Bring the depth, my name Brunelleschi W,I, double N, I, N, G when you test me my every move I groove on the science defiance, climb up the stock to slay giants each hour I devour something new know thyself, know your enemy to dark triad, scroll Wikipedia reading ya, now I know what they did to ya dynamite light it change the scenery poison snake faking in the greenery rabid dog bit its own paw off heard a cough, choking out loud on a sawed off play the game, so Machiavellian aftermath, the role of the villain and evil doer, looks more psychotic, neurotic can’t tell if you are human or robotic Cold interface: gonna trace my whereabouts Cold interface: gonna fry the in’s and out’s Select bits of the jigsaw depiction bad habits grow to morbid tradition one by two, together more clearer the mirror reflects backwards the exterior set timer on a suicide bomb designs from big bang of stupid dot com wear camouflage this technological jungle smells fungal so turn up the mr. bungle Won the battle, lost the war Lost the battle, won the war Won the battle, lost the war Lost the battle, won the war

I hear you say those who are innocent can cast the very first stone well I’m innocent till proven guilty so watch as I darken up this tone with some black paint, scrawl manifestos to make you faint then you wake up after a good nights sleep to find your car tarred and feathered used that hood as my ledger cause my minds a lethal weapon and the worlds a stupid question not like that fucking christian Mel Gibson more like a radicalized muslim addicted to the Simpsons now I’m looking all around, looking up and down for some good omen to celebrate that’s when I finally found one, I read that humans they’re goners they’re going extinct, who’d a mutherfucking think? gone fucked up that lizard instinct Keeping rival lyricists jaws wired tight Cause for me it ain’t fight or flight Its fight, fight, fight Use this track as a burner account which amounts to a fat stack of bannable offenses you’ll never see me mend those fences, just fend for my two cents it’s a Lucifer given right to express myself so I do it legally and start a civil war on the side like Robert E. Lee cause you gotta kill to be free Coldblooded as Ice-T in Johnny Mnemonic I’m on it faster than midi drums go pa-rup-pa-pum-pum teach lessons, there’ll be no style regressions my only confession; got this silver tongue loaded 24/7 Keeping rival lyricists jaws wired tight Cause for me it ain’t fight or flight Its fight, fight, fight If you come across me you better not cross me Cause for me it ain’t fight or flight Its fight, fight, fight Keeping rival lyricists jaws wired tight Cause for me it ain’t fight or flight Its fight, fight, fight

See zoomer gen hate boomer ken, lets play some pictionary Fine living in a two million condo, juuling up some raspberry Dance to the decline, swill down red wine, yes I live the high life Came out a victor, rather be victim, babies so first world strife Act like a dead weight, pump some iron got a feathered pedigree Low volume, super ego, down you cannot bring me Death wish to die on Halloween, screech like a Mitch Lucker Street walker cheetah with a golden heater, its Wu-Tang mutherfucker Noise weapon set on high, its set to kill, blown up your speaker cone Rip, distort or crack and warp, turn clean to dirt, ain’t no neutral zone One becomes a two becomes a three, hit me with that best guess Meanings a bitch, linear kitsch killed off by my stream of consciousness

about

Whats this? An experimental noise rap EP with all the instrumentation played in real time. Its short and to the point, dropping new school rhymes with old school flavors over heavy funk beats and metal riffs because that's how I keep it real.
