[Verse 1: MF Grimm]
Fuck ‘em all, getting life for my felonies
Kicking rhymes in the max A, lyrics get my tier threes
Contracts on me, dead some want me
They can’t kill me, but, still, they hunt me, spirits
Dance around my bed. Some protect me, some haunt me
Voices in my head, they don’t stop talking
A new to time travel, through dreams I’m walking
I kill telepathically, foes I’m stalking
Speak in native tongue, interpretation awkwardly
Although the eagle’s bald, America is hawking me
Many are called, but few are chosen
Plenty have fell, but few have risen
Been through wars, and, still, I’m breathing
Incarcerated for a while, but now out of prison
The police on pay just to watch me, but jealous
Motherfuckers do this shit for free—so much hate around me

[Hook: Bashton the Invizabul Mang]
Move forward, change life, game tight, travel
Speeds of light. We got keys to release the trife
Through speech, we relieve the strife, send these
Kites more precious than ice. You gonna hear us though

[Verse 2: Kurious]
Ride your dreams out, the new way of traveling
Despite all the rough terrain, sailing like a javelin
At night, he composes like Mozart
Same time, warrior fighting with a broke heart
I’ll put that on my soul. May your soul forever live in Hell
For mercy so pure. You’re forgiven—just forgive yourself
Wonder, “Can we handle this?” Jesus Christ Nazareth
M.I.C. scientist—watch how we dismantle death
This the wake up. Step back, take a good look
A higher learning that’s way beyond a good book
Certain youngsters, it’s a shame how motion, styles are stolen
If my man ain’t walking right now, I ain’t either—how we rolling?
(How we rolling?) On the crack of Kurious, chief and captain
GM Grimm general. This is real, there’s no acting
Without no alibi, bugging off this natural high
What is true from the heart enough to make a statue cry

[Hook: Bashton the Invizabul Mang]
Move forward, change life, game tight, travel
Speeds of light. We got keys to release the trife
Through speech, we relieve the strife, send these
Kites more precious than ice. You gonna hear us though

[Verse 3: Lord Smog (AKA Lord Scotch 79 / KEO X-Men)]
400 years, built tombs with Egyptians
Engraved my inscriptions, encoded encryptions
My diction’s prolific while yours is prosaic
I’ll smash your tablet, built the mosaic
Wrote half my rhymes in ancient Aramaics
So only the highest scholars could catch it when it say it. Other
Half ancient Sanskrit—fuck, could they stand it?
Fifty-two cans hit, destroy your mass transit
The ink bandit back from Samuel Underberg
Supermarket purple diluted with the Thunderbirds
Straining through the felt, it penetrates the membranes
Spit it, leave a phlegm stain, slanging on your M Train
Traveling

[Hook: Bashton the Invizabul Mang] (x2)
Move forward, change life, game tight, travel
Speeds of light. We got keys to release the trife
Through speech, we relieve the strife, send these
Kites more precious than ice. You gonna hear us though
