I feel like Megatron when I put a record on
Fifty feet tall, can’t see who I’m stepping on
Professor X, from the MC echelon
Trying to take it farther than anybody has ever gone
With a mission to exploit the American dream
It’s not always what it seems
Dedicated to the pushers and the fiends
The has-beens, haters, and the players on lean
We think money is the answer to our lives
What seems like a cure is a cancer in disguise
We teach them how to take, forsaking how to give
Little green sheet of paper dictating how we live
That green sheet of paper
That green sheet of paper
That green sheet of paper dictating how we live (x2)
We kill and we steal
We do what we must
To ensure another little sheet of paper for us (x2)
I feel like Megatron when I put a record on
Fifty feet tall, can’t see what I’m stepping on
Professor X, from the MC echelon
Trying to take it farther than anybody has ever gone
You people look like leprechauns
Chasing down a pot of gold, but you aren’t catching on
I speak with the force of a megaton
Kid dynamite, yes I am the bomb
I’ll make a mockery of that weak philosophy
I’m so impossibly sick of this mediocrity
Mixtape makers putting quantity over quality
But none of them could spit at a fraction of this velocity
I’m at a higher viscosity
When I play the game and I’m aiming for a monopoly
We need to stand up and out of the monotony
And take a sword to the heart of this debauchery
Seeing the world through my mannequin’s eye
Getting so high in my Anakin sky
Walker of the moons
Healer of the wounds
Inflicted on my people, our time will arise (x2)

Sixty Hours A Week

Sixty hours a week, to make ends meet
Two jobs ain’t cutting it, I gotta work three
I’m breaking up my back for this one-room shack
And brother, I ain’t having that
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under (x2)
Sixty hours a week, to make ends meet
Two jobs ain’t cutting it, I gotta work three
I’m breaking up my back for this one-room shack
And brother, I ain’t having that
I have dreams of living on an island, smiling
Looking to the sky and colorful birds flying by
And I’m lying out on the beach sand
With a beautiful Caribbean woman at each hand
But every day I wake up to the same old
Slaving for the corporate suits pushing the Range Rov’s
And I don’t have a say, so they keep my pay low
Stacking gold bricks like Legos
So I get the scraps from the people that have the scraps
How wack is that?
I get a pat on the back
Like “Do you really expect me to act relaxed?”
Right after that
I go straight to another job, back-to-back
I switch uniforms like it was a magic act
I get so tired of working for these jerks
And wearing all the stupid corporation t-shirts
I swear to god, I’mma go and do the research
And figure a way out, I hate that we work…
I’mma do the research
And figure a way out, I hate that we work
Sixty hours a week, to make ends meet
Two jobs ain’t cutting it, I gotta work three
I’m breaking up my back for this one-room shack
And brother, I ain’t having that
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under (x2)
Broken dreams everywhere
People living every day like they just don’t care
Showing up to work in a hat and tie
Watching all their dreams just pass them by
Every day is the same, again and again
That’s why I’m so determined not to be like them
I’ve got to keep moving, I’m a rolling stone
I spit my soul through the wire like I’m on the phone
I gotta hold down The Fort, ‘cause I’m home alone
So if you step up to my door, you will know it’s on
That’s why I gotta smoke mics like a hippie with a spliff
‘Cause I ain’t trying to see another overtime shift
And I ain’t trying to see a roach lying in my cabinet
I’m trying to see the coastline from a NASA jet
I’m trying to spend a long time there relaxing with
A dime, brother, working overtime ain’t happening
Sixty hours a week, to make ends meet
Two jobs ain’t cutting it, I gotta work three
I’m breaking up my back for this one-room shack
And brother, I ain’t having that
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under (x2)
(Repeat full chorus)

Truth (Interlude)
01:28
|

The lyrical equivalent of Kung Fu
I’m your worst nightmare, and I come true
I’m the first run-through without an undo
I’m the darkness you see before you come to
The physical manifestation of your worst fear
The place nobody goes because it hurts here
The unscathed, unequivocal direction
The stark medium that leads to a connection
From my conception, I am a next-gen
Anomaly of my economy, I’m an exception
The unassailable ideal of a noble man
The lost cause renewed to give you hope again
The meaning of the words of the sages
The influence of the letters on the pages
The long blade to pierce through the inequity
The evidence to solve every mystery…

Rap with all the extremities
The number one public enemy
Burning through the sky like a big flash of energy
Your favorite rapper in the world - mister XB
I feel like a hippie from the seventies
Trying to blow the lid off your dome like Kennedy’s
Mister Manson in a star mansion
With a mentality sick with no remedy
But eventually I’ll turn into an entity
And metamorphose into anything in my memory
Like can it be okay for an emcee
To speak with no pressure or worry in all verity?
Now everything is dealt monetarily
The big money makers don’t see the severity
Of pursuit for the capital primarily
This type of habit can last for posterity
Enough of the vanity
We need to break free from the fibs of this fairytale fantasy
But don’t worry, it’ll be okay
Just embrace being lost ‘til you find your way
Now everybody wanna know who the kid is
‘Cause he ain’t rocking a fitted
But he got hip hop locked in a minute
No matter what you say, I’mma rock to the finish
And take ‘em so high, they pop through the limit
The Coolest MC
Rap with all the subliminals
The next line I’m gonna say is not original
Look at all the garbage that goes on in Gotham when I’m gone
Time to get rid of these rap criminals
I make ‘em all look so delirious
Looking at these rappers like “Are you serious?”
Please don’t do it to the game
The truest to the name, turning fluid into flames
Mountains into pebbles, water into wine
Got ‘em doing time for slaughtering your mind
Didn’t even know they were caught up in a crime
The sheriff’s in town, hypnotic with the rhyme ‘cause I’m...
I am the coolest MC
X to the B, I’m the coolest MC
The true master of the ceremony
Yep, that’s me, the coolest MC
I swear to god, I’m the coolest MC
Yep, that’s me, the coolest MC
The true master of the ceremony
X to the B
THIRD VERSE
Peter Pan – I’ll take you to Neverland
I can smoke an emcee from my secondhand
I fly way higher than they ever can
Killing villains in the game, I’M MEGAMAN
Super NES, Sega Genesis
Flying in the sky with the wings of a Pegasus
Higher than a comet with the sickest harmonics
Beams of energy I breathe out like Bahamut
I know it’s absurd but it had to be heard
Deep down in my heart to this day I’m still a nerd
Word? It probably never occurred
That I could be so well cured with my nouns and my verbs
But people wouldn’t notice the closest hocus pocus
But I wrote this with the focus on each and every word
So all y'all can just sit and observe
I’m still the same old boy with his kicks to the curb
That’s my word
I am the coolest MC
X to the B, I’m the coolest MC
The true master of the ceremony
Yep, that’s me, I’m the coolest MC
My momma told me I’m the coolest MC
So I am the coolest MC
The true master of the ceremony
X to the B, I’m the coolest MC
BAM
I’M MEGAMAN

Gnosis
02:24
|
|||
Yea, I’m a lion in lamb’s clothing
I manifest angels and demons whenever my soul sings
My whole springs forth from water to grow things
I’m gliding up high in the sky, I sprouted my own wings
My name is Gnosis
I’m sitting the closest
I’m vis-à-vis with the sunrise, behold this
I am the Earth’s son
I was the first one
I’m riding up on my magic carpet whenever the worst comes
They shall require my name
Walk through the fire and flames
I spit that dragon rap
New rapper’s ain’t having that
I’ve seen that magic act
But I’m not buying it
I’m stepping up on the stage so that I might retire it
You can admire this
I am a flying disk
Rather, a UFO
I wander to and fro
I’ll drop the nuance if you want so maybe you will know
I’ll introduce you to a path of truth hoping that you will go
Whoa, I’m moving too fast, I ought to slow it down
I really am the super coolest cat you know in town
I don’t mean to brag like every rapper that’s preceded me
But I must admit that when I do this, it comes so easily
I’m making these new emcees look like they’re some amateurs
I’m making them look like they’re in a beauty salon getting manicures
Go call your manager
Go on and banish her
You need a new job
Look at the things that you’ve robbed!
So why do you think they call the mainstream commercial?
It has no artistry
It’s a commercial
An advertisement
They try to hide it
You need to actually open your eyes in order to find it
The truth is around the bend
Find it and tell a friend
Take your mind on a ride
It’s there on the inside
You oughta try thinking a little bit deeper than the surface
Otherwise, you’re just another clown in this circus

Wonderland
02:51
|
|||
I’m running out of space
In every place
Look into the mirror, couldn’t even see my face
Where did I go?
And who did I become?
I only just arrived at the place that I’d begun
I’m refining my ways, but my mind is a maze
I’m in a daze
All my thoughts seem to vanish in the haze
I open my eyes wide, but the fog gets thicker
Analyzing the details, missing the big picture
Exposing my faults, not knowing my own strengths
Still striving for perfection, going to great lengths
But where did I end up?
And who did I become?
Arriving at the end, right back at square one
I’m running out of space, matter of fact
I’m running out of patience with the job that I’m at
See, I was never meant to work out in the world
‘Cause I don’t fit in with the normal boys and girls
I be getting mad when I’m mopping up a floor
Society is made to keep the poor folks poor
So if I take a chance and follow all my dreams
I’m destined for a life of keeping toilet bowls clean
I try to do my best, but how could I prepare
To be the only circle in a world full of squares
But how did I get here?
And who have I become?
I really just arrived at the place I came from
Little baby girl
Gotta get your head together in this complicated world
My little baby girl
Gotta get your head together in this complicated world
It’s a wonderland
Little girl liked, liked, liked to shine
Had the blueprint plans of her grand design
But, she didn’t have the materials
Like a peasant with the dreams of imperials
She followed the white rabbit, but to her dismay
She got caught up in the rush
She lost her way
Deep inside her heart she yearned for more
Without even knowing what she was searching for
Baby hit rock bottom and for her to see
That these things were so far from what she first perceived
Was too much
She broke right down to tears
Everything that she was seemed so unclear
Then out from the depths came a path to trod
Down a straight, narrow street - it wasn’t half as odd
It led her down to a room in her mind, she found
It was a dream, woke up, and she turned around
And went home

Enjoy the ride
I am the captain
Here to clean up the face of the game like napkins
I’m fly in the sky, just looking to catch wind
I’m the mouse with the cheese, they’re sending the cats in
The new-crowned king of linguistics
Amidst this barren wasteland of existence
Statistics show - nobody’s smoking like Joe
And I don’t need nobody else to ignite it, so here we go
I got a pocket full of dreams on my left side
I got a pocket full of green on my best side
I’ve got a little more heart
And a little more smarts
And a little more spark than the next guy
I wanna hop the next flight to Jamaica
I want a dime that’s fine with no makeup
I wanna make you smile in the midst of a trial
I wanna look into your eyes when you wake up
I told her that I wasn’t the one who would break that
And I also wasn’t the one to give her the Maybach
‘Cause I was too busy struggling, trying to make tracks
And if she wanted to be with me, she would’ve faced that
Some struggles ain’t worth the stress
Some trouble ain’t worth the mess
Some lovers ain’t worth the sex
Sometimes, the simple shit works the best
“You oughta fly me to the moon
And let me play in the stars
Another person couldn’t take it as far”
But I told her that I wasn’t the one who would take that for granted
I also wasn’t the one who would make that enchanted
‘Cause I was struggling, trying to make tracks
If she wanted to be with me, she would’ve faced that
Imagine - you and me in the sky
Saying goodbye to the everyday things of our lives
I want to be free
Free like a bird in the sky
So high I’m free
Baby stay by my side and you’ll fly like me
Free like a bird in the sky
So high I’m free
Every single day of my life
Just free like a bird in the sky (x2)

Float (Interlude)
01:19

Toe tapping to flow rapping it so happens
The old track is a no-no for a dodo
That means the whole flow of a so-so in slow-mo
Makes me wanna throw bows at you bozos
But oh no, I gotta go slow for you hobos
This old pro’s got you looking sweeter than a Rolo
I’m like the Han Solo of you robos
I’m on the low-low, throwing punches at the dojo
The Bruce Lee of the loose leaf will boot these
Loosely identified rappers in the booty
The penicillin got switched with the roofies
Now the movie’s singing the blues like Belushi
I hold true to the old school that I owe to
I know you are looking puzzled as sudoku
I flow too sick as 102 with no flu
I’ll float through and blast a motherfucker
‘Cause I’m Goku

Sit-in when I’m spitting and listen when I flow
I’m from outer space in a place that you can’t go
I burn so high, making trails through the sky
Other people can’t try or even understand why
I do the things that I do
Uppercut you like Ken and Ryu
My rhymes are so ill
I am a blue whale - you are a krill
Let it go down, I don’t have a care
Because I’m way way smarter than the average bear
I laugh at a lot of these hip hop tragedies
Candy emcees, giving you all cavities
I must be the orthodontist
My rap anesthetic will knock you unconscious
I am begging you to see
That it is so so hard to be as cool as me
But many people don’t really notice much
It’s like they live their whole lives in a cobra clutch
So this is an attempt to break the mold
And figuratively and literally break the hold
I am officially putting rappers out of their misery
When I serve them up with my postman delivery
Step up in my grill and get smoked like hickory
No competition, it’s only just victory
Yea, you know I’m cool
You can’t call yourself king ‘cause you know I rule
The lead player in the game
Spitting that flame
Half dragon, half lion, with a fire for a mane
"I don’t have anything of value to say
So I’ll sit here bragging about myself all day
I’ll do my very best to make it cliché
‘Cause at the end of the day, it’s all about pay"
Now that is an example of typical emcees
Who believe their own hype so impertinently
It’s something you would never really hear from me
Unless I ended up doing it deliberately
But you’ll never catch me wearing L. Vuitton
I’m at the club with my stormtrooper helmet on
So test me from afar, but I am the Death Star
And I’ll blow your ass up like it’s Alderaan
I am the Galvatron when my album’s on
Good luck getting to the level that Sal is on
I got both the world title and the IC belt
Sometimes I’m so cool, I surprise myself
I don’t mean to boast, but damn, if I don’t brag
They’ll naturally assume I’m waving a white flag
And no, that’s not the way that it goes down
So I continue to murder these verbs and pronouns
Beating the sweets out of them, put them in juice blenders
Pick my own flavor and drop it like food vendors
Five star gourmet whenever you enter
Rappers be anxious to bite it like new dentures
So be my guest, brother, dig right in
It’ll give you a shock like it is lightning
The strike’s so immaculate
Zapping you damn halfwits
Rapping with such baffling flows, and backpacking it
Accurate to the math of it
Back when they wasn’t having this
Wackest shit that I heard from these rappers with no passion
It’s a goddamn shame
You know the name
I’M COMING FOR THE HIGH SCORE IN THE GAME
Word
You know I’m cool
You can’t call yourself king, ‘cause you know I rule
The lead player in the game
Spitting that flame
Half dragon, half lion, with a fire for a mane
Dang
You know I’m cool
You can’t call yourself king, ‘cause you know I rule
The lead player in the game
Spitting that flame
Half dragon, half lion, with a fire for a mane
Word
