- Verse
Some only repeat what they hear like a parakeet
I'm moving through this here life, with my pair of feet
Some people pray up, still others save up
My Xbox on the shelf, I got my game up
I'm not next, I'm the current, electrical
Superbly written spectacles, sounding non-terrestrial
Prided intellectual, spit that knowledge next to you
On my King Kong, while you shimmy from my testicles
Streets bathing in apes, and bathing in blood
You can read in my face that I'm better than cuz
But let's be less cryptic, I'm holiday gifted
Perceive atomical flaws, I am that specific
So what's your name boy, ain't playing games boy
Been futuristically high, Judy and Elroy
Exceptional touching this serum I'm dumping
Started gentle at first, but progressively roughened
When I get to the rapping, shut up, and let it happen
Offer me your gratitude, cheers, and get to clapping
If you stacking solely on attraction
Know the father to your style already dipped you little bastard
I'm shitting icebergs platinum ass rapper
I ain't going into this it's coming after
Cuz I'm a non-confrontational passive aggressive
Misunderstood motherfucker, yet they constantly testing
Must I go for a weapon, make you stumble while stepping
End your tour of the Earth, catapult you to Heaven
Tell Jehovah I'm mad, ain't no dude in my zone
In the middle of crowds, I just feel so alone
Got my car registration, before I hit the road
But my tongue is so vile, bitches cum on the phone
Bitches cum on the phone, bitches cum on the phone
Cuz my tongue is so nasty bitches cum on the phone
I'm residential while you visit this establishment
Secret service special flow, ain't nobody next to him
Pursuing your your estrogen, rising from my desk again
Used to call me Cin, but I purified my elements
Looking with my scales as wind, overtake your groundedness
Act like you ain't down with this, wrecking til I lose my breath
Curse this whole establishment, we rapped on the corners bitch
Now the one percent, wanna guide me how to do my shit
Fall back, I've got good intent
And when I'm done, add these bars to the US Mint
Tried to knock me off but they ain't make a dent
How you say you run this shit but you ain't pay the rent
Fall back, I've got good intent
And when I'm done, add these bars to the US Mint
Tried to knock me off but they ain't make a dent
How you say you run this shit but you ain't pay the rent

They ain't never seen a guy like me
Get up on the mic and I go hyphy
Always on my full, never glow slightly
For ever, ever, ever, ever ,ever, ever, ever, ever

Conrad setup 16 tracks cuz this train deliver
All around the country, give my Amtrak daps perhaps
I illuminate truth but don't you blame the solus
I been homicide, detectives just now notice
As ever I do, every bar is better than you
Better in skill, better in taste, finest of wines, finest of foods and
Surely paid my dues in the school, University of Hip Hop
Back from the break, and the summer cruel
Escorting rap dudes, minus the client fee
Jaywalking across 110th street
Rest in peace to the soul man
I only got this hot cuz I've got no fans, but fuck it
Two tears in a bucket, we provide our budget
Generation X-Pac, tell the masses suck it
They asking how he does it, combination rice plate
Low mein, Mumbo sauce and plantains

- Verse
Throw your tantrum, then go and walk it out
Wanna give the metropolis, something to talk about
Flames appreciate empires, emperor Nero
In times like these civilians searching for a hero
Comment from that crazy girl, said I was a droid
I only play and resume until we all employed
There's no bubbles in space so I ain't got a choice
I just scream until an atmosphere perceives my voice
Recycle star dust, offer up this energy
Till I'm told my times up, shooters put your nines up
Poets throw your lines up, west side of the bay
I was born with these skills, they wax and wane away
Friar Taft of the mass, let us pray today
I'm not discouraged by crowds or Sound cloud plays
Suffering succotash, secrets found in Yucatan
If we playing tag, I'm hashtag #TheyCantTouchTheMan
- Hook
They ain't never seen a guy like me
Get up on the mic and I go hyphy
Always on my full, never glow slightly

Get up on the mic and I go hyphy
Always on my full, never glow slightly
For ever, ever, ever, ever ,ever, ever, ever, ever
- Verse
You not the owner of your team, so don't sass the ref
Get you thrown from the house just like Jazzy Jeff
They outta pocket like pagers and goth chains
Get it together like a broom and a dust pan
I realize I'm my only competition
Working on my cross and my jab when I'm slipping
While these niggas piffing, I'm breathing new invention
Giving you conviction and chills, when you listen
They looking hard until times get hard
As they cry themselves to sleep not wanting a new tomorrow
I'll never care but I'll be civil with my enemies
Between shit and syphilis is where you'll find my sympathy
If I go to war it unfolds, like a symphony
Those that have befriended me, know drama ain't no kin to me
I'm such a dweeb let me know you got a problem
Full of life like a used condom, nigga get real
- Hook
They ain't never seen a guy like me
Get up on the mic and I go hyphy

Now all them styles is bitten there is no more competition
- Mike Roland
Get it gone, bare arm, marathon strong
Artist drawn microphones slaying on songs
Clones tag along for the major label loans
Million dollar home, precious big stones
It’s the Game of Thrones, chasing Golden Globes
Call us HBO, Haters Be Opinionated
Rated by billionaires, with ivory hair slinging 360 shares
Your footwear don’t compare to Jordan, legacy is Oden
Gregory, guaranteed injury, foresee empty-minded emcees
BET nominee, industry marquee, leak your album for free
Downloading, copycats boring
Fake skateboarding, all your cake blowing
Coke omens, blogged emotions, molly potion
Never killed a show yet, competition casket
- Hook
Now all them styles is bitten there is no more competition
Kick in the door, lean on em moe, there is no more competition
So we run it (run it) run it (run it) running outta room
And its nothing (nothing) nothing (nothing) nothing more to lose
So they sip slow (sip slow) let that cash flow (cash flow)
There is no more competition
- CitizenXVII
I leave the competition respiratory style
Climb the ladder of success, escalator style
Focus like the POTUS while making more rounds
Banging on the trashcan, backyard sound
DC on my mind without murder
Music diverted, exalted verses with purpose
I bleed to the service of the weak and the have-nots
The blind mind bottled up in that palm box
Disturbing symphonies of fright on the campaign
Lost emcee, understand the damn name
What I know about a plan is a plan change sound strange
Ground game, running like a shot rang
Only here to set it off let me push the button
Hunger for punishment, dish it out to gluttons
Snap-back and CB I'm ma keep it trucking
If you mean mugging, keep on mean mugging
- Hook
Now all them styles is bitten there is no more competition
Kick in the door, lean on em moe, there is no more competition

So they sip slow (sip slow) let that cash flow (cash flow)

- Mike Roland / CitizenXVII
Opposition frozen, One Mike Roland
Cinsere, CitizenXVII, symphony
Epitome of Mozart, Requiem of hip hop
Hearts of a lion, superplexing giants
Oh so defiant, your government loves compliance
I don’t grow my facial hair I call it going Lion
Why you trying when we certain for success
Pushing the iron up to solidify the rep
We swept the competition like Cobra Kai
Kicking Daniel’s ankle with an asphyxiating chain pull
Sweep the soundscape with the grapes of wrath
Burn a library down like I erase the past
Contrast to the current trash, on blast
On the telecast, outlast, Middle East outcast
Finish line surpassed, feel the crack see the flash
Citizen and Uno the magnificence is back...

Isabel and Ferdinand, this a royal pair
You fucking with the prince, why you disturb the heir?
Like hip hops pioneers I be true to this
Provide an earthen diet, not insalubrious
Whistle a sweet lullaby, makes the demons run
Swinging thurible, scriptures that describe the sun
Ricky brought a knife, Peter got a gun
Citizen has launch codes to kill everyone
That crown resting on your brow does not a royal make
Too much food in your fridge, I'll snatch a second plate
Cuz I am famished, contentious, and damaged
They told me pray to the star of David
But I'd rather drop these 16's like a bad habit
My notebook a Full House, call it Bob Saget
Living my life like its gold all polished up
My wicked rhymes spread around like the communion cup

Knew before anyone else could see my potential
Born with what it takes to make it, you see my credentials?
I been through that spin cycle, I never had it gentle
Airing out my dirty laundry on top of these instrumentals
Instrumental in this change, the catalyst
Cats that's been persuaded by this rap game are cowardice
Corn fed by labels putting out cattle shit
Telling fables for a stable check, not counterfeit
Cash cows being herded but the mission they deserted
Took the essence of this music, made it corrupt and perverted
Now we all dealing with the repercussions
But a savior came riding on the beat's percussion
I'ma savor this thing like Thomas English muffins
Every nook and cranny with the butter I am jamming
Now, tell your momma, tell your granny
Leave these wack rappers broken hearted, call em Brandy
- Hook

You think we kidding like we under 18
This is artistry, grown folks, no tracing
Leave shell casings when I pull it
Got a trigger for a tongue, I'm spitting out bullets
Riding in the chariot of fly accolades
Mother Goose taught me to rhyme in school days
These days, silly rappers just wanna-be's
We took the game nigga, we got custody
Full custody, I spank a juvenile publicly
We started from the underground something like a pumpkin seed
Now we give rappers the blues, same color as dungarees
They career is over Proph, hang em high from a tree
Dummy me, I forgot we stinging like some bumble bees
Still stay jagged yet flow so consciously
Cautiously step to the throne, we own this thang
Lost Boys gang, we like Bang-A-Rang!

Never gonna quit it so
Yeah I heard that, put in mad work
So you know I straight deserve that
I'm gon get it, what you doing wit it

- CitizenXVII
Classic, I'm better than I've ever been
Words elevate the field, braille lettering
Pale in comparison, to my nebula
I'm the birth of a star, light years ahead of the
Competition, not necessarily spitting
But necessary I'm killing all the inmates on death row
You sit still like a paralytic vegetable
My thoughts atomic, so extra-terrestrial
Who wants this, I've got dumb clips
For blunt thumb tacks aka dumb pricks
Not a thug, but if respect ain't properly placed
I'm Michael Douglas, hey you forgot the briefcase
Shhh, keep it quiet on my set
When I get it cracking no one knows what to expect
Bass and heavy snares, let it dribble down your cleft
I only get it right, I know nothing bout a left

Definition of a true winner
Flow 20 rolling spinning Nelson's in the center
Beast mode behind bars, fuck a zoo
Hella ratchet with my coons, Emmett view afternoon
Lamping living with a queen or two
Fornicating with my crew, breaking break
We bang and screw, what it do
Zoned up with the niggas, D.I.
What's the quickest way we getting to these figures
It is B-more shows, that extra hour flow
Tip the tailor , hope it don't hit my dashboard bro
Paranoia in Sequoia's remember we No Limit soldiers
Make 'em say ugh, after we rolling the windows down
Illustrious Setting's got me praising to the clouds
And mics is going down, you know I'm i the crowd
Atmosphere, we outta here
Keep the sounds up here
But that's a different type of loud that we got in here
- CitizenXVII
Skip the assumption, I'll prove that I'm something
Not from Baltimore, so you'll never find me bluffing
You got yours, now I'll get mine
Blend bars and brains, with a twist of lemon lime
Unknown, but my judo leave you thrown, you know
I'll ask a Rabbi, even the Jew know
I rock from the dome, Holy city how I'm shown
Politic from my home, double tones on the phone
I ain't nice with raps, I'm the guy ya Auntie talk about
Every dope line you shout, cite and write my reference out
Wicked rhyme division style, Citizen and Jnosis
Spitting for a living, riding round and getting it
I'm not a battle rapper, cuz I don't battle
I'm more poisonous snake, roll, shake, rattle
They like B, easy on the track
But I love to succeed and see foes fall flat

Getting dough, I'm passed that
Fire start, I am that
Where the tracks, where the raps?
Hit me up, I hit you back
You bull shizz, you fade to black
I'm so addictive, dope raps
Flow real, so chill
Palestine, Israel
She think she bad, she a tip drill
Her body phat, it's unreal
Don't talk me, shut it down
Circus act, man you're a clown
Stare at me, I see you
Attack me, I'll bleed you

Germs up or medicine

Where is energy for admiration leaking from
Seeking out my type of woman, focused when I see this one
Chosen by her husband, love in an other state
Warm blooded animal, frozen if I seen her face
The compliments real cuz I'm rather indirect
Verbal expressions, I am not the best
All I wish is to impress her with my prowess
She listen to my music, tell me I got talent
Throw a couple mill and a deal, nah I'm wildin'
Sorta feeling nervous, like we wrote a ballad
Alone on an island, tree carving to tally
A good woman's wise, like she reside in Mali
Perfect presence, voice that commands
Lead the youth from they couch, have them make a stand
Unbelievable you exist
Glory to the Heaven's for the gift

Make no mistake, this songs about you
Purely appreciative, I ain't tryna upset your dude
In fact I toss my props, for authentic love
The young stuck in the now, remind them how it was
Remember seeing you on the Cosby show
Then you debate with them debaters and I'm straight like whoa
My intellect like oh, it be helping me know
Your passion is Fern Gully and you helping it grow
Y'all can chase them ragged, cuz you feel invalid
I am love's painter, I increase my pallet
Some try and cover ugly up with a bit of blush
Before they even know they worth, already gave it up
Showing your fairness and balance, just like a Libra
A beautiful lady with her angelic features
I hope this melody reaches, and it serves you well
Peace and blessings to she, Jurnee Smollett-Bell

No amount of space could ever replace the love I got for you
Blindfold me with that cigarette, I'll take those shots for you
That's the honest truth, like creation and it's gospel
So far from you I feel, I'm just tryna to keep it real
Leaning on these dreams until, you walk down my corridor
Meet you at our intersect, connected like a figure four
You can call me like Tweet, not meaning Twitter let's speak
You know I care what's going on, please don't be outta reach
It was the best of times, it was the worst of time
When we misaligned, the feelings flat line
And that's a dead sign, that I need you near to me
But you acting like a hyper child, you not hearing me
Wanna build you up like my cash, but your worth exceeds
When you go away, I can feel my spirit grieve
I believed Madonna when she said you're all that I need
So baby baby please please baby baby please

Laying in the cool, haunted by these deaf ears
As I deal this cloud fuel, ascending I'm Rising
Defending my prize is like offensive line is
Flowing my lifeline, the pipeline
Of my gold minds Membai, in this centri
I try to be open hoping the words that I'm quoting
Live forever and stay relevant
Truth is living and my mind is the evidence
Like a number on your chest at a combine
Stats are combined, abilities are mine
To fly solo. looking for a window
Opportunities bridge, she's far but she's near
I ask, will you go hard or go loaf
Be rich or think rich
Have dreams with no pitch
Interesting how, when we measure without
When we living through vows
We going without knowing
The motion, hoping that devotion is potent
With no delay, still so far away

So far away
Say you love me again

This for the friends that I made, then I left behind
Or I got left behind, depending who penned the rhyme
I met some good dudes, I met some cool chicks
But as the seasons change, you also life shift
It's like a light switch how some people do connect
I'm in suspense about the future, wondering what's next
I've got some great souls around me like I'm with the saints
I'm still working on myself so please don't touch the paint
Sacrifice your ego and you'll find peace
Eternity and happiness are something out of times reach
So when we've gone awhile without checking in
I'm just assuming that nothing is interesting
The signal faint, but we got a bar
We ride around shining like some movie stars
We built a team so I'm gonna do my part
But sometimes you have to stand alone, to be set apart

So far away
Say you love me again

So far away
Say you love me again

Pressure, pressure of the world
Pressure, I swear it's bringing me down
- Verse
I know first hand how it feels to wanna die
Thinking of a reason to continue though you wanna try
Thinking bout who would be attending at your wake
Would they forget you in days beyond your suicide date
Everybody got a vice, you know I'm right
Smoking fugs, puffing J's, or snorting white
Intravenous plights, popping pill delights
My heart feels so incomplete I seek to meet my wife
So you can call me weak, whatever you wanna speak
But I can see through most of y'all like transparencies
And even though I hate that bitch, she still keeps
A special place in my heart, and I hate that shit
Don't let your moments in doubt, have your placement slip
Make you feel it in your chest like when the bass kick in
I've experienced it all and I ain't even mad
Every setback is a lesson it ain't all that bad
- Hook
Pressure, pressure of the world
Pressure, it's bringing me down

Shattered glass reminds you of your broken past
Them high hopes when you graduated from your class
Feeling like Atlas, world's weight on my back
Ridiculed when I relay the actual fact
This like that diamond pressure, transformation era
If you can't understand I pray I phrase it better
You making $750 but your bills $1,100
Let that starter pistol breathe, make them niggas run it
I ain't really want too much so I never asked
Some dudes only wanna sip, piss, puff, and pass
Bringing babies in this world then those suckers dash
Shout out to my real dad's that be up to task
To my people with the aches, don't forget what's at stake
Pushing for that better rate, let it contemplate
Either you rocket or you, swinging in the closet
The pressures of life more than you bargained, and that's real

Pressure, pressure of the world
Pressure, it's bringing me down

Be careful what you wish for in your youth
You may soon regret once you're settled in your suit
Never be the same, we change like dimes
Allow your wounds time and you'll be just fine
Walking the streets of the capitol I gotta think
What can break a man, send him to the violent brink
Staring in the chasm, make 'em shudder back
Finding energy to live, love can bring you back
This is my story for the weary, the untold
You weeping in the dark alone, yet I see you though
Rise up and believe that it will all pass
Upper class pissed that the trash made a new path
I am the son of man who got through civil rights
Had to fight to get some whites just to treat us right
I put my struggle in raps, to expand endurance
While these people sliding by with their null assurance
- Hook

Pressure, it's bringing me down

If we left at our best, and missed out on our dreams, so we press in
If we gave up, tossing the deuces, it would be useless but
If we quit, emptied our clip, found a new grip and so
And ran away (run away)
- CitizenXVII
Unappreciated, my songs vagabond
I make vegetables, they eating tagalongs
So if I leave would you notice right away?
Not now but for certain when you cease to see a brighter day
When the robotrons of rap create that artificial
All around I'm at peace, they hurt like torn tissue
Broken bodies, wretched souls, lesser goals
Seeking wisdom from the old, as my elder essence grows
What would they say, its rhetorical cuz they talk a lot
Whine like the Beatles described, twist and shout
In '09 had my drive on the fence
Then 4 years later came correct like I'm getting hints
Take it to the Maxx like TJ they tease they gruesome end
These men cinnamon, barely reached they minimum
I ain't leaving but I thought about it, even did
Had my kid, now I'm back, better than I ever been

I done daydreamed a decade of my life away
Can't even say the old and new me are like night and day
Plenty similarities, a lot of time spent at play
A lot of dough spent like Stein bread, and not a dollar saved
I done staved off sitting in the cage all while
Pitching and like baseball there's no such thing as safe
When your backs against the wall and the crash
Leaves you crawling out of ditches since you fell victim to your pitfalls
No getting pissed off, nah this is your call
Wheres this bright future you envisioned fitting to kick off?
Sick of all this navel gazing, spent more time blazing
Menacing not remembering, light shines in us all
All too often I've been lost in the dark
All along I've looked to my homies for the wrong kinds of spark
It's unity, I illuminate you, you illuminate me
And in this union its cool to keep the lights on when we leave, at ease...
