Spider 03:18
(Verse 1) First up’s the lesson that you better learn, To progress cause the second is the session i’ll burn And third is the word that you hear around town Cause usurpers get murdered for claiming the crown And fourth is of course the force flows from within So the fifth, thats the wish that you make to the wind And six is the storm thats about to begin Because seven is the number that I roll when I sin Eighth is the greatness the letters that make up, The name of the faithless one starting to shine And nine is the kind you won’t find in your rhymes Because 10 is the weapon that I keep in my mind And 11 is the lesson that i’m hoping you’re noting The storm has now started and the heavens have opened I’ve broken my promise so keep your eyes open Cause 12 is upon us and the monarch has spoken (CHORUS) This is for the people who fell from the fire Those with the belief to never cease to climb higher This is for the people who see truth through the liars Those who make the moves to raise the roof and empires This is for the ones who put it all on the line Who have fallen from the heights but get up one more time This is for the people who see truth in the designs Cause nothing said true can be said out of line (Verse 2) Let me explain how it is to be a king and have no crown Live to fight , fight to win and still fall down One minute I’m hopeless, you can hear me screaming out, The next and I’m blessed on the best clear route And its blatant I can’t take it but I’m trying, They hate it cause theyre facing its the face of the defiant Chasing never shaking when I’m battling these giants But i can see the light at the end and its blinding Blood ink and tears seep from my sweet science But i face my fears with the heart of a lion And i might stand alone so close to denying My dreams and hopes but i won’t cease fire Over my cold bones they gon have to pry em Cause im going for the throne through tragedy and triumph You can hide behind your walls which youre oh so reliant, Ill pick them a apart just to show you im not lying

Shitfaced 03:10
V.1. I’m feeling kinda high again, fighting this leviathan. My mind’s eye flies from the place that I am lying in. Try to get by running dry from my supply again, But the guy that I buy from won’t reply, it’s not surprising. SO I head the off license for cigs and tonic wine and I find a bag of Grime I forgot to take last night. Aw, shit, the M-Cats out of the bag again, Instead of writing lines I am sat in and i’m racking them, I chase white lines that erase my mind, but it’s safe cause I’m blazed and I’ll take my time. Man, in this lifetime, you gotta live it up, So I’m calling up my mates and we’re heading to the club. Now I’m in a muddle, befuddled and fucked up, Find me punch drunk in a puddle of young bloods. Man, this club’s full of dumb cunts, I think I need another one. Get ready for the drop, cause I think we’re going under son. CHORUS X2 As long as i’m shitfaced, as long as I’m blazed, As long as I’m gone for days, Yeah, whatever it takes, to get me out of this place, This monotonous maze, Where the rain paints pictures in 50 shades of grey. V.2. Obscenities stutter out from my gutter mouth, I don’t wanna raise the roof, I wanna burn this fucker down. I was chatting to this girl but I never got her number, now- I’m standing outside and I’m starting to wonder how- -I’m gonna get home. Batteries gone on my phone; And I spent all I had on this big bag of ‘Drone. Now there’s someone I know, From a long time ago, says he’s having a party And it’s just down the road. Man, I’ve seen sense once but I haven’t seen it since. So I’m like: “Safe, just show me where it is.” When we get to the place, And he opens he gates, All I see is demons with snarls on their face. Now I’m thinking they’re getting hungry and they’re looking at me. So I’m heading to the door like I got somewhere to be. But there’s the girl from the club, and she hands me a key. So I take another dunt and suddenly I see. CHORUS V.3. Fed naked to the flames, It’s running through my veins, I’m feeling like my whole worlds twisted and deranged. I can’t seem to see staright, I’m slipping from my brain. Man, this melancholy holiday is driving me insane. Got nothing left to say, there’s nowhere else to go. There’s nothing I can do, I am losing my composure. I am so sure I’m disgusting, thinking that I’ve lost the plot, Coughing up these gobs of snot, Rushin’ and spaced like a cosmonaut, I wanna stop, these walls from spinning And my ears from ringing. While the room keeps revolving, I’m looking for a deep dark hole that I can crawl in, i’m falling. I’ve nearly reached the bottom of this pit, A long lost abyss, Where the walls whisper words of all the chances that I’ve missed. It’s the flicking of the switch, the turning of the screw. Reality is calling and I’m hanging up on you---

Icarus 03:28
CHORUS Reach Up, Reach out and Spread those wings Learn from defeat, we’re the death of kings I don’t wanna be the one to see the sun and plummet down, Tell my why you’re running now, why you’re running now. That lot, cannot, deface my dreams I will not, still plot, replace these schemes I don’t wanna be the one to see the sun and plummet Tell me what you’re running from, tell my why you’re running. V.1. Sicker than the skeletons that hide inside your sordid dreams With fickle tricks, cut a cicatrix across the seams When the pens might fails then that sword will seem- -seductive, a rush just to cut across these cornered sheep, That’s sorta mean, but I’m losing sleep from counting them, The hardest artist drawing blood when I pick up my fountain pen, I’ll count to ten, But it’s already kissed the canvas, I’m a beast when I speak, preach deep in every language, I feast on the weak and this beat has made me famished, So I’ll damage all you amateurs who try to test my stamina And I don’t need a camera, for you to get the fucking picture, My words can paint with razorblades and tear this fucking frame to splinters Enter the Ninja Master of this game of death, a Nameless Dread, Who came to take this game to bed and fuck her till she calls me king Says my name across the ages: RED Dream until the day I’m dead, freedom with my dying breath. CHORUS V.2. As I walk through the city where the rain’s never ceasing I’m never sleeping, walking while I’m lucid dreaming Stupid screaming Is drowning out the relevance, I’m counting down the days until they fade away from prevalence With acrobatic eloquence the evidence presented to you, Flip the script on fickle bitches vicious lyrics ripping through you Don’t get it do you? It’s not like me to lie to you, deny the truth, a loss for words the hangman’s turn to tie the noose Now you’re on the ropes Slippin like a bar of soap, wishin it was different but you never really had a hope It’s up in smoke, When you’re playing with fire, immolate all my haters till the day I retire What you running from? When you try to save face, this isn’t drum and bass but I got status to chase So I’ll take my place, at the top of the anthill Gridlock the pawns at the bottom and bring the board to a standstill. CHORUS x2
