Edgar J 03:19
Hands up don't shoot. I'm just a messenger. Delinquent deliveries. John Dillinger in immediate danger. Edgar J on the way to lay a payday. I parlay with FBIs under disguise. Tequila sunrise. Hoover vacumm suckas don't think outside the crack room unless faced with black doom. You leave the money and i take it. I rake it. I get a house and a blanket. Water under the bridge and i great lake this. You ain't real so you fake it. You like these dudes without raincoats that can't keep their game afloat, i put you in the same boat. Take note from a prokaryote. Worked rags up to tote bags and glossy mags. I put tags on these animals caught in my trap. I draw the points on the map. Now I'm all up in this rap, all about the cheese. I'm with the plague of emcees we a disease, airborne like the breeze. Infection of your section goes in every direction. I won the election, your votes I appreciate but aesthetics are pathetic for my ethic. Stay copastetic if you don't get it then get with it because the program is a hologram. (no one gives a damn) i'm cutting tracks faster than tangrams. Plane from Rotterdam back to San Francisco, my lifestyle is high speed a bullet train ignition of superstition surrounding purple rain. My party petition your campaign, I'm a split personality. Bipolar. Partition insane. Twenty eight day zombie i feel no pain, empty brain. Down the drain high on crushed candy cane. klansmen neo-nazi scene come clean shooting AKs at evergreens and canned beans. Raise the bar. Society isn't far from a "race war" [genocide] we left for a star that had a single planet. Together we solid like granite and the universe we understand it... but nah... you ain't about all that... i am a public threat based on the hate mail that i get. Simple minds are set to always forget. Ya'll number in the thousands isolated like Pacific islands (set up hedge funds and raining hundreds - we winning by infinity) they say we meant to be supreme entity. Three of me holy trinity. god creates man --> man destroys god --> open source customize mods. Haters are arthropods. Digest wave crest toothpaste based waste too fast-paced to get disgraced by what i've faced... laced cash and burned hash to send assassins on your stash. Cuz you don't know about me and my old way! This kid and what he did back in the day, best for you to stay out of my way if you can't get down now with how i play.

Quake 03:31
Arms dealers on some farms to 18-wheelers, sent out feelers to update your potato-peelers.. Monkey wrench guys cooks funky french fries remain dream state self-esteem fate my teammate on the bench cry - No time for you to play in my game! Trade away for cash money and spend it in my name. Wannabe gangsters all the same. Heads or tails? Hang in shame. If it's not about the struggle then it's all fame, ya'll are lame. I take you to small claim to see who is to blame. Your defense is inflated and alibi is outdated. While i persistently create some people consistently hate. I set up checkmate like bridgegate and you deflate. More agents than polyphosphate. Wake and bake magnitude ten earthquake - Hit the brake! Model and make. Suspects is fake, these times is high stake something new to to take when i make my own trip back to Salt Lake. I give a man kicks when he's down and i got more tricks you just a side-show clown. I wear the crown Frostburg to Berlin, MD cast magick like Merlin. Heads go whirling. Remain lost following cost in artistic holocaust. I rhyme sadistic because we just a statistic... ... ... you missed it... find some new skills why don't you craigslist it? The pen is mighty and my department more high tech than it. I stay pissed at WHITEY beat him at his own sport overtoss the boss of lacross even if i fall short to scale the walls of yalls fort drop the ball in yalls court. It kills you that i skill you, sorry it's involuntary... you look through my book jealous like Salieri. Tryna jack my requiem that's why they call me an equilibrium. It's competition because you are incompetant no recognition. Remix like ignition pedal to the metal. Pipe hot tea kettle. I talk to the lawyers and keep things settled only because i'm in the black and ya'll is whack. America under attack like orange is the new crack, game stay the same bradley milton. Flowers wilting at the hotel Hilton, screams in the hall are echoes of pain and drops of rain on cans of propane. Turn up the GAIN. Ten to eleven lucky seven i'm in heaven above the underground i make the wonder sound. I remember that boy drowned missing in Great Falls washed up in Georgetown.

Put this in your big mac? Cheddar makes stacks i want a house like them millionaires down in Fairfax. Spare tax i share computer hacks i need that full tank in the bank. I do the hanky-pank roll 'dro so stank the titanic sank. Jodie Foster vs imaginary imposter on the roster. Poster boy acting coy set to annoy my money ain't a toy. EYES ON THE PRIZE wise guys i despise. Comprehend i have no friend that means no cash to lend or send. Ain't enough hours in the day so i might as well give [everything] i ain't here to pay *capice? shish-ka-bob what's the next job? which stash to rob? don't listen to the snitch runt or this will turn into a witch hunt. I stitch the front patch while them dudes in the back snatch the pack and now the batch is lack. no... i didn't say "bitch"... i watch the bay like mitch run on the sand i sell on demand to supply the hand. Teach yourself a few tricks and read up on economics. Is it all worth it? Putting together these words something for the birds and pondered by nerds. Why did i pass up academic studies? I thought them dudes were my buddies. Am i a fool to give up school to try and look cool? i shouldn't focus on the image i'm still in scrimmage. Can i be someone successful? Do i even have a slim chance? I feel like an infant but also a starved dog. Shadows in the fog old man in a carved log. Forever young another rung.

Rose 02:56
Pull up to the tea party. Class "in it for me" departing. Sipping on Sangsters because we real gangsters. Huckabees on Bacardi i got cheese like Havarti. I gotta have at it. I gotta get back to Havana. I wanna marijuana. Cops cobana. Guyana banana class. Ya'll best call ya mamma my money only fatter. I dipped out to Colorado I had to. HAH HAH HAH HAH i'm the mad hatter climbing corporate ladders no worries hakuna matatta so meet my rat a tatta. Yo - some of them get nasty, they hustling fast, see? Ghost in the shell i am ghastly. I represent living hell i summon demonic majesty. I take away joy from your life now you modern tragedy and any of ya'll still mad at me come holla at me. High speed mechanical Maserati i chop beats karate. I got the shawty and got the hottie sexy bodies Emporio Armani and punanny all up on me. I get all the money. Yo girl she be scrawny while i'm at the coliseum like Yanni when the day be dawning... and when it's over i still won't be sober. I bite like a cobra. BRRR! i'm cold bruh look over your shoulder at the money folder yo girlfriend come over for that dope i sold her. The rest i told you. Western dreaming so much cash the life you all about now hangs in doubt. I bought you out. Want to come through where i'm at? Take you another route. What america needs is straight talk but we at the halftime show we wait chalk. This is street ball, market executives bait ya'll. I am the void and your actions keep me annoyed so i'm calling up the blues brothers ain't talking Dan Aykroyd. I make you paranoid zombie more human than humanoid. I KNOW YOU CAN SEE ME AND I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR, TOO - BUT YOU AIN'T ALL THAT YOU WOULD THINK TO WHO YOU APPEARED TO. the sun don't shine forever, cold change of the weather. Times is different from when we used to stay together, The grade has been made and tonight i get paid. find me in the shade plotting the raid on the snitch house... ain't no running up and being like "yo... which house???" desert sun assertion going blind as i'm searching, blasting Fela Kuti i'm looking for Ms. Belachew with the cutie.

Springfield 02:32
Some people don't like when i get behind the mic or maybe cuz i get money from riding a bike? Tomato tomatto i'm working government shadows. Darkness, you afraid! New friends have been made i get paid you a marble bouncing around my arcade. Your style is weak and hasn't been played because you fade. i don't even feel bad for you because i love what i do. Human faces outline the traces of a landmine while my music combine with outer space. i'm in a race against time. formula update, medulla oblong state all wrong. Some among the room with the loud crowd throwing everything at us i'm a cumulonimbus cloud. your status get rained on by stratus. Rude awakening. Fake out the king. I'm laundering. Pondering a drain on the brain cross section. Pray for rain. Missile toss ejection John McCain PTSD i feel the pain. Helicopter crashes left as smoldering ashes. Skin agents... bio-weapons... in the older stashes we call them the colder rashes while we wearing shoulder sashes. Military fashion shows. House of the stash will blow. The gear ain't up to par for ancient TV stars or getaway GT cars. We don't get too far past Fort Belvoir. Getaway boat keeps the squad afloat. Come on men, don't think grim! They only took down one of us and we drink to him, it's sink or swim. My glass is full to the brim. Officer pulled me over then he fined, people watch their own kind. i think i'm going blind can't see the sunlight. i thought i had done right until i brought money to a gun fight. What am i supposed to do? People arguing about who bad things happen to. Parallel universe far from hell i went there first. Crowds disperse as coins from an old lady's purse. i only communicate in driving home this crazy verse, my rhyme make casualties on my own time cuz i'm the lazy hirsch. I'm the Crazy Horse mountain rising from the forest. When it comes to sound i'm Everest out of touch with the rest. I'm a rat in a cage counting bars number the stars jump out in front of cars. Be-bop caffeine and soda pop codeine. i run the cop shop go green. As real as your computer screen. Stick with playing your video game machine. Despite all of my rage, you've seen me get old with age and no longer on the stage.

Stadium 02:04
Have my words lost meaning? i'm only just cleaning. Out with the junk flow you a punk fo sho who woulda thunk yo can't even funk tho. Can't do it like we do. Lightweight snitches look see-through. CHECK 1-2. The game right here that's what i hold meant to be sold. Haven't you been told? Laughing at some of yall. Real niggas must protect DC. i'm in the Mile High but you'll still see me (This is project with a life of it's own, i search for new prospects not like another clone) my music unknown just like my cash flow. i stay high not off my own stash yo. Rocky road bandits with the tire slash know. Yo girl see me look how her eyelash go... watch out for that car crash tho! Assholes behind the wheel i still get paid you find the deal. Set your mind on "real" who gives a fuck? It is mine to steal. It's dog eat dog learned that from white folks (many late night tokes they can't say the right jokes) saying shit they can't say to people's face like how my people win the race except the paper chase. Steepest gradient to the stadium arcadium. i'm in DC next day same tricks i played on em. Hot like radium i got high tech knives i'm bladium on the podium turn up on your custodians. This ain't the road you want so turn around unless you supposed to front. Holla at PJ make a dollar my way. Yeah i stay a jerk because i got the work but dealing with fake bitches that's not the perk. They don't like me just want to be like me. Ya'll try to shoot me like Spike Lee but that will not be likely. Gonna fuck up your Nike and roam the outback like *crikey!* YOU IN DANGER if you don't pay my money, the lone ranger i grew up being called a dummy as a kid, nowadays strangers say i talk funny because i got the dabs and they sweet as honey. Forty dollar slab and now they holler from the cab riding Uber straight to Jiffy Lube or getting new stares but i'm cool so WHO CARES? i'm selling you shares and i give ya two scares. i photoshop a cop and make them stop with new layers. Crackers stay loyal to the pig so i gotta get back to my royal... she's at the crib.

Olympics 02:25
The music you pick makes me too sick. i see days when dee-jays don't get the leeway ripping off my beats on the freeway. Do this three-way: management performance and talking head. Down the horse road to morse code knocking said you need guidance walking the dead. Quietness in the nihilism of graphic violence, i hate tools and made-for-TV fools. you an appliance. My alliance with defiance. Ohio is a no-go stick with the pogo devils of hell. Already took it you bozo. Sad clown i get down with the old sound but fed raids surround the Cascades they sicking hounds, they brought the whole pound. Ain't paying you to stand around don't leave tracks on the ground for my own piece of mind. Even if i was blind i would still be on my grind and hard to find. Prime minister resigned cuz i was voted by humankind. Calls for appeal are declined. Haters call me dictator but they cater to the system curator. Shouts out to Oregon crater lake smoke on the water it's useless to resist i'm Darth Vader hence the respirator. Shraeder valve blown trombone alert. We prone to missile cones and unmanned drones which can hone in on the smallest stone and put an end to your ZONE to my knowing. Aerospace dynamics i'm Boeing cash is flowing, intel on global coordinates always growing. i keep surveillance on my enemies and where they are going. you think you hear the wind blowing? used to sleep at night but now i'm 24-7. Earth is tight no room for a heaven. To the delight of crackers on the far right major party shenanigans are coming back again. Vatican panicking moving mannequins cut up into rations before castration. i'm at the gas station. Posted up at the Extra Mile paranoid haven't been so high in a while. i look up from the file New York style artificial smile. Train and gyro plane from Cairo to the Blue Nile tinseltown committee doesn't need any pity. i used to run jobs in DC the capitol city. Wish i had a siamese kitty. The money always looks pretty working the streets always been gritty. When elected governor, political bore will be no more. Masses excited for what we have in store came through the door and now have the floor. Gore tex what i wore cuz you some poor specks.

Shining 02:20
Step aside to the magician's table. Are the politicians able? Does the economy look stable? National security fairy tale or aesop fable conquest of purity to ensure the weak we hit the peak but we stay high and play it fly. Who would even try to believe you'll never die? Tell me why i identify with how they classify the masses (topic sticky like molasses) tricky asses bask in a solar lodge and dodge around the hodge-podge issue at hand they issue any command. Every question you ask i answer with disaster. Asteroid crash. Cut with plaster hunt for Snallygastor. Mysteries of the old line. Fallen icicles point to cold signs. Frozen hands hold the sign. Symbols align we out of time. Range of reasons for the change of seasons. I reign the legion, tell someone to feed ya. i'm the fearless leader and you refuse to give props. How you lose to these jocks. Make a move but you'll never be on top. you could say the same about me but only dream of this weed. you leaning hard on that knee while i turned a card to a key rip off cribs in Olney: jewelry PS3 new swag for me. i steal all that i see and you ain't get it back. i keep it next to my stack with all the shit that i jacked as a matter of fact. F everyone TALKING. Whole club is rocking. Police knocking no one is walking. Microphone 4-3-2 i don't give a fuck who everybody act a fool. NOBODY stay cool. Pay the DJ in cash and bubble oil hash going double on the stash turn to trouble in a flash. SWERVE just try not to crash. i'm chilling on the sidelines fresh like Steve Nash. Styles clash happy birthday bash cake with extra icing i take what i be sicing i'm not fond to share. Blonde of hair don't respond nor i care alone by the pond then it dawned on my thinking looked up from what i was drinking at the radio towers blinking. Lights turning on and off. Island of the dead cough. Rachmaninoff. i'm a music composer but write with a bulldozer all over your spot and because i throw down without thought so tell me what you got? Hefeweisen shot of highland event horizon robot. Raise both eyebrows (?????????????) all your hair you're in for a scare. Reach out into thin air... i've created nothing you will ever compare.

i'm all about the money, man... i think about it go insane... yeah i spend it yeah i ball yeah i stack it yeah it all. i ride around while they sitting down ya'll ain't with it but yeah i get yeah i get it but do ya'll get it... now? Cuz ya'll said it.. how??? i eat small-timers like GrubHub chow rub-a-dub two honeys in the tub now. i go down like a submarine rest of ya'll float like polystyrene. make u drown. with. sub. screams. no police sirens throw the case out. Meth heads smoke the base out cuz that used to be me... nah... the bass guitar. KB and headies to the face to far. i'm waiting now... but how long will i wait? The p/u is running late and the job is going ot of state. The moment i have to make... a rhyme ... i'm out of time. My pen starts flowing but i need cash so i get going. Ya'll need to recognize as you believe a stack of lies. me? i got a rack of ties machine of the connect so i mechanized. Mack the knife a bloody way to say you jacked a life only can only hope as i run like a jackalope. Don't expect to bathe where the young fountain hides through the desert and over the mountain sides. Militants defect but don't take the bait. i'm not here to prospect you tates but with respect i wait. i watch these rock bands tied to the clock hands while blood flow in Syria and Iraq lands. Delirious demands. Mysterious sands. i don't understand. you some fake robots you take low shots. What nobody gots in the spot well you not. Never will be as long as you are guilty. i invented this style, it's proprietor is still me. Big dabs that's a cough load. Expedition test drive off road. Now i'm at these trap shows doing big things but seen some whack flows and i'm from Silver Spring. Smash the crown on the ground and then kill your king. Buzz on my op feds built to sting. Stay up until birds lost will to sing. Hot tamale. Over a year to eat that molly. That was in Fort Collins. i woke up 38th & Holly. i dig up your network like a prairie dog and colonize nightmares coming through the scary fog. Yeah. i cut teeth on many fiber optics i'm cycloptic a cyborg. Laser iron fist but only now i'm PISSED because the drop-ship i missed just when i start to make A-list and wrote it all down before i write up any mutineers to many cheers and make your controlling ass walk the plank (because u stank)... they all say PJ that cool cat died 8x for the squad but the last time he go ain't gonna holla at God. Check the map. i fell off to put Hell on. i ain't a felon but i send my crew around world like Ferdinand Magellan.

Entire city is on fire, twisted metal rising upward. Momentarily stubborn face in medicine cupboards. End of world money anarchist to capitalist i remain on the watchlist but here comes the plot twist... i shift paradigms and put a rift in space and time with awkward pace to my rhyme. Rats on the the scene of the crime. DC infested by rodenta invested from the center [Senator] the Don requested polenta and cops arrested the renter. Money and narcotics i lent you, who blew up psychotic. Step out of your placenta, must've dropped your rubber nipple. your mouth yaps and blubbers it trickles, you acting little texting me riddles. Lazy ass coming at me with the hammer and sickle. It's raining Skittles only green for the jealous and over-zealous i cook mean cuisine. Kids 12x more gangsta than you and they barely 14. Either you get with my routine or you unseen. Keep my name out of your mouth if you want the 200. i'm a number one stunna and a long distance runner... coming down from Maryland tonight i'll be in northwest won't be able to leave until i heard the canary confessed chirped up quite a song when the police came along. Could have done the right thing but instead chose wrong. i burst into sunspots. Rangers remain unbought. Still feel your pain lot with insane thoughts of what the hurricane brought, now the storm has moved south of us according to my calculus. Need more analysis and direction from the mouth of Gus. i'm Van Sandt chasing elephants that try to block my shock rock but can't. Fifth dimension transplant. Projection of reality is an abnormality calling for injections of instability. Rejections of morality. Money for this research and hired Einsteins develope styles that will only be mine. Experimental design ace of outerspace on a moonbase, i saw the sign. We wine and dine, she take the baby some place... that girl been gone. Don't turn around. Fake hustlers are frowned upon. i can hear the sound of dawn breaking onamatopoeia. Reclusive like North Korea i'm on more vodka than Crimea. Santa Maria. Slave ship diagram painted as a brave trip by uncle same. AMERICAN HISTORY IS SPAM: public inquiry on the scam! There's a mystery behind who i am. Silence of the lamb. Black sheep of the clan asleep in the back of the van i roll out the plan. Deep into night i creep up. i'm the right man for the highway ramp job and disappear after i rob and bring the stash back to camp on bother knob to hide out from the mob.
