lyrics

Defcee
I know what I don’t deserve, and I know all the smoke I’ve earned.
Covered in the dirt I threw. Smelling like the dope I burned.
I learned nothing lasts forever, but I want my name to try. I
can’t stand the rain, but drained it dry on this page of rhymes.
Paper sky that drizzles ink. Shattered dishes where I threw
That kitchen sink. Peeped every gray area and lit it pink.
Littered links on Twitter feeds. Complained when it ain’t hit for me.
Jealous that the homies made it. Didn’t pay their ticket fees.
Misery loves cliques and teams. Some of em hanging my jersey up.
Doubled my paper. It urned to dust. Stuck in the chamber, and turned to rust.
Budgets with vacancies running away from me under mistakes that weren’t worth enough.
Stumbling lazily, hunger was catering, hustling change til these burdens dumped.
Exorcism’s exercise, cleansin sin with cinderblocks.
Medicine to mend the mind: pencils in the tinderbox.
Write this burning out my head. Forest fires in the blood.
Time is turning round the bend. Hope that I don’t miss the bus.

CRASHprez
Called to take the present tense as I
Keep one J entrenched in yesterday
Jaw agape to feast upon this life
While the future drench me in malaise
Prime myself to show somebody love
That’s enough to make an enemy
Find some help, or go to God above
Or pack it up when ain’t no friend to keep
Retreat, but no givin’ it up
Three deep, and we whippin’ amuck
If you think we sweet, ain’t no Entenmann tucked
We sneak with a criminal strut
But that’s what the neighbor see
A waste if we ain’t in the Major Leagues
But cain’t let my homeostasis tweak
Keep the balance
Speak your peace, you might greet the Fallon
Might reach the Roots, increase the mileage
You breach the truth, they’ll greet with talons
Don’t falter none
Walk it, son
Why prophesy how you die?
Why waste words like we get new time?
Won’t do the grind forever
That’s how crew stay behind, they clever
Selling my hours to live all devoured
We been held the power
I rest when it’s time to rest
I never depend on the flowers
Do more than just trying for best
We give our resistance the glory
And never give in ‘til my kin and my friends
Get to witness the end of the story
