Welcome 2 CrazyWorld I awoke in a strange land, blindfolded, stuck, spirit broken; a changed man, cuffed to others, swingin’ picks in a chain gang, singin’ licks ‘bout the troubles that the days brang, our oppressors had scales and snake fangs; rode pale horses, they bodies could shape-change, told us that we were accomplishing great things, and anybody who doesn’t believe it; they ain’t sane… Legend has it they came in the night, cut off the hands of any man able to write, built churches and made ‘em recite verses, but the worst was saved for any person that’s bravin’ to fight, That’s why I’m here now, sweatin’ through my tunic, Twenty men to cut a block, thirty more to move it, Can’t help but wonder what it is we’re doin’, But of course they never showin’ us no blueprints, stupid, They said it was a palace for the gods…got me lookin’ hard at my ax, And, thinkin’ bout challengin’ the odds, “Excuse me sir, can you com over here? My pick’s dull.” He came close, I put it right through his thick skull, Now my time has come, hacked through my shackles, And with a last glance, I headed to the East towards the rising sun, I’m a product of society, out here in the fryin’ heat, Exiled for not goin’ quietly… On the third day, the sky was the color purple, I knew, ‘cause I looked up to see the buzzards circle, Past parched and beyond famished, I saw an orchard in the distance But as I approached it, the mirage vanished, In it’s place, silhouetted against the landspread, A statue; the body of a lion with a man’s head, I rubbed my eyes, but it was still there, I noticed somethin’ risin’ in the distance behind it and I got real scared… Some kinda ill square flipped on its side, looked like a limestone mountain, but the tip was an eye I realized this was the fruits of our labor; their holy palace; The project that they’d used to enslave us, And then I wondered if anybody died happy, That’s when I noticed that the all-seeing eye was pointing right at me… Then I snapped back to real life, starin’ at my money; Wonderin’ “what if I kill tonight…?” It’s a CrazyWorld Ya’ll….

QUIZ PRODUCED BY SKIZZAZ Verse 1 [GRIZZ] Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here Tossin’ Olympias back, call me a grenadier I fell out for a minute, got my head clear Dried out, took a trip to the Eastern hemisphere Now I’m off the wagon; they can’t control the Dragon I’m just tryin’ to be real, like a Soul Assassin All of these hoes actin’ like Joe Jackson Toe-tappin’, vocoder robo-rappin’ Ice-T playin’ po-po, it’s oh-so classic Protesters hold signs sayin’ “no more caskets” The man’s tryin’ to control yo’ assets And cats catchin’ cases off that social chat shit, it’s drastic It’s the age of the war on terror, and if you ain’t scared, you an enemy of the era So maybe it ain’t the end you should prepare for Before you point fingers, try lookin’ in the mirror, I dare ya.

DEAD ROCKERS PRODUCED BY YONNAS ABRAHAM VERSE 1 This shit is colder than my fingers as I grip a Pabst, save the last fifth of Jack for the Likker Cat And get your bags packed for the quick evac Grizz is back, “WHATTUP,” Monster Kings, “WHATTUP” Mask & the Crown, and we down for the COME UP You probly heard around town how we RUN UP In spots, and give the party some life, like a ONE UP, So holler at ya man, ‘cause gettin’ on’s only half the plan I’m hittin’ home like Predator drones in Pakistan, More a Car Bomb man than a Black & Tan, I speak soft & carry big sticks, Bagger Vance, Dedicated to the kids who stay original Medicated off prescription-grade medicinals, Meditated on the issues, faith & principles, And why them legislators only listen to the richest few, Where the wicked rule, the real fly the Pirate Signal, You sipped that witches’ brew, now you got the virus in you. HOOK Get down baby, Let’s get a round for the Dead Rockers, thunderclouds follow me like fed choppers, maybe the eyes in the sky tryin’ to red dot us, maybe the CrazyWorld needs some head doctors, Get right fam, Let’s get a light & twist it up for the Dead Spitters, Hope they noddin’ heads wit us… It’s no joke, can I get witness? Everything’s real when I tend business… VERSE 2 I ain’t never been one to floss wild, take it from the horse’ mouth Matter fact, take it to the bank, like a Rothschild, Who da boss now? Sashimi-raw style, Plus a little book of names getting’ crossed out, Don’t give a damn if you the son of a preacher, I’m only moved by the thump of the speakers, Now the student is becoming the teacher, ‘cause I don’t deal w/no underachievers, I’m on the field, while they up in the bleachers, The great Bambino, sippin’ canned vino, tryin’ to scam C-notes, Spillin’ guts over fire, like the camp griot, These cats’ comin’ up shorter than Danny DeVito, ‘Cause they ain’t really go no form, like a Shaq free throw, Avert ya gaze, ‘cause my rays tend to burn the eyes, My word is born, and my vocab diversifies, Invest in Grizz, and prepare for the pestilence, I’ll tell Pharaoh that we’re headed on an Exodus… HOOK VERSE 3 We don’t tend to side with suicide bombers, But never had no genocides getting’ tried on us, I don’t know if I believe Barack got Osama, But the Jasmine Revolution? That’s my kinda drama While BP pipes burst, & spew petrol, And Wall Street impressionists is tryin’ to do Gekko, And so-called Hip Hop acts produce Techno, I be that unidentified fly, like U-F-O, And governments cover up evidence of aliens, So I don’t really give a F*CK whether Palin wins The media be globetrotters how they make it spin, With corporations owned by rich Saudi Arabians If you don’t think the world is crazy, then I’ll ask you this: How much they charge for that smart phone they track you with? Even the facts isn’t accurate, but step outta line, and the swine react quick, on some crack the whip… HOOK

BEWARE OF THE MAN FEATURING DECA & YONNAS ABRAHAM PRODUCED BY GRIZZ VERSE 1 [GRIZZ] I be higher than a 787 droppin’ chemtrails, Gone 730 off a 750ML… Sippin’ double 7’s, ridin’ dirty down the M-L-K, Turn it up to 11 & let it bang The world ain’t rational, We rock from the urban to the rural, Passin’ murals out at Denver International, There’s pervs at the church; protesters at the capitol, The whole thing would make a good JOKE; I ain’t laughin’ though… Hear ‘em tell it; yo it’s lookin’ mighty grim; YUP! We all rats in the lab, like NIMH, YUP! You know we can’t keep bowin’ to they whims, NOPE! Getting’ drunk, getting’ high; not givin’ a FUCK! And so we toast to this revolt, like the Bolsheviks, Hope we can all coexist, once it’s over with, There’s a time to act and a time to remain motionless, And being that we students of the times; yo, we know the DIFF! BRIDGE [YONNAS] We the ones that ya grandmamma warned ya ‘bout, The wrong kinda crowd; soon you’ll start comin’ ‘round, We weathered underground; it’s all about the money now, We know you ain’t for runnin’ wild; no, your ass is funny style, So why don’t you get up & out? Before we decide to come & hunt you down? So why don’t you get up & out? Before we decide to come & hunt you down? HOOK [GRIZZ] If you scared, get a plan; prepare like a man; No peace, but at least be aware; it’s a scam; Say a prayer for the damned, but no matter what he say… “BEWARE OF THE MAN…” If you dare to withstand, he’ll tear through ya land; Same cats who tossed Leonard Peltier in the can; Choose sides; I’ma draw a line here in the sand… “BEWARE OF THE MAN…” VERSE 2 [DECA] Catch a stone cast at your dome, By a self-righteous sinner that’ll send Gestapo to tap your phone, I got the blues; got a lot to lose, Got the noose so-and-so passed; check the database for slideshows & photographs, You’ve grown detached from your chosen path; lose control & crash on the overpass, Motionless; focused inward, With loved ones howlin’ like a thousand Ginsbergs with pinched nerves… Robert Johnson gave me his guitar pick, I can play Super Strings and rap about my hardships; You can lie through ya teeth & spoon-feed ‘em arsenic, Who can stoop the lowest, who can fall the farthest? It began, when we pulled an apple off a tree limb; Sweet sin; sustenance to sink teeth in, Took a risk & got 86’d for high treason, A pivotal moment, simple components define reason… BRIDGE [YONNAS] HOOK [GRIZZ] VERSE 3 [YONNAS] Beware the man with the hearts tatted on his hands, Colored all black, like the presidential caravan, Whereabouts unknown, nigga here I am, Shinin’ on you hoes and ya mu’fuckin’ scary ass, I was born with the mark of the beast, And I wear it like my heart on my sleeve, Nigga look-y here, It’s been known to get dark on these streets, So you better keep ya dogs on a leash, before they disappear, I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout no milk carton-sorta danger, Nah, I’m talkin’ ‘bout a real-life torture chamber, Abu Grahib, Guantanamo Bay; kill ‘em all, then we call it a day, Somebod haul ‘em away! BRIDGE [YONNAS] HOOK [GRIZZ]

Carry On Featuring Heretic Skeptic Produced by Skizzaz Skullface VERSE 1 [GRIZZ] My crew never passed 40’s, unless it was the last 40, Which never happened, ‘cause we HAD 40, And Sundays was the worst days; Leave a Colorado alcoholic thirsty; I’m, Pickin my eye snot & hackin up my mornin lung, Activities as ritual to me, as a yawn to some, Then I stop & ponder some… “But I just don’t think I can…” Recall Blue Ribbon brew sippin till the mornin come… Another blackout to cap off a bad month, Now I’m back in the line, like I ain’t bring a bag lunch, But it ain’t the school cafeteria; pure mass hysteria, I used to have this cool flask carrier, Now it’s by the wayside, like so many broads & jobs… Thank the lord, all I need is this case of mine; Oh, what a waste of time… “I just don’t think I can…” Fit in in this space & time; oh let’s just face it: HOOK 1 [GRIZZ] I’m a no-good sonofabitch, don’t wanna resist, Temptation; FUCK if I’m livin under a bridge, ya dig “I Just don’t think I can carry on, so I start…” Drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’… I guess brew’s the only therapy for a recluse, Who slept through his moment of clarity; damn… “I Just don’t think I can carry on, so I start…” Drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’… VERSE 2 [HERETIC SKEPTIC aka BROADNEY DANGERFIELD] HOOK [HERETIC SKEPTIC] VERSE 3 [GRIZZ] My crew never passed Frisbees, The only thing spinnin was the ceilin After fifths of Jack whiskey, I tipped ‘em back swiftly on the quest to find the best drunk; T-shirts & sweats; yup! Jeans means I’m dressed up… Less haggard now; my threads come wit a label; Still I can drink the best braggart straight under the table Critics call me cynic, but… “I don’t think that I can..” Quit it, so you might as well forget it, cuz… [HERETIC SKEPTIC] HOOK [HERETIC SKEPTIC] [GRIZZ] May the road rise to greet you and the wind be at your back, Mazel Tov, man, whatever’s puts the likker in the glass, come on… “I Just don’t think I can carry on, so I start…” Drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’, drinkin’… END

Quarter to Midnight Produced by Skizzaz Skullface VERSE 1 [GRIZZ] It’s been a minute since these vocal chords spoke to God… For no reason, blunts pass like the 4 seasons… Been goin hard down the boulevard with no regard… It’s a cold world; I’m out here in the snow, freezin… I used to have them coke sneezes, wakin up with nose bleedin, Withdrawin & havin cold fevers… That OC’s through the nose steez almost made me go fiend, I’m just thankful that I broke free, So toast to me, ‘cause the whole thing’s bittersweet, Sleep with gritted teeth; this ain’t how it’s s’posed to be; Everybody seems cold to me; It’s funny that I used to think you had to have both of ya peepers closed to sleep... Smokin grits till it’s close to 3; tryin to make it official like a notary To get to where I hope to be, But that monotony will fuck with you; I got addicted, but I kicked it; now all I need is something to do… HOOK 1 “It’s quarter to midnight kid, let’s get right!” Nah, just sit tight young man, just sit tight “It’s one o’clock; is you tryin to have some fun or not?” Grabbed my phone & started dialin numbers, but I stopped “It’s past 2, & you finished ya last brew; this is the last time I’m gonna ask you…” Tipped my hand, showin all of my cards, & woke up, Feelin like everything was fallin apart… VERSE 2 Every year, gettin closer to them grey hairs… Sad state of affairs, but I don’t say prayers… Just to make it clear, yo I keep my faith near… Too many cats create cages to escape theirs… Or put on great airs; thinkin they shakespeares Much ado about nothin; I can’t care, Ya whole face is just a canvas to paint fear, You better off livin in church; ain’t no saints here Just a bunch of hateful sneers & blank stares; One foot in the grave; I had to change gears, Left my hate there; all of our fates’ shared, Became prepared to death; now I ain’t scared, Gotta make the most of what I got, ‘cause fate’s weird, And life’s real, but it doesn’t always play fair, And that monotony will fuck wit you, I got addicted, but I kicked it; now all I need is somethin to do… HOOK 2 “It’s quarter to midnight kid, let’s get right!” Nah, just sit tight young man, just sit tight “It’s one o’clock; is you tryin to have some fun or not?” Grabbed my phone & started dialin numbers, but I stopped “It’s past 2, & you finished ya last brew; this is the last time I’m gonna ask you…” Nah, that’s coo man, I deaded that scene, And woke up, feelin like reverend dunked my head in that stream… END

HAIR OF THE DOG Produced by Chris Anderson HOOK 1 Sirens’ blarin across my city, makin it hard to hear me, Gimme that Maker’s Mark Whiskey; the hair of the dog that bit me, Guaranteed for the big leagues, and I’m carryin ya’ll with me, Blowin piff green; sippin the hair of the dog that bit me, I dare you: go on & tempt me, rappers is all but bitchy, Fuck a mixed drink, just give me the hair of the dog that bit me, HOOK 2 “Nothin makes sense in CrazyWorld…” ‘Cause the man with the land doesn’t share what he plants, “Try to make a livin, but they just won’t let you…” So the dude who picks the crops can’t eat unless he picks the locks, “Nothin makes sense in CrazyWorld…” And you can tell a bad man by the badge, the badge… “Try to make a difference, they’ll come & get you…” And the clock goes ‘tick, tock, tick, tock…’ VERSE 1 I’m, back on my solo tip kids, but yo; don’t you get it twist, No goin back for a Likker Cat once he been enlist, Lifelong prescription of sippin & keepin heads lifted, Usin any & all means of spreadin the sickness; Whatchu think this is? Drink tickets & party favors? Sorry haters, we got lives & kids; we mean business, If you need witness, shit… you can ax anybody in the back to the front row; better not act like a punk though; You don’t know what a thorough-ass team this is, We rollin green witches’ broomsticks, that scary Mary; Barely two puffs & stuff starts to seem different, Plus I get drunk in the booth, like I was Harey Carey, Pop pills like the homie Jerry; cherr-green spliff lit, Been did shrooms & ‘cid, since I was a foolish kid, Now I’m older & homie, it’s opiates, only it’s Slightly different; as a kid I was jokin & riffin, Now, as an adult, it’s like I’m copin with phoniness, what’s the deal? HOOK 2 VERSE 2 I made the album ‘cause myself I was doubtin, Drownin in liquor, downin pills offa the shelf by the thousands, Benzos, downers & uppers, Fentanyl suckers, morphine & methadone, Yak, adderall, man, I wish I had it all back, Matter of fact? Nah, I had a ball, and after all that, I’m still bent; havin trouble getting back on my track, ‘Cause I still CRACK the Swishers, and I still LACK prescriptions For the pills I pop; still don’t keep a cap on the Jack, We in a dark, hopeless hell pit, tell it to Maury Povich, Hard to focus on my grind amongst swine & swarmin locusts, Livin inside the belly of the beast, call me Jonah, Livin broke as fuck, homeless; life is hardly a bonus, But speak about some resistance, and most’ll just turn they heads, Though they barely earnin their bread; merely ekin out an existence Like Nicholson at the Bradley, I’m trippin, wishin for whiskey, What’ll it be? Just give me the hair of the dog that bit me on the rocks. Hook 1 Hook 2 (X2) END

OUTSIDE OF THE BOOTH featuring DJ COMATOAST Produced by Isolated Mind Verse 1 Outside of the booth, it’s bleak Dudes is sleep-walkin, crews is WEAK, That ain’t English they be teachin in schools, it’s NEWSPEAK, New World don’t sing the blues, she just weep, Treated like a leper, ‘cause I’m not the shepherd nor the sheep, I’m just steppin on the street, and handlin my B-I, You battlin the demons that just crept into ya sleep, There’s depth to my scenes, good luck tryin to see mine, Like Seven, you won’t get it till the message is complete, I didn’t believe in ghosts until I spoke to 5-0, Not talkin bout the fuzz, but my bruhs from the Navajo, Rez in Cortez, they told me on a side road; Got they asses chased by a shape-shiftin lost soul! They call ‘em skinwalkers, they can assume the shape of one animal; That’s why the claw’s on my arm, yo… When Mexicans would do the knowledge on them Chupacabras, I listened closed, paid attention to the convo, As the years passed, I got on my geek, and realized shit is not what you think, Feelin high, till the CrazyWorld got me, now I’m all on the brink, Bizarre ride, and I’m swallowin drinks, follow the stink; You gon’ find a prophet hidin under the sink, I ain’t shook yo; I’m runnin from shrinks, ‘Cause it ain’t about psychology, start preachin ya philosophies, And honestly, you’ll probably end up in the clink…ya heard? HOOK Ain’t no lovers no more, it’s just lust, Everybody just tryin ta bust nuts, Shit is changin so fast, I can’t adjust… “Plus, there’s no justice, it’s just us.” The world’s crazy, nuttin much to discuss, Ain’t no word to describe it beside a cuss, Ain’t no man tellin me who to trust, “In fact, watchin your back, it be a must.” VERSE 2 It’s startin to seem like the last days are here upon us, So I ain’t got a lot to say, like Clarence Thomas, Politicians know the deal, but wouldn’t dare acknowledge, Beware impostors who be swearin shit is fair & honest, You know that they don’t really care about us, They only tolerate us ‘cause there wouldn’t be no billionaires without us, Now my homies’ gettin laid off, the banks gettin paid off, The judge went & through the book at Madoff… I’m thinkin what about them cats that sponsored Adolf? The rich that ate off the backs of the poor, Then I finish my Old 8 off, & it’s back to the store, And on the way, pick up an 8 Ball, it’s happened before, I’m my own worst enemy, no hearse beddin me, Stressed out; watch my dome burst like Kennedy, My old old earth told me church be the remedy, But nah Grandma, that don’t work for my energy. Hook VERSE 3 The universe is gettin bigger now, Still we love to watch stars when they hit the ground, Shit’s been sicker since the Gipper brought the trickle-down, Now we barely know how 2 nickels clickin sounds, While the kingmakers sippin crown, sniffin mounds, Lightin spliffs with a Da Vinci frown; stick around, That is, unless ya little feets can’t reach to the pedals, Say my name & I pop up; speak of the devil, Swing like a metal Louisville, how I beat instrumentals, Even a sideshow freak couldn’t creep to my level, Here in the belly of the beast, we don’t settle for the leash, And nobody thinks you’re special in the least, So be careful who you effin with, capiche? You ain’t gotta be hard to learn a hard lesson in the street, Don’t take Grizz for granted, and don’t bank on no next release, Transmittin live from the planet till I rest in PEACE. END

So Long Produced by MADINEZ VERSE 1 Man, I can hear ‘em breathin, gimme reason not to dig the razor Deep into my veins; all these people are the same, keepin secrets from my Main man, me; ain’t no shoulders for the cryin And there ain’t no middle ground; it’s freezing cold or else it’s fryin pan, Iron Man comic books got me through my youth; Biggest vocabulary in school, but didn’t speak till 22, And look what it got me: copy, copy, copy, People, people, people, everybody’s carbon copies and they equals; what’s with me though? I window-shop for things that I can easily afford, In hopes that maybe someone greets me at the door when I get home, I had a friend once; her name was Susy; I wrote her letters, she never wrote me back, but yo, beggars can’t be choosy… HOOK 1 Man, I can peep ‘em creepin, gimme reason not to do the trigger-squeezin, Leavin me in blood puddles; milk curdled in the fridge, Dirty dishes in the sink; dead fishes in the bowl, Unopened pack of Trojans; empty wishes in my soul, VERSE 2 Dial tone; shit, you can’t blame me for tryin though, It looks as though it’s up to me to save them, I can’t wait for no messiah, so I’m havin thoughts of flyin out the window; that’ll teach a lesson to them yes-men seekin answers to they questions better than preachin, But as I overstand the city, I can understand the fact That they don’t understand the fact that I just want a hand to clasp inside my own flesh; Dome stressin out; checkin out the ledge, overlookin fuckers & screw-heads, Nah, this won’t do; this shit ain’t high enough for flyin, plus it’s time to pay these whiners back for all the shit I had to go through, the whole school used to look at me and laugh; well, who’s laughin now? Cashin out the piggy bank & bustin out the mask… HOOK 2 Man, I swear I hear ‘em breathin, gimme reasonNot to give ‘em all a reason; Even mom & pops honestly want me to stop breathin, I’m seein the streets teemin with heathens & evil demons, I can’t even call ‘em people anymore; hit the door, man I’m leavin, VERSE 3 6 o’clock, and already it’s smellin shitty; the alleys, the pretty people, the Tom’s, Dick’s & the Sally’s, Dick’s ring is on Sally’s finger, but Tom’s dick is in Sally When Dick’s workin overtime, business trippin to Cali, That’s aight, ‘cause Dick’s dippin his tip in a stripper’s honey pot, And between the two cheaters, neither one’s hittin the money spot, It’s funny, not really, how they callin me a freak When more than half of all these bastards does shit they wouldn’t repeat, Keep a clean slate for just such an occasion; try to avoid the subway, Since I fell asleep and woke up in a bad place, but fuck it; The gun shop’s just one stop away, and what’s the worst that can happen? ‘Cause I ain’t nappin; not today… HOOK Man, I can hear ‘em screamin; gimme reaon not to release them & free them, From they sleeping dead; open up they eye sockets, leakin red, Keep my head pointed toward the cement; find no meaning in the cracks, And I swear I feel ‘em breathin down my back VERSE 4 Came to the station, paid for my ticket, swayed through the gate, Aimed towards a brother tryin to ask me for some change; Gave him money, said I’m lookin for the same, ‘cause I’m sick & tired of hearin all these voices in my brain… “Brotha, just open up ya eyes, peep the truth from the lies, Remember that milk up in ya fridge? You know it used to be straight, Remember them fishes in ya bowl? You know they used to be alive, And with minimum effort, you know you’d have some clean plates.” One look in his face, and I could tell he saw their faces, No need to tell him nothin ‘cause I know he saw it too, My one true brother in the midst of all the faceless, And at that very moment, I knew what I had to do… HOOK 4 Man, I’m callin’ it an evenin, ain’t no reason, please believe I ain’t indecent, I just hear the train comin, so I guess my train’s leavin, No more weepin all alone, starin at the phone, reachin, No more creepin, just the sound of brakes screechin, Spoke my piece and now it’s…peace. “SO LONG…” END
