LYRICS!!!

*1. MONK MODE [lyrics]
(Verse 1)
1. Face them obstacles, move like a mobster do; 'Goodfellas,' Phoenix rise from the hood dwella...
2. Slang crack cocaine, ate chicken lo mein; Chinese take-out, detectives staged a stake-out!
3. Watch Colossus run..., like a leaky faucet; Gothic, skulls & skeletons...
4. Damn the internet!, tell a friend, grassroots; hand to hand combat, I'm usually a calm cat.
5. I got a bomb, gats, a gatlin gun; Nat Turner son, Guerrillas bust & run!
6. No longer lust!, male nun, 'MONK MODE;' like Malcolm, never fold, Marcus Garvey bold!
7. Booker T. Washington, foes vs. friends; hard to decipher, closest to you could be the viper!
8. W.B.U.D. rider, stay strapped!; so much history, music go back to A-Dats...

(Verse 2)
1. Longitudinal study, Florida waters muddy; swampy, Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe...
2. Tyrannical, Hannibal..., cannibal; primate, animal..., basic instincts.
3. Always in sync, my style from the backstreat; boys..., stole they style from 'New Edition!'
4. I know I did!, emboldened, knowing Noah slid...; cross that flood, he was surfing on that bourbon...
5. Bald head wearing a turban, draped in a poncho; mo fight than Hector 'Macho' Camacho...
6. Wonder Woman lasso, tell the truth!; Colossus colossal, the booth's the proof!
7.Alway's stood tall, represent the 'West;'
Wesconnet, 103, sunset!
8. Gun & a vest, love the kids!; no remorse bout anything I've did!, PEACE...

*2. DECORATED [lyrics]

(Verse 1)
1. Unstoppable, teflon Don!; I roam throughout the Ville & far beyond...
2. Bright neon, wear a turban when in Tehran; return to the Ville with more love than Faizon.
3.Put Jimi Hendrix 'Purple Haze' on, blaze on;
4. I got some fire written, keep emcees submitting; once bitten, honor, more foreign than Britain.

(Verse 2)
1. Westside, Westgate terrordome, laventura; SiColossus, W.B.U.D.'s furor!
2. Tyrannical, Hannibal, dictatorial; statues built in my memorial, flowing through...
3. Your subwoofers & tweeters, stood next to tweakers; these street cats had me eager.
4. Think about approaching, stop it, I come like Ghandi; leave busting a tommy, one man army...
(Verse 3)
1. Let me have it!; Growl like a lion cub
practicing hunting rabbits...
2. Lorana Babbitt, I mean Bobbitt; more drive than a convict scaling a prison wall.
3. Approach like mist and fog, subtle; I give orders, no talk back or rebuttals...
4. Every morning, one man huddle, break!; I rise even if I ache, where my record crates.
5. Set the record straight, wait, I don't have to; I let the streets talk, lane avenue...
6. Jammes rd., Wesconnet, 103rd; Joe Daddy, dr. Buddha, Coyotito Byrd.
7. Heavyweight, Chip, baby Gert, Derrick Byrd; think back, our excursions were absurd.
8.But our bond was our word, take your ass elsewhere; labeled as a liar, death sentence, electric chair...
(Chorus)
1. Memories, grew from grass to trees; strong like oak, look in the mirror, see the g.o.a.t.
2. Mediocre behaviors not tolerated; we vets with stripes decorated!!!
(Verse 4)
1. Pursue my independence, relentless; God is the master, I'm the apprentice in the trenches.
2. Don't trust no census, them people high; them people lie, then disregard the steeple hoisted to the sky.
3. We get exploited or die, deaths around the corner; last cat to see the tat on ya back's the coroner
4. We violent, vindictive, pre-destination; life is scripted and sometimes wicked.
5. I roam these badlands calmly, Islam is on me; Christianity, the struggle, insanity.
6. Vanity, estrogen; I just realized cisgender mean heterosexual men.
7. Fuck it! Got grenades, pull pin; the spool spins, meaning...
8. The Earth continues to turn; Colossus continues to learn...
(Chorus)

*3. PLENTY QUESTIONS [lyrics]

(Verse 1)
1. Colossus calling all shots, under the big top; ringleader...
2. Master of ceremony, far from phony; genuine, pony, ride it!
3. I've confided in no one, lonely shogun; samurai, who gives a damn if I die.
4. Sip this fifth and fry!, fight to not comply; gaze at the moon & ask why...?
5. Why we look like this; why my mindstate always a gorilla peering from the mist?
6. Stomping in my big black boots; notorious game, b.i.g. gimme the loot!
7. 3000 give me that flute, I'll go pied piping; I'll try to ride lightening...
8. D.N.A. of Malcolm fighting!; I love the night and, sunrise...
9. Big Pun died, inhabitants of Earth; made the Sun cry...
10. Colossus, longitudinal study; update, D.A.N.'s nutty...
11. What'd you expect?; strategically remove sensory trait for cause & effect.
12. Applauds for sex, cheeks clapping on stage; emotional, filled with rage.
13. Kill the sage, take a pill everyday; to cope with the heavy day.
14. Long barrel out the chevy spray; black lives mattering fo black people area grey!
15. Painted a portrait today; yesterday, I spent all day in my study.
16. Researching, flashback to coming through the birth canal; Mom's giving birth and...
17. Dark shadow lurking, saw a shadow in the dark; "Is that a person?" Now I'm clutching & cursing.
18. Apocalypto!, docile, Gizmo; in a instant (Olivia Newton John,) get physical.
19. Cut like scissors do, praise the turntables; Colossus, master poetry, Aesop's fables.
20. Isa pops naval, sailed the seven seas; I'll never flee, firm like a tree.
21. Just a mic & me, no outside influence; North America in ruins, guitar tuning.
22. Spit from a far, crooning, Frank Sinatra;
Marvin Gaye, Barry White, let love seize the day.
[Chorus)
1. Drop to my knees & pray!, submit to submission; quiet, in the cut, distant, persistent.
2. But plenty questions; ask Guatemalans bout the border with them Mexicans
3. If Mexico lock'em up; and the Chinese ah bust you in the head with a wok, & say what!
4. Japan accepts no mosques, but adore hip-hop; plenty performances, this Kris Kros.

(Verse 2)
1. U.S. media false, half the U.S. citizens lost; I'm strapped, watching paintings by Bob Ross...

(Chorus)

*4. PROJECT ASH [lyrics]
(Verse 1)
1. Fork in the road, decisions, two doors; death to free speech, speak my mind, uproar!
2. My cup runthe on the floor; contents spill, shits getting real!
3. We slaves..., who no longer till; we slaves to what's portrayed as real!
4. Don't ask bout Israel or Palestine; as long as D.A.N.'s go to the gallows blind!
5. Shallow mind, narrow spine; just cause you got dark skin, no pal of mine!
6. Tight jeans?, "Are those calvin kleins?" my pants will never hang from my behind!
7. Grandma wouldn't allow it!; the way I was raised deserves a bow, shit!
8. Morals & decency; empathy allow me to meditate to the chaos of a symphony...
(Chorus)
1. Project ash on my shirt sleeve; remember..., smoke from incenarators made me choke & heave...
2. We ran straight into it, unhealthy, I knew it!; but if Mama say "Do it!," you do it!!!

(Verse 2)
1. Obey your parents!, automatic; my entire style come from digging through crates in the attic.
2. Disdain for those acting erractic; confuse the masses, I'm tatted, & always gatted!
3. But on the flip side, somber, know lips lie; in tune, harmony, like Gladys Knight & The Pips!, ride...
4. J-ville, rip tides, I'm like an eclipse in the sky, rare; would've been a great judge, cause I'm fair...
5. Inhale fresh air from the Atlantic; Praying..., mantis, shout out to Ron Desantis.
6. For his covid response; I apologize for black people being pawns...
7. For white liberals, who criminals & pedophiles; I'm leary of those who approach with a smile...
8. St. Johns flow north like the Nile; this baby Egypt, hand to hand combat with leaflets...

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
1. I love my pedigree; everyday I awake & try to be a better me.
2. Meta free, piss on zuckerberg!; that sucka's a nerd, steering the culture, absurd!
3. I'm a free bird, with eagle talons; piss on jimmy fallon, & jimmy kimmel, obvisiously not subliminal!!!
4. Overt agents of chaos; 1,000 jokes bout Christians, but not one bout a Mosque.
5. Ya fucking with a fox, naturally skeptical; military age men stream through Mexico.
6. From every corner of the globe; and if I speak about, I'm labeled a xenophobe...!
7. Birthstone, diamond dangle from my earlobe; come to my house unannounced?, naked!, open robe!!!
8. Like the Pope, exposed! fuck ya feelings; like blacks keep killing, & hypocritical gladiators kneeling...

*5. JMJ (tribute) [lyrics]
(Verse 1)
1. Colossus on the grind, this is Isa Vines; W.B.U.D., Morals limit me
2. Game for free, mimick me; tongue lashing cause the timid to flee.
3. Paint my portraits vividly, voice my decent civicly; I now move biblically.
4. Rise early, physically lap my block 4 times; prep to guide the flock.
5. Stride, strut, peacock, shotgun cocked, double barrel; hallway inside my homes narrow.
6. Commander, Daryl, Wingate, hen I hate, courvoisier; no more cognac after today.
7. Actors portray tough guys, robert deniro; on screen hero, real life zero.
8 Trump must've fucked one of his girls; men feuding over women is as old as this World.

(Chorus)
1. Who the best group?, G.O.A.T.; hit you the hardest when you was off in the distance, remote.
2. I love Outkast, Wu-tang, but I have to say, the greatest Run-DMC & Jam Master J.
3. Who set trends coast to coast Worldwide, arranged my wedding, made hip-hop my bride.
4. I love Naughty, N.W.A., but I have to say, the greatest Run-DMC & Jam Master J.

(Verse 2)
1.Clap at me & miss I'm clapping back;
lyrical acrobat, you've said yes sir more than Arafat.
2. In my mind I'm an aristocrat who hiss before he snap!
3. Needed like tree sap, healing; rise after resting & tell my reflection, "You brilliant!"
4. But deep down stranded, Gilligan!; prepare to scale & tumble down that hill again.
5. Pistol concealed, corners I bend; as the black man descends, the band plays 'Is this the end.'
6. Somber serenade, sayonara!; Japanese, bye bye Nagasaki, atomic horror!
7. If that atomic dog see tomorrow; he'll kill again, lay low, catch a flight to Cairo.
8. One engine blow, vessel spiral into the ocean; entire life flashed in slow motion...

8. I blame tofu, bitch eat a steak; I cut til the point a needle breaks...
