You say, "Moves"

When I say "Go"
You say, "Hard"
"Go" "Hard"
"Go" "Hard"
Oxygen inhale sanity into my brain
While I canoe out the softness from your veins
Cut out the shame
Your veins clogged with doubt cut it out
Be proud and inject confidence speak from your mouth
Chakras open
Negative forces closing
Size "14" stomping your nose in
Negative corrode
Hard times uploaded focus downloaded
Issues with trust ways to discuss haze to puff
Maybe I should change maybe you should change
Spirit lame, more attractive than my flesh
Rhymes stay fresh
I ball like I'm next in the draft
Contrast with my metallic badge
Bad cop gone mad
Throw it in the trash
Whip lash finishing from first to last
Opposite exposed
Math from above push & shove
Right here reign down aggression
Chorus:
When I say, "Raw"
You say, "Music"
"Raw", "Music"
"Raw", "Music"

Verse 2
Confrontation
Build a Heaven nation
Humans get annoyed with each other
Feel the void from our brother
Witness consciousness
Tipping the scales spit it well
Right here breaking the face of Hell
Spit the frail (naw)
Beers for breakfast
Crack the shellfish
Colors went from black to velvet
Smacking Elvis
Make a wish to pass the time
Take actions
Find stare in God's eye's for the 1st time
Found lust in the virgin
Certain the "sin" office is straight hurting
Not deserving those votes
Believing your votes count.. ouch
Right now get up off the couch
Doctrines: Red gravel
The Devil's gavel no judgment baffle matters or what have you
Trust few
Some on the blocks non stop with the product
I'm the interstellar prophet
Chorus:
When I say, "Build"
You say, "Nations"
"Build", "Nations"
"Build", "Nations"
When I say, "Bronx"
You say, "Barian"

Verse 1
Hip Hop
She won't answer your text nor calls
Anxiety irritation became the best friends yall
Ignore that the hell with that
Use your CD to roll trees
& don't spread the business of your own family
Impale "jake" inhale fate
Exhale hate
Nastier than "Drake" with dicks to taste after kissing Madonna's face
Headache cocaine heat wave cold play
So cool the brain burn rust decay
Pull ups on street capisce
Shut the hell up quit talking
Trees sparking
Refuse to die comes to mind the guy composing in the present time
Blue ink tat. flower
Tetsuo devours
Man don't cry over a girl
I don't go outside I don't do shit
I bet you can't shut up and listen from a song from start to finish without talking through the ending and you talking about you listen
No one cares no one really cares
Step up your business affairs be prepared stay rare never scared
Mature your mind open your eyes feel the sun glares
Open your eyes and feel the sun glares
Chorus:
The sun does exist and it arose from the mist
& I feel it's bliss the energy precipice
Our code to exist our code to exist our code to exist X2
Verse 2
You better have that never leave the porch
Repping with the pack burn your fort
We do enforce that you are moist
Coming with the stats "black" the choice
Laryngitis sounding horse
Hepatitis C- that's your fault
Spit in the cop's coffee
Bloodstream rat poison prison food channel doom
Change news to change views to daughter excelling in school
Smiles no one confuse to those uplifting tunes
Grief is good
Good misery over stood
Giant Andre
Defiant always
Chronic cough haze
Bubonic dark plague sharp topic harp blade
Always cut that rage
Eric Von Daniken came
Chariots of God's reign
Substance sustained
Tat. the face no way
The lighter lit the tip of the needle
Went under the skin remove the splinter people
Lying to these people lethal
We all equal
Hell no
Lying to the face of God
Is evil let's go
Horses tied to the limbs
Pull him apart at the end
The point is to transcend & scope in
Doors of the mind never opened
I enjoyed Justin Bieber getting roasted
Im still flowing
I realize I am not all knowing
Find more in life & do something with it
Do something
(Chorus):
The sun does exist and it arose from the mist
& I feel it's bliss the energy precipice
Our code to exist our code to exist our code to exist X3

Chorus:
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot one to win
Spot ways to win
VERSE:
Easy does it touch it
Was he buzzing in the function?
With percussion was he something?
Was his life really fronting?
Inside you look divine took
The bankers run this country
Elbows bloody
The movie,
View from the zombie
Hat camera
Photo shot spectacular
"Jeru The Damaja"
Like he need me to say his name
So lame
I did it anyway
Much respect
To say in check
The statues of art
Hip-Hop halls I walk
Tag get off your ass & move with class
This is Russell Westbrook fast
But not his dress class
We think we supposed to be somebody
So does everybody lodi dodi party held the shoti
No balls to use it
It's so congruent
The chrome doors, those Angels walked through it
The first verse started strong
The 3rd verse ended soft
The bars all off holocaust at the dawn the skeletons on the yard
Robert Frost poems
Vs. Langston Hughes zone
The lion hunter
Where's the thunder?
So catch it good as Steve Largent
Harvest, what you smoking on?
Is the song strong?
Scaramanga 7 eyes 7 horns
The song recorded all wrong your bars sound soft
Why you scared to say it
Convey it & spray it
Count your blessings
& wisdom is the lesson.
(Chorus)
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win
Stop come again
Plot running thin
Spot ways to win

Enstinctz (verse)
I'm dancing with the devil & my passion
Everyday advancing
Reaching my goals no time for laughing
Straight to the business
That's what I'm about
I show love to everybody no doubt
I don't have no reasons I'm letting out my demons
This could be a hobby & a sport & make money believe it
It just matter where your mind at
Your music or a dime sack
You better decide that before your dream die fast
& I ain't playing around
Every record got a message
I can help you out I'm dropping knowledge
I hope you listen
My ship will never sink
Because we walking on water
You say your crew sick
But I know we much harder
We don't have to boast even though we do the most
Better check your bread & butter before your ass get toast
We indigenous to the realness while your gums still flapping
Get exposed for being fake through these speakers that's blasting
Enstinctz (Chorus:)
Everybody look
We spitting that fire
Everybody shook
Because we stay much higher
So Everybody look
Now it's down to the wire
I'm about to be the dude you hate cause I made you retire
We the new generation all our music on deck
We the new generation you consider us threats
We the new generation so you better come correct
You need to pay attention we ain't stopping till death
Pruven (verse)
Reign fire
Hip Hop attire
Witness digital surveillance
Governments not caring
Apparent abandoned music candid
Physical bandit elaborate technical magic
You ugly with the dandruff
You tell the truth
I'm yelling telling the felons
The white cop shoots the black teen because he believes she stole the watermelon
Race profiling hellish (smell it)
Racist cop relish in pro violence tell it
Speak ways to end it reform reshape it make life the greatest
Insight!
Clarity raw beauty in life
Fire!
Razor wire wrapped around his neck for lack of respect
A wet snatch cum inside like House Arrest
Perhaps
D.D.T. concrete neck snap
Craft words skill
Tiger speed zeal
It's ill my best friends left me for dead for real
Stainless steel truth cuts skin to peel
Some holes in the heart will never be filled
A real man earns his meal
Reign Fire
My paradise tree snake technique won't expire
Music of fire (messiah)
Tablets of the sapphire
New generation climbs higher
Enstinctz (Chorus:)
Everybody look
We spitting that fire
Everybody shook
Because we stay much higher
So everybody look
Now it's down to the wire
I'm about to be the dude you hate cause I made you retire
We the new generation all our music on deck
We the new generation you consider us threats
We the new generation so you better come correct
You need to pay attention we ain't stopping till death
Pruven-(outro)
Never, never
Bronxbarion rising, Enstinctz rising, Pruven rising, Indigenous Culture Records rising

Pruven (verse 1)
Whiskey for breakfast
Exotic text messages
Chinese men made their
Woman bind their feet
At birth cause pain & hurt
They thought it cause the beauty first
Modify the sketch
For the surgical test
What's left the scar tissue sketch
Botox in the breast
For the best body we do not rest
The class advance know the ass implants
Social retards laugh
We bad lab rats
Ebola virus, man made that's a fact
Reflux acid the paragraphs straight classic
Victoria's secret
Was she a king?
Naw she was a man a faggot
It's all been so tragic
Demonic foes
Put the shotgun in your mouth and pull the trigger with your toes
Expose
Soda corrodes the flesh
G.M.O. side effects
We just trying to live our best (correct)
D.N.A. changed chemically
We don't exercise regularly
The hospital feeds off the many deaths in the community
HooK:
ZaZa Ali
Verse 2 (Pruven)
He sniff coke off the switch blade
He pulled the mask down over his face
& then ran into the bank
Big mistake
He felt a shotgun intake
No money gained just a life lost
For greed it was gone
& if rap was all love
The fair ones wouldn't run from corruption
There would be none
From the slums where we from
Our potential with our tongues
Will turn darkness into Sun
This is that King Tut, bear claw, guillotine, advisory poems.
Grab the mic & show them thrones
I show you porcelain & gold & rubies
But you medicated off roofies and living so loopy
Families backstab shot down with the uzies
Muslims wearing bullet proof kufies
From responsibility do not leave
His tunnel vision, is a gold mine for peace
His bloodstream found a cure for "Aids" you see
He knew the right people in the community. (Magic)
Claud Anderson wisdom I use
The school of hard lumps will bruise leave you confused
I'm chilling with Dilated Peoples & D 12 too
See the Evidence in the Proof
Rest in peace to the legends
hook:
Claud Anderson

Pruven (verse 1)
We scatter crews
Select few are coming through
Homonyms in the proof
Garcia Vega pull with a brew
Jason Voorhees fighting Goro, who you chose?
Basketball Bronx park art
Ratchet whore wrong from the start
He don't read no book of Mark (nope)
Ecclesiastic vocals clone the start
I infringed on your right to copy
Sounding sloppy
Lighter to your library
Cremate your energy
Your drained
If Hip-Hop was baseball
Yall Michael Jordan at the plate
Batting .208 (strike out)
Deflate the confidence
Close the gate
To change game to re a rate
Always Bodega corner stores, tobacco tax
Cab drivers perhaps
Getting cars waxed
Probation officers getting faxes from their lawyers
Public pretenders (nigga)
Pretending to care about your life to go figure
(Whoa) Felonies enter
He record but never
(why) Who is to blame?
Society or the actions in his brain. (Lame)
Making excuse lame (shame)
Huh -
Paraplegic self defeated with yourself your not believing
& spit with meaning
SAMPLE
Pruven (Verse 2)
I write harder than you.
No shower for weeks dude stinking on these beats
See these coons remain weak
Defeat the hunt is on
Malebolgia verses Hell Spawn
Electric razor on
Rocking on in college dorm perform (Rock)
You real fake living something that you ain't
Paint brush the pain away
Writing that gorgeous decay
Opposite fame
The white boy at the studio like Sage Francis
Damn it
He look like a addict stabbed up and damaged
Had a Sage Francis tattoo on his ribs
Either he is a true fan or sucks the jizz
Be about your bus..
iness
Suggest song to perform (YOU)
I'm the anti-norm
The Russians helped the Chinese in the Vietnam War
Sworn barbaric with approach (choke)
Limitless metro card smoke
Subways full of dope
Provoke find life vessels there's hope
Protect you vex you
I remain to be the life vessel
Over step fools
Over stepping with values
Basically, become a man of integrity
Sip a Modelo & think great
On the 12th floor of my boy's apartment elevate
Scenery, beat creamery, heat seeking deeds he smoking trees
(Lead)
Incredible Hulk green beating teens
Knowledge so brolic, huh, it's sort of established (bastard)
He decipher text from those emerald tablets
Whoo.. it's magic.

Pruven (verse 1)
Castration delegation
Your pathetic meditation
Out of the realm of the living
Are the phantoms grinning?
On the desk 3 shots of Captain Morgan
While you stay coke snorting
I been confused so confused
Don't know what to do
Hearts doomed
Look at myself words dealt
Caribbean sands cock tails in hand
Property Godly
The rhythm and base they flow through her body
Internet sacrifice the creativity
Sow seeds can't read but G.P.S. on the celly
The bastard rapper from Chicago, "Young Q.C."
Killed his Mom for insurance money
Insanity
He get life get raped to knife
His father doing time too
We doomed
Not true
& Walter Scott got shot by the cop 8 times
We need know rip those tides
Chorus:
Protect your mind, body, spirit
Protect your spirit, body, mind
Protect your mind (spiritual)
Protect your mind, body, spirit
Protect your mind, body,
Protect your spirit (mental)
Protect your mind, body, spirit
Protect your mind, body, spirit (physical)
Protect your mind, body, spirit
Protect your...mind, body, spirit
Pruven (verse 2)
Intuition causing friction
Grimace with the sentence
Splitting senses living wicked soul restricted soul is vengeance (whoa)
No petition with these pictures (c'mon)
All lifted gifted spit it splendid vivid live it with these vital visions
No restriction with these missions (c'mon)
Hack saw circumcision
Coming timid cut short I burn your biscuit
No petition with these glimpses
Coming raw no ending
Jack of all trades days sip the liquid
He's hitting when he's driving
Frost bitten stricken sub-zero cold shatter the body of competition
Decay the henchmen when he's ripping
Holy Grail glisten
Fake in the first place find ways to mention
Mind body riffing iffy when you spitting contradiction
Your character surrounded with suspicion
Dark cave wisdom
No light to fight the bat bite hemorrhaging
Hip-Hop is not forbidden (tell'em)
Not extinguished nor diminished
Eternal light infinite
Brail thoughts are transmitted (boy)
Chorus:
Protect your mind, body, spirit
Protect your spirit, body, mind
Protect your mind (spiritual)
Protect your mind, body, spirit
Protect your mind, body,
Protect your spirit (mental)
Protect your mind, body, spirit
Protect your mind, body, spirit (physical)
Protect your mind, body, spirit
Protect your...mind, body, spirit

Pruven (verse 1)
Fist band the chest twice
Fuck who you say is nice
Struck thrice hold heist hold a golden mic device
Hold fight insight willing to write
Debug your head of life
Conquer the disrespectful
Head cold flu
Learn from the funeral drum roll true
Ride the beat slide to me dishonor thieves
Sip a Grolsch
Sprew a quote
I'm getting honor and anger though
Bang a hoe
Use to care but not no more
Father "Time"
Sitting fine
We sipping blue tea to heal the arthritis right in His spine
Acidic minds
Burn for Lucifer crimes
Refine the Jezebel
You can't so oh well
Her queen traits failed
There's coke in the blunt
Chaos that you hunt
Define the word "What"
With punks that stunt in the studio that front
Life is no game
Select Few we trust
Chorus:
Be real to you
Trust a Select Few
Select few we trust
We kicking up the dust
Show love to everyone
Show love to everyone
The emcee's job is never done (x2)
Scvtter Brvin (verse 2)
At my best still try to keep improving
A space ghost coast to coast keep it moving
While they in quick sand
Knee deep in a street illusion
A Mushroom cloud
All you see was me & Pruven
No days off
Everything remain raw
The word shark sound like I'm juggling chainsaws
I paid off the referees in the playoff
And did a séance
Had to face off with Adolf
I'm half machine
A rebel from Heaven's core
The brown "He-Man" mixed in with "Skeletor"
Fuck the beef I'm eating plants like a Stegosaur
In a cage with metallic books out in Ecuador
I'm formless
Turn satan to a sword eater
Auspicious
Slay demon like Lord Shiva
No one in my klan giving a fuck
Playing soccer on P.C.P how I'm kicking up dust
Chorus:
Be real to you
Trust a Select Few
Select few we trust
We kicking up the dust
Show love to everyone
Show love to everyone
The emcee's job is never done (x2)

Pruven (verse 1)
High as those Nazca Lines
Nazca Lines
Nazca Lines
He's high as those Nazca Lines
Twisting up as I walk by
"Jordan L. Mott" junior high
Dance with a gold tone
Advance hold your own home
"What you talking bout yo?"
Did bitterness grow as old age arose?
Mind operates free thinking
Tattoo the face of "death"
Divine dominates greed wishing
Do you know your best? (huh?)
She look good in them white sheets
Little feet
Rock band from the "70's"
Acid tongue sheets
Nail color purple
Tongue kissing virtue
Her father was fan of last name "Walker"
& first name "Herschel"
Back with a run
Running back with the funds
Concrete tongue
Pavement wisdom
Rise from slums
Hear vomit on eardrums
Naw
Find happiness to mom's birthday kiss to Christmas open packages exist
Ignore religion
Ignore the symptoms
I mold my own zone of spiritual wisdom
I'm spiritual
Not religious there's a big difference
Say
(chorus)
You like her more than she like you
You like her more than she like you
You like her more than she like you
Stay true move along be strong
You like her more than she like you (Come on)
You like her more than she like you (Say word)
You like her more than she like you (Naw)
Stand up be strong
verse 2
By the time he realized she was no good for him
It's too late
Love turn to hate feels like a mistake
Some say move away or stay
Her face transform from a Queen to that Jezebel snake
No pretender
He met her off of "Tinder" in the winter
He thought she was a thinker (nope)
& not really
Cocky with hoe tendacies she slept around frequently
You like, people you not supposed to like
Their energies won't ignite
Can't be too nice in life
He drove her everywhere
She did not care
He was too nice and that cause despair
She admit
She like guys that treat her like shit
& little did she know he treated girls like awfulness bitch
Before this trick
She didn't realize it
& wasn't on his level to exist
& even though she was fine
Grotesque inside
Too selfish immature
Had a good guy for sure
He was a good man
& she let go of destiny's hand
Follow the signs
Not all stars are meant to align
Powerful, powerful
Karma
Whatever, so I say...
(chorus)
You like her more than she like you (Come on)
You like her more than she like you (Tell"em)
You like her more than she like you (That's right)
You like her more than she like you
You like her more than she like you
You like her more than she like you (Tell'em)
You like
You like
Stand strong these are real songs
You like her more than she like you
You like her more than she like you
You like her more than she like you
Real songs stand up be strong
High as those Nazca Lines
Nazca Lines
Nazca Lines
He's high as those Nazca Lines
