art.is.zen.

Melodies played in symphonic rhythms

The beauty of the art spread with a mission

We need to familiarize with the system

Or risk losing our eternal freedom

It's sad to see, apathetic children

Fucking up as the next generation

We need to resolve the situation

Or risk ruining your constitution

Education is much more than just tuition

Learning is not just regurgitation

Of mandatory sentences in lessons

We'll risk these bodily mechanisms

If we don't relax the stress and tension

Life cannot be simplified to equations

Not to mention, they're missing on the actions

Enjoy this second, or risk losing the moment

Love and sex, damn, what a mix and match

God created this bond we cannot detach

Why is love a sin and lust a sinful act

Fucking is only human and that's a fact

If I love a girl, I will love her everything

Bottom to top, top to bottom, everything

If I love her soul, I will love her skin

If lust is a sin, we're all products of sins

Even the test-tube babies are not spared

Do we really need you to share our air?

Nah I'm just playin', the world is all fair

Because to everyone else life is not fair

So whatever reason you're in this life for

Choose your own destiny, this life is yours

The door is open but you've gotta enter

You are the enemy you've gotta better

Untravelled terriroties

She started breathing even before I was in the womb
Got to the age I started reading, she was in the tomb
And then there was all this talk about her revivin'
From the underground down, they never stopped believin'
That one day she would resuscitate and come back greater
Meanwhile the media potrayed the, lime-lighters as saviours
The groundbreakers never stayed outside the picture
Meanwhile the angry and the money rappers were head-liners
Grammy's whack rappers, pretending to be dragon slayers
I'll kill you motherfuckers and your gimmicks, what say ya!
Recyling Asian jokes on incoming Asian rappers
Typical Americans and the rest of the world, fuckers!
Meanwhile I was tryin' to understand the term Hip Hop
Designin' rhymes in limited times, I didn't stop
Dreamin' about grippin' the mic in one hand, just rappin'
Spreadin' the love and the art in different directions

[Hook]
Hip Hop.. is alive again! X 4

Twenty ten was the year I thought I've hit the wall
Dream in shatters, I thought I'd never make another song
Doubters were laughin' at our immaturish dreams
It seemed only two other men were standing in my team
This whole fuckin' hip hop dream? It all seemed distant
Who would support local music coming from an Asian?
So, instead, I stopped playing the race card like Shigga Shay
That ain't never gonna work with those weak ass word plays
Fuck what the world has to say, this is what I have to say:
You motherfuckers cannot feel me, you cannot kill me
I'm bringing Hip Hop to untravelled territories
The truth to the light is shinin' brightly for you to see
If you thought Hip Hop was dead, think twice and think again
Her heart is beating and poundin' in the prides of Asians
This is the home to the world's greatest populations
Hip Hop is reborn in this region, you just have to listen!

[Hook]
Hip Hop.. is alive again! X 4

your struggle. my struggle.

Felt I've been letting myself down for a while.

And the swollen eyes and face and the cracked lips... and the headache.. isn't helping.

This ain't no love song, but..

These bad habits are working up again

Think I need a course on life management

I'm in a mess and nothing else you say make things better

Feel like a thrash, I just felt I had to write this fucking letter

I never envisioned things to turn out the way it did

I never knew I might live and go on to regret it

It started with innocent words that sounded absurd

But nowadays I gotta stay alert with every single word

Like the determinant factor, the guardian of death

It is lives I've stolen, so I am the culprit of theft

Please stop making yourself look like the victim alright

You're not the only one who suffers in them lonely nights

You need act right, while I need to learn to rap tight

There's this thing that's avoiding me, and that's the will to fight

But I will fight even if I've been losing this battle

Fuck handles, I'd still cling on this dream amid the struggle

what kind of love is this?

...it's been a hell of a emotional turbulence
a week before i was happy and all i feel now is sadness
my soul had been filled like a half-filled glass of water
took a sip, and right now there's nothing left in here, it's sad in here
it's mad in here, feel the loneliness in the atmosphere
saw your tears, but u know i was crying too, inside here
you couldn't hear, 'cause my heart was sobbing quietly
all this life i've always tried to live my life righteously
but you couldn't see, how time's gotten the best out of me
i used to be, the man who spoke and wrote confidently
till i figured, i've yet to figure out this whole ropes thing
you're the only one who queues up to hear me sing
and i was happy and exuberant, in bundles of joy
they can try to hurt me but i'm clearing these hurdles of ploy
damn, i don't know what she sees in me, but very clearly
she dotes on me and in return i love her even more dearly..

iphone notebook 250411

Fuck airports and airplanes, fuck these runways

Reminds me of the pain, when you're off to a different place

Life is a race with the rush of pain when you're off the pace

Somebody needs to tell me the way out of this maze

I try to disguise the shit that hurts with this happy face

'cause it's in these moments of silence when I sought solace

I would have bought this place if I had the money

But I don't, 'cause I know money makes a man act funny

I hope to be free and that one day I be something big

However, the evidence I have is weak, it is bleak

But I ain't affected, like those North Koreans deflected

Livin' in nightmares but that's not scarin' me

I've had my share of misfortunes but that's not scarrin' me

They're scared of me, I might just be revolutionary

That's the reason they censor my lyrics and my music

It just happens I answer the critics and coffee shop, bitch!

Risky business!

The world is passing me by, but I ain't movin'

My friends and my enemies have left me, but I ain't movin'

They've got their own lives to meddle and be busy about

While I was still stuck here in this lab thinkin' of a way out

This world right here is addicted to speed that we don't need

That's the reason why these kids are growing like weed

Reminiscing about the old days, damn I do feel old

Those days were great, but since then the days have been real cold

I've been told, that the straight aces will get you somewhere

But meanwhile I see straight faces spreading everywhere

I think I have a reason to be scared of death to death

Tweelaophobia when I find my balance has nothin' left

But there's still a long way to go, there's still places to go

Lifes mazes to blindly follow and life races to blow

They say stick to the status quo but I say fuck it

If life is a chance then it's a risk I'm willing to take it

drained

Drained from the energies sapped from the inner soul

He can't think straight without a purpose or a goal

Braggin' about his talents and dreams in broad day light

But it still remains that dream he dreamed at night

Nobody shares the same plight or that Asian pride

And the truth is the only thing they cannot hide

Victorious between the battle of persuasion

Standing tall among caucasians, standing for asians

Playing down the race card in every rhyme he writes

Silently he tries to hide the mind's internal fights

At times trying to sound white, maybe black

Amid the identity crisis he draws constant flak

It's him against the stigma of the status quo

Doesn't want to battle or write the dopest quotes

But always proud of every rhyme he's written and wrote

But gotta stay humble while learning these ropes

Hogging on to that one dream behind the screen

That's the only one thing he learnt since aged sixteen

And this typical dream is typical except one thing

This guy's really got material in the shit's he's writing

that's (not) it.

and shit gets more and more tiring with every week

my hands are locked up in chains like a repeat convict

neo-colonialism pushin' me to the brinks of breakdown

grey hairs threatenin' with single blinks and fake smiles

clowns moving from town to town, industry meltdown

sounding profound, the saddist inverting their frowns

convinced happiness is within the reach of that hundred pounds

i'm just a fish like the rest of you, i'm just lurkin' around

tryin' to remember who I used to be, what my dream was

but too many distractions try to strike me off course

and of course i wanted to be somebody useful

except i never wanted to be used as a tool

too many jobs offering you low flat wages

but i know i'm worth more than that shitty ass wages

i try to get pass the stages, try to break these cages

this is just one life chapter as i flip thru these pages..

seal the fuckin' contract, dude!

you know you've been side-tracked awhile.. it's like selling your soul away for this fuckin' contract man.

the difference is, you know you've only pawned it away.. you're gonna get it back soon enough.

just grit ur teeth and bear thru' these 2 weeks.. and you're all gonna find a way out.

eventually.

but time waits for no man..

you ain't getting nothing but older, so HURRY THE FUCK UP before you lose the moment.
