say The way you go back to him, I feel betrayed Why did I open up to put everything on display For you to go back to an abuser who will never change Why, do I endure this, abuse?
