BOY SAND:
I step up in a room full of fakes
Pollinate the mood until it takes
Move full of faith
Feel the shift so swift it make your dome spin
Show you nothing fit better than your own skin
I’m a quality over quantity dude
but every number on every ball out the lottery tube has gotta be whose?
People wonder how did he choose?
I don’t force it, when I’m tested ain’t no falses, just trues
That and loose screws
That and smooth moves
That and win wins
Never lose lose
Hear the vroom vroom
Flower petal to the metal full bloom
I ain’t talkin every once in a blue moon
Can’t nobody do it congruent
I don’t need a hit a marijuana just to clear the conduit
If there was a rock that hit the castle I threw it
If not then I’ma hop to it
In the pursuit of IQ
I left the cave I’m trying to handle all the light
So many rays so every day I gamble wit my life
Empassioned, fearless, puttin out my feelers, trying to get a bite
I speed right up to 18 wheelers, pass em on the right
And still ain’t got the time to strategize
Whatever my location, Satellite
I data analyze
I’m here to shine a lantern on the lies
Illuminate a pattern for a planet on the rise
I’m tuned in to the lows and the highs
I’m tuned in to hellos and goodbyes
Devils sprung to action once they saw me gettin wise, frickin’ spies
“Just a minute king here’s a wing here’s a thigh”
Obviously theys all fried
But look at how the time flies
That’s why i had to write it up for BKLYN Combine
Imagine that if everyone in Brooklyn combined
Just think how it would look to break up out the confines
And stop being compliant
I’m inviting all of y’all to come try it
We’ll all become giant
Could hardly trust in anyone we’ve all become biased
I’m reaching out to everyone of y’all that don’t buy it
To do your own science
How we ever gonna please the most high if we the most highest?
Hey
A the triple A to change the blown tires
Flame to light the bonfires
The truth is that the colonizer culture be the culture about the cash
Escape up out the cult and take the culture out the trash
The proof is in the pudding, you the woman or the man so do the math
For stitching up a gash
It’s more than entertainment, quit debating and complaining about the past
And wisen up and rise up to the task
Today it be the Sandman who’s relaying you the lay of the land
And the only thing I’ma do is free whoever I can

SHAD:
Everything I got is God-given
Gotta give it back
If I give my all
Whatever happens
I’ll live with that…
Never cared if they doubt me
Cuz it’s not about me
I just walk devoutly…
When I talk it’s outreach
I am not your mouth piece
I’m the opposite
I’m knocking out teeth
when I kick it
I’m Rhonda rousey..
Housekeeping! —
The beats knocking loudly
rocking crowds he’s
from Canada but
hot as south beach…
Funny how say they’re
The greatest ever
Meanwhile I got more to say
And I say it better
Say the truth and I say it clever
The kinda sayings
They’ll say forever
These guys say whatever
Go on…
I say what’s really going on
Then I go off to
keep em going strong
Cuz a lot’s going wrong
My ppl’s
still worse off
And they wont even read our work
Or do a workshop
It hurts
Still my purpose is peace
A priest for the poets
And a poet for the priests
Not just playing shows
When I’m on the road
It’s to make a new lane
I wrote these lines
For the streets
Micro to Macro
Quantum to Newtonian
I look at things from every level
Then step to the podium
I don’t play tho
This is plato’s symposium
dope as opium
It’s dystopian
What I do to the game
I ruined the game
Im jordan with the flu in the game
Air jordan
How I flew in the game
Air jordans cuz they all
Feel defeat
Like the shoe in game
I’m in a shoe in
Never losin the game
Big up ucla bruin
Obannon suing the game
On behalf of the students
We ain’t new to the game
Pay us every time
you’re viewing the game
or using our names
This is playground
hoops with the chains
This is mutual respect
In a human exchange
Look
Im the nicest
With the righteous talk
I heard your goats
Like a flock
And they twice as soft…
After any line the mic could drop
I fight the ops
Like a Jedi
Mind tricks
To strike and block
Watch my Light sabre
Slice and chop
Like I tied the knot
I’m saying I do
What these guys cannot
Grateful for the breath in our lungs
At the Same time grieving all the death
In the slums
At the same time leading
so the next can become
A reflection of the light
Where the blessings are from
Let’s go
Pure as Curry’s J
With the curry flavour
Ya’ll in the king’s court
Should try to curry favour
Raw as ol’ dirty chambers
Don’t make me Impersonate
the terminator’s
worst behaviours
Y’all should probably
Listen back
With the captions
Y’all should probably tip
Your cap
Lift your hat brim
Only rapper out that
Probably isn’t cappin
Just to try to lift sales
Like a shipping captain
Infinity stones
infinity jewels
They keep dropping
As I’m flowing like
infinity pools
I’m finna
make humility cool
I could probably make
Humidity cool
