Tip-toeing through life I pretend That time might change what awaits at the end Enemies and friends, inherent beliefs, trends I'll ascend to the seldom-seen spiritual Zen, what then? Tell me what drives you, I can just listen The journey through the mind is a mission of stealth For admission of self, I petition The hero and the villain of the story is volition

Will-Powerz known to spin beats among the dirt Wielding words as weapon like William Wordsworth My surplus of words will certainly provide a burden Ain't you heard? Hip-Hop's dead and buried, wrapped inside a curtain! Will-Powerz holding down bass like a soldier Trying to embrace what I face getting older Dreams dry up, stagnate and become colder Than being stranded in Antarctica in an over-the-shoulder boulder holder. The 90s was a golden age for rappers Now they talk about 9s but miss the T like BA Baracus Glorifying guns enabled Conservative backers To condemn rap and then take offence at the word 'crackers'. Powerz just one of the phatter society mappers Who's vying for the enactment of propriety for rappers Boom, Bap, BING! The bassline shatters the matter contained framed in your face while you chatter! Will-Powerz known to vanish without a trace Like Madeleine McCann but nobody's seen my face Hiding in the place where fake music's embraced And if I die from it I just beat you in the human race. The craft you deface, I've marked you as a disgrace In the past hard graft and masters set the pace Now rappers sing with auto-tuners and waste Makes me wanna burn iTunes 'Urban Database'. THIS AIN'T URBAN - we call it HIP-HOP! It loves every style of music except pop! Grey skies clearing it's time for a fresh crop Calling every rapper up in the cards of Don't Flop. Think about the art and you'll find it's behind What's hidden between the lines in every rapper's book of rhymes. Bars full of crimes and personal gain frame The illusion of fame as merely cheapening your name. WILL-POWERZ! Say it once more for the game! Spitting fire like a Dhalsim Yoga Flame Rappers selling out made the craft go lame Then they tried to cast blame like they made an insurance claim! Please GET OUT! You know who you are Featured on the album of some bait pop-star I'd even go as far as to dedicate you a bar To say I hope a crazy stalker cuts the brakes on your car! Picturing you burn, a victim of your desertion Of discerning emcees, but people will never learn: Respect works best if it's something you suffer to earn Then turn it into something that's a service to the world.

[Stas Greekboii] Every night I try to battle myself demons I walk around in my bedroom like a pacing lion in this pig pen Looking at me like I can't amount to shit, but I can I just gotta get myself together for it to happen I've been battling thoroughly through these struggles Going for confession then killing these instrumentals I need to be forgiven for my sins that been committed God forgive me I stay true to what I have promised Yeah, I been going through hard conflicts Mom and Dad fighting I open my mind and start writing I'm like the typical cat with struggles but still got pride Nice on the outside with scars on the inside Hop in my shoes and give my hard life a try You'll witness all the drama fights and still feel deprived Momma told me one thing: to keep pushing and try I'll keep going til I get in the right state of mind [Chorus] I keep walking around in the night Like I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life I look around and look in the mirror (What's contained in the reflection?) Try to see myself clearer (Tryna change my direction) I keep walking around in the night Like I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life I look around and look in the mirror (That's how it's gotta be) Try to see myself clearer (How clear do I need?) [Will-Powerz] Clearer than the fear of dark days getting nearer I feel afraid cos the price paid's getting dearer How do you embrace fake smiles on your face As you give up on the chase for a better future era? Learning from the world expecting wealth My words effect nothing in the world except myself In turn it wrecked my health, better than me? You better believe it's better to be A veteran set in a method of freedom ready to lead indefinitely But every warrior has a weapon to bury Looking back finding my regrets are many The mirror of the past, like looking through stained glass Memory can place a mask where you never intended So any mistakes you're ashamed to tell Remember when it happen bro you only meant well Life can be a ride, one day you climb the next you slide But always keep in my you gotta hold your head high! [Chorus]

Will-Powerz is gone, but on another level I be writing songs from the soul like it's sold to the devil Rebel to the core I'm inevitable and enabled To belong, whether it be wrong or dishevelled Strong, I been battered for a long time, never had a fond mind Revelled in the soul you bedevilled Strung heavy metal as a confine, combined Designed better elements to rhyme for my mind. Time is irrelevant, and elevated shine Is diving, higher high than inebriated kinds Spiritual I will live it, you will be inclined To absorb, I will give it to you, live it to decide The meaning of life, the ,music we use it Deciphering a message inscribed in our minds No it's not the same fight Powerz had personified Hours not defined, pilgrimage for the blind [Seek and you will find That which you enshrine] And on another page, now I'm of an age Of a rage, die for the life struggles I engage Powerz was a fabrication, Will an enigma Labels and stigma, throw him on the stage! Or know him from the page - ink to the voice Poetry alone, rhythm raises a choice Melody, the soul inherent in the sound Harmony, sweet, bringing heaven to the drowned Or rap, the harsh words pound like a drum Rhythm and rhyme, they are divinity for some There's harmony in rhythm, harmony in sound Lyricism harnessed effortlessly, blessedly profound Lesser people frown as you scream from the pivot You will spiritually inhabit abstract ground GRAB THAT NOW you can partake, have a part stake In enlightenment, cosmos-bound. Dilla be around...Dilla changed souls Will'll be evolved as the contours mould As the cold shade wraps in its crude embrace Folds in the slighter minds of our race Escape is a chase, are we on the same side? Blame pride for the elevated dirt we applied [I say: Music Hasn't Died] Dried and it supplied a bit of sly hit Chart songs, money-maker sharks it belonged to Chance it, I want to bring it to you brand new Sling it to you sing it to you, whatcha gonna do, huh? A new dawn age of aquarius, share you're aware of us, wary ensnaring us No longer Powerz it's just Will. Hours on how I can make the thoughts stand still The concept real: the brain, the same, in pain and angel came and changed the game; HEALED Strange an name can make an idea sealed In the cried tear-spangled eyes of my field Powerz I can feel I will miss you, never diss you And your legacy will drive me to build Until I arrive at the light and fulfilment Shower me with dreams...I'll see you there

[Daysta] There's a lesson in possession from my past life regression With more flows than legion I show in my expression It's a dark tale to tell, like a gateway to Hell I seen insight on the night that the Blue Angel fell To a pit far below where, chained and restrained, Only anger, hatred and jealousy remained He taps the brightest part of us, lingers in our thoughts Makes you unbelieve all the fear you was taught He enters your soul on a day-to-day basis Possessing your emotion, reflected in your hatred Feeds on negativity, hides the realities Of a soul-struggle so you don't even battle, see? It's ruthless how truthless, heartless and cruel Is the beast in your soul always waiting to rule It's a state of emergency, the level of the urgency The spiritual and literal power of the ritual [Chorus] Can't U See the mark of the beast? Can't U see the destruction of peace? It's part of the prophecy foretold throughout the ages It's coming! It's Coming! We're at the final stages! x2 [Will-Powerz] It's a struggle to resist The devil hides in our mind's lie that he doesn't exist Every vice we persist and delight as a gift Must apply pride to provide sight of a wish! Invidia, full of spite, is the glitch That an envious mind can't fight like an itch From the bite of a parasite hiding in the pits Of a gluttonous rich man lying in a ditch. Lust is a twitch with the power to bewitch The quick, the sick, the sour and the switch is flicked Before allowing, for kicks you're now devouring Flowers of the artificial kingdom you cower in. Now you're bowing to your pain; Rage, laziness and greed for any material gain The seven deadly sins sling dirt on the Earth There's seven heavenly virtues, learn what they're worth man [Chorus] x2

[Gareth Paul - Chorus] I know it comes for everyone You can't hide and you can't run If our mistakes can't be undone Only the good die young [Will-Powerz] Altogether memories are hard to tell apart It's rare to find a memory that lingers in your heart Other than memories that represent a new start Or chances you took for granted that end up being your last My chance passed with others, we never knew Just a normal day in school would be our final time to speak to you We never knew that the day the ambulance took you away We lost the chance to say that we loved you. Because we did Seventeen, we were just kids You were the brightest among us, every moment you lived You did nothing but give, and you were equipped with A gift for living happily unrestricted But in one moment you were stripped of it No-one could predict it, it was so quick It's difficult to depict, like a switch was flicked And there was nothing we could do to fix it...nothing [Chorus] [Will-Powerz] The last time that I saw you, I was in the street You were on a stretcher looking like you were asleep With a respirator helping you to breathe, I was scared but never believed That life would only offer you two more weeks I remember the phone call, struggling to speak When I first heard they turned off the life support machine I was like "What does that mean?" My friend in his grief Didn't want to have to say the words differently See, words, in the end they aren't enough Every one of us woke up on the first day Knowing you were gone. The world carried on But for us time froze in the moment you were taken from. The moment you were holding on The moment we were praying you could still recover from The moment to this day we still dream we could change The moment that in memory we constantly prolong [Chorus] We were only kids, you were in a box Carefully they carried you and placed you at the top Of a shrine of flowers and photographs with a cloth Embroidered with words quoting a solemn prayer to God I almost felt ashamed of my own heartbreak Your mother cried more than her body could take For her sake your dad chose to speak. Stood beside you And told us the story of your last two weeks He recalled that you opened your eyes And even though you only had movement in one side You comforted your mother as she cried, reached out to hold her Every second you breathed you'd carry on the fight Til only a machine was keeping you alive You silently drifted away in the night In our dreams and memories we sustain your life You changed our lives... [Chorus] x2

[Chorus - Will-Powerz] People living on their knees tryna get by People dying in the streets trying to survive Every struggle every never-ending fight Wishing everything will be alright [Chorus - repeat] [Will-Powerz] Sifting through the bars, Will drifting through the stars Still a million miles away from Mars, destination far Estimation target designation hard, desperation I regard education marred our imagination Regard preservation as the bard Explanation of the shards of my heart This my declamation marked by the defamation Of the human nation as we're racing to the end of domination Self-abomination All that we give for life We live for life And if for life We give our lives [Faye] Remember... Remember... Remember... Remember me...

If only you could see how deranged I can be If only I explain what remains within me Talking dreams of relief to extremes of belief Plotting schemes underneath what I speak and you see. See this here is my fantasy, and my woman is society Gyrating slowly as she dances for me privately I am free to strip her to the flesh our lies are hiding She's a state of mind blinded by zeitgeist and irony. Dimethyltriptomine; spectral effervescent Psychedelic light nebulized clouds the skies we fly between Time freezes, dry ice screen the weaved realities And seemless fallacies a human seeks Her eyes shine brighter than life's prizes that justify violence And silently cry more than I could ever hope to buy But hope to buy's precisely what her misty eyes remind me of Man's design to balance sacrifice with open pride Unable to decline but unwilling to resign I bind her eyes behind a blindfold Lady Society is intrigued; why hide what I've seen But try to abide enticement twice? Now the scenery's Enclosed, she's unclothed, sliding closer Pheromones intoxicate and strike in her aroma She knows I've been exposed to the glow of possibility Now to show me I can only get it through servility Her lips whisper to me with language and imagery Seductively she tells me what my desire should be It seems she has the audacity to preach to me about freedom Paradoxically, toxically, leads me to believe I'm needed, I'm heeded, I'm unique and unexceeded If I leave my individuality she'll always carry me... She's all that I can see in the swirling haze around me There may be something further with the beauty to astound me Her covered eyes have bound me to the bounty And the whispers of her lips, impossible to resist like Will O' The Wisp Mystified I mask her face, deepening the masquerade Keeping her advance at bay, giving me a chance to say I'm looking for a different way, the pain that I convey Makes her hesitate, like a killer with its first prey Persevering with the fray I make my play and stray away From Lady Society to chance it in the grey To blaze a trail as a castaway, at last display A vast array of martial arts, I paid to study Descartes But they can't persuade me that she won't betray me She'll keep on dictating, her charms will decay me But as the day recedes, motivation seems to cease to breathe I'm alone amid the trees and on the breeze I catch the scent: Lady Society Maybe I'm uneasy but she still inspires my And once again she's all that I can see, now I feel Her, I need Her, in fear I'm beneath Her I tried to be free in society; o be or not to be I can't believe it isn't possible, it's got to be She's got to me, I know it, I'm reeling, I'm feeling ecstasy Inexorably swept to be everything she expects of me She's a multiplicity; a plethora Whether I seek freedom or never believe in leaving I'll forever be weaved among the skin Someone intravenously feeding me edicts like a king. Nothing eternal I'm just an epidermal cell Interminably preserving a certain version of the shell A burden I repel...to be or not to be The options I've adopted make living a lottery Instead I'm taking option three: let a disease spread in our melanin Carcinogenic, ahead of any relevant medicine: If I'm going down then I'll take the Lady with me Misery, hate and rage are the gifts the Lady gives me Call it a murder/suicide, anything you like I survive sometimes by dreaming of the day that I die Dreaming of the day that I die Dreaming of the day that I die...

[Snypa D Delic] As time flies by every year I'm getting older Months fly by and days are soon over I tell myself to keep composure Remain strong like a soldier and catch what life throws ya Too much a lot of weight on your shoulder Life can be tough I'm sure you knew before I told ya Friends close, enemies closer This ain't Jeremy Dot Operah, nah I'm getting what's rightfully mine so I'm Going all out when I'm writing these rhymes In time I visualize I'll make it big time So in my spare time I'm writing these rhymes Driving 'em mental, but yet I don't drive So slap on an instrumental and just close your eyes As I take you on a trip to the depths of my mind A place non-civilized and full of grey skies, no lies This is my life in words and when I Wrote this verse I struggled at first but Then I thought fuck it mate, show 'em what you're worth So for now, since birth, I swear I've been cursed I been from good to bad, then worse From worse to bad then flip it in reverse Kill it when I spit it give it everything I've learned Throughout the years the tables have turned, look I turned my life round now Cos I'm living my life safe and sound now Check my YouTube account or Sound Cloud All these weak emcees better bow down I been crossed, I been lost, but I'm found now I got over it now since I found out Out to everyone I really wanna stand out GAS MASK FORMATION, we're gonna stand out! [Chorus - Will-Powerz] These hands of mine They can't do nothing 'bout the hands of time I can't do nothing with these hands of mine They can't do nothing 'bout the hands of time... [Will-Powerz] Space/time I chase by and erase mistakes I made tryna base my life on Fake signs, I trace lines in case it takes the shape Iwould equate the size from Part of my life's gone, I measure in years Irrelevant numerical rhetoric subtlely smears I've got nothing to fear, I have struggles and near buckles And clear sincere trouble to steer what appears to bubble beneath cheers! Any anniversary; personal or universal working the rehearsal we Learn observing history, furnishing the mystery Of yearning for the gift to see the person that you wish to be The clock ticks another tock Another thief somewhere pickas another lock Another leaky tap drip-drips another drop And another 'once had' becomes another 'have not'... Space/time relativity, I embrace mine as it's relevant to me If an element's ever perceived beating the limit of life speed It might be a nice read with a sweet cup of tea It's hard escaping the past We see it every time we get a glance at the stars Or a chance in our bars as rappers to go hard On a shard of our heart that's irreparably scarred. Whether we are or we aren't gonna last One minute ends then another one starts You cover it in your graft or your art when you mark What's regarded as charting the parts of your craft! You only need to be half-smart Clock ticks aren't easy to tell apart like... [Chorus]

[Ricky Benang] On the path I talk with a dream for the day we stand as one My words are the bullets and the mic is a holster that bears a gun That will shoot with a purpose, hit you with an inspiration On the road we drive but contemplate the indication For the fact we slip as a generation daily For the fact that love is dead unwed mothers aborting their unborn babies For the fact that love is shadowed by demons and feelings of giving the bullet to death In the search for the simple things but I wonder what is left? Fame and fortune earned through torture Lifelong values, they got slaughtered Girls who chase that thug life rep but still wanna rep that heavenly daughter But the demons breathe that poison for chasing the money and greed Money in trees he makes it rain in return for the soul it's guaranteed That's how the deal is dealt, but now you've lost yourself No hope for the simple life you fell for the pits of Satan's wells Tortured by the voices of Hell, raises you reminisce When your life was simple but now your soul is what don't exist! [Chorus - Will-Powerz] I believe that we Have never been free And I want back what they took from me My identity A simple life's never been easy... [Will-Powerz] Right now the future's waiting on you Man, I you believe it's easy I'll show you a thing or two See we're living in a world where wealth is a measure of self And anything else is irrelevant element Prevalent, decadent, pastimes eminent Unintelligent art hinder development I just want to keep it simple I just want peace and freedom for all my people 'My people' means everyone, differentiating can be overcome Why are we divided when ultimately we're one? I wanna bask in the light of the sun Wanna see past what life has become Wanna see one day where I breathe with the freedom To believe I could be at ease some day Some might say that it's me with the problem Life's great and the world's a-ok That being the case, I have no place and I'll Leave to conceive how I lost my way Everything I say, what I'm trying to convey If you don't buy into living your life how they play There's nothing we desire more deeply But leading a simple life has never been easy! [Chorus]

[Will-Powerz] Come and go with me There's so much new to see Get high with me Come fly with me Ooh I want you so About to lose control Get high with me Come fly with me... So much... So much I wanna show you... Get high with me Come fly with me...

[A Double] I got a lot of angles in me I got the Devil and the Angel in me Cos my city like an asylum ain't no hanging with me If you never claimed it with me I hope you get the picture cos I'm known to paint it quickly Leonardo with the vision and my man Da Vinci Around these lions and gorillas so they cannons with me I play my advantage swiftly You be thinking that he don't, but he do that Cos growing where we grew at Them niggas never make it so we gotta go and do that I'm living where the zoo at Where they all go try and figure where the loot at 9 out of 10 he done taught 'em how to do that The irony to that is he ain't even have a clue black I'm playing with my bootstrap Me I'm like Nino to niggas because they New Jack And before I said it he ain't thinking to pursue that They giving you lies, we be everywhere the truth at You wonder why you feel it when we speak it cos we do that [Chorus] A DOUBLE - True facts, and we still gon' pursue that Cos you know we everywhere they say the loot at One hand wash the other And you know both hands where the loot at WILL-POWERZ - And through that, dispatched in my terrain We bridging gaps international to build acclaim So when we hold it down, ain't the fact that we're afraid Cos the man who holds the power is the man who has restraint [Will-Powerz] I got a lot of angles on me Snakes tryna make a profit from me Con me into rolling with 'em then they drop it on me Think they're stopping me from clocking what's a problem for me But I keep it locked like a safe-deposit box Sorry but you can't knock me. Will treads softly. Got you where I want you when you start to think you got me A cocky state of mind ain't a good design to copy If you can't deliver half of the potential you embody You think it bother me that ontop of breeding hypocrisy The Hip-Hop dream routinely makes gods out of mediocrity? I'm like Socrates swapping beats with philosophy Possibly ontologically formed of feature of prophecy Stopped beyond the reach of what fakers speak when they rap I'm waiting for the breach and I'll take a piece of it back Sleeping on the whackness I'll make a beast of a track Then feat on the pack of rappers that ceased taking the slack, ain't no irony in that! [Chorus]

[Severe] All of what I've been through should have broke me down Bu that plan was misconceived by the Devil and what now Is apparent I can fight my way through anything I'm like a fire breathing dragon let loose and everything Standing in my way gets put to the side or dropped off The radar, so challenge me with what loss? Absolutely nothing cos I'm feeling so strong That I am ready for anything yet to come I'll move along the path I am walking as my destiny is calling For me to succeed, let my haters try keep stalling With abysmal non-effective conclusions They hold regnant and predominant delusions That's the case but never mind I stay focused And intricate in case invading impositions show quick And try to insistently entice function That repels progress, but that's no more than their assumption [Chorus] Just keep pushing on And stand your ground Cos you are built for this Steady flow is better than none Don't stand around For hardship you're built equipped x2 [Will-Powerz] I got mad jokers thinking they can break me Even my sanity is threatening to forsake me They think the numbers are providing them with safety But I show 'em why a freedom fighter rides on higher stakes, see I'm medieval knights fighting to the death I'm even breathing white fire that's igniting in my chest Enlighten and believe unless the grieving we express Leads a dream beneath the seams of every demon we possess, nah I've been a flying winged bringer of destruction Or a serpent sent to haul a nation out of its corruption, and what? Instruction undermines the mind's powers of deduction So for now fear is an insurmountable obstruction They know that Will-Powerz can discern a skilled liar It's no hiding out behind the earnings you acquire Cos on the wagon wheeling through the furnace of desire I'm a dragon man of course I won't be burning in the fire! [Chorus]

[Stas Greekboii] You gotta go hard or get out there's no second option Once you hit the stage you gotta get it all fucking popping You know I go hard in this booth every single day I'm repping New Jersey I portray that in every single flame I spit Me and Strick we got this fire lit Will-Powerz gonna come in to complete what we committed You're gonna have to pick-stitch our lyrics Cos no other rappers in the game could even compare to us if they dreamt it You know me and Strickland we got this fucking vision That we gonna make it big, but it ain't gonna be a vision It's gonna be a reality; soon enough you're gonna see us Performing on MTV next to Jay-Z Since I was a young kid I was taught to dream big I'm never gonna let go I got a good grip I'm not in the game to lose, I'm here to win Going hard ain't just my motto it's the way I live! [Chorus] Go hard or GET OUT Go hard or GET OUT You can't be lackadaisical you have to have the right Mentality to be successful or else you're gonna be Resentful and live a life that's not happy but very stressful [Kevin Strickland] Go hard or go home, rappers grown as a gnome In the zone I write tomes and comb shit off the dome Motherfucker I'm ready with rhymes in a machete That cut up a teddy be the betty in the shirts ain't 'bout spaghetti Already a SETI, we'll shred you, confetti Sharp tongue, steady heart colder than a yeti and Yet he hasn't killed you yet Waiting for the field effect Still detect you will be, wreck a home, you fucking feel me yet? Nobody is harder, turn rhymers into martyrs For starters you can't barter, I'm iller than Wayne Carter Silent like a diamond, kill it whenever I'm rhyming My lyrics break the hymen, killing shit, perfect timing Designing the picture, without the help of elixirs I'm a fixer of this mixture Rap you just a fiction Without a purpose, fuck it, go back to where you came Kevin Strickland's the name, go hard or get out the game! [Chorus] [Will-Powerz] Believe I take my time when I'm writing a sixteen I'm weaving innate rhymes, designing a sick scheme As five of the nine planets arrive in a prime alignment I'm winding the lines tighter than carbon atoms in diamond! Part of cracking enlightenment lies in high entitlement Nullifying the violence, purifying environment Silence applied science and climates of non-compliance The blindness of pious acolytes acting like advertisements. Lacking guidance attachments are trapped inside us Enacting actual riots and fashioning fake Messiahs Liars aspire to be suppliers of desire And I'm trying to amlify what fighting requires Re-ignite the fires before the culture expires This is Hip-Hop, why are we treating it like pop? Drop my name in a cypher: Will-Powerz decipherer Life of a righteous writer I shine brighter than Blake's tiger! [Chorus]

Volition is the start, but it can also be the end Money is the least important currency you'll spend Others aren't the toughest things with which you must contend Be water, my friend...
