Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
- Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
- Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
Best wishes to your moms, molotovs to your friends
City's burning up, (Hey!)
Flames rain down, can't put it out, can't seem to breathe,
City's burning up, (Hey!)
Flames rain down, not enough mics, too many emcees.
-- Overload, prospective overlord,
Chasing, down the, sick and slow, toss em overboard,
-- Evil to my frozen core,
Both gotta die, but I'll see that you will go before,
-- Speak like the code is Morse,
Cross a border and you'll see that the G.O.A.T is North,
-- Wrapped in a Maple Leaf,
Baked out my tree in International Bakery,
Classic, you're trash, you've been lapped if you're racing me,
I laugh at you half-wits who have fits replacing me,
You gassed, just a match flick from ash, if you're facing me,
I'll eat you, I say grace, and they see the great in me.
Burning up, (Hey!)
Flames rain down, can't put it out, can't seem to breathe,
City's burning up, (Hey!)
Flames rain down, not enough mics, too many emcees.
-- Got em jittery in Meth City,
Destiny, even got the junkies wishing death to me,
-City going deaf to me,
Probably cuz the scene think I left, cuz the city's seeing less of me,
Scene's falling off, think of leprosy, - and I've invested me,
So, -I do it for the equity,
Long term, growth, baked when my city burn,
Juana lead the way, screamin' "long live, dope"...
(Gang)
LONG LIVE, DOPE, LONG LIVE DOPE
LONG LIVE, DOPE, LONG LIVE DOPE
City's burning up, (Hey!)
Flames rain down, can't put it out, can't seem to breathe,
City's burning up, (Hey!)
Flames rain down, not enough mics, too many emcees.
Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
- Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
- Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
Best wishes to your moms, molotovs to your friends
City's burning up, - don't even be concerned with us,
-We ain't concerned with you, or anything concerning you,
-Unenlightened, your discourse is pitchforks,
Y'all get scorched, then bitch more, I rip dorks, then ditch corpse,
Waterlogged, just so the picture distort,
The crickets even quit because you pricks are piss-poor,
-- I'd rather you die than spit more,
-- It's too much to sit for,
And I cannot stand by, my legs been too shaky,
That's why I picked this river, this shore,
How long will you drift for? Longer than I give a shit for,
A monster inside, I reside not on this orb,
I'm not of this Earth, here to sack and plunder,
Just trying to get what I can, -Galactus hungers.
Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
- Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
- Don't get dropped off in the Thames,
Best wishes to your moms, molotovs to your friends
City's burning up, (Hey!)
Flames rain down, can't put it out, can't seem to breathe,
City's burning up, (Hey!)
Flames rain down, not enough mics, too many emcees.
I'm trying to play my part, make it art again,
Burn it down, down, down start again(X4)

Bodies in the water,
It isn't in your head,
We play with the volume,
Til we could raise the dead,
No one wants to beef with the king, but for the crown
My skeletons are marching me down, marching me down,
My city full of zombies now, No-o-o-o,
My city full of zombies now, Whoa-o-o-o
Everyone a junkie now, it seems like,
Everybody probably a fiend,
Everybody puffin' on a crack pipe,
Everybody living in a dream,
Everybody so woke now,
Everybody so broke down,
It makes no sense, to me,
No, it makes no sense, to me.
Supernatural selection, hey,
I played my part in this,
Supernatural selection, hey,
You could say I started this.
Bodies in the water,
It isn't in your head,
We play with the volume,
Til we could raise the dead,
No one wants to beef with the king, but for the crown
My skeletons are marching me down, marching me down,
My city full of zombies now, No-o-o-o,
My city full of zombies now, Whoa-o-o-o
-Zoned out, twitching down the sidewalk,
Dancing to a tune nobody played, word to eyeshot,
Or to bloodshot, or blood disease,
Needles in the parking lot, or in the park, disgustingly,
- Makes you wonder what we do with what we took,
My city beautiful, if you don't really look,
Zombies everywhere, different kinds, nobody is shook,
Put it in the head, right back to the hook, uh.
Bodies in the water,
It isn't in your head,
We play with the volume,
Til we could raise the dead,
No one wants to beef with the king, but for the crown
My skeletons are marching me down, marching me down,
My city full of zombies now, No-o-o-o,
My city full of zombies now, Whoa-o-o-o
- Y'all doing drugs like it was something new,
You are not woke, I have lost hope you are coming to,
- Decapitate yourself, with crap you take yourself,
- Actually hate yourself, you actually hate yourself,
-- Everyone around you suffers but you,
-The only thing you know, is no one trust you,
-- And it hurts me, cuz I made you,
Euphoria, the feeling that I gave you.

Czar (Feat. LOLA)

-Shut the lights off, -let the sun set,
-Turn the music up, are we having fun yet?
-We ain't started, so I guess that we ain't done yet,
Welcome to my party, I ain't only doing one set,
There ain't no melody, there ain't no harmony
- - There isn't any harming me
I become, something else, let the sun, go down,
After, after dark, after, after dark
- It's like a Gremlins thing, just gimme gin in shots,
Next thing you know, I'm asking you if you're in or not,
Started the night out, off with a blackout,
What night's complete without a stop at a crackhouse?
You can't compete, just keep it locked, til I spazz out,
I'm in a happy place, but I took the sad route,
Party for, one, I been rocking all night,
A couple people, crashed, let 'em stay, they alright,
I been getting lit though, I ain't talking bar lights,
-Spitting starlight, a czar, with a charred mic,
Crooked crowned king, the crooks have crowned, king,
I make a block hot, like I cooked the ground, king,
Absence of melody is just a sound thing,
Work in harmony with nothing, solitude is grounding,
So, mic check, mic check, how it's sounding?
Another knockout, no ref, who's counting?
-Shut the lights off, -let the sun set,
-Turn the music up, are we having fun yet?
-We ain't started, so I guess that we ain't done yet,
Welcome to my party, I ain't only doing one set,
There ain't no melody, there ain't no harmony
- - There isn't any harming me
I become, something else, let the sun, go down,
After, after dark, after, after dark
Tell the king and all the pheasants in the kingdom I'm coming,
Ring a ding, callin' a ring a wing,
These bitches been chicken heads since christening,
This is a very cherry, and merry mission I'm committed in,
Rap off, gangster’s wit' they strap off, click-clack,
Ass fart, -Wait, what? -You know, asphalt,
It’s yo asses fault, I’m attacking Aladdin, with the Genie’s skull,
Trash talk, I'm trashing em all, blast off, hurry up its last call,
Nic! Yo Nic! You're dripping mac sauce, like, everywhere dawg,
And these chicken nuggets got me McLovin' these thots
Like, give me minute to respond, I'm critically clinically depressed,
Literally, I’m illiterate, but legit, written skits of finesse,
Riddle me ridiculous, but I wont, ridicule your innocence,
Gut-twist, thirst quenched, y'all re-birthed a circus,
Tech nine type circuits, crack pipes, fast knives
Some black, some white, house party full of, sick seeds,
Mixed breeds, even paper chasers, in a, pipe dream,
After dark, catch me howling at the moon bitch,
Josh Wolfe, howling at the moon bitch,
Lost my clothes dancing with the devil, throw some joggers , over-sized sweater on,
They sweaty palms, spaghetti tongue, they unresponsive Hattr,
Drop them in a tomb, and we dip, we not responsible for this,
I'm cut throat, like Travolta in swordfish,
We mourn quick, yo, ya`ll were warned before this...
-Shut the lights off, -let the sun set,
-Turn the music up, are we having fun yet?
-We ain't started, so I guess that we ain't done yet,
Welcome to my party, I ain't only doing one set,
There ain't no melody, there ain't no harmony
- - There isn't any harming me
I become, something else, let the sun, go down,
After, after dark, after, after dark

(Hook)
Scrap metal, guess the garbage attracts me,
I been, running music, been the king of the track meet,
- King of the trash heap, I'm God of the garbage pile,
Got up cuz golly this gobbledygook is garbled now,
- Everywhere it's zombies and skeletons,
- Choke it down, like a swan eating pelicans,
Amphetamine, dreams, these the dudes you follow?
I should sip lean, blow up and die before tomorrow, uh,
-Brain's fucked, I got the MRI to prove it,
My stomach and my legs are fucked, but y'all are looking useless?
- Embarrassing, all my thoughts disparaging,
- Put em on paraffin, comparisons, just perish 'em,
The crown bring the zombies out, not just in my hometown,
Game is Game of Thrones now, fight to put your phones down,
Fight to get your buzz up, -pour a little more codeine,
For every ear you poison, I'ma drink to your O.D.
Let the bodies fall, let the bodies rise again,
Headshots or headshots or nothin,
Let the bodies fall, let the bodies rise again,
Headshots or headshots or nothin,
Skeletons in the closet, bodies you don't bury,
Zombies are out there, but oddly they don't scare me,
Surrounded by the dead and the undead, I see em all,
I see em all, I see em all,
Surrounded by the dead and the undead, I see em all,
I see em all, I see em all,
- And all I ever did was never help these clowns,
I stole the crown to wear it, they stole it melt it down.
Time waits for no man, so,
YOLO be the slogan while I'm strolling over slow jams .
Homeland filled with ho mans who do nothing except hold hands,
Or hold xans, game need a reprogram.
Too many spectres and spectators not enough innovators,
Too many posers in the fast lane get pulled over huh
You trapping this safe haven needs a renovation,
This dreaded nation needs a restoration,
Dawn of the living dead-man-walking,
So I hopped up out my bed and let my lead do the talking,
Exercise in caution when my temper rise I'm scorching,
Rid the demons, you get exorcised,
I got 47 reasons to proceed in a new genocide,
Don’t make me put the pen aside,
Disorderly conduct to abnormalities formed in my construct,
If a nigga snap back we finna off his cap,
If you don’t wanna another set back, fuck off with dat,
Better step back, I see these ghouls cunts seated in greed,
You tunnel visioned try'na be rich, the money got you bewitched,
Without it you cant be shit, and still through my demented doors,
All I see are Dementors , split ya wig with just a fragment of my wits
You wicked witches witness this, with my hematite and evil eye in grip,
I wont slip till you cease to exist.
My older brother said don’t hang around them niggas that’s just decent , You know them niggas that'll only help you descend. X2...
Skeletons in the closet, bodies you don't bury,
Zombies are out there, but oddly they don't scare me,
Surrounded by the dead and the undead, I see em all,
I see em all, I see em all,
Surrounded by the dead and the undead, I see em all,
I see em all, I see em all,
- And all I ever did was never help these clowns,
I stole the crown to wear it, they stole it melt it down.

(Chorus)
-The thing is, I'm already gassed up,
Ahead of my time, now I'm just playing catch up,
- I've seen what the world will become,
Went to space and I lied about where I am from,
Went from free-verse to rehearsed, reversed and re-birthed,
Evolved, undeterred, that led me to leave Earth,
Walk among stars, that's a double entendre,
Subtly monstrous, trouble my genre,
- Hip-hop been at sea in a hail storm,
-Careworn, the sails torn, by sales porn,
Sales mourned, -paddles broke, the battles jokes
Look at the rappers, go overdose and be mad awoke,
We get so high, we lose the ground,
We get so high, the clouds blow down,
We will not go til the meter's on max,
Cuz when we go, we might not come back, uh.
-You only gotta live for today, because we living today, and,
Today's yesterday's future,
Together we can find our place,
Come fly with me through space, hey,
-- We just need some,
-- Some rocket fuel,
-- Some rocket fuel
-- Some rocket fuel.
- - Set the world on fire,
-- We will, we will be fine,
- - Set the world on fire,
-- Leave it, leave it behind
-It's an afterthought, to an astronaut,
Rear-view, when we blasting off,
-Mirror-view, of a past forgot,
Pained by your chains? You can cast 'em off,
- About a minute and we fly to the heavens,
And if anybody's home, we can dap the Gods,
On some holy shit, like I crapped a cross,
-End of my rope, last scraps of floss,
- Dumb high, well-above sunrise,
-Chains untied, life-change, one ride,
- Wanna take a chance? Or you gun-shy?
Uh, gotta speak up don't get tongue-tied.
-You only gotta live for today, because we living today, and,
Today's yesterday's future,
Together we can find our place,
Come fly with me through space, hey,
-- We just need some,
-- Some rocket fuel,
-- Some rocket fuel
-- Some rocket fuel.
I'm on a world where depravity echoes,
So I'ma scream "me too", til gravity let go,
-I spit savagely, thank your planet for having me,
Done. Like a Roman, throw it all away, Greco,
Flowing like water, just can it, like pop,
--Tragically Hip, when I planet hop,
Canna-God, Josh Wolfe, man, plant and a dog,
Sick of living digital, old-school as analog,
- Be admired, or be mired;
Get your brain rewired, or plain retire,
If you only got a plane, let your plane reach higher,
If your heights just plains, that's the pain of tires,
Stay up, the gray up, but so is the light source,
Elevate, celebrate, enhance your life force,
Light torch, put it on the right course, fly away,
Money on the right horse, site scorched, time to fade.
-You only gotta live for today, because we living today, and,
Today's yesterday's future,
Together we can find our place,
Come fly with me through space, hey,
-- We just need some,
-- Some rocket fuel,
-- Some rocket fuel
-- Some rocket fuel.
- - Set the world on fire,
-- We will, we will be fine,
- - Set the world on fire,
-- Leave it, leave it behind
- - Set the world on fire,
-- We will, we will be fine,
- - Set the world on fire,
-- Leave it, leave it behind

- -Shine bright as the sun,
Shine bright as a galaxy,
- -Go off like a gun,
Make 'em question your malady,
-- Everybody's crazy,
I think so, I think so,
-- Everybody's lost,
I think so, I think so.
- - I mean, I'm pretty sure,
--Uh, this one for the softies, kitty fur,
-- Shout out to the spitters in my city first,
- And shout out to the really down and really hurt.
Blind 'em, bet they see you shining now,
Keep grinding, over time you grind them down,
The secret to success is in how well you listen,
So listen, the world is yours, don't let 'em tell you different,
- - You gotta live your life on your own terms,
Cuz working every day's just a slow burn,
We driving down a highway with no turns,
Headed for a crash, cuz nobody here is sober.
- My homie tells me "fix your crown", it really works,
We really royal, I need diabetes off my just desserts,
- Cause nothing's sweet, bland out in these dusty streets,
Lost, -ain't seen a hand-out pan out, still, it's lucky me,
- -Shine bright as the sun,
Shine bright as a galaxy,
- -Go off like a gun,
Make 'em question your malady,
-- Everybody's crazy,
I think so, I think so,
-- Everybody's lost,
I think so, I think so.
-I hear you're woke, so what's your illness?
Are you crying in the shower? Are you screaming in the stillness? What's wrong with you?
-- There's beauty in our differences, this song's for you,
- The pain just help the strong to move beyond our youth,
-Uh, tragedy just has to be,
That could be me, - just stuck inside my halfery, or actually,
Feels like I could just explode, feel like I could just go off,
Feels like I am just so nuts, feel like I am just so lost,
- The light stays bursting from you,
Keep on moving forward, cuz you get no undo's,
You get no redo's, and that's not sad news,
We've all got want-to's, we've all had had-to's,
Money down the well, or else you wishing on a night light,
-If this a snapshot in time, make it lifelike,
Your shine make you bright-bright, I think so, I think so,
My think-box like ink blots, I miss shots and sink shots, I...
- -Shine bright as the sun,
Shine bright as a galaxy,
- -Go off like a gun,
Make 'em question your malady,
-- Everybody's crazy,
I think so, I think so,
-- Everybody's lost,
I think so, I think so.
-- Everybody's crazy,
I think so, I think so,
-- Everybody's lost,
I think so, I think so.
