Snowfall 03:52
Huffing and puffing like glass blowers, a masked foe has, Double function the gas flow fiddled like Castro was, Fine port pouring like Pino, pork with apple sauce, His head covered like astronauts attacking mars, One foot in the door cut in half so grab the gauze, Like any port in a storm it's my last resort, Toss it out it come back like elastic thoughts, A man shedding light on his life so grab the torch Lost his mental back in Hyrule temple, Back when I was little, read off the top like the Irish people A virus lethal, come inside, saying "Hi" through the eye of a peephole, Getting flashbacks like sometimes in a sequel, Evil Thoughts heavy, drop through the clouds like anvils, Pause plenty, stop with the trash talk like land fill, Claws buried, wipe the blood clean with hand gel, Doors empty, my axe buried, please now stand still, Black Christmas Black Christmas Black Christmas Black Christmas Ice particles, floor slippy, grip critical Slip at the door, neighbour caught it all on recorded video, Pride limping, sympathy, pain is all but physical, Self absorbed, you idiot they giggle and mimic you, Bide your time over rivers of gravy, kiddies are playing Chest is red and chafing from the jumper that your draped in, Heat is building greatly, from the kitchen emanating, Thermostat is set at 80, you can't handle it your baking, Head for the black night cold to vent, but overstretch Hit the black ice patch slip and bash your backbone again, On the cold stone alone and bent Laying prone, feel your soul ascend - adios dear friend More gravy and ice packs, frozen peas, Profiteroles get rolled out, over eat, Family games in a sweatshirt, over heat Quick nap on the sofa, my day is over, peace Black Christmas Black Christmas Black Christmas Black Christmas Never bored, got lots of cardboard, Oh look, I found more, it covers the four walls, It covers the armoire, the whole of our indoors, Is corrugated from the bottom to the top floor, Between Christmas and new years, week of disarray - Dinner time gummy bears, lemme get a taste, - Beef roast leftovers third day straight Haven't been dressed yet hair covers my face - Disgraced, house in a state of darkness, Need a shower, start smelling like an armpit, Waiting for the pizza man, cheese feast starving, Mouth breathing, couch sunk deep like a tar pit, Huddle for warmth, get snug like a wedding ring, Work next week, get the jump like amphetamines, Pizza guy knocks, outside looks menacing If this is Christmas wouldn't trade it for anything

Take a dip in the deep end, ride on a Seaking, Train while your rival is sleeping, Turn the tide to defeat them, Timing the sequence, dive in and find out his secrets, Bikini bottoms, no sponge bobbing, just strong monsters, The biggest roster, that crush rocks, and get done proper Save swapping, get sprayed washing, contains options, State constant, afraid not they lay waste often, The trade off is, you have nothing to compete with, Cerulean banners, often hanging up in the streets kid, Sleep with the fishes, my greninja's got speed quick Can e-ject, and swap in with swampert for you to deal with Take it slow, with a Gyarados, it gets hammered home, You lacking hope, pack sand and stone, your granite folds, Crown Kingdra, the ground is cold, when the hydro flows, Or ice punch, you get sliced open with dragon claws Rain dance - cascade badge Mermaid pants - Evade catch Rain dance - ready for the team to sweep, Cascade badge - That is what you aim to keep, Mermaid pants - draped from the waist to the feet, Evade catch - Dodge fishermen and dive for the deep No muddy waters, your fave tortured with hydro pump Hit the brakes, there's no escape when we eye them up Take your breath and then fit them up with an iron lung To try and front, take these titans on, must be high and drunk Lighten up, with my movepool you get lighted up, No cake, just icing, we pipe em up with the icicles, Or you get scalded, that's straight burn when we fire it up, Your team not live enough, my level 5 could wipe them up, My pelippers, a bit quicker, to set drizzle My swift swimmer, that Barraskewda, to jet missiles, Then knock off with Crawdaunt, to get physical, And Dracovish, with fishous rend, to get results, So don't step in my gym, you'll find I'm Unforgiving, of those who take up my time, The water pit is full to the brim with malign kind So take a dip, so those deep within it can fine dine

Monstrous, I'm coming for the conquest, Anybody standing up will fall like conkers, Anybody standing must be crazy like bonkers, On this path of revenge, got a long list, I'm the Duke, with a pistol to shoot, And I'm all out of bubble-gum, I'll piss on your shoes Pockets empty, I'm never paying dues, In this sea of small fries, who can I look up to? Now you swimming with the sharks in the sea, I'll muzzle your hellhounds, quit barking at me, -This is the 54 Fukushima flow, All the true believers know, I'll put you in a sleeper hold Azrael, lower bandanna and eat your soul, Breaking all of your bones and toss you in a deep hole When I'm done I wont leave you alone I'll be wielding your bones like my name was cubone, [BRIDGE] One more word and I'll blow like nuclear reactors, I'm wired up backwards, [CHORUS] Aim for the nucleus, rocketeer, super kid, Doing bits, shooting for the stars acting ludicrous Find me where the music is, sitting on the clouds, No clout, but that isn't what this music's all about My skin is acidic, like a gelatinous cube Met this girl, she's a trekkie, I got nothing to prove She dressed as Crash Bandicoot, she was after the jewels Told her I was Harry Potter got a pic of her boobs, I'm a decepticon, leave you leaking iridescent goo, I'll devour your whole body, don't even need to chew, My back spines glow with a Celeste kind of hue, And I got the mental acuity of a young Mewtwo, Bravery is nothing, when you're facing the straw hats, I'm bringing the beef to your house like it's doordash, I'm putting the shine to your eyes like its floor wax, And putting an end to your flex like a sore back, I'm all that, hail to the king like the evil dead, Crawl back, turn into the the thing as you freeze to death, Mall rats, think your Kevin Smith when you leave the set, You need respect, spamming your opinions through the ethernet [BRIDGE] One more word and I'll blow like nuclear reactors, I'm wired up backwards, [CHORUS] Aim for the nucleus, rocketeer, super kid, Doing bits, shooting for the stars acting ludicrous Find me where the music is, sitting on the clouds, No clout, but that isn't what this music's all about Spice melange start to take its effect I'm climbing up the Eiffel tower for the wildest of sex, I'll wrap my tendrils round your neck and lay my eggs in your chest, You can say my name thrice but never say it in jest Or I'll appear from out your mirror like "What'd you expect" I'm here to exact my revenge, not to ask for respect, Like "not after the cheques?" I see your looking perplexed, But there's more to the game than who wins at the end, Most of you are foul mouths, spit without context, I'm not spitting I'm salivating, and the thought of your soft necks, I'm dribbling in waiting, I'll admit that I'm obsessed, I've been lying in wait for a taste of your soft flesh, You got it wrong when you said we should fight fair, I'm Freddie with the claw, stepping into your nightmare I'm Kakashi's embodiment, except for the white hair, I've embedded a code and this song is full of spyware, [BRIDGE] One more word and I'll blow like nuclear reactors, I'm wired up backwards, [CHORUS] Aim for the nucleus, rocketeer, super kid, Doing bits, shooting for the stars acting ludicrous Find me where the music is, sitting on the clouds, No clout, but that isn't what this music's all about

Doesn't matter if your dum dum or a scholar boy Always on the hunt for them fads that would offer joy Standing in a line, fist tight with the dollar coiled Searching for that rectangle pack with the holofoil Pocket money cashed, you can feel it in your heart rate Grind don't stop, you be finding out the hard way Going all in, Pokémon don't have a half way, Feeling like Scarface, lunch with the card trades Battling with that ADHD in a hype voice Blue eyes deck on hand that was my choice Crew was them yu-gi-oh heads taking life points Poor kids bully, asking why we still like toys These are not toys, they're collectors items, And we are not boys you can call us titans, Magic when we gather, like we're all enlightened Tapping that island mana then resort to fighting [CHORUS] I need them, I need them Packs Packs, I need them, I need them Packs Packs I need them, I need them Packs Packs So if you see them on the shelf let me know where its at I need them, I need them Packs Packs, I need them, I need them Packs Packs I need them, I need them Packs Packs Jump in the time machine, lets take em back, back Retail therapy, money cures everything, Money caused all my awkwardness anyway, Dunk on my enemies, built like a heavyweight, Any day now, bell tolls like Hemingway Competitive, wont settle for anything but making bank, The packaging professor, progressing up through the ranks I tank all of your hits, your brittle you wont last, You missed on your one task, a missile with one blast, GG's handshakes, catch you on the flipside, Hole not filled, still empty on the inside, Still don't feel right, winning don't feel nice, But the Pokémon pack with the holofoil film might Memories, re-lived more valuable than gold, Nostalgia might be the cure truth be told, More trinkets to sooth all the aches in my bones I'm not depressed, I'm just sad at the fact I'm getting old [CHORUS] I need them, I need them Packs Packs, I need them, I need them Packs Packs I need them, I need them Packs Packs So if you see them on the shelf let me know where its at I need them, I need them Packs Packs, I need them, I need them Packs Packs I need them, I need them Packs Packs Jump in the time machine, lets take em back, back

Alone in single digits, like the eyes that's on a suezo, Like Michael on the river after the conversation with Fredo Just me and all my thoughts, my brain it melts like play-doh, I see a bird on the horizon with a tail that paints a rainbow, Am I dreaming or is this real life, feel it like a steel spike, Weird although it feels light, eyes can only see at night Think you know just what it feels like, so solemn and it feels nice, Mind spinning like a wheel on a trikes front wheel might, Belly drum, wind whistle, glitching like missingno Paranoia hits you in the belly hard like a steel toe Nobody in the vicinity to ever hear me speak a flow, Sleep powder from a Venasaur, I'll see you in a week or so, Drifting off atop the mountain, not a single thing is realer, Than the feeling it instils of peace, you feel it deep within ya, The heat flows off a Charizard, no peace is for a sinner, Feel so close to god, I am a god of mount silver Solitude, hold firm, dying of exposure Solitude no work, vying for the closure, Mind feels warm as the storm blows over, Solitude, hold firm, dying of exposure Solitude comes and solitude goes, Solitude knows, how to make you feel old, Lonely old solitude, with his bag of bones, Solitude comes and solitude goes All these challengers approach but they know this isn't Smash Bros, Snorlax blocks the way and you best take a different back road, These competitors is ekans , all you lacking is a back bone, Who else crush the elites and disappear into a black hole? But I don't mind it, I'm fine when inside my cave like outdoors Keeps me dry and safe, from the rain and downpour, Lying in wait, sounds of howls from the houndour, So each day I just train, for the destiny I'm bound for, Losing track of years, I disappeared I hope you find me, My rival and my peer has never been where I'm residing, My only real connection gone to wreck through years of fighting, Respect him highly, I just chalk it up to awful timing, Aspear berries in my smoothie quelle the shiver shakes, Nights awake skimming moon stones half across the lake, Thinking of the days that passed when my heart was filled with hate, Now it aches for competition, form a line outside the gates

Fragile mind, I find, isolated often Lay within my own walls, stonewall coffin, Commentary plays with each step as I'm walking Wonder if that's my real voice or the one I use for talking? - Got bars like the bars on a cell, - Ground harsh in the marsh that I fell I'm the ghost in the shell, with no hope to rebel, I'm the spirit that will dwell at the bottom of the well, - Got heart like an organ donor card, I've been open since the start, you don't listen to the art, Want 50 more bars, more funny, more bizarre, But the face beneath the clown paint stained with the tar, I use the moniker to temper my frustrations, Like buying new rugs for the floors I've been pacing, Need some new pages in this book I hold sacred You evolve or you die, that's the law out in nature Grant me a dandelion ego, that comes undone, With just one puff, so my pride cant snowball I've seen it avalanche on a real note, and it's not quite fun, Soon enough, I'll be done walking on glass, so please... Crazily Ego covered, got it wrapped up in the bubble wrap, Pride, haven't seen it since my last EP got doubled back, No emissions, since my self esteem got coloured black Move aside dignity, self pity's now in full effect - So close, but, could have been closer, Could have rubbed shoulders with the giants and the posers, Could have drawn attention like lines of the soldiers, Now pariah of the ogres, feeling tired and emotional, I Took my lumps like vinegar in coffee, - Singing rhythms softly to the rhythm of my heartbeat Hidden in the call sheet, whisper wisdom til I fall sleep Cost me, wisdom false, knowing nothing here is concrete, - Close quarters, sporting hearts on my sleeve - Those waters, coursing, sharks in the deep, - So supportive, sort of, hard for me to breathe, Not important, get involved then you leave - Grant me a dandelion ego, that comes undone, With just one puff, so my pride cant snowball I've seen it avalanche on a real note, and it's not quite fun, Soon enough, I'll be done walking on glass, so please... Crazily

Glass Joe 02:03
I've been trying to leave my mindset in the rear-view, It's foggy on the road and I'm just trying to steer through Trying to let go, I know you're there when I need you But even dreams can be nightmares when you're trying to sleep through Overhand combo's, Three, Two, Seven, Seven, sorry I think little mac went and did a number on me, You're my favourite hobby, feel the shots to the body, I'm pissing blood, we kiss and hug, but my footwork is sloppy Circle the ring, got that overhand cocked, I got to war in my mind, like the ring was my heart, And every smile that you throw got me openly shocked, I wont block next time I'll just be eating the shots Enough of the stalling, lace up and stop the talking, Now you're throwing up palms like you're reading my fortune, Can't hear your intentions over the crowd as their roaring, I'm just hoping that you'll call me, for something other than sparring, I'm Piston Hondo, got a banzai rush, Your bear hugger, unbearable I'm barely able to touch, To compare us, is like a leopard vs a duck, One square hook, so quick I'm barely able to duck I'm acting like Tyson, just fuckin chewing your ear off, I could talk you for eons, til your beauty just squares up, The crowd doesn't bother me, but you got me nervous, Now it's time to touch gloves, in the name of fairness, Got me sweating and I don't even know your name, I'll call you great tiger, knock the teeth out of my brain, Try stay in my lane, blows flurry down like rain, I'd take a million shots the face, just to meet you again, It's not an actual fight, It's in my mind and I know, It's a game in my brain, like I'm away for the show, You got to speak and I froze, I'm just a regular Joe, Switch the game over to tekken, you want a Gin for the road?

Ghost Train 02:50
[VERSE1] Early morning, this commute drains the life out my body, There's no church in the wild, this hour is ungodly, I just plug in my music and pray nobody stops me, It's too early to talk, my brain isn't in properly Cumulous mind, I leave my head up in the clouds Thoughts move like the train, the rails scrape and its loud, I see a face in the crowd, don't know how but I zoned out I feel like a wicked witch who just got hit with a whole house Lost in translation, like - I don't speak your language, But I think you're amazing, words feel so heavy handed Stranded, Jonah in the whale is like the train that we're packed in, Major factor, I feel so lost and I just hope for interaction, We locked eyes for a brief little moment, I was hoping you would look up from your book and then you'd notice, I was forming all the words in my mind making choices, Then the train brakes screech, you disappeared like the smoke did Please keep hands aboard at all times, Please step back behind the white line, The ghost train comes, with a sulphur smell Better fasten belts cause it's next stop: hell First class ticket, punched, train station, here it comes, Ticking down the minutes, I'll admit it, I'm a little bummed, Every single visit, when I'm plunged in darkness, Why was I ever given this heart to start with? Dark mornings, dark evenings, frost bitten Stark warnings, dark feelings, heart driven Charmed always, the storms calling, a lost prison Alarms roaring, cells dormant, I'm locked in it, Lost my mind, I'm trapped inside of a snakes belly, That crawls hellishly, claws scrawling a dark medley, So all aboard, as we set a course for the next ending, Then tomorrow, wake up we do the same thing, Noise loud in our ears don't phase us Spent my whole life saying I wont stay long Swift teardrops, ruin all your make up, I drift off, but jolt awake when the train stops Another ride, another chance for regret, where You pay the privilege, and penance in a set fare Eternal flames, I feel it across my neck hairs I'm so done, wake me up when we get there

SICK DECKARD I'm Sick Deckard, just for your records, Turning up heat like a sprint in a sweatshirt, Problem with me, I turn up like a dead cert, Make your head swerve when I let the lead burst, A master chief, move bacta cannisters back to Kashyyk, Mass Effect blue dialogue, every time that I speak, I creep on targets knife between teeth, Mess with this mandalorians will end in defeat I'm at the noodle bar, wink at the chef He's a necromorph, eggs in his neck, I clear my debt after I lay him to death, Then it's back with Shep, me and Liara having sex, It's just casual, the opposite of Doom Space wolf, so I howl at the moon I fuck a girl with three tits, high on speedballs I dont remember her name, total recall [BRIDGE] This is Xenomorph music, Yautja, rituals, I bet your two-bit, Planets inhospitable So get your clueless, Face hit with the tentacles, Be so foolish, You can kiss my genitals You wont live long, definitely wont prosper Pilot when I turn, so call me Hoban Washburn, You got nerve tryna replicate a god verse, Sick Deckard about to put you in a box first [CHORUS] I'm in the future, dystopian landscape, Hands raised, if your style isn't man made, Replicants, I put them in the damn grave, Sick Deckard, I'm Sick Deckard I'm breaking stereotypes, your breaking even, Cease repeating, or I'll make you stop breathing, Caught sleeping, me and you are uneven Sick Deckard, I'm Sick Deckard [VERSE2] There's no Kirk or Picard, only dirt in the stars, there are vermin living large, put a round in their heart, No sounds in the dark, better land in Mos Eisley, Banger after banger when the band playing lively Try and evade by me, better show some respect, I get killed and reset, change the stack in my neck I got jazz on cassette, collect debts I'm Spike Spiegel, Going after people like Boba in the sequels, Mobile suit lethal, I'm an Iron Blood orphan, Ion cannon shooting targets, I am high on endorphines, Grav boots when I'm walking, across the surface of the sun, Pull the saber better run, wipe your life for the funds, Doesn't matter where you're from, bring your centauri warships, Klingon's in my orbit, I'm about to make them forfeit, Move quick if a planet needs saving, Ships make me go stir crazy So amazing, tryna phase me, phase, Have your ships AI singing Daisy Daisy, [BRIDGE] This is Xenomorph music, Yautja, rituals, I bet your two-bit, Planets inhospitable So get your clueless, Face hit with the tentacles, Be so foolish, You can kiss my genitals You wont live long, definitely wont prosper Pilot when I turn, so call me Hoban Washburn, You got nerve tryna replicate a god verse, Sick Deckard about to put you in a box first [CHORUS] I'm in the future, dystopian landscape, Hands raised, if your style isn't man made, Replicants, I put them in the damn grave, Sick Deckard, I'm Sick Deckard I'm breaking stereotypes, your breaking even, Cease repeating, or I'll make you stop breathing, Caught sleeping, me and you are uneven Sick Deckard, I'm Sick Deckard [VERSE 3] This isn't rookie shit, worms looking succulent, Suckers getting took but, you should let the wookie win, When the gems flash, better run Logan run, Because if Deckard catches up, then the phasers set to stun, Dodging lasers here I come, this is room 101, On a mountain banshee with a gun high on spice melange, No electric sheep, I'm what androids dream of, E.T phones home, Deckard comms for a beam up My nicknames ender for how I end your life, Are you men or mice, have Lenny hold you tight, I know what you're thinking like I was thought police, I'm on the Vulcan streets, universal translator when I speak, A fifth element, developing grand plans, to Snatch a man and star race like óban Go and tell your boss man, I need around a hundred grand, Of space credits in my bank or he's getting buried in the Arakis sands
