Looking for the answer in it Can’t admit it Drowning in these analytics Bose speaker system, hands of Riddick Chronicle the cancer ridden Crab upon a bicycle The lies and anthem hidden Blue crosses on a shield of the same hue Holding us in triage until the clearance came through Perspective locked inside a pocket box to claim views Motorcycles gutted riders where the crane flew In different ways we hear the same news A ricochet to race through Our lives And yet we remain to make do The mayhem that may move us for the briefest image Capturing shared experience, a thief admitted The thesis of what it means to be is resubmitted Indeed allegiance to the need arisen Grease the grisly as the hands cleanse another well Lines of pontius as the pilate sups from his cup to sell So what the hell One is the loneliest So find me residing between the and 3 and the 4 Pi is what I roam within Not pious but I wander empty roads with ghostly kin Woe be him limping slowly on a broken limb A lack of focus grins every fang a sharpened smudge Family trees in the woodchipper, dogs are barking up A marginal margin of error Worse than rabid bites The victor slurping rancid spoils in his cabin, bright A stab of light going against the grains, agendas change Different words that meant the same, beneath torrential rain A wrench remains, thrown upon the throne and melted inwards Walking slowly in this hellish winter No need to rush, just taking time to soak it in I paint confines when I am motoring So why do I forge the bars with my idle hands Not even sure that I’d survive a glance The recipient of stares withering within Talking toughness, so brittle in his skin Chiseling a grin from the stone faced Pebbles from the pond in an oak vase Field of dreams and the scarecrow’s gone Reveal the fiends who prepare most taunts

Explicit Mass Productions makes bangers, his work was the backbone of VLTR KMBT. When we came up with the idea of building something, there was the present the idea of not wanting to tread previous ground. As I explained to Dan O of FreeMusicEmpire.com , I'd likely rap in a British accent before dusting off my Ghostface impression. Find within here a variety, all pulled together with that flavorful multitooled Explict Mass Productions flair. His beats are like The Big Lebowski rug.
