number one Biminy Road for the remedy
been such a long time they might not remember me
take my coming back as a sign i've joined up with the enemy
hit me with cold shoulder tendency
hate to admit it, but i get
people get smitten when folks get committed
just like when you flip it, they get livid
god forbid you talk it and don't live it to the minute
they get on it like an audit
total recall getting dropped periodic
i despise itemized lies
idolize any opening of third eyes
synchronicity means we examine
the absurdities to shared realities so casually cool
getting tuned in to the tone of atonement
and deactivating opponents
gentleman going around
turning everything upside-down
like an alternate Hawkins the moment i walked in
all eyes made a beeline thinking they could comprehend
any aspect of the grand design
daring one another to step
and accept a fool's errand
even single file with a minimum interim
the end result was worthwhile
stacking wins just like dividends
maybe i should reinvest in the next one
to tip the scales
Marty McFly with the heaviness
basically clairvoyant with the readiness
may the good lord shine darkness
on light already there for the sake of paradox
synchronize clocks to countdown this uncharted renaissance
on the other side of equinox
kickstart my heart just to rip it apart, right?
call me Two Face on a dark night
fighting the good fight
just like a losing champion
let down at the let out yet again
going full throttle on the message in a bottle mentality
for the sake of challenging those
that are comfortably numb to get some
i fully condone stepping outside
your well-known comfort zone
put a little urgency into the repurposing
rap macguyver, dead or alive
or an alternative, all i have to give
is left on the page, left on the stage
left on the brains of the listener who can remain coherent
terror in the canyon at random
with reckless abandon

prone to a fit of together alone
the kind of intervals that cut right to the bone
toned down will eventually tone out
and leave clout on the table
you will be able to wade through
placed in a waist-high wasteland
that won't be mistaken for Graceland
stand in the place that you were
now face the fact
you will span space-time as a tangible abstract
voice in a vessel
hoping for a coping mechanism
that'll fast-track wisdom and then some
bend a bit of rationale
Prestige Worldwide, International
ask how after we pass now
cowards in a brave new world
that is powerfully profound
digging all types of rabbit holes to go down
chase that sun until you're buried in the ground
talk about taking the smart route
laying your cards out
instead of your heart getting carved out
peddling frontier medicine for dwellers of the uncharted
new style specimens in the vein of Bedouins
gatekeepers won't let us in
as they keep that motive reticent
honestly their truths are self-evident
in the sense this hindrance is an impedement
of their own design
these idle minds aligned might combine
for a skewed paradigm
those are the talents of the unbalanced
so coarse that they forced my hand
and i became more callous than most
and yet still kept valid composure
sorta like a soldier who's seen just a bit too much
knee-jerk rhetoric came out of nowehere
to replace the ettiquette
listen to the voices of the missing
those missing out don't care about the human condition
a militia of the indifferent
imprisoned outside of the collective wisdom
seems like our streams of consciousness connect
just like a prismatic effect
making it hard to determine fallacy from reality
separate truth from travesty
to set 'em up categorically by superiority
and ask for opinions rhetorically
i dare the peanut gallery to come challenge me
and catch a fatality from mastery of
the Talented Tenth mentality that i eminate
to eliminate collective dead weight
raising the frame rate
so when it slows down
the details found leave us all spellbound
