(chorus) Independence is a noose of foreign pendants They pen dances so we’d stop being defensive And stay blind to these thorns we’re stepping on Couldn’t fathom the past,guess it’s out of fashion (verse 1) Strokes of heartache spark great visual plays And you will stay with spectacles on for the spectacle display This play of fire works simply by live firing- Your tiring days away as your eyes desire it To be one with the span of the fiery skies Spirals that fly through retinas, getting your blind attention And then sends you to a reckless chase To pan around it for the best panoramic viewing place to fully embrace it The space is occupied with clouds of shooting stars The pace intensified with rounds that spews out starting points- For a night worth documenting in any form Represent repackaged gift of this frantic storm Many arms stretch in a friendly warmth length Salute to all strengths that have been gone long since Salute to old men that died in war scents Salute to false statements by statesmen who preach us nonsense Salute to his stories of this gory past he calls hardship Partial accounts kicking back logs of lost bliss Long kiss goodbyes by good times gone for good Redefined like elements for peace forcefully would Of course the discourse of this course of distorted- Recollections of bridges crossed would be tossed in flames They put on a display,lip gloss hiding crooked tongues I’m here for the fireworks,gone when it’s done (chorus x2) Independence is a noose of foreign pendants They pen dances so we’d stop being defensive And stay blind to these thorns we’re stepping on Couldn’t fathom the past,guess it’s out of fashion (verse 2) Morning sun sobers up the knights Face the ground, they recall their failed attempts of flight Stuck in the nest of fancy magic sticks and stones- Utilized only when the trunk grows another branch older Hands holding tight, the string of noose broadly casted- In the shape of forgotten pasts slowly passing Generations disconnect,the parents are restless While foreign investments of youth culture goes uncontested Tried and tested lies are etched in templates- Of the speech that hits the heart at the speed of hate Elected Gods,doing jobs of being the symbol- Of a system that governs your window of hope Learn the ropes,make your way up to your own stand Reach out to exploding stars the moment you grow hands- To write your own destination on your tickets Coz the flying colors have failed to inspire the little kids (chorus) Independence is a noose of foreign pendants They pen dances so we’d stop being defensive And stay blind to these thorns we’re stepping on Couldn’t fathom the past,guess it’s out of fashion

Exkalifa 01:35
The Excalibur with the caliber of 22′s Re-calibrate the age-old shell to fit into his shoes Not many would choose this route But he rerouted the root numbers so his destiny could compute That he’s not fooling around,full circle,mental sound Focused on the text to push the next cruise aground Rocking back to back aches,pounds for pounding On the ukulele emcee whose rib cages he strummed He’s done mastered the methods of drumming out the off hits, Keeping tabs on the score with a hum Leaving mellow dramas below the sheet- Music is not escape,he’s a slave to his own beat Tapped his feet on the ground like elephants Ssup Sonic? It’s over the hedge! Hogging the bench Warm the globe all set for the melting point Better keep your distance coz he’s easily annoyed Of course they never listen so he smash through Skull candy wrappers torn to unveil the mental booth Collects the volumes for better reproduction Of the lower frequencies so his heartbeat could function Until then he forks out money to the small fries Franchised protection fees, keeping green till he dies Pun in ten did nine ate severed sick lives for tea? To wonder is childish, this is what we made knives for Rhymes for miles, diamond studded rubber Pierce your virgin ear lobes clean from the wack Get on the jump off just to fall down under Got more punches than if Cassius were to rap But never retires the verbal game just to stutter Charging full steam with a ton of steel on the track Emcees are supper, he aims to make them suffer From the dirty south bleaching like the German definition for black

Hello,Missed 02:04
Rain drops cats dogs steady pouring Like my heart a couple of seasons before- The final wave hit the shores, to settle the scores But you paddled back and I see the light once more Fashionably laid, clear my mind stains on your coat Ignite spites, exchanged rage, rock the boat Soaking wedding plans, hand me the towel To sit and talk before we go off again being sour It’s the same hour we parted last time Sitting benched waiting to depart, but what I had in mind- Were the stories I penned in the pen Of palling around with the verge of collapse back then Letters never sent, but hell bent on proving How much writing with bloody inks isnt amusing But I’m confused, coz you looked unusually attractive With the frown upside down before giving me your hands- We, crossed corridors, cutting corners Borderline bliss, I was partly enjoying this Conversed in hollow hellos, angels who lost halos Ignite the spark of old flames ‘fore the pain got involved The unresolved banged my chest Guess you saw my broken smile, but you couldn’t care any less I tested your new soul, learn the curves of your currents Sheltered you from the falling tears as we came running But somehow the rain pierced everything we threw at it Still I wanted this moment to last like a true addict Love is true magic but that’s a long lost chapter I’d like to tell you how I’ve lived since our hereafter Laughter was the language as we walked along Didn’t seem to wonder where we’re headed for Coz it’s the sunshine dreamt impossible, I couldn't get enough But the rain wouldnt stop till i was woken up

(Verse 1 - El Genio) Unfathomable evil when I approach the mic as ur eyes grow wide Lung sacs retract as I extract a rhyme from the mind As the rib cage contract faster as the blood is pumping Inexplicable rhymes coming an adolescent less than eighteen Hungry for prey as they pray for god to save them Then I came into their wake for a divine intervention Emcees dread for my presence as the hang themselves with the mic cord Manipulating these emcees fear as their mind begin to discord To tiny strings bind together like how I bind these cats together Gasoline on the skin, sparks ignite and engulf them in the fire Flames tear skin and flesh, screams accompany immense pain Then I plant those images in the heads of their children My rhymes shock them internally meeting them with reality In high definition when they try to defy the genius literally The scythe in my grasp beheading them with the Watchers Numerous heads scattered near the mic because of my demeanor (verse 2 - El Genio) Paramedics on parameters when I spit lyrical exaggerations Rhymes written on papyrus leaves leaving crews Demented While the flow on the sacred texts leaving Triniti questioned Rehearses in the morgue to put to practice on stages Lyrical prowess making emcees powerless Staring while I be raking their eyes from their sockets... SG MY connection, the legion of emcees be storming in your area images captured by the cornea cant be interpreted by the brain because we kill faster than waves travel through the veins chemicals blocking your atrium ruptured your sacrum wisdom passed from generations,with techniques from the ancients rhyming mages conjuring magic cursing you through the ages (Verse 3 - Dafrosty) Written in the timelines, witnessed through divine eyes Disfigured to justify lies and definitions While misfits beautify figures of speech, to make it seem Like the represented person never dies Even in dreams, and as it beams The image is planted in the language the masses breath En masse agrees sublime defeat And it’s even the basis for the resistance that it might receive Answers came sponsored, concerto of concern Sparks converse through art and convergence of culture Purpose is altered, freedom fighters enslaved By the very evil their shots have made possible Pause the whole world war by the framed accounts And question heroic titles soldiers denounce It sounds convincing convicting wrongdoings From the comfort of the side that controls the music Every truth is marketed, roots sold their seeds For pollination at the price of being a tool for greed Fight for independence through independence And you better be fully strapped up to defend it But once it ascends to a trend, better be consented To how the average translates the content Constant compromise of contrast Is needed to complete the puzzle if we’re ever gonna last But when elected elements electrify everything Every bit is scrutinized and it gets Criticized without any effort to define What is really wrong and so the younger ones paint blindly Sign deals to buy into stereotypes Of keeping it really monotonous like ridiculous hypes Fads fade away, but it strengthen the art So the essence of this beautiful culture will never depart It’s an ongoing renaissance never pause for death Coz staying sick is our definition of health Interpretations differ thus we spar endlessly Better suit up kid,coz we’ve got a common enemy

PLUHV 03:05
I’m a firebrand with a band of tired hands Drive the entire empire panicking in a single glance Rioting without a plan,rebel to any man Desire lands of unity without a clan dispute Walk the same earth we are put to rest to Same roots like moses muhammad and jesus U-N-I versus the curse of difference Breaking apart U-N-I Think whY this is What our children would now grow to witness “Pick a race to run with son and win this Particular time and space for a place above common sense Dictate the morals of the current populace And draw disgrace over the portraits Of those with a different body color and shape Make it as if hate to us is a particular trait they’re born with“ But observe this is a practice opposing sides both play The alternative is even worse Contest of capital decapitate your competition to be first Blood thirst quenched by the clench Of the sense of power over numbers making a fence Against those with loose ends in their pockets While you enjoy your plastic happiness from forged profits Mother earth’s treasure chest we chase after But we still fight only to keep the change constant It’s our nature to relate,long to belong Which grows to hate those not singing the same song You feel strong in numbers preying on others Looking up to self while you really fail to look outwards We’re a peculiar mix of uniquely equals Different sides of us relate to different groups of people And the beauty of God dividing us in fractions Is so we’d drop our differences for a friendly handshake

Twinkle 04:05
(verse 1) She meant the whole world but for her he was the whole world She was his only girl but at times She wished she was the only girl he would ever spend time with Been together infinitely it was definitely timeless Bottomless depths she swam into Whirlpools of love where she breathes in out and bleeds too Sees through his hard hat of trust,but underneath The thick skull she was the soul in the life that he leads He leaves her eager to see her arms around him Whenever the winter gets too cold in her surroundings Named her a star so she’d outshine the darkness Gave him another million coz she never stopped counting That’s how long these rocks pierced her skin Constellations of words that could just burst,but then The turmoils under sparkles gets settled from within Adjusts his gaze dials the telescope to talk to her again (verse 2) And they talked about the big bang underneath their chest The day they collided long before she hit the road for the best Long before the mess spawned from the other galaxies Ignored the fallacies about the damaging distance Heavyweight lovers through the light years The only dark matter is the matter of her fragile bones if he held her tighter Heightened anticipation as she patiently dreams About the nearing end so she can finally breathe Calculate degrees of love and you can pin point The coordinates of their nebula where each smile is born Heart is torn when he turns around to face another Feels overshadowed half the time but keeps it undercover And she’s set to rise in his horizon despite the time zones Every hour orbiting each other is another milestone And all i do is sit back,watch,and listen As my elder sister grows to grow her own solar system (verse 3) And the absence of his celestial body often leaves A black hole of which the gravity is love and she’s hopelessly Drawn to the icy strokes of his trail Collecting every star dust to reinforce herself And she journeyed through the orbits without the wormholes, Far away from home,roam like a homeless Holding on to dreams of wearing saturn rings As she zeros in hyper speed to his coordinates Constantly trace the stars with her fingers To leave hieroglyphics so his zodiac could reach her Communicate in golden texts to let her know he’s listening And even if she silenced herself she secretly misses him And i could relate to the frustration Coz putting love on the phone line requires patience But still they shine brighter than i could ever try And every night i see them slow dance up in the sky

Dark prince of light,stalk weaklings,spar Only with the stars in arenas when the beef is sparked Skill level is stark like tony with the iron fist Got his opponents netted up in his cyber list Scientist in brawls with the hooligans Timelessly warring with his inner self In the cells,past guilt is burning him But he used it to fuel up his soul psylliums Swimming back up the skies as a champion Elevated podium made from cemented craniums Pain is uhmm,nothing compared to glory Spectators suspect fakes but they still tell his story How he flipped karate kicks was hella sick And hit ‘em back with power hits force of a ton of bricks Lyrically stunning quick with attention grabs Lines of punches and jabs,they retaliate in scabs Left rings in laughter,no conference after Save the spit for next olympian chapters News team could only capture him in quotables Nothing in the tabloids could make him seem vulnerable Fully able to turn the tables from scratch Juggling stabs,beatings with heart breaks to match Techniques to catch the hats off Like Madoff when he pulled a fast one on his last fall Artists and their Repertoires would back off From challenges of outlasting him in a grand stand off Brave ones got their backs smoldered With bruises and cuts from the poison quills he uses Past time is filled with riddling sand bags With sharp metaphors and tracks that is dark at the core As a child he dug up hip hop to the source Knowledge is the force he radiates from as a rap gladiator

(verse 1 - Saphuan) What's up my name is Saphuan I cook tracks like Raekwon Just one hit, you gone like J-kwon Imma rap til infinity and beyond Pawn wacks til they dead and gone Run tracks like a 100 meter sprinter Forever the winner in ciphers and battles You can't handle the style of The urban rebel, 9-5 hustler Fightin everyday like I'm in Gaza I'm fly, above the clouds like Goku Teach you how to roll like this is high skool Check the rhyme architecture, got the right texture Can I kick it? Do I even have to ask ya? I got the mic, I won't pass it to ya Catch me if you can, I'll help to cheer ya Be prepared, and pack ya bags for a leave Shazet's in the house, neighbours can't sleep (verse 2 - Dafrosty) When my words manifest my figure of speech I'm a New Born Emcee,M-I-C wrecka on beats That's never defeated by the square ones Rockin the jam so hard we gave birth to ill sons I write like I take mushrooms but on a straight edge With the tricks to kill you point blanc on the page The rhyme weaver with the chronic dementia Partly a schizzow,so you can see that I Spit with a fuzzy logic,coupled with the jocular tone The naughtiest Maximus the gladiator on the throne Ultimate mastery of the craft,leave you stiff Turned to ashes when the kinetics of my rhythm clicks Conquer like alexander,the fate is sealed tight You were defeated as a fetus,aight Bomb the whole HQ,any rebel scum bag is fictional While the unmentioned will turn your ego trip dysfunctional

(verse 1 – Dafrosty) I capture fly emcees like Mister Miyagi Smash you with the knife before I mince you like garlic I’m all in fake tears when I slice you like onions Turn up the heat, as I throw you in the frying pan Hit you with the fork till you crack like eggshells Break you down like the yolk and see how much you can spill Fuckin herb, I toss you in the turbulence Spice it up with my flow, It’s the perfect formula Now I take all your chicks slaughtered in front of ya Dip em in the mix, yeah I like em soakin up Let em float in my steaming bubbly bath Call me the alchemist, turning gold from ass In the mean time I serve you with the menu Full of threat if you can’t afford to pay dues Now it’s about time,we had fun in the kitchen Bon appetit, I eat emcees like fried chicken (Verse 2 – Kwizyne) Jamie Oliver cross over the Iron chef In the kitchen that Raekwon built for Cuban linx Hot in depth like the frying set Stay phat dunked in oil coz he do it slick. Talent agents pick your poison I’ll show you real drunken style once marinated Say grace as a practicing tablemannerist, no illegal substances reserved uh To add in dish, preserve perishable food without cans and additives Its a classic hit, keep your elbows and silent cellphones Before you’re velcro-ed spoon feed your shit The recipe the dead envy won’t give rest to locals 7th month ghosts response’s reciprocal Delivery is on time don’t push the dial When u reach my hotline, look for Michael (Verse 3 – El Genio) Blend in with the gastronomic proportions When I cut these emcees into bite-size portions Slice you and post on the internet, creating a meme trend Now the question is, will it blend? Make these tough emcees look soft with meat tenderizers With their gay posse like mixing with 11 herbs and spices No question who raps the freshest ingredients When even the hungriest emcees scavenges My backyard for the freshest carcasses The diabolical genius with a butcher’s knife Going insane with godly features I turn water into Lupe Fiasco’s first album name Freeze them in subzero temperatures, below 0 degrees Im so sick you’re afraid to share drinks with me

(Verse 1) Nothing in life is truly free except life itself For any extra pleasure the only price is death A breath of illusion is only worth facing If you're ready to leave the magic of your birth wasted Endless downfall is where you're headed Eternally imprisoned by your own instruments of escape Get set for that rush of heaven flushing you down to hell Curse your life away when you drown in the spell Another one rides the rusty lane of happy dreams Everything will be fine now it finally seems Enjoy your moment up there till your dose weakens Don't even give a damn about the gravity speeches Get immersed in your ocean of diamond skies Stranded on your island far away from the lies Things will get better now if you ignore the signs Keep that thing flowing like reality is the real crime (Chorus) Salvation,salvation,salvation is free Salvation,salvation,salvation is free False senses of hope are sold in a capsule Make em dead broke when they wanna get cured Monopolize the soul-searching methods While evading tax records in your rule the world Effort,make it look sacred Strip the children naked from weapons of thought By the time they rebel they have already lost Take them to war as a pawn in your marketing plans Parents point fingers away from the devil's shadow hands Heavy is the head that wears that frown Where is your beloved seed heading to now? Never back down,coz your weapon is love Keep fighting to reclaim your daughters and sons The greatest gift in life is to actually be there In their hardest times,help them fight away fear Be the hands to grab them when they reach out Be the first thing in life they look for when they need help (Chorus) Salvation,salvation,salvation is free Salvation,salvation,salvation is free

Home 03:47
To all my fellas on the quest to get iller To little kids with so much to deal with The next train comes in five minutes And I'm scribbling thoughts to not get bored in this- exchange from walking to high speed trains Massive capacity to carry people away From the heart of the city to the skinny beaches From the depth of the country to the tourist features The business districts are busy with people This train station is the only place that we're all equal I see the many faces that wait for the train to come Many walks of life stationary all of the sudden They only start moving to board or leave the trains Ages of races is how long we have to wait The faces are vast in variety of and status Incomes and looks, fashion and appearance I love to watch the babies in their mothers' arm sheilds Also the snobbish girls who got nothing else to unveil Standing with the squashed, rush hour, waiting- to arrive at my exit, it really takes patience We gain savings of travel expenses, teaches us- to be humble coz no matter where you're from, you're stuck in between stations This is where journeys start and end Seven in the morning and just after ten We either catch some sleep or prepare for amends While lovers find it a great place to spend time together This is the kind of place for anyone to coincide Mind the person next to you, tryna enjoy the ride Annoying service announcements are the only music Unless you brought gadgets of escape, please use it There aint no place to sit? the floor is always clean Especially for long trips, why not rest your feet Watching the others leave gives room to breath And your heart is pleased when you're almost reaching your stop Doors open wide like arms greeting me home Tap out my card, still a long walk to go Got on the escelator, get out the underground Elevate to ground level, embracing the traffic sound For this portion of my journey, I walk alone Accompanied only by strangers walking the same floors Walk past the food courts, some are still open But it's time for cleanup duty so they wouldn't take your order My stomach is almost filled with hunger What is tonight's leftover? I'm starting to wonder But thank God, He gave me a nice landlady Who cooks a little extra instinctive of my singing belly I pass by reality teasing destiny Morals are divorced, fathers could never rest in peace I'm walking in between blocks that built a nation Tourism ads censor out what the habitat embraces Double storey houses are attacked by burglars While the people in the flats are left by the government The barking dogs disrupt my deep thinking The old lady left food for the stray cats again Five minutes to home, creeping with the bats Between these bungalows, fatigue is still attached It's been a log day and it's about to end soon I can almost smell the piss I'll be releasing inside the bathroom The smell of the shophouses I consume As I approach the elevator going up to level one-two- Twelve, the lift gives me the freaks Especially after watching Ju-on 2 the one with the kid I look down at this page as I get to my floor I hear screams of the neighbours as I walk to my door Took off my wet shoes, unlock the grill Dial your number trying to ignore my phone bill No matter where we and what we've been through I'm always coming back home to you Even if our faith was proven untrue I'm always coming back home to you They can try to win my heart but I saved your room I'm always coming back home to you Smiling on the outside crack the shell I am blue I'm always coming back home to you Walking 'round the blocks like when we used to I'm always coming back home to you I would always believe I would get to see you soon I'm always coming back home to you

Relativity 03:45
(intro) Relativity: Physics. the dependence of various physical phenomena on relative motion of the observer and the observed objects.. Physical phenomena.. The observer.. (verse 1) Two cycles 'round the sun,packed in a second hand box, strolling through the hardest goodbye i never planned to face. Amputate physical ties when they stamped my pass, final turn,capture glimpse,hoping we're meant to last. Walking monitored,heartbeat flat,as i crossed the platform, that i once landed on. These tracks of tears, it tears my flesh, and formed the veins that forms myself. History screams but i couldn't care less, memories fade with each blow from the train's breath. Once the pain evaporates i looked out the window, sonic boom of the cabin kicking dust as the wind blows. Passed by many colors.The nation's past life is shown- on my journey back home. Emotional stir shaken by the screeching brakes- and horns,but we went on,couldn't afford a delay. (bridge) The dependence of various physical phenomena on relative motion of the observer and the observed objects.. The observed object.. (verse 2) Married to a manacle,proposed her portions- of love in hardship,even though they lived poor,still they strolled through the bills,and grow their own stilts, and despite some fights,they still loved the kids, but when the storm comes he escapes with the spirits, while she resides with the roar from the train visits. Admires the steel muscling through her backyard, once every meal time,it's the only home they can afford. Fate had it's way,he cancelled an outing, still in her make up when he left the home shouting. Stone cold,broken promise,shattered holding glass, it's the kind of breakdown that will be her last. Woke the little ones,"we're going for a movie", waited on the tear tracks and headed for the moon,see- nobody could've predicted her suicidal actions, but all she had to do was wait for the next train to come passing. (news report) Seremban. A mother and her two young daughters were killed, when a fast-moving train ran over them, on a railway track, near here. The father, a contract worker, rushed to the scene, and, on seeing the bodies of his wife and daughters wept uncontrollably. He later sat there numbed. The victim's mother said, her daughter and son-in-law had been having heated arguments for months, and the situation worsened when he lost his job recently. “She thought of taking her own life on a few occasions, and the couple was quarrelling two days before the incident,” she sobbed. Eyewitnesses claimed they saw the mother holding onto the children on the track, as a train approached. One of the daughters, was seen struggling to be freed from the clutches of her mother, and breaking away before the train hit her family. The victims were dragged about 100m after the crash. The police had yet to establish the cause of the incident. (outro) Relativity: Physics. the dependence of various physical phenomena on relative motion of the observer and the observed objects..
