[Chorus] Whether you’re standing strong or whether you can’t help but fall (We’re all livin’ the same way) Whether you tried your best or whether you never lived at all (We’re all dyin’ the same way) Whether you loved and lost or whether you never loved at all (We’re leavin’ the same way) Whether the guns have popped or whether or not you ran and stalled (We’re all bleedin’ the same way) [Verse 1] I’m really ready to die as if I’m Chris Wallace I hate to be this honest, but just like tomorrow you know there ain’t shit promised It’s the curse of being so quixotic, always two moves away from ruination but still living regardless Gotta let it out while I’m breathing cause when I die I hope the life that gets read about in the end had a meaning Born Leo stuck with this fire in my heart Soul’s frio but it always burns bright in the dark Had my heart broken many times consecutively I learned the hard way, this world will test you to see Just what it takes to make you into the best you can be It hurts to stargaze too much, you should accept what you see In every one of these bitter verses it’s easy for you to assume I think all of this shit is worthless I’ll let you visit my life with lines you can visualize, got words floating in waves like ribbons in the sky like… [Chorus] [Verse 2] Well such as life, that much is right Even when I can’t help but open up all these cuts at night I just breathe and let em bleed as if my spirit’s been cauterized and I get the call that god’s arrived Me and this world are kinda like lovers but star-crossed I can’t describe the kind of inflictions these scars caused It’s kinda strange how this life can change in the blink of an eye and stain your heart with the kinda pain that ignites your brain And makes you reminisce on days when shit wasn’t so difficult That’s why my pen is sick cause my history’s residual I wish someone who didn’t know me would go and say some dumb shit, thinking I could take away this pain with just one wish Even when some of the seams of my life start coming unzipped I stand and fight there ain’t a man alike me I roll with the punches and yet I pull none, my soul is spiteful and I may be suicidal but I still show to be the most insightful [Chorus] [Verse 3] I can’t ever relax, it’s like I’m addicted to pain Set to relapse at any minute from the shit in my brain This is insane, like bitterness sits in my veins but I sift through the flames like the devil lives in my frame I’m tryna dodge every shot as if nothing can scratch me Jot heavy plots about my life, something that’s catchy but still genuine at the end of the day Anyone who doesn’t like it, man I’ll send em away My life experiences haven’t been all rainbows and sunshine The timeline veers as the pain grows, alumni of depressive front lines Movin’ like a wounded soldier Walk alone while my heart just grows blue and colder by the second That’s why I live and let die Flying right through this dismal existence with red eyes cause I don’t sleep Give enough rope and I won’t hang myself There’s nothin’ else to say cause I’ll die slow just to change my hell [Chorus]

[Intro] Just the same as it ever was We ain’t left just yet Still here Aight, yo Yo [Verse 1] Somebody better call the exorcist, coming is the mastermind, Weapon X Living devilish just for the hell of it I mastered rhymes, your last in line, fucking irrelevant Niggas are delicate, I stretch em like old sweater necks Forever vexed, so I‘m alive as a vampire Draining your blood you get strangled you with piano wire Stab a nigga in the fat of his neck Fast mass murder without burners or grabbin a TEC I’m a dirty and shifty dog that’s feral that’ll hog tie 30-50 people and put em in peril My free will gives me elite skills to barrel into your bone marrow with neither of my palms sterile Your lips quiver at the vision of the most fucking sinister motherfucker that’s willing to split niggas And if I’m standing behind enemy lines then I abandon peace signs, remember every line like [Hook x2] You all better watch what you say, better watch what you do Death is here and he’s coming for you Part two and the night’s still young We’re still on the darkside so you can fight, kill or run but [Verse 2] I smack niggas with Novation, with this rapping shit I’m making that back in the day shit I’m lacing every track with abrasions I got a hunger for blood and a thirst I get a rush from the hurt and you’ll get bussed in a hearse There’s discussions in church about my language because I cause anguish My raps will leave you brainless Using several methods for severing heads Measuring weapons to send you to a bed for dissecting instead I’m cocking the lead back there’s no stopping the pen, black ink is in my pocket, your neck snaps under the pressure It’ll be the last thing you ever see Wounds fester like rotten vegetables You memories will forever be flooded with images of the devil in disguise From your eyes to your brain he’s entering Give niggas shellshock when hell knocks You’re deadlocked, loud signals of war when my bells rock [Hook x2] [Verse 3] Preaching spoken word of omens The doors to heaven are no longer open You stand back choking on black smoke Coughing up both lungs, you feel the need to hold tongues Whenever people see me most run You hyperventilate until your mind degenerates Buzzing inside your mental plane with pain that resonates A man on a mission to make your condition critical Make you minuscule in the physical or digital I’m tearing straight into your capillaries Got a plan to stash and bury any adversary tryna pass for scary Bust your head until the white meat shows I crush motherfuckers whenever my teeth close Cause at night I like to sleep with a weapon I’m searing just like a lethal injection I’d hop into fucking a mirror just to beat your reflection Teach you a lesson, and that’s after I get done with deceasing your brethren [Hook x2] [Outro] You all better watch what you say (better watch what you say) Better watch what you do (better watch what you do) Better watch how you play (better watch how you play) Better watch how you move (better watch how you move) Is you with it, or is you not? Yeah, 302 back up in this bitch

[Intro] You know I don’t really like to talk about the shit that goes on in my life But let me tell y’all a lil story about why I am the fucking way that I am And I think I should start at the beginning… [Verse 1] This shit begins at life’s conception, birthed in July of 97 My sister born five years later, a mighty blessing there’s Plenty of love but despite this, one’s vices can spiral into a crisis if isn’t guided right then Year 2G is when things started to go wrong No longer got security to hold on to, sayin so long Family structure damaged and punctured, me and my sister cant even understand the disruption Since I was seven I felt my first dosage of pain Lack of direction, anxiety just flows through my brain It all goes through my veins, all you saw is the anger that I fucking showed through my face Around that time I couldn’t tell you where my dad was at, he was present yet absent can’t help but be mad at that Separated from care for his kids, worse for wear The life in his eyes devolved to a worthless stare [Hook x2] I’m asking where did you go Ans if you were planning to leave then why didn’t you let me know? ‘Cause now I can’t help but feel so alone I guess that’s just the way that shit goes I got a question though [Verse 2] Fast forward, 2006, Delaware from Colorado Like hell I’m scared that everything would fall apart tho New lives, new friends, new place, a few times my parents really tried to not lose faith Feeling lonely in fear like I was Bruce Wayne Didn’t wanna experience any new pain I’m just a kid but insanely confused, every day watching from afar seeing my parent’s marriage come loose Addicted to the liquor he’s tripping into the house Throwing up the contents of his stomach all on the couch Head’s pounding, ears ringing at the sound of his spouse Mom is so sick of the shit she ends up kickin him out No dad in the house made me an old soul, only my mom with nobody else while tryna tackle both roles Trapped inside of a chokehold, stashed in my mind years of hurt that I’ll hold until I grow old At thirteen is really when I first seen just to how mean the world can be, like it’s tryna hurt me Comin home despondent from school cause I’m losing my cool, my mood wont respond to the rules that Life is throwing at me, now I’m acting meager cause I can’t talk about it, and I can’t speak to my family neither The older I get I’m growing into a loner I’m trying to be a soldier but I just wanna roll over Cold shoulders from everyone messing with my emotions Leave me bleak, I’m wondering why he’s never sober Bury my face in my iPod I load with music cause I carry my rage without an approach to use it Got to high school, shit wasn’t much better, mow I’m just traumatized and unable to to get up Seems like everyone just wont let up I’m gettin sick of all the pressure, I bet I’d slip and fall if I mess up just one little thing and let people down, innocence stolen now it can never be found Now here I am 23 years old unresolved issues just leave me cold [Hook x4] [Outro] That shit’s crazy man That shit’s crazy forreal

[Intro] Yo, uh Yo, yea Yo, uh, yo, what the fuck? Uh, yeah [Verse 1] I’m dressed in all black even when it’s like 99 degrees Always keep a small batch of icy rhymes at least that’ll press on your mind harder than Lyme’s disease Better fall back cause you can’t fuck with my prestiege Lucid I talk to suicide often like flirting Use my mind to get euthanized or scatter my fucking brain matter all on the wall just like a blind surgeon I’ll just do it to y’all so that your mind’s hurtin I know I’m crazy, not slim but shady Make you hallucinate like you’re carrying rabies Gone to the hospital pushing a stolen Mercedes with a bomb strapped to my chest so the staff’s pushing up daisies Peel back the skin and then I crack your chin Have your body mass going from fat to thin If you fucking piss me off I’mma count to ten Surround your men, leave em dead after drowning them [Hook x2] You’re gonna get found whether it’s dead or alive I can tell that you’re scared just by the look in your eyes There ain’t nowhere to run and there ain’t nowhere to hide So go and grab your guns and your blades and your knives [Verse 2] Am I Xavier or Satan? Who knows? All I know is I’mma lay you to waste then, your bros can’t even step in the Way just to save them, imposed my will to place your Elimination, disposed of kills because I’m Making your living situation worse, I ain’t thinking about all of the stipulations first I just straight up burst into a motherfucking fit of rage and curse Doing you niggas in quick, I’ll stick your face in dirt Who do you think you’re fucking with? You need to duck and split Hugging the street while you’re face down, cut up and stripped Stitches ripping at your skin til your shit breaks Incisions given with expert precision no mistakes Swept the rug from under them, use it for smothering Structures are crumbling when my footsteps are thundering Put em under like anesthesia, I’mma need ya to surrender before I give you a seizure You think since I’m 5 foot 8 that I wont violate your face and break it like china plate? I’m not in the right mind of state to give you niggas anything else, just nothing but blinded hate [Hook x2] [Verse 3] I don’t do black music or white music I make the soundtrack to you gettin pursued with a knife music That kill on sight music if I see some slight movement I’mma lose my mind to it and drive a spike through it A conduit for insanity, my family seems a bit concerned cause they haven’t learned how to handle me I’m awful, you and your mom’ll get a jawful of loose teeth, you know my cruelty is hostile You wanna send me shots? Try again I’ll dress you in Forget-me-nots Funeral eulogy read with violins played in the back, bitch don’t chance it I’ll have you dissolved with acid tongue, burn niggas into ashes It’s almost like I drank Hannibal Lectar’s blood and fucking became a cannibal disconnecting your lungs Swear to god you shouldn’t be testing me, X’ll leave a Blood rushing fountain in the spot where your head should be [Hook x2] [Outro] There ain’t nowhere to run And there ain’t nowhere to run I can tell that you’re scared Just by the look in your eyes Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Nowhere

Slither 03:58
[Intro] Once again found myself at a loss for words I don’t really got shit to say, but I know if you know you’re gonna feel it And if you don’t, I don’t really give a fuck so you should listen Yo, yo [Verse] You got a likable face, you give me dap but you a fake Not genuine, you a liar I ain’t passin’ you no plate I would rather stay alone than to hang with all you vultures The hate is strong, dawg I can see through all your motives I’d rather be in my zone I just keep to myself cause you You a leech inside of my home and deceitful as hell So stay out of my proximity, I’m layin’ down the boundaries So you niggas can’t get to me, preyin’ and tryna hound me That tone in my voice has got the qualities of knife blades Right into your face with the way my honesty my scathe Your actions and intentions are fuckin’ night and day The way you spit venom I imagine you bite prey You ain’t nothin but a buncha fuckin’ bloodsuckers Rotten like some tooth decay, the true is they want you to suffer Who’s to say I need em in my life I got enough trouble On my mind, you crossed a line, you pushed the wrong button I don’t play that so stay back, I’m cleanin’ house like I’m Ajax You stray rats might lay traps, I’ll squeeze em out for payback To trust your intuition is a must that shit’s a given Fuck niggas don’t fit in like a man in a women’s prison Nigga, you ain’t my homie, so you shouldn’t go calling me Haven’t seen me in a minute and frontin’ for all to see That wide smile on your face is a dead giveaway Don’t penetrate my circle, I’ll hurt you if you don’t gimme space You’ve been a snake, see all my moves and you try to imitate You sit and wait idly by tryna assimilate to reap the benefits of some people you won’t remember six months after This dumb actor, you isn’t clever bitch Cut the grass low and let em show, cause you assholes had better know what’s good for you in my terrordome You the reason why my anxiety’s high, panic attacks, can’t stand to be tracked quietly Why do I even bother with niggas? Just nothin’ but collateral Shocker, it figures that my fuckin’ trust was crackable With the niggas that you roll with you gotta pick and choose I don’t want my time stolen, I got too much shit to lose Want me to change to try and fit with you? I ain’t buyin’ it All that talk and bullshittin’ you need you to silence it Don’t let the slightest bit of kindness confuse you You’ll find that I’m not the kind of person that you’re used to Forever removed out of my mind, the point of proving how we ain’t the same and I can promise you that much Put the locks on the doors, board the windows and put the latch up Notice when these niggas are bogus and start to act up I think that there ain’t nothin’ left to say Niggas that disappear be the niggas that’s with you yesterday Keep the specific ones close and throw the rest away before they to try catch you with it and put you to rest today

[Intro] Yo [Verse 1] I feel like I’m trapped in a nightmare where nobody seems to fight fair The world beats you to a bloody pulp and leaves you right there Bleeding out of smashed mouth, fleeting hours you’re passed out, I swear I’m heated and wanna lash out There’s injustice in every part of the system Fuck your Three-Fifths, so many started the schisms I swear repercussions for actions unjust they manifest into to nothing and the reaction’s mistrust we’ve been sentenced to death by all these power hungry fucks The menace of black breath, its the fucking country’s crux I’m constantly wondering am I next Counting down every second while I stand by vexed Straight looking over my both of my shoulders Watching for the cops while living in fear they’re gonna pull me over Hoping they don’t knock my teeth in the back of my throat Praying that I won’t be hanging from the gallows and choked [Hook] When does it ever end? It’s like a jungle sometimes, no need to wonder why we keep on going under I ask When does it ever end? This county will take your first child, scar your life, cripple your style and still When does it ever end? Because everyone knows that we’ve been hurt, we’ve been down before and still When does it ever end? We try our best to survive no matter what we try to stay alive, but still [Verse 2] White on black crime seems to be y’alls favorite pasttime Whatever we act like we catch a knife to the backside and That last line is aimed at all you dangerous motherfuckers, it’s like you ain’t changed a bit from last time Presidential executions deemed essential It’s evident you got bad intentions on your mentals Stenciled bodies lying dead full of lead like a pencil, numbers are exponential Families cry so I’m fully judgmental A nation burns cause these motherfuckers never learn Fighting for the rights these fuckers think we have to earn Take down their whole administration My motiavtion is to put a stake through the heart of the operation Standing ovation for the land of the oppressed Distressed and dressed for all the shit that I express People prepared to beat y’all to death, stealing the breath of motherfuckers that are fake kneeling for rep [Hook] [Verse 3] These cowards in polos go pull out gats Lookin like somebody had the cast of Full House strapped People try and call it self-defense, Shit, I call it evil, defense at someone else’s expense A deadly precedent set by your former fucking president Heavy malevolence for every unlucky resident Acting all high and mighty like you’re divinely heaven sent But when you’re set on melanin it’s to a less extent Ever since I discovered this I just look at y’all funny Hypocritical christians fronting and shit like they love me But I can already tell that you see as ugly cause you’re shook, you’d rather see me in hell or be hungry Under a bridge or hanging with a rope in a tree With both of my feet dangling, hoping I bleed Goddamn consider this shit the start of a payback When we shoot sign the death certificates and the name tags [Hook] [Outro] (When does it ever end?)

Setting Sun 05:18
[Intro] I got a weird, weird way of looking at life sorta, but If I can leave y’all with anything, I’mma let it be this [Hook] So when it’s time I lay in the ground, keep on playin my sounds Lord knows I wasn’t meant for stayin around Life or death or at whatever fucking time is left I’mma live forever even when my sun has set When it’s time I lay in the ground, keep on playin my sounds Lord knows I wasn’t meant for stayin around Life or death or at whatever fucking time is left I’mma live forever even when my sun has set [Verse 1] Let me lay it out for you here, play it out in front of your peers I ain’t backin down from nothin, get smacked around for judgin As the world turns I grow colder but I’ll stay hot enough to watch it burn, I swear to god you got a lot to learn About my life, I won’t ever let shit blow over without a fight, like striking a match it’s burnin down tonight Safeguarded my heart behind some bars that’s harder than steel, I don’t need niggas to pardon my zeal I’m sparking a feel, go in like a shark for the kill Don’t give a fuck about what most of you niggas be thinkin cause I know deep inside of my heart the shit’s real You have me disregarded be very aware that your karma is sealed Alone with stress you never expect the mind to think The only rest I’m geting is everytime I blink because I’m the product of a life that’s been unfair to me So I started writing to make it so you wouldn’t dare to breathe [Hook] [Verse 2] Fuck it, you wanted me to be honest? Well you got it This fucking mind of mine is racing at every topic Skeletons in my closet and questions that need some solving I’m Constantly living this life when I would rather off it I swear to god this flesh prison makes me nauseous So I scream fuck the world, I want it hurled in a coffin I’ll never stop until shit’s better off or until the metal pops and the contents of my mental drop I’ll set it off like Dana, Kane, or Madball, outfitting pain that’s tailor made to every glass jaw Make you take the last fall cause I’m finished with limits all of you motherfuckers get quickly distanced for bitching I’m flipping the switch, straight up switching the script Keep playing games I’ll make you niggas sit in a ditch I’m gonna be on the ready, no running from a motherfucking thing even when my heart is heavy Turn all this shit to ancient history Dismiss all the misery til that shit’ll be a distant memory Thoughts leaking like drained blood on the street, I’ll never stop conceiving ways for my release [Hook] [Verse 3] Like a storm kicking dust up, form a warm blood rush Pouring fear in the heart with all the words that I construct Cause I’m simply an army of one, holdin my own against all of those claiming they’ll harm me for fun I don’t front as if I’m tougher than most but I’m grown ass man so I’m making sure you ain’t coming too close A man that’s constantly at war with himself subconsciously, you gotta be bringing more to put a stop to me Pen is perilous, put it to the pad you’ll need a therapist to prescribe the medicine you need to the cure the disease, anything just to put an end to it, self-esteem I used to never have a shred of it I write my thesis cause I need this to survive, capture my pain since you won’t see it through your eyes Hang onto the words in the verse, there’s no love lost til you lay with the worms in the dirt Waiting for the day the blood cuts off cause I won’t snuff out the flames until my fucking name rubs off Hit you with the kiss of death, didn’t even have to lift a tech, I spit the type of shit to make you grip for breath Word to Jada, I could die now or die later, but I would prefer not to waste the paper Make you taste my anger and face the danger, fuck your praises I ain’t breaking until they hate Xavier [Hook] [Outro] At this point I don’t think there’s anything else left to say So I’mma just leave this shit right here End of story

[Intro] Ah dawg, it's funny It's funny these niggas man Can't stand these niggas dawg, I swear It's aight though Yo What?, yo, uh Yo, yo [Verse 1] Peep the genome, we know you and I ain’t the same nigga Pathetic lame niggas’ll get it Bring the pain quicker than bullet slugs crackin your spine in three places Pull the plug, get slapped outta line til you need braces Flatlined into deep stasis, both hands bloody but I don't leave traces You and your buddies - I erase em That’s my profession, professor X a vile weapon Sickest scientist, there’s no denying this guy’s a blessing straight the devil himself I’m just a vessel for hell cause everywhere that I fucking go my presence is felt Until I make the whole room shiver with fear There’s ain’t no smoke and mirrors here, nigga the picture is clear I’m a psychiatric basket case, my actions make me a quite erratic So relax before your grimy ass is casket based I strike reactive as if I got nothin to live for You're not equipped for what’s in store because my shit’s raw [Hook x2] Time to let the blood spill, let it all flow (let it all flow) Make it so nobody lives to see tomorrow (see tomorrow) Every carcass is drained, all bodies hollow (bodies hollow) Niggas think they’re prepared until they all choke ('til they all choke) [Verse 2] I’ll check you, I said to watch yourself so now you better head to Safety, don’t make me cock the pen again and catch you I bet you I’ve got enough shit in my head to dead you Hit you in your chest, head, and neck, ready to end you Don’t give a fuck if I offend you, I suggest you live it up while you still can Bloodshed causin your skin to rust, I’m too ill man Somebody put my wrists in cuffs to keep me from going nuts Itching just to split your gut, nigga what? Clear some space, open up the flood gates Loud sounds crash around your ear drums like a gun range Possessed with sick prowess, I can’t leave the rest alive I'd rebuild the Twin Towers to wreck em a second time You couldn’t tighten these screws, I’m convinced my soul is missing Remove your aorta and tubes and choke you with em Drop the games you’ll never be able to stop the pain I can’t help but to be drawn to maim just like a moth to flame [Hook x2] [Verse 3] X. Kubrick, not Jesuit but verbally divine Step to this - your martyrdom comes, murder your bloodline I stay in my lane, no patience for snotty little punks I’m full throttle like I had a body in the trunk You won’t beat em, you might as well quit cause you can’t join em No preacher, consult a coroner to get anointed Heed my words just like they all came ripped from scriptures Need to learn the differences between us, get the picture I’m using your own blood to cleanse you of mortal sins Ruthless like Bone Thugs cause only the lord forgives These are the thoughts of a mentally-scarred bastard I stay calloused cause we’re eventually all passing Nothin but tragedy spun into every masterpiece Casualties of mental warfare, vocal battery Don’t be mad at me, I had to be the one to break it to you Sacrifice your life to the dirt like Haitian Vodou I got the darkest blood bleeding from this black heart Redefinition, the new meaning of a black star Like a supernova collapsing the earth’s atmosphere I lose control of myself and reverse your birth back some years [Hook x4] [Outro] Yeah, y'all know what's up X. Kubrick, bringing you back to the dark side of this shit, what's up
