Had a lot of love...... and a lot of paaaaassssion, if you wondering that's how I made it here, fifth element in actioooooonnnnn.... (x2) With a lack of muscle, and a little under weight I was something like 10 rocking a Chad Muscalade with the panther bearings, thinking someday this stuff'll pay the bills or stuff a duffle bag with a different kind of bills for the time that it kills falling on my ass in the backyard wondering why everyone's been staring.. every manual a balancing act falling on my grinds unaware of how to properly react wiping... blood from my cuts thinking I should probably go back... inside and find a new hobby to have kick with the cartoons.. like I haven't got a whole lot of friends but if I did I bet that's the shit, they'd do so I spit out my fear of falling on the concrete, on the concrete with a lugi, cause a busted elbow and a little gravel in the knees ain't enough to move me, from a dream of kick flipping a stair case i'm aware of your gaze ignore your concern, focus on the angst eyes forward straight face, power in my back foot ..this next ollie's gonna prollly push me off to space you want me to wait, sit think and hesitate but I ain't made space on my plate for those days Had a lot of love...... and a lot of paaaaassssion, if you wondering that's how I made it here, fifth element in actioooooonnnnn.... (x2) check the chisel tip I equip and scribble on anything but the brick in order to live... check the bit of paint, drip more than a little Montana on my kicks from the border of it black background with a confused outline encasing a white inside, it looked like life and felt a little like mine, finding anxiety when questioning how the hell i'm spending all my time left it in parenthesis, like this is how I said it encased it in a cloud like how ever you can get it stealing fat caps from my brothers fat stack beanie on my head never rocked a snap back shaking the RustOleum dreaming of the train tracks waking up in class...where my brain lacks mark up my desk head hooome to relax... hunker down and sketch alone with the splats hissed on the wall, from a can in my fist when i'm pissed at it all and my friends won't call 40 miles west, with a pain my chest skin muscle and bone from the nothing I ingest escaping in the curvature of letters connecting and transforming into arrows, there goes, a- nother page in my sketch book another day of tense looks waiting to pull a marker and leave my mark here Had a lot of love...... and a lot of paaaaassssion, if you wondering that's how I made it here, fifth element in actioooooonnnnn.... (x2)

Now, here is where the dysfunction lays there's a battle ground breathing in your brain war drums, beating on the plane dropping bombs just for the sake of saying we sent you a letter home, did you get it the aftermath of the explosion let us know lord knows we entered the coordinates ourselves there is no ordinance to protect against that which was purposefully dealt, I hope you felt it I hope the radiation burns, I hope the scars last a life time, I hope when you finally die there's no ashes for urns...i hope the quarantine subjects you to a life a solitary ailments and no treatment I hope the TV's in your 20 mile wide radius play this so you see IT...i hope when your electricity runs out and your infected run rampant, your dreams try to forget this but your nightmares preach IT. I hope all the things you cherish are reduced to smoldering smog, I hope you lose everyone you love in the fall out and fog, I hope the toxic oxygen tears up your lungs, I hope you never see the sun I hope you find a mirror, or a puddle clear enough to see what you've become. I hope monster on the outside turns on the victim on your inside I hope you cry for salvation and only find sanctity in your hatred, I hope you become so emotionally vacant, that you eat your daughter alive when I force your paths to cross for the show that it provides I hope you realize that just because you cry for my brother in the sky and pray to our father, doesn't mean that any of us fucking like you we don't have to smite you to spite you we can just watch you...die cause you do that well your damn selves with the capacity for love, you're quick to pick a fist instead never learning from blood already bled you lie, you cheat, you rob, you steal, you murder, you maim, you rape, you never change, given some are just inclined to watch the world burn the rest of you think you're better but you're just too fucking weak to try and put out the fire

With a pebble in his shoe and a limp in his step he walked like it was swagger and made the best of struggle he ain't ask for move forward regardless cause what's a plan for now, he al-ways thought that, we had arms and feet so we can scrap on top of what we stand for cause what's a stance worth with no power to hold it down like a king with a crown on some unstable ground it's bound to crack to beneath you and leave you unfound swallowed an empire over night and left without a sound downtown now i'm lake shore bound state your devoutness I am all about this words of the spoken hurts of the broken bonds of the hopeless problems we cope with somehow we lose focus but I see you down there soon I'll find where the rope is then we grown in the comfort of our own bliss whispers in the wind rumors in the hurricane when what you said then hurt her again the same (count 8) (x2) With an off brand wardrobe and a shape that was her own she walked like it was beauty and made light of names people threw around loosely i'm drawing pencil stabs across the loose leaf I wrote it so hard, that the desk spoke it to me when I surpassed time allotted by like 6 songs the floor boards broke it to me all I aimed to do was inform her that no matter what the world think, I adore her I had seen her in class where I slept in the back I could plainy see no tailor tore her jeans road weathered cloths I wanted to hold her close and go where they won't frightened by their fear but I heightened and saw clear I can fix a lot things no hearts beyond repair careful or you'll miss what's beyond a blank stare i'll only whisper love cause it could be a hurricane if spoken loud enough whispers in the wind rumors in the hurricane when what you said then hurt her again the same (count 8) (x2) i've pained a lot people with the words that I use if I hurt you i'm sorry that's the honest truth just i've been flipping words since I was like 10 so i've been walking circles since I was like 10 though growth is debatable cause I can't see back down the road that I chose and up different path but i'm holding up my hand for all that I believe in and you don't know my name yet so I am not leavin! I love you, for that I don't even need a reason but if I did it's all the lovely things that you do even when no one sees them kindness is rare since respect ain't in style but you invest thought in each one of your decisions and that's a trait I have not seen, in a, while i'm down to work hard ...and do whatever's asked but I won't stepped on while kissing someones ass it's the viking blood and things family taught it's his Marine tags not a damn chain you bought

Skin pulls back, and holds so tight surface imperfections, a bumpy sight discolored knuckles like, you've been in a fight body starts to rumble, you are not alright the first thing to go, is dexterity every movement is manic, and yes that's scary a clenched fist helps, but only just barely if you don't warm up soon, you'll sacrifice clarity and you gon' cold sweat through everything you're wearing see ..the plan to be the man is not uncommon but apparently ..this calamity is damaging the average em- -cee, you are on stage, there is no plan B at this very moment, every negative second of your life, is flashing, leaving a trail of wreckage and if you don't drop your sails, you have missed the message if you don't pull your shoot, then you have missed the message (x2) hesitation is key to use sparingly you chose this road, so daringly (you've got to) stand and give until your last ration or just leave giving into the panic's not the answer, trust me i'm full of cold shakes, and coated in second thoughts but if my throat breaks, then the, message is lost we're the, dimension of fourth, love without the force followed by the forfeit, buried in more shit just know that how you feel, is not how you'll appear but how you appear, isn't always how you felt it'll always start out, painful and foreign I guess what i'm saying, is you can't train for it …..... moment …...... second …..... flashing ......... wreckage ...this........moment, every ....... second ..life ..........flashing, leasving …... wreckage at this very moment, every negative second of your life, is flashing, leaving a trail of wreckage and if you don't drop your sails, you have missed the message if you don't pull your shoot, then you have missed the message ..been running for a while, and out breath but I went from Radioshack mics to Audio Technica grabbed my style like “it's time to develop ya!” smile turning down shit they're selling up up sells an up charge selling bars claiming they can make you a star but a, star implodes and swallows itself whole, a self fulfilling prophecy nick named the ego, passing it we go passionately so, laughing in the cheap row cash is in the pea coat, ash and set fire to the paper with a weak note, rapping through a key hole (like) come and cop a secret, it's true so... you don't need to believe it....

you could meet me down where the sun'll set i'll be singing a song everyone'll forget so off tune you'll awkwardly move in my general direction to make it look like an accidental intersection of our contradicting paths … yeah.. but stack up your emotions like exponents in math so I know your night ain't going half bad you ain't off kilter or rolling of the plan- ned path.. now hold my hand a little something to grasp ain't to much to ask for we can get gone or is that too forward? We don't have to stay long this ain't the type of song to get encored or get the artist asked to stay and play on... they want him off the stage so the mainstream can place a blade in the face of everyone that came cover charge is death that's like paying to LISTEN to cigarettes burn! come and cop cancer but, no puff for you no one has the answer so what's up to you is consciously avoiding those who pretend to numb without materials grown up with silver spoons in they cereals thinking they're fucking miracles …....... that's when Magicarp evolves into Gyrodos and eats the whole load of dumb fucks that slow the boat that we row by the weight of the ego they've been building mountains while we've been moving bridges we don't want to get trapped in their avalanches and buried in their ditches i've been staining paper since reaching double digits when'd you find passion, what is it you did with it tell me all about it I really want to listen tell me all about it I really want to listen (pause) meet me in the yard where the bonfire's on ...every bird that rises from the ash is a bond every glance is thought is under breath but spoken is a whisper of a word is a chant that gets heard is a poem that gets learned is a song... and we all sing along every glance is a thought every thought is under breath but spoken what is spoken is a whisper of a word that word is a chant that gets heard what is heard is a poem that gets learned what is learned is a song …. and we all sing along...like Storm clouds part to show beauti-ful days...(x4)

Sick nasty, get you caught up in a spinoplasty Running around in a ruffled collar screaming Oh that’s RANDY, wait that’s Gordon Must be the Rambsy, I’m driving in a pick up You think I don’t enjoy it some-body RAMS ME ...I have always got a short mid and long range Rifle….HANDY, I do little dandy And stab the beat in It’s six back feet So it limps leaning AT ME, if you were a sponge bob I would gut your Patrick and fuck your SANDY Atilla the killa built a castle of BONES And sat at the top in his femur throne! Suzy is sick here at home, Where the fuck is FEMA goin’? Oh, Now you got me rowing a boat down the wrong river It’s a bit brisk, cold enough to make you shiver Numb it all with alcohol, stick it to your liver Cause you’ll always buy poison if we label liquor You’re an asshole too, but I could shit one bigger I understand a tattoos permanent, listener I never once hinted that I thought it was a sticker Passion bought me time, but for what do you figure Talking shit in a rhyme but, will I pull a trigger But will I say the rhyme, you’re thinking I’ll deliver There’s black man around the corner, he’s a, grave digger That’s his occupation, wait…what Did you think I’d say he’s a slave or a……na I run ya like the Riddler, when I cut you down a sliver Cause a mouse in the maze can’t see the bigger picture And a rat in a trap, is feeling pretty hindered When he hears the cat, and confirms it’s her Game over!

This music grabbed my heart when I was just a little kid so i'ma grab the cartridge out the rap 64 and smash it excuse me ( smash SFX) i've had a slight change of passion but can you blame me? I'm sick of rapping about rapping for the sake of rapping, see no one can stand in that much shit and not puke or pass out from the smell of it ..sick of everybody fronting in they songs like they don't do it for the hell of it ..there's no telling kid.....so it's irrelevant shit talk is cheap, so it shouldn't sell records when it's all you breathe, you ain't reckless... you're scared to reck your bubble, so you copy and you paste 17 of the same songs on your set list the very last thing in the world that that is is impressive ..trying to find a message, that's the benefit, of the doubt that i've generous-ly allowed, to.. live in your favor...but alas...there's no fruit from your labor just loops on your paper...save the oxygen others could use the vapor..you could use a hater with a mean right hook, maybe living crooked good give you a better look, if you're not too shook you might find a book, and like what's in the binding feel so enlightened that at first it was blinding at worst this verse is a poor example of writing at best it's igniting a trail blazing through brain it's amazing and painful at the same time when you realize you're only alive when your falling so keep falling...and standing, taller when you're back up, but back up never, stand down only to learn what you missed by thinking you were too fly be down on the ground like the rest of us I could've guessed it was, a bit too much but i'm sick of side steps, and half truths I just want to be honest with you, that's what gets it done I don't smoke weed, but it's time to be blunt a lot of us are just plain fucking dumb buying into the system and what it wants us to become so when I get stabbed on the train for my pen I ain't gonna blame you, i'm gonna blame them for luring weak minds, to the wrong end of the spectrum, let dumb be dumb in a way that doesn't hurt anyone, but that ain't what they want... so I get, the potential to be robbed by a crack addicted white kid who made more money this morning than I did ( last week) and all I did, was speak for knowledge and live for love, but god fucking damnit I guess that's not enough, now I've got to answer to the bluff of a dumb fuck stuck behind the barrel of a pumped up gun, shell in the chamber he ain't a warm body with a mind and a soul he's a shell of anger, I could yell in danger but who is gonna help, this scared society won't provide for me, anything more than a peripheral view of the scene, a look away and a shuffle along, i'm not their problem my life not worth how far their fear has got them so fuck em, cause i'm not them all I need is what i've got, and what i've got is ten seconds, to empty all my pockets, but by look of him it could be four, he's skipping all odds and even a few evens, believe you me i'm heavy breathin.....having trouble seeing beyond this moment, this is alive and the realest i've felt in the longest time ….. the only providing, me with anything is the one robbing, me for everything (x4 repeating under continuation of verse) the feelings i've felt with the hearts i've melted dealt a little sideways taking back roads instead of highways, habits i've broken led to hide aways, anxieties open minds in unkind ways, a phase i'm hoping will quickly dissipate and give way to greater good this ain't the way, I meant to live, I could do better I should forever, if this ignorant mind with a gun aimed mine would be so kind as to leave me alive

If this is the first time, anyone on Funk Volume Is hearing me on a track, I want this to be a positive Introduction, most of these entries, are gonna Be I’m the shit, and these other rappers aren’t There’s a time and a place for bragging and boasting But I don’t want to focus on the other rappers I want to tell you a story, about my shoes (start beat) My shoes, my shoes My shoes, my shooooooes My shoes, my shooooooes I’ve got a fan base, to match my shit shoes Fresh out the shower, stinking up the booth Rugged and worn, scuffed beaten and torn Forced on the first step like a weak pawn About week away, from that duct tape and glue, had Em five years, so that means they know me better than some of my friends do They’ve weathered every mother fucking Storm that I’ve been through, tasted the venues While I peeped the menu, I’m sorry You’re my soul and my tongue, march like an army Step by step, from dirt to cement Rubber and cloth, made to protect Now it only looks good? Well if all gets scrapped Labeled useless rap, remember one thing I’ve got a lot weight, just laying on my shoulders But that’ll never match, what you’re holding for both of us My shoes, my shoes My shoes, my shooooooes My shoes, my shooooooes I got em for free, and they were jet black Now their looking beat down resembling ash But i don’t want to scrap em and land em in the trash I want em in a case on a stand with a plaque If you’re ready to laugh, then you don’t understand All the times we’ve had, getting good at being bad Running through the alleys hopping fences dodging sentences Carrying me home so I can punctuate my sentences Tried to keep em clean, brushing like a dentist is Then it was all ME! I don’t care how my dependent lives So, I remained oblivious to simple blemishes Until they blossomed into severed stitches on the edges Trimming em like hedges, hiding when I can Cause now they’re not impressive, four years later and I finally learned my lesson, I got for free but They we’re inexpensive, name brand stuff Not always the best shit, I’ve got a lot of friends With a fresh pair of kicks, soon to meet the closet Where all the dead live. Unscuffed untouched un- Torn….never given the chance To love being worn, and show they're support They’re cold like bones, and they warm, carrying you home cold like bones, and they warm, carrying you home My shoes, my shoes My shoes, my shooooooes My shoes, my shooooooes

Insert adlib…this is interfaced Usb to the computer, I’m living in technology If you could see inside of me, you would see a tired beast A product of societies, and, failed lobotomies I’m trippin’ on the state side hopin’ someone proud of me ..i fell into the game time, and collapsed the faction Shaking the foundation with every gram of passion Changing what you thinkin’ in just a simple passin’ I’m just a simple man, receiving the call for action Matter a fact, a man inside a fire breathing dragon Grabbing puppet strings draggin’ claws along the path when When style, and substance, were surpassed by fashion Everyone in the aisle grabbed an, oxygen mask and Everybody else at windows scratching and gasping This is not a drill, this plane is crashing You could see in the reaction of more than half the staff since This is not a drill, this plane is crashing The engine has detached, the wings are in fragments This is not a drill, this plane is crashing The moment feels massive, my body is thrashin’ This is not a drill, this plane is crashing The pilot passed out, soon as he could see the ground This is not drill, this plane is going down ….. the women in the front aisle, holdin’ her son been calling for a while but, God ain’t gonna come I’m reaching cross the seat tryin’ to keep my girl calm But what a fucking dream for me to be stirred from I’m a little bit distracted it had to mean to something The last moments of madness and manic are an eruption I’m feelin’ hot enough to implode into combustion Man what I would give to be on a couch doing nothing …..doing nothing….. I’ve got a letter for my nephew I ain’t had time to write At least I’m flying next to, the love of my life But this the longest fall feel like a serrated knife The beauty in it all, I’m reminded I’m reminded I’m a- Live… I’m reminded I’m reminded I’m a- Live… I’m reminded I’m reminded I’m a- Live… I’m reminded I’m reminded I’m a- Bout to die…you see…. This is not a drill, this plane is crashing You could see in the reaction of more than half the staff since This is not a drill, this plane is crashing The engine has detached, the wings are in fragments This is not a drill, this plane is crashing The moment feels massive, my body is thrashin’ This is not a drill, this plane is crashing The pilot passed out, soon as he could see the ground This is not drill, this plane is going down ….. Feels like my father letting down the see saw …There’s no turbulence in free fall (x3) I kiss my girl on head with her face in my chest I said it’s okay baby, it’s just time to rest Put my hand on the glass, gave God another chance And he said…….nothing…. Crash…

Split spine twisted and dripping Lysergic Can’t find the attention to see if I’m nervous Too high to see behind the smile on my surface Too fly to see my dirt styles on purpose Lift the draw bridge if ya scratching my curtains Give it all your caution, traction not certain Patches of black ice and cross roads of serpents Trapped in the fast life like THAT grows the person But I guess that’s life I might well write about it I got the rappin-itis so I might be right about it But I’m rabid, and I might just, come off as right around it Call it passion, of the mic cause, I like the way it sounded I was, gonna get high but some body dropped the acid I was, supposed to die but the, venom was passin’ I was, just gonna go lie but found honesty in rapping I was sittin’ down to write but blacked out what happened

about

'2013 Didn't Make The Cut' is exactly as it sounds, the tracks that weren't good enough to be professionally mixed. They got put on the back burner until I decided, "Why not mix them to be listenable, and release them as bonus material?" So that's exactly what I've done. Some of them were already released at some point, but most of them are brand fuckin' new to you. So enjoy, because not everything that Didn't Make The Cut is bad.
