1. The City

2009-11-18T23:20:00.000-08:00

birth the best when my pen mates with the paper
and im all over the city

my name is micl im so fat
about to go into labor hit the doctor on his pager
flow resembles freshness its obvious im a parent to the flavor
birth the best when my pen mates with the paper
and im all over the cityscape see me getting up
youre style is recycled empty and getting crushed
yo im not a gangsta i dont hold weapons but
ill put a red dot on you like a can of 7 up
perfecting syllables til my perception is 100
see me up on top of my game like a mountain yours is crumbling
deprivation produced determination then recorded in a basement
brought to life through CDS, stereos and stages
im micl i rock more than lil wayne clones in hipster clothes
gangsters used to diss backpackers now all rappers switched their flows
everybody going nowhere with no taste
my shoe styles so worn out cuz ive been all over the place and i

cant keep up with me quit complaining that your feet hurt
youll get smoked and styled on the way i wear my sneakers
so sit the fuck down and just cheer from the bleachers
and nod your fuckin head to what you hear from the speakers

2. Sound Style

2009-11-17T23:35:00.000-08:00

yo my names micl ring a bell? probably not
no new style patch up the one i got
crazy on the canvas paint the picture that i want
brain storm moving in when im developing a thought
names micl ring a bell? probably not
knew no style since i fell from the box
appear picture perfect i incredibly do not
sitting in a dark room im developing a lot

one heart two lungs four eyes check it
one mic two hands for me to wreck it
when ive got the floor it draws you in like quick sand
quicker than you blink and deeper than you think man
delete your defintion hip hop is here
all the way to the back its blaring clear
turning heads on stage make you do a double take
cause i spit that shit you didnt come prepared to hear
my names micl i could do this forever
create the sound and the style always keep it together
this is not a fashion show though its rigorous work
miclangelo i paint a picture with words

clear the runway taking flight tonight
above the clouds and underground low and high tonight
from the finish to the start dim the lights tonight
bridge a gap and elevate the mic tonight

not full of hot air and this shit aint forced
love hate with my state but well never get divorced
til death do us part its what deadened my heart
we keep repping our section til were stepping on stars
east of the west but west of the east
grand avenue and forty second street dead meat
there studying the ultrasound
its clear to see were soon to be outbound
already so behind and out like unicorns
its all good you cant catch me in a flashy uniform
springing up like crops--- circling cities of corn
put up the yellow tape and orange signs youve been warned

3. Late Pass

2009-11-16T23:36:00.000-08:00

been absent for a minute but im back in the booth
i dont act its the truth just do it like the swoosh
but unlike the swoosh this is not mass produced
if you think youre making moves you probably dont have a clue
dont even care to ask who the fuck are you
cuz kings are just pawns with a few more moves
im on a daily unstoppable search for the truth
no rush to be through so i never back down
refuse to rock a halo just to sell more like crackdown
been grinding for years so its time to put the axe down
right now move it get down to it get down to it
most of this new shit lacks and it proves
that we need to bring the quality back like the troops
i dont support corrupt presidents sorry if thats you
but i recognize americas backwards like papoose

(prophecy)
a diatribe of cyanide

ten nine aint no time for that i bring it back
like a rebirth premature meet the earth
get down to it get down to it
got it rough itll pass
not enough itll last
always gotta get it fast
slow down shitll crash
always lost get a map
not a clown didnt laugh
yeah but you fit the mask
nothings up didnt ask
yo i climb mountains up as high as the stars
and dig bb king on electric guitar
its a fact im the sickest thing seen or unseen
and coach didnt cut me bitch i cut the team
a few screws loose but my heads on straight
you gag on mad dicks i pitch for the braves
when i landed on this land mustve crashed like waves
somehow i got down to it
rhyme until my voice is hoarse
got soul? the choice is yours
theyll see how low youll sell it for
entice you with a trojan porsche
my call to the world
like all boys and girls
come on get down to it
get down to
dirty money island
dead meat industry
dumb meaningless insecurity
default mediocre identity
dying melancholic interior
developing modern ingenuity
done moving inferior
done moving irrelevant
demanding more intelligence
decades meticulously invested in this
deserves more interest
definitely evolving simultaneously moving on in new exciting styles
get down to
work like were trying earn dollars and coins
everybody blames eachother for the dumb in des moines
for some the easy lessons are the hardest to learn
we got bridges with big blue arches to burn
so lets get down to it

4. Cold Word

2009-11-15T23:54:00.000-08:00

nows the time to keep enemies close
note find a tighter rope to climb out from under the microscope
they say life is a road
my minds twenty five thousand feet above tokyo
passionate like lovers moans
pulling people out comfort zones
not efficient like those other drones
but the best like mother knows
from we proudly present to you to thats all folks
summoned a dead friend got em to come
but no indication if the water gets drunk
by night i find myself in a bottle of rum
sitting in the street cats gotten my tongue
i stole enough from this world all that i could ask for and more
now i wonder whats next in store
ive had nowhere to go wandering the street
and decided all i have is the beat
some let the devils horns loose
and make a toast mix the champagne with the orange juice
i say lets grind it out until this life is worn through
and nobody can tell if real or dream is more true
that morning i awoke unaware
cigarette smoked floated up the stairs
cant open my eyes too much glare from the sun
roll over back to relaxing ignorance one
minute til im rudely awakened by the truth
of it all everything big and small
if you think you know it all you probably dont have a clue
let your mind wander out and itll come right back to you
think about the fact that you were born and now youll die
do you pretend to know the reason or just simply wonder why
why? we

babble on and on, babble on and on
lies upon lies, lies upon lies
babble on and on, babble on and on
lies upon lies, tower up to the sky

to reach the stars glowing lights instead
of our own photo album we maintain until our death
this pictures perfect except the brain in that persons head
this cold world creates such a sad story
loosely based on heartbreak and missing messiahs
the truth erased creates illusions of gaia
actions speak louder than words
but just cuz you shout something doesnt mean that its worth being heard
so quiet down like meditating
anything worth pointing out already goes without saying
dont know why what or who wrote the script and yet don no wai wut or hoo rote tha script n yet
we all play out our roles until they tear down the set
its getting hard to breathe with the world on my chest
i stare into the mirror and take a minute to reflect
information interstate of mind
reading books of lies with crooked eyes
paralyzed by imperfection stood in line
we couldve wouldve shouldve took the time dont look surprised
wise men dont try to justify sin
but after all were only human so lets all just dive in
some dream of what seems more exciting
crowd roaring thunder and camera flash lightning
but when the [weIt] builds up how much lower can you sink
the price on your heads a lot lower than you think

5. Amnesia

6. Staying Up

2009-11-13T00:58:00.000-08:00

i just want to fall asleep
i just need to get to sleep

i look to my left and see a pencil on the desk i cant rest it just will never be enough
i look to my right and see the light i think tonight ill just have to give in and stay up
i look into the mirror the sights i see the sounds i hear all seem to slowly disappear and fade away
i look down on the floor and right by my dresser drawer an old notebook that kept the memories of yesterday

its the feeling that you cant quite reach
its a concept that you cant quite grasp
its the future that you cant foresee
its a question that you cant quite ask

i look at the time it says four thirty plus that clocks an hour early im noticing a trend i need to end
i look up and see the ceiling what an unfamiliar feeling im seeing a pattern and i can no longer pretend

7. [reIz] this city

2009-11-12T00:59:00.000-08:00

i am the arch in the aquaduct

i am the slave that dug this city
i am the slave that runs this city
i am the slave that built this city
i will be the slave that kills this city

boxed in a nation traced by some outli[n]ers
pilgrims with the pass touchdown 49ers
quote freedom stem christ- with the assist one timer
poor souls alley oop it to the ones up higher
this whole worlds just an incomplete thought
we sit lost in translation still twitter one liners
its like im fed up with fed ex the delivery is tired
cant tell friends from foes and the lines getting finer
the systems getting stale and the economy expired
who remembers red when the giver gets fired
who even gives a fuck anymore its a shame
gave up on everything like we got bored of a game
politics is fashion, presidents are in this year
promised transparency but it still isnt clear
would we even know if were about to go under
they paint a fake picture like the roadrunner
records are erased and conveniently missing
cant ever separate the fact from the fiction
just now releasing tapes of richard nixon
with the power that they wield - so much more is still concealed
trapped in our lies we invent our own prison
justice is served on lunch trays in soup kitchens
only god can judge but its beyond his jurisdiction
those with empty vision envy his position
this whole words just the barrel of a gun_
beliefs slip of the tongue some run with it
_dont believe every book ever written
let alone trust the version of the truth on television
detrimental to listen to whatever edition
being stuck in submission has become a religion
teleprompters tellin me to go off the cuff
dont reach for the sun its too hot to touch

8. Guns to the Sky

9. Every Day

2009-11-10T01:04:00.000-08:00

the cycle repeats monday
gettin on my feet tuesday
just another day wednesday
almost through the week thursday
always on the beat friday
getting crazy saturday
gotta take a rest sunday
always do it best everyday

started in the dmi took the mic to ic
now wherever i am im there to rip it nicely
barely i remember january to december
a day when i didnt do life lively
its difficult livin day to day
i give it my best shot like a fade away
its difficult livin day to day
i give it my best shot then fade away
and the cycle repeats monday
gotta find a way to get out of this someday
but for now im just moving along
when i think ive reached my peak i keep proving me wrong

(genetrix)
yo im cool like lukes hand not cut off like skywalkers
fly talkers on the beat creepin low like street walkers
kickin shit like soccer
on the way back training like stallone in meat lockers
hands bloodied clothes tattered
cause theres gotta be a way to try to break out of this pattern
im gripping rungs on the ladder
but ill fall face first because this shit never mattered
climbing off the floor tuesday
pretend its not a chore wednesday
the next day remember that i gotta keep up
but then i look back behind me and ive already won

(joe wright)
i see the light at the end of the tunnel
i think im almost there but the cycle repeats itself
no say at all from me
its all just to live my life idly
weeks turn to months and months into years
but when it all blends together thats what we fear
not going to spend it all just trying to earn
because in the end it will eventually burn
we all want the life and to save the day
but most of us just sit and fade away

i wont stop rhyming til probably never cuz there is nothing better
and i wont stop styling til i take off all my clothes and even them im so damn throwed
and i wont stop drinking until i know im way too loose and i run outta write bros juice
and i wont stop being alive until the motherfuckin day i die

10. Together

2009-11-09T01:06:00.000-08:00

not much time gotta make a move now
you know its artificial without roots underground
second half fourth quarter eighth eighth make way
phonetically superior its in my dna
i live in a city where the lights are bright
but still unnacompanied mics arent safe at night
back it up like theres nothing to see here
but its clear im killin it so im glad you could be here

start back move forward rise up just a little
glide to the side and now back to the middle
dont know if u can call this tangible but i still love it
cuz everyone can feel it but nobody can touch it

cocky when my record rotates like uzumaki
im fresh youre the opposite of raw like yaki
i fuck with your head like sake your styles too common
you cant do shit but wait for me to cool off like ramen
caution my music causes ceisures and it may
not leave you in one piece be careful when it plays
so put the record on and close the case like conan
and when the needle hits make you jump like shonen

yo we could be alone together if youre with me
spread your wings and flap with me flying high over the city
theres nowhere else id rather be than in the I
red handed killing it on the mic all night
a dj and a mic and a soundcheck please
and a crowd and a beat and ive got everything i need
a dj and a mic and a crowd and a beat
in I-O-W-A and i got everything i need

my words hit the road theyre always going places
they always have a point thats called a destination
see thru the connotation straight to the definition
the way my songs hit the streets i put the litter in alliteration
literally im wasting anybody from the basement
up to the top floor i scrape the sky my tape is why
fuck fame is my philosophy I to the O to the W to the A til i die

start back move forward rise up just a little
glide to the side and now back to the middle
taking off blades sharp swinging like a samurai's
sound check sounds fresh straight style of the I

11. All Over

2009-11-08T01:21:00.000-08:00

all over the world everybody goes, ohhh
all over the country everybody goes, ohhh
all over the state everybody goes, ohhh
all over the city everybody goes, ohhh

a fictional story of a sudden realization
peace to each nation that we all participate in
creation to cremation anguish felt from form of fetus
fluent in the language but its dangerous just to speak it
when u dont have a penny just a glass half empty
see the glass half full and it can still be plenty
my name is what you call me heights dependent on my mood
my weight is different on the moon no restriction to my diction
organ donor borrower loaner
eyes may be blue or grey today
but 20 20 vision and all thats my address
life is a bitch and my age is infinite
and in the end i understood it fairly well
i figured out i had no clue and life was just a fairy tale
as i recite the last lines to this neverending story
i fade away to ash and dissapear into dust

every introduction has one last verse
if you want to win a race you gotta run laps first
conditioning is crucial in creating context
the senses intercept your lense is convex
relentless intellect everything is nonsense
big city bustle with a universal twist
small world after all and its all over quick
my name's micl peace out
