“Safer”

Defcee
Billionaires in the backseat wavin bail in his face.
The sales that he chase shapeshiftin into cells that await
in a future the record label’s all too selfish to break.
He’s bout the bells and the bass. They wanted scales and the weight
while the writing on the wall melts into Braille for his case.
Outside the prison, and he’s givin all his well wishers thanks,
needin a reach you couldn’t measure with the tale of his tape.
From the face of the front to the backs of our minds.
Smelllin the pack in his rhymes. Those the raps we rewind.
The role was waiting to be filled, so his casting sublime.
Raising 40s to his freedom as systems trap him in time.
Pairing his record with a blunt wrap and a dime,
forgetting his Jenga block of a sentence is still stacked on a lie.
Memories of ditchin the kitchen and chillin in sunrays,
left his past with a round-trip ticket, thinkin it’s one-way.

CRASHprez
Slip into this addiction, flip it for feng shui
Vivid depictions of kitchens distant and untamed
Hipster intentions elicit vision from one frame
Spittin’ in the distance, grimace ’til mission becomes fame
Young pain avatar
Take my nightmares away and marinate the madness tall
For my life, I’m scared today
Repair my faith by sabotage
Don’t you stack the wall
Ain’t no slackin’ once my data fall
Ain’t no past to draw
Splatter passion til you can’t recall
This an act we can’t withdraw
The catalog is massive
Once you stagnant, ain’t no chances, dog
Can you spell tomorrow out?
Can you melt your flesh until the sweat dislodge the hollows out?
I’ve never followed God without the martyr role to talk about
Breathe some, bleed some
Each one, teach none
Respun, restrung high up on the rafters
We never can erase you
We never have to thank you
And next to the stage is…
