…>Often I gambled on life,
…>Sampled a slice amplified
….Handled Advice
...Wrapping my hands around mics
Chopping Precise as a knife
Botched up in price
So >I, took a walk like a hike
When problems would pop up and spike?
…>Solved em’ despite
…>Answers >Not >knowing the right
Just glove up and go in the fight
…>Like minds
...Simulation >Fa the prime time
>Out of Mine?
>Sending Information through the pipeline
And I find
Motivation combined >With the >right guide,
Could break a whole Wave into a Pint sized…
Issue
Getting there seems blissful
>Wear, >a Parachute
Be Careful not to misuse
Enthused
Cuz You found a Pair of big shoes
>Real boost
But they got some tears and they fit loose?
…>Succeed on purpose and win
Coming back like it’s a murder revenge
For hurting a friend?
A Flirt wit’ Disaster
She grinned?
Asked If I’m working again?
Yes!,
>I’ve Got my tuxedo and vest
Knives on the set?
>Come From being a chef?
The cutlery
Cuts out the fuckery
>Trimmins’ I chuck em’
Like rubbish then bleed out the rest!
…>There might be a version of ME
>Where my future was slightly uncertain
Used like a tool
A mule and a fool?,
Sutured the wounds >so my >body wouldn’t worsen
…>Returned a new person
HI plus AI immersion
On Display, I’ve EMERGED from an EARN
Buried concerns, all my worries and BUR-DENS!
…>Pydas smash the verse
Strong enough to outlast a gamma burst
Use it as a fuel
I’m a man of thirst
A NEW, evolution
That you can’t reverse
...As I planet search
Slicing up samples in NASA merch
>Paradise in a culture
Past the PURGE,
…>Vultures of prey on the branches perched
…>Feel that I’m limitless
And I’ve been given this Gift
For the Grimmest of livin’
>The missions’ One Hundred Percented,
All my Attention is centered
Abundance in minutes,
…>Da blunders are endless
>Gotta be willing to Hunt
In the jungle or thickness
>No luck being timid or skiddish
Run and compete with the fearless and you’ll see the finish
…>CLEARLY!,
>No option to FAIL
Or reaching it NEARLY
Your Eyes gonna swell,
Get itchy and teary
Old Life I can tell
I’m Missing it DEARLY
...>Felt A little bit leery
Of pulling the plug,
I’m testing my theory
Of fully debugging myself
I wonder what Else
Would help
When I buffer severely

IRREPLACEABLE,
But YET in SURPLUS...

In CONTROL of my BURNT BRUNCH

Hoax
From the Pydas bakery, varieties of flavors
From the spicy to the savory, fired up and served tastefully
Prepared from the finest ingredients, timeless
Johnny droppin' all kinda science, walkin on the assignment
Never out of practice, so you couldn't counteract this
Deeply profound assassins, focused on the fact patterns
Calculate the maths and reduce 'em down to fractions
Rearrange the masses, freeze the frame read the captions
Married to principles with the discipline to stick to 'em
The foolish fall flat I move students through the curriculum
A man to always stand opposed to candy coated simpletons
& syntax to flip enthusiasm from indifference
Check what I'm averagin' it's Rick Rude ravishing
Hit you with the passion and I smash 'em with the acumen
For the next crop of chefs with the fresh chops
layin' the groundwork to wreck shop

You can catch me eatin beats/beets in Iyosi Pydas Deli
Passive cheddar, lecture bread to entice
Beef off the secret menu, everything extra spicy
Try to scare me when really we grillin bear meat,
I had all our recipes buried in cemeteries,
...You stuck in the pickle, we brought the whole dill
Risk or no thrill
Our lines are 1 billion scoville
Hold still
You aint goin nowhere
You’re to be served
Upon a plate of lies with no fare
Your minds stuck -> politickin’ -> with wine buffs
While you can only find us bakin up toasty pye krust
...exhume the bakery’s aroma
Taking you flavors you’d never taste if you didn’t know us
...Multiple fusions spring to mind
Dishes that could be lit with the ingredients of rhyme

I’m guillotine-ing, so bring a king in, his ears are ringing...
….Sterling Archer, also partial to wet work
Scalping foes & funds till I’m at peace with my net worth
>Rhymebook: Clark Ashton this song’s only an excerpt...
...Professor level, Small-Fry’s aren’t in the same debate
From cuttin meat on plates to beats & breaks
They seem to hate...
So I don’t do it for love,
But for Heathen’s sake… flee my wake...
Veins quickly drain at this bleeding rate...
Maybe I’m crazy or sane who would I be to say?...
Please berate... I’m as lethal as Green Berets
...fling grenades & await shrapnel to eat your face...
Heed the taste…
that’s what I like to feed to snakes...
Deplete to waste any artist that cannot keep the pace...
Kizzle’s the actual Emcee,
>you can’t compete with greats...
>Men In Black
We’re gone before the amnesia breaks
>You’re playing a game but never bothered to read the stakes...
In our airlock… probably gettin spaced
A species you’ll never find inside of your database...
A brief glimpse of our faces would take your sanity...
Past mechanically… our tech is grown organically

Greydon
Lyrical force choke
Critical sword stroke
Visit to the war zone
Visual Morse code
I aim to explain the ancient mystics
The same conflicted, materialistic brain that claims ascension
...feel these small impossibilities
All hostility halted once I unlocked the villainy
Philosophically I’m Socrates
I can take the electron and predict its position and velocity
...Trial by inflation
I can rewire physics, several violations
Watch me interact with I’s from a higher station
Same space and time occupied no annihilations
The hunger grows inside us
Only subsides
when we eat from infinite menu of Iyosi Pydas
...So keep whatever you chose to peddle
And we’ll just keep kickin technology at the lowest levels

Sai Phi
Holdin me back
Nobody better be ready attack
Melody heavenly how many
Snacks
Pydas hides them in the back
Tell em sai phi and I
Divide em thoroughly
The murdering occurs once
We leave the room encouraging
Absurdity to take place urgently
Hurdling the hardest type of strikes
Currently i am serving thee
A four course meal for disorderly
Delivered by the greatest emcees
Quite affordably but this aint mickey dees
So beware of what your ordering
Cause you could end up after me in line
Abnormal torturing
Watch it cause i am possibly
Mistaken
But Your rhymes have the same effect on me as floppy bacon
A nice crisp with the kicks when it clashes
Handing you a fine iyosi dish for the masses
Pay attention kids in your classes
Or you could end up food for this dude when he smashes

I’m wired different//to spit terrific // it’s scientific
So If the beats horrific //I gets prolific// just hit me with it
I rarely flex//when I’m barely vexed// but it’s scary yes
And if I’m very stressed you gonna be the one that gets buried next
I’m the final boss// my arrival starts// your final loss
You get your spinal cord ripped and then tossed...just turn the game off
erase your fucking name off// I’m scheming like Bernie Madoff
I’m the team that always wins that you hate to see in the playoff
Invoke my name you choke in pain.. realize all your hopes in vain
I bring the smoke and rain then after that it’s life insurance claims
Old and cantankerous.. I’m bitter and kind of rancorous
and mean enough to shove a sharp blade straight through your pancreas
These days I’m at my angriest...I stay on some bullshit
I feel morbid..chop you up to see where your corpse fits
Then torch it...and leave a scorched pit
Rocket to orbit….snuff the planet and use human screams
As my chorus

SAI PHI
I am out of my mind
Why are the lights out
Never be happy to find
Suffer the lines how
You and I define
Sound
now I'm down
Loose in time
Rewind
Found alive now
Every planet of mine
Suffer humanity
Signs of life ignite
The fire you bind
You idol the people
That leave you behind
Never be settling
Pick apart the melody
Underneath the meddling
I release the
Recipe
Of
The past
You can ask me
I'm lasting the last
Ever rapper
An athlete
Maddening
Done with it
had Enough
Of the misery
I'm entering a
Literal
Assembly of
Nothing but
A self centered
Symphony surrendering
I'm suffocating
Simply
I've never needed nothing
From you
Mentally.

Trying to carve my name on the famed acclaimed citadel
...What vice would you give up for your dreams?
...What discipline would you take on? What method or means?
Who might you declare war on? Which weapon? What team?

This is another lesson indeed.
Message received.
All of this is to distract the mind
given stacks of stacks of time
A rigid offensive is asinine
Past the line

Pay for dream with sacrifice with ash among the mire
