๐ Lyrics
When the moon shines at noontime
And the sun blazes at midnight
Dark and night coincide
I stay inside and keep the lid tight
Catch sight of the morning that passes by through my window
Another child is born
Another dies
And still the wind blows
Spin slow drawl into
Strong voice of reason
Standing in the snow
Thinking of summer
Just longing for another season
Belong in no particular region but here I stand
Just rocked another show
Just can't remember where I am
And my family's far from here
But the stars are bright this evening
Or this morning
Or this afternoon
Just got here now I'm leaving
And I sure remember tomorrow
Just as clear as I do yesterday
Never dance with the devil
Cuz I can't afford the hell to pay
Wanna blast through your speakers
Every time you're pressing play
Wanna fix your phonograph
So we can set the record straight
Dear God I pray
Just let me show this world a better way
How you held me to your heart through all the times I fell away
I get ta
Say these words and speak my peace to captive crowds
Not certain if it's day or night
But I know the time is now
And if we ever lose the purpose as a prelude to the sound
Let's just call it a day
And burn my empire to the ground
Yeah
Amazingly
The Cask of Amontillado
Cracks wide open and vibrates your bravado
Sewn-up escape
Body-bagging
Like I'm the Count of Monte Cristo
World tour
Me el coffee shopping and we're coming to your bistro
We show bright when it comes to your ability
I be yelling out homonyms like I dwell impossibility
We gonna call it a day because I know you're feeling me
Listener
Rapper
Potpourri of life
All synonyms to cornucopia
I'm so glad you have a wife
In this wolf eat salmon world
You better grab swords to saw your nods off
You'll get chopped up by the needle
When it spins over to my rhyme yo
Rap music guys and self-titled artists alike
Please think twice before you say your things on the microphone
I might not be but I take it seriously
When you really listen to the words and you're not just hearing me
Day and night
Wrong or right
Spill my guts with every breath of the mic
And hope you call it tight
If it's blind
Give it sight
If it's dark
Make it light
Some call it music
Deep space calls it life
(Yo Yo)
Day and night
Wrong or right
Spill my guts with every breath of the mic
And hope you call it tight
If it's blind
Give it sight
If it's dark
Make it light
Some call it music
Deep space calls it life
Yeah
Working it out (out)
Placing my feet to concrete
Hitting the street with a vengeance
Stench is so sweet
But bitter we consider every circle we pass
Probly the reason that I'm breezing through class
So steadfast
We push
To find the bush that was burning
Stating determined and yearning
Because the lessons we learning are lifelong (lifelong)
It's my song
I place to erase
And transpose all these average Joes
With weak flows who knows not
The true and living rose who ascended
Blended with the beat
Compete then apprehended (uh huh)
Today's feeling alright
Color at nights
Being blocked by the shock
And the ray that we play at light
Now I've gone a full day without some wackness heard
The one speaking absurd is finally heeding my word (yeah right)
And now I'm left with nothing else to say
That'd be the night that I called it a day (call it a day)
Ima throw thoughts to a page let 'em fall where they please
Let 'em rise to the sky
Rain down to form seas
An ocean of possibilities to dwell in
Yelling at the top of my lungs
Convicted by stone tablets as a felon
A nocturnal being of love since the dawn of time
Watch the sun rise from both my daughters' eyes
Permanent shine
Find my reflection inside
Living to die
Dying to live
And all glory giving back to God
It was the night that
24 turned into 12
Had to dust my spiral off
From the top of the shelf
On the blank page
Using the utensil of potential
I'm diggin in my brain
So I can rip the instrumental
But 20 bars left
And I'm consistent from the intro
Lighting candlesticks
As the rain hits my window
Need to focus in
Take the topic and let it flow
Got 8 down for the count with 16 to go
The writer's blocks are stepping stones
Towards the metronome
I'm racing deadlines with headlines
Placed amongst poems
Nocturnal with my journal
A wordplay professor
The aggressor
Resembling soda cans under pressure
I'm shaken but not stirred
Deterred from my train of think
Now I'm aligned
Readjust it to infuse the ink
I wanna handcuff
The hands of time
No grace period here allotted for
He is the sunshine
Day and night
Wrong or right
Spill my guts with every breath of the mic
And hope you call it tight
If it's blind
Give it sight
If it's dark
Make it light
Some call it music
Deep space calls it life
(Yo yo)
Day and night
Wrong or right
Spill my guts with every breath of the mic
And hope you call it tight
If it's blind
Give it sight
If it's dark
Make it light
Some call it music
Deep space calls it life
Bet I'm casting nets that dredge the deep blue ways of wet
God's silhouette on watered palettes
Painted pink by suns that set
Burned from a long days work but feeling fine
Tip it's cap and pat the moon upon it's back as day declines
Candlelight switch
I just slip into the evening
And curtsy to the sun
As it dips below the ceiling
Feeling sorta satellite
Like the wind beneath my wings
Walk a tightrope with gravity
Keep lunar kites on orbit strings
Span on the moon light
Dream before my time
Like the moon reflects the sun
I make the black begin to shine
Like the moon rewinds the waters
Makes the ocean recline
I collapse your mind
I'm Syntax
The melancholy kind
Redefine the best
Frame fresh
In terms of holiness
Bless the mic device
Cuz I get nice plus keep a conscience
Hence I split the tense
Mince words like sentence fragments
Moon dust the bus
Cuz I ain't in it for the cabbage
The incandescent crescent
Spits it's omnipresent flame
But my fame to flicker out
My name Syntax to wax and wane
For the name above names
So glad that Christ came
The black burned bright the night he called it a day
Shadow step for the One
Unearthing every tongue
Run underneath the cover of the night time sun
Lungs
Broken and scraped
Spoken on shattered breaks
Pierce the black hole soul with my faith as I take
Break minutes back from Father Time to coordinate seconds
I surround the 11th hour with sound as my weapon
Feeling threatened cuz they sweat the syndrome of the wicked
Heading for your auditory where the Listener would stick it
Fix it with skill
When it breaks from the construction
Crushing your framework and far surpassing your presumption
Sun raised like your score with notes my surfacings
Grey matter meteor
Earthly call for Elohim
And when the sun sets
Some one lets the mic down
We pipe down
Unplug it and leave it tied down
But not before we retire the pen
Knowing tomorrow we'll be back just to do it again
Uh, shackled and scarred
I still maintain my praise of dark days
A sullen world
Covered in pain
So from Dusk 'till Dawn
I represent his word
Deepspace 5
Sent to serve
We travel in the sands of the lost and we understand
We battle with the possible chance you take the cross
On your block in your speakers dues is paid
We out for a change
In The Night We Called it a Day
And the sun blazes at midnight
Dark and night coincide
I stay inside and keep the lid tight
Catch sight of the morning that passes by through my window
