Take actions accordingly Before the cops replaced by the military National Guard, marshal law, atomic bombs Taking firearms, Humans getting chainsaws Your real flawed with governmental laws What are you believing in them for? The husband drug overdoses. Wifey takes the pictures of him & on Facebook she post it. We drowning in the ocean Ignorance floating Lungs burst cursed from the first From the dirt We living so wreck less on this earth Lil teens think they hard I-phones seeing fights scream “World Star” so bizarre Their mind flawed Public Enemy’s “Terminator X” said it best, “Today’s mainstream rap is the worse yet confess” Make a change make a difference With intuition and wisdom Breaking down all these mental prisons Be the man that the woman you want would love to have. You want ass? You must have maturity to straight grab. Which maturity? Respect for the community? Research people who came before you. Advance the truth future is bright too Grenades left up in the booth Explode with fun & stop being that depressing one Chorus: Respect trials Mike Larsen Oliver Hart styles My abilities give you the Eyedea to “Smile” Hip hop’s child I’m in the family now Hip hop Im in the family now Respect trials Mic larcen Oliver heart styles My abilities give you the idea to just smile Hip hop’s child I’m in the family now Hip hop Im in the family now VERSE II Raw notion Ancestor tossed off the ships into oceans. “Live in Today”, that remains the slogan. I am the underwater sculpture in Grenada In honor of my ancestors Thrown overboard by slave traders Drown a hater choke on divine favor Your soul’s in danger Racist will always face their Maker. Scrolls from your savior Wisdom train ya Teach you behavior from your creator Your throat was caught in the alligator’s jaws You wac for spitting soft The game busted you keep writing Your game face “Tim Duncan” not exciting Raise your knuckles to the heavens Raise your knuckles to the heavens Fist with aggression I’m knocking out your protection The truth is the weapon The wordplay been in session The mind believes in, No compassion for these demons. So I find love From up above (shove) & I save spirits right from these Hell’s Slums.

Lyrics* Diamond Pearl Verses. Wordplay emcee. (hook) Approach the mic with focus. Ready to speak with purpose. These are these are, Diamond pearl verses. Approach the mic with focus. Ready to speak with purpose. These are these are, Diamond pearl verses. Approach the mic with focus. Ready to speak with purpose. These are these are, Diamond pearl verses. Focus! Diamond pearl, diamond pearl, diamond pearl... lyrics. Diamond pearl verses. (Verse) I found ways to break sound. Break ground. Break barriers of who, what, when plus the how. Break down mysteries. Break frowns break Satan and be proud. Diamonds with the pearls. Pearls with the diamonds. Diamond stars aligning. Who's defining the art of rhyming? Signing dying, Human hybrid. Magnetic allure. Raw metaphors Left upon Satan's floor. The verse dungeon sound. Substance year round. Underground but above the clouds. Your family made the failure popular Capisce. You deceive. Creative thoughts with no actions are incomplete. I will be me. The wordplay true emcee. You talking about T.V.? Your Aunt has the Cancer. You not after real life matters. Your cypher is full of laughter. Your skull got some serious head fractures. After embarrassment, You never read your book Life chapters. The rapture the factor you bastards are all true actors. You never kept your word. Poverty straight burns. You got to pay for something in your life. Either you worship the dark, Or you worshipping in the light. Take flight. Take flight. Take flight. Take, take flight. (hook) Approach the mic with focus. Ready to speak with purpose. These are these are, Diamond pearl verses. Approach the mic with focus. Ready to speak with purpose. These are these are, Diamond pearl verses. Approach the mic with focus. Ready to speak with purpose. These are these are, Diamond pearl verses. -the mystic with the crystal ball, speaking reality to all yall.

In a word of sin, find the light In a world of sin, be the light Lil teen boy too spoiled So arrogant No friends by his side is loyal He’s hard headed He’s dreaded In social events he’s invisible Seen as not likable often ridiculed Pretty girls call him pitiful But they don’t know what he’s been through In foster homes he ate his food. No mom or dad too Now he wants to be a bully too to control you Impress these fools Girls and the dudes That made his ego black & blue Violence begets more violence. That’s the chant. He wanted to kill his classmates, But couldn’t kill a ant. He wanted pay back, a great life A real life He put down the hand gun and knife & began to write He put down his foster dad’s hand gun & began to write to the light under the sun. He put down his foster dad’s hand gun & began to write under the light of the sun. Chorus: He sat down to just write Sat down to write The poetry inside helps with hard times He sat down to write sat down to write The poetry inside helps with hard times He sat down to write sat down to write The poetry inside will help with the hard times. Sat down to write he sat down to write The poetry inside will help with hard times. Poetry, the poetry, the poetry, the poetry, the writer. Verse II Her cellphone alarm goes off. It’s time to work hard Ride. Another day for her job. Former alcoholic now 7 years clean. Social worker right here trying to raise two seeds. 1 girl 1 boy Two different fathers neither one of them employed. Her life feels destroyed. Yet powerful, faithful it’s heartfelt . Social activist raising these two kids by herself Wipes the cold from her eyes Get ready on time. Her kids for work, she got to be there by 9. Drives a “Saturn” Problems with her car, still praising God To help her strong in the spiritual war. Fights for survival Times will test you Reads her bible for clues To gain the spiritual truth. Feeling blessed cashing in on her “Wick” checks. Food stamp vex government assistance is next. Yet, gorgeous in her appearance Gorgeous in her spirits You’ve got to hear it. She will make it the strong Woman not forsaken. She sat down to write In pain & spite. Chorus: She sat down to write sat down to write The poetry inside helps with hard times She sat down to write sat down to write The poetry inside helps with hard times.

Verse Lower back pain. Headaches & migraines. On topic Off topic The arrow's tip The flesh ripped Red wine from cup sipped Silver sword slash ankle falls to trip Silver necklace. Gold turban will fit. Militant threat. Bayonet injects in the chest and slice to neck The life is set your best bet the corpse will come. Who spits for fun? Who raped the nun? The Sun is done Who's to say? The Black dude. Hey! Rep the culture. The African order. The blackman impregnate the white girl. Love your world. Moonlight fog darkness. Bloody fingertips sliding the bullets in the cartridge Lock & loaded Gun toting Gun roasting Gun exploded Your jawline toasted Blows the smoke from the barrel Bloody apparel Walking over the corpse wiping the dust from his flannel There is war in the latrines. Men fiend blood pour so it seems Seen soldiers turn blood fiend. Clean murder unheard of Giving truth like Sojourner. Bear trap catching these rap wac whores. Why the library closing before the liquor stores?

Image, create, live New start, new beginnings, new heart, new winnings New visions, he’s using what’s giving. Hell’s damnation, Heaven’s miracle. A select few That poison is melodic too. Friendships fail Others excel. Hardships with yourself. Excel built to prevail. San Diego to Connecticut. Egyptian hieroglyphs. Sun set, focus & move with stealth. Read audiobio’s made him “dro”. Wordplay hieroglyphics thinking intricate, real life I’m living. I laugh I cry , pay bills on time Have sex, some bills are behind. Smoke trees with a Goddess Obtain more knowledge. Read more. Divine strong right in his core. Beauty in small things Presence of king. Sign sings. Divine rings, on his hand He stand as a man divine plans, His spirit, will expand. The Wordplay Sensei The Wordplay Sensei Verse II I pick up where they left off They real soft. Use to be friends we don’t speak no more. Change & Fury. Bulletproof Kufi’s. Movies in “Hollywood” have subliminal meanings Criminal heathens saying Pruven ,depressing with all reasoning. Spiritually speaking the Ying & Yang. Poetry is the blade that sticks in ribcage Grip the stage, speak as a Sage. Upgrade today’s youth & pray & stop demonic decay. Spoken as a truth art form. As a man perform, set sail and just sail off Mausoleums in Russia. Lethal & I crush ya. Leaving notebooks of thought for you to discover. I don’t make you dance like the manage, Trois, Pop pills, I make you dance mentally in bars. Thought long catching bombs like Randy Moss Balling with “White Chocolate” spitting brolic spit ill to never stop it. I spit ill. I’m still living using what’s giving the emcee right here still spitting. It’s the pain It’s the fury The glory The blesssings The failures The dj’s The news The lies the truth The church The religion The wars The happiness The pitchfork The eyes of the Hawk The silence The recovery The friendships that ended The prayers The answers The sinning The baby first steps The missiles launching The gas prices The E.B.T. cards The 7 presidents after, Barack Obama by far Spit SARS from my jaws.

Area Awareness *Lyrics* (hook) Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here We don't want you round here Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here We don't want you round here Love the underdog. Underdogs for Life. Hitting you up side the head with a pipe. Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here We don't want you, round here Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here We don't want you, round here (verse) The bags under your eyes Telling your timeline's demise. We all fall We all rise. With a prize to use your mind. & I sign my name on the bloodline. The African goldmine. Ethopian diamonds in the dirt. Road to search. Battle for your turf. Mind with your rhyme Orgasm lines made her squirt. Use the pen to write your future. Erase manure smell fresh for your producer. Steak knife cut clean. Raise lost teens. Have'em bouncing more than Kangaroos on trampolines. Use self esteem. The angel's wings ripped off. Call him soft, mean, obscene, I'm a half breed. Half Nephilim half African. Words wrestling Labor with hands working harder than Ecuadorians. Hammer to the jaw. Stepping with a course. Repping with a force Knowledge, regain strong for us all. Better be ready for the brawl. (raw) Horus. I'm him for the chorus. George Foreman stomach blows pouring knocked out he's snoring. Concussions pray for him the wind sucked out him. Regain! He touch the mic it sounds like a shame. So you see, Graffiti tag my name on the Halls Of Infinity. (hook) Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here We don't want you, round here Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here We don't want you, round here Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here We don't want you, round here Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here Round Here We don't want you round here We don't you, We don't want you round here. Real Hip-Hop here. We don't want you round here. Round Here Round Here.

Trust yourself, trust yourself, trust yourself Really really trust yourself Trust yourself, trust yourself, Trust, trust, in yourself. Various distractions attacking focus lacking I swear, you searching for something not there. Gems are called “FARIDAT”. Raise your plot Pitiful sight that we write for your mind soon to rot Stop corpse Oxygen breathed right into the corpse of force. I’m the Land of the “Moors” With a sword through your vocal chords. The bloodline, Amanda Bynes doing lines. Who controls your 3rd eye? The lazy eye, crooked bottom teeth That’s me, defeat all your weak occult beef. The wordplay emcee What you speak is always week Gargantuan gross prof. fees. Speaking nonsense My spiritual armor will never tarnish. Cyclops blinded, audio art rewinding, I study with the minds of these classic wisemen. Tongues dying tragically enforce a dying harmony. I say this music salvaged me. Check check check it out Ch..Check it out Ch.. Ch. Check Check Check it out My body a light source for darkness. Consciousness, open the doors to all the chakras . Vivid offers, All describe pen God often. My queen sleeps in her golden glow coffin. (what?) You feast in lust & don’t eat you starving. Greet peace you deceive and leave all harming Others wonder why you can’t be a complete Artist. The mind is the muscle out power all the darkness Time & pain will dull all the damn sharpest. I rhyme & find arrows with the archers. Heaven aligned the bulls eye yo you not the smartest. In the novels of existence,I am a published author. Check check check it out Trust yourself, trust yourself, trust yourself Really really trust yourself Trust yourself, trust yourself, Trust, trust, in yourself. Check check check it out Check it out Check check check it out.

Jah's Dahgah 02:56
My Columbian cat, he straight told me I won’t have a hit in the music industry Unless a song goes hard Becomes a strip club hit & spit the money making Swag pimp irrelevance Not everybody can be M.J. down the lane Some got to play Mario Chalmers now adays Play your roll let it flow You want to go “D1” To “D3” on your knees rise to your feet. Sexy lyrics slide right down the pole. No stripper lap dance substance I do not hold. No V.I.P. flow after life roll Bang your hoe. More pennies upon this floor. No dollars Cambodian drive a new blue Impala D.N.A. contain T.H.C. from these Rastas Pray hard go hard lifestyle so proper Burning blue flame I will torch your name. Human strange wisdom recorded from my brain. Opposite the strange rearrange the game & your frame. Escape the pain Labyrinth maze Or feel Jah’s razor blade upon yo face. Chorus: Razors to the face of these Demons Find Heaven’s meaning. No regrets. Build intellect. (repeat) Verse II The math don’t lie The mathematics in mind Competition . The pure spirit of the wisdom: Listen. While they were sleeping I was working hard Became a Czar. Reprogram the brainwash It’s game time, it’s game time Say it one more time, it’s game time. Analyze crime within the community. You see, They closed the Y.M.C.A. down because of greed. The industry makes speaking consciousness depressing & speaking violence and ignorance remains the blessing. Do you know the answers to all your spiritual questions? Aggressions. They say I’m boring, depressing and so monotone But I know I flow and care for the community as a whole. Black people don’t own to many businesses Racism is wicked I struggle to live independent. It strengthen my vision to break down spiritual friction. Persistence, I free all the caged victims. Times are brutal it’s so crucial, I want to mature my thoughts and become more useful Chorus: Razors to the face of these Demons Find Heaven’s meaning. No regrets. Build intellect. (x4)
