Voice message me about the flowers
Make it sound like it's real
I don't remember
[Joseph Wallace]
Wanna steal love, but it slipped from your sweating palms
Should of earnt love, grafting, like steel work plants
Fear and mentally ill times
Being inculcated by the news
Imma dance, 'til my knee caps pop like shot off at cops
When the knee cap, stop the carotid artery
Like a forcet, forcing the drops
Of the blood flow, to stop in its tracks
Do not make a fool of yourself, tryna cover up, I connect dots
Who lied to your face with a smile like best friends
Weed friends, we'd be better seperated
Like chinese twins, but it risks our hearts
Being chopped down, the centre, like protests
I don't want you to forget
Even though you don't know yet
But in advance, let's show them how to focus
I know you want the boom bap
Put love on the track, like i had to commute back home
Heart beat make stethoscope flinch like
If you don't move back, imma punch through that dome
In my igloo, the moons back
Beautiful sky scape, snow melts like
My emotions roamin' like Marcus Aurelius
On cobble roads, alone in my zone, on my own
Two step, like the riddim, had hot coals
I need to step up to the goals if
Golds, underneath, the belly of the dragon
Imma chase that archetype, then I smoke them bowls
It ain't a punch line if it don't slap
This beat's very disciplined, make you feel 12
With a step dad, strict, like wreck it up
Make the rhyme ride that sound wave, need to surf on the shelves
I been looking at my life, with no words
'Til the harmony, soothes me
Makes me articulate, take just to give a bit
Dead if you don't live with it, life's fucking hard
[Ermhoi]
Acid-rain drops out from the goddess's lips
Didn't they make her up to save us from all their fundamental fears?
I don't want to have any babies
Just for the sake of fulfilling the mission as species
But at night I dream about a child
Running around the field full of colors
Full of colors, full of colors

No caro light
But I lightened up
Fuck a candle light, the moon's bright enough
I never meant to make you fall in love
No I never
But it's out of my gloves
Always in a rush like I'm running late
Agree to meet at 6 then I show up at 8
Bad habits
They make you frustrated
I can tell by just looking at your face
Me and my mates were low lives
Living the high life
I load a thirty 35 and freeze 36 highlights
Store that shit away
You know my memory is shite
I should really try to dump some cargo
Free some space for some new shit that I hold
Real close to my chest like a locket
The shit that held me tight
The shit that held me close
Just like a cross stitch
[Genshu]
Finger on the trigger
Make the sinner shiver
Sweat dripping downs his face made the dinner bitter
Unstable, unable to prevent dissociation
Starting his morning with a "dear mirror"
Laws of attraction and gravity on a beer dipper
Day sipper crowned winner
Cause he a slick bidder
Ex-quitter pictured
Drowned in glitter post-thriller
Definition of a scale tipper figured, huh
1 on 1
Step back
Three
Dub
Swish
Instant come back or rather rollback
Worth more than ten thousand Prozacs
Highlights becoming instant-classic throwbacks, huh
We step it up
Another gust, and surely we mess it up
Belief in our fate being délicat
Only reason behind our will to lace 'em up

Hey yo, this is nice man
I'm more man than in the back but I'm hype man
Before whack rappers who wanna take the mic stand
Leave cats leg less, Pegasus in the sky lands
Hard on the roof top, doo wop I'm housin'
Hits 1, 2, 3, that leave ya man countin'
Too many mole hills, that ended up mountains
Rhymes, the flow out the top just like fountains
Bouncing, get it off the chest like wax strips
Monkey on the back, flips, leaving spines weightless
A free mind state, where no hate lives
But takes and gives, make jams spread, serve ya plates up
Rock paper scissors, no time for the paycuts (oof)
Rooftop chimney blast pagans
Beauty pageant MC's get their mics taken
Baby want the bottle back bottlecap spraying
Walking over bodies there's an other one laying

どこかもどかしい
神経がグチャグチャ
五感も全ておかしい
塩辛塩梅甘辛万歳
口寂しくないエンタメの満載
後ろめたいかい？
食い初め敗退
さーよーいドン
口止め大会
今こそ本領発揮タイム
皆撃退後には残り皆無
享楽的世界の切り取り世帯
浮かぶ前に実現化する願い
苦い 支配 理解
遅れ紫外線
五臓六腑染みる内戦
この忘却の方角
果たして合格
地道に天目指し到着
慌ただしい
目新しい
(堪らない)
我忘れて上下
逆さまシーン

[Hungerhill]
Hip off the old block
I skip over road block
Big fod like I know a lot
All I know is I got
Much more to learn
Took some wrong turns
It's no bother I'm firm
Like the ICF or a jaw that gurns
Chief concern I know mine
Lips stained by old wine
I don't mind it's fine
It's part of my design
Excuse me I'm trying
I'm a brute, I'm defiant
[Joseph Wallace]
It's all fun 'til I smash your party hat
Fuck a bitch I don't be where Cardi at
Lil dag who the fuck you barkin' at
Short man syndrome, goin' hard
Napoleon tear your bone apart
I need a bad bitch like Joan of Arc
No time for a lonely heart
Too many ghosts here, where the army at?
Try calm me down, I want two 16's
Extend the verse and make hubris glean
Dutty synth and I'm too pristine
Intelligent boy with his stupid dreams
Son of a king, I'm so Kublai Kahn
Big up London like who's the don
Who's that boy with the ruthless tongue
Got the roof of my mouth in plumes of smoke

[Julia Shortreed]
Uneven doors are open
Can you hear the wind
Howling another side
Is it the sound of future
Or are you just calling me from the outside?
This cord in my heart tying together
Between you and me
Even we can't see each other
I can breathe with you
I can feel you
Under my skin
[Hungerhill]
Codes to live by
Roads to avoid
Approaching midnight
Start to feel my voice
P-p-pow
P-p-pow
P-p-pow
P-p-palpable
Rogues on ziplines
They have no choice
Just coming from the sky
Everybody feels destroyed
P-p-pow
P-p-pow
P-p-pow
P-p-palpable
Burnt out no disguise
Like a stuffed toy
With a cracking smile
Not a peep not a noise
First part of town I really liked
Healed my loins
Darkness met the light
Started to feel the point
P-p-pow
P-p-pow
P-p-pow
P-p-palpable
Creatures of evil
Creeping round my people
Very bothersome
Makes me wanna run
[Julia Shortreed]
Can you hear me my boy?
How dark how bright is it there?
What kind of the world
Unfolding before your eyes
In exchange for your beauty
I wanna show you the light
I wanna give you my love
Throughout my life
Throughout my life
Throughout my life

Been through mazes and back
Brought tales and traded them for gas
The steps backwards when I advanced
Your voice out of reach when I found balance
Lightening fast the strike came out of nowhere
Acupuncture needles: micro cuts with no pain
Ecstasy only came a few hours late
The ground shook while faded with a loud eighth
Keep faith, the drive behind my leap fades
Streets of daze, my nerve structure disintegrate
I keep my emotions like a fog nested while my cores wrestle
[Hungerhill]
We used to cop a 7 inch from Little Italy
Now we cop a 7 inch and flip it to a beat
Anytime, any spots spit sizzling heat
Cool my gob down after a few 16's
Preferably with white wine from Sicily
But I learnt to use whatever god gives to me
Watch me turn these L’s to V’s for victory
She wanna stick with me because I know what's up
[Joseph Wallace]
Yo
The half hearted party whisper
Sarcastic laugh is sinister
Flow like a garden sprinkler
Walk to her, marching in her
It's half past dark in winter
Shards that splinter
Wasted away but largely thinner
We don't even talk at dinner
Leave this wet wipe parched
A gift from cats, rip apart the liver
Lose touch with reality like
Amputating Dali's finger
Moment from the liquor like I drank a molotov
No need to help me little sister
I just got my collar popped
That tail bone will start to whip ya
Climbing accident make ya body rock
Gollum got the ring
I won't marry her, that's my solemn word
Stood on the precipice allegedly like tell me more
Bit of a cliff hanger on the edge
Like had he leapt or fallen?
Fell apart like leprosy
Check my foreskin
Vulgar but very decadent
Like the next morning

I’m the breeze
I’m the land
I’m more than you could care to understand
All you want is balm for your wounds
You just wait for me to set the tone you need
Can you feel
When I’m down
Do you notice more than
How it’s not ideal
I don’t want to know
Why it’s not the right time
For me to be
All of me
I’m awake
I’m around
Can you meet me where I am this time?
I don’t want to ask anymore
Don’t want to sound cruel but it’s true
You just need some time
I can’t be the sunshine of your life
This is not
Helping anyone
I can only rain on you now
Maybe it’s a start
[Joseph Wallace]
Strollin'
Thoughts thrown out for fun
Puttin'em all like golfing
Bowling some
Hole in one or a hole in
One of my coats letting cold in
She stole my sun
Every time her grey cloud is getting closer
It’s mostly a moment of controlling my tongue
Not to shout for ruining this
Running in the room with my rumours
Ghosts of the young
On an old soul binge
Sticking apparitions to the wall like posters
The post mans flung
My only letter that got a better response
From all the love that I posted
I’m rolling with my gums with my coke fingers
I’m going so numb I can’t feel these emotions
Cookie folding to crumbs
Getting nookies from a jar full of bars
And these gold diggers open it up

[Julia Shortreed]
Lively voice under quiet sand
Put your ears on it gently
Can’t you hear the footsteps
The sound of someone's dancing
Feel the heat from the ground
Fear and curiosity come and goes
If I sink with this golden sand
Could you take me down?
Take me down
Open your heart, quench your thirst
Like swimming in the sky
Fears are vanishing
If you believe in what you can't see
Feel the heat from the ground
Fear and curiosity come and goes
If I sink with this golden sand
Could you take me down?
Take me
Beautifully
Extensively
I feel you’re swallowing me
Feel the heat
Feel the heat to be alive
Feel the heat to be alive

[Genshu]
2013 the first split occurred
From who we thought we were
Straight from the motherland
From a tiny island
Arrived on the new continent
Character building
Let myself sinking
Oil into water not emulsified
Contradictions multiplying
Most of the time
To all of us I would be lying
2016 was a dream
Temporary balance achieved
Learned to speak out more
Yin yang superpowers
Full circle with my ancestors
Connect the dots
2021 the next one occurred
Obliterated to a thousand pieces
Change of state and taste
Happily confused but I’m focused now
Let these puzzle pieces merge; indefinite fashion
Permanent friction like plates causing a chain reaction
Any dreams turns real after one of us speaks loud
Bliss strictly comes when a scream echoes and resounds
Borrowing gospels straight from another mind
This new roster brings stories from another land
Foreign extra
4 tongues and unspoken extra
Double troubled and broken extra
[Joseph Wallace]
I love you but I’m miserable
Feelin’ a little lyrical
Dichotomy of the individual
That means we split in two
It’s like my Sunday ritual
Dimethyltryptamine visuals
Colours be swirlin' sounds are whirring in
I’m feelin' concerned again
But that’s my patience wearing thin
I went away but now I’m here again
Still cruising through the meridians
Trippin', fallin' over when I bruise my shins
Sirens change my mood again
I don’t loose man I usually win
Whispers of an evil djinn
That’s why I’m DJin'
Switch the record they been beggin' him
Bring the fun from the beginning
Been here as part of the furniture
Chop it up as firewood to burn for you
I got fuel like a murderer, murderer, like a murderer
Killer on the beat speak the word for you
The seance of the ghosts start to circle you
Howlin' wind where the curtains are

Rare stones
You'll know 'em when you hold 'em
Boulders upon the shoulders
Abandon any plan for exposure
Bare bones
The needle, damage done
The bandage on the hand when it's over
Justice circumstantial
I'll get you when I get you
Didn't mean to offend you
I hope the news ain't upend you
Or at least I didn't intend to
Apologies I lack sincerity
At least I pretend to
Forgiveness a precious metal
Dust the lesson itself how it won't ever let you settle
The holes in the plot
Start to mechanize
Step inside the exercise
Find another thought to weaponize
Chequered past
Walk upon them chequered tiles
Chart within the science where the method lies
City brooding south of Union Square
Duly noted disrepair
Disregard the keepsakes and souvenirs
Oh the mind's real estate
You ever seen a deeper crate?
[Genshu]
Lone soul roaming through this mad city
Thoughts growing like leaves in a quest for sunlight
Finding holes in these old walls
The streets are singing in verses, trying to reclaim their words
While the ground opened up, threatens to erupt of anger
I still have faith permeating through the sounds I make
They carry me to other places
Different streets with the same silence
Not a shadow in sight
Fast forward to summer the floors are shaking
Under the weight of this euphoric uproar
Bumping elbows knocking glasses off the table
The tone has changed now
Avoiding quick sands
Sheltering under sunbeams
I reminisce and ponder
About the other ways I could have ruined things
And about all lives, sourly lived through
I split in two and strive to bring back the fun from the beginning
No fear whatsoever
Thoughts growing free now making the best, the worst
And the worst, the best
These are contorted notes from my holidays on Earth
