[MENES]
see the joy when you born ; but we all die,
in a sense we die twice when we found life
i been doing bad, true, but its all right
when i left the womb.. it was a long night,
sentimental mentionings, mental plains when penciling
these ink blots atonement for everything im entering
new era dwella, just another century
from out the caves loungin in the tomb, its where im meant to be
seen-another-one-buried today, its an odd life
i must say purified thoughts
cold north barbarians, carved upon a rock
sacrificial stone with yo name, take a soul
carry it wit me ; im barely at 30
seen enough to live 100 lives the harridan merchant
carrion searching, for another meal the next day
thats why we have graves, and i fade away.
[ White Lotus ]
All ages of poetry just like a Bad religion
I’m Fly like Ghost Dogs messenger pigeon
Temples of Wisdom a Hundred Foot High
Loose leaf Falls when summer would die
Fly Agaric my style of sharpness in harvest
West winds Blow Clouds over the Forest
Magic potions in storage time to Forage
I’m An in house producer without the mortgage
He got the Juice Orange ,fresh squeeze
Run one instrumental now two next week
Jewels Fall like Dead leaf flow like goldschlager
Spent many days constructing dope proverbs
A New Hope Lost for Dead Rebels all was planed
R2D2 ......display another Hologram
Castles Fall from Sand constructs of time
Pass around star dust like you hated your mind

[ MENES ]
Pray at the Idol ; the ice queen melody prepared for recital
passively freeze hearts, make you suicidal
but no need to do it yourself she slow your vitals
to the point it crawllls, draawwing on your breath
her tapestries and mantles, curios collects
better watch yo step... when walking in the palaces ;->
an ice born kingdom, drinking blood from chalices
goblets of souls, it taste better cold
but warm you up before she cast you out to the wolves
extension of her, like spires born from hail
even the strong die, no one will prevail
not even the queen herself, its a bitter end
the tears freeze before they leave her chin, from within...
you poor peasants lost it, thought that i had found it
the code, the key, the ritual, compounded,
my findings were unfounded... navigation grounded
the stars have aligned, but thats a bad omen
a horror movie based in the cold parts of hell
where she wanders mystically and mutters to her self
"the next one to wade through, ima flay you,
subzero the flesh, so you always stay true"
preserved in the museum, or mausoleum...
her art form lives forever like Amun-Ra
travels across the sky in a frozen boat
and never felt no sorrow except when she was born
LOOK-TO-MY-EYES, and I LOOOOK TO YOURS
I SEE A KINGDOME FLOURISHING, INSIDE OF SNOWSTORMS

[ Kauz ]
[ MENES ]
Stand by ;
in terms you watch yo man die
sideline, outlined with airtime,
rhymes fly with kauz, on the A side->
now you one below, no sonogram
image faded, emcees lacerated
sanguinated, under church bells remembered
just barely.. keep a suit in the trunk
never know when a funeral come, or who just left
mad nervous, see it in my rhyme book,
each letter drip and every page stick...
the word world work in mysterious ways
and thats-why-i-ingest at a furious pace...
no-love-lost, there was only ever hate
so theres nothing left to lose but theres something hear to gain
rock the decibles in yo head, til you a vegtable
i got no peace in my heart, its all/only the dispensible
i give what i take, im simply always skeptical
and nothings ever as it seems its two dimensional

[sea/swordz]
the ‘pearance of a vortex
what is this that you behold
psionic glitch
the sky begins forming
in a pool below
stars
remnants
satellites
and emissaries of deities
this tear
believed to be a hole
from which
nefarious creatures leak
it’s not quite as it seems
it’s just these fools
don’t understand these things
once again
we’ll see
human perception of the planets change
light unravels
twists
like swirling vines
out of a blinding shadow
i know it’s menacing as fxck
but this is just how kaiju travel
a labyrinth cups his kratom
with all seven palms
experienced
and still spills the shit
as if it’s not a big deal
‘cause he’s filthy rich
his spirit shifts
the image in his mirror
disappears
as his mind melds
with spiders melting
on a psychedelic pilgrimage
[7rinth]
I asked STUDENTZ what he does he sly grinned and said just this
wake up from nightmares, feel doomed and get dusted
son ain't no average dreams I wake up physically affected
foggy headed, bugging out before I eat my breakfast
he dig through dollar bins while drinking vodka til he got the spins
catch a off putting psychotic grin when you box with RINTH
you said yous ill im not convinced
this whole world backwards like an ostrich limb
sleep deprived akashic downloading in awe with my mouth open
my dextro palace in the sky feels like my house floating
Im staying raw you fucking brown nosing
in streets with psychedelic demon cats is where im found roaming
wow im ageless, spend days in outer space kid
in a crowded place im smashing head with flower vases
RINTH is ancient, I escapes yet others didn't make it
still trapped inside this black cat mansion simulation
[MENES]
pourin puzzle labyrinth, pace inside the obelisk
a maze that prays itself into prominence, sarcaphagus...
tomb daze mirage a grave in the garage
a place that look so odd, when swordz reach out the floor...
its us four the forest -> but okami in a slumber ->
swayin nooses with your name, Anti locked in the robot,
Know knot ; pages fall from ceiling holes of buckshot
a digital world, i vomit code and blood-clots
pixelated minstrels in the midst of all these pistols->
mind melting off the zoomz, to much room within my mental
snow-fall-on my frame, im still the same as ever be
and tragedy beset the birth of every single banditry..
koala balcony... magic furs and falconry
actually its alchemy, taught throughout the galaxy...
we all stuck on a ship with no gravity
where black cats also blink in and out statically

[MENES]
UST I LEARN I LEAVE
ACHIEVE, WHATS NEEDED, TO BE, I SEE
ITS WE, AND US, AND ONLY, FOR THIS,
ALONE, AGAIN, IN MY ZONE, PRETEND....
BUT WE ALL CONNECTED->
SO I KNOW WE ALL AFFECTED
and when infected
my blood brothers feel dejected...
receptive to every piece of this earth
i feel it inside me with every breath of this curse
so i weep when she rains
and i scream when she pains...
i sleep when she dreams
and i hate when she strains...
its all the same in this place of hate
i cant relate to chains that we born to break..
were more than this,
and i hope that you know, to live slow
along side this continuous flow..
it all ends contradictive to what they say
death is not selective, any day could be your day..
i stay in a meditative state, thats a lie
i constantly shift change and berate
i want to pass the blame, but it resides in me
and at times thats the hardest place to see

E EATER
UNCONTROLLED AMEBA
SINGLE CELLED IN MY DARK ROOM, PLASM THEATER
hangin like a lampost or some old sneakahz!
chillin windimere dreams, smoking with some preachaz
lickin off glocks your girl in dirty features
watch her face change when i eat her,
literally.
cannibal ox
pharaoh and the merchant in irrational thought...
im passing the torch, witch on a steak,
witchitah lake, wiccans are great
turn em over wonder which path will i take..
the dark or the light, oshawa nights, ominious plight
crack in the base, max in a safe, that means i keep my drugs - stacked in a vase...
water my soul, planets of gold... watch them all sold
for a meager return, im eager to learn, but stay hard headed like a geezer on sherm
razors from tongues ; amazing + 1, the killing fields [just] a mic booth or any stage that im on
most of us gone ; the steady have stayed, i loved this art for everyone of my days
regardless of pay, i touch hearts and my goals are attained, or when flippin ya brain
electrical sparks, gripping the spine, creatures traverse/travel the wild,
thats what you feel when i rhyme, the center of time, ode to the old and sublime
a victumfilled crime, when Mr.Ra speaks, all should s
I must say though,
symbiotic aquatic the robotik
hypnotik the flow faucet the most who dont got it...
chaotic and narcotic he caustic and lack an object
monliths in waters at the bottoms of his process
neurotic the funky psychotic yawning in the tropics,
catastrophic melodic.. an island of harmonics..
line after line his pain is chronic
symbolic to the waters rising in venice
his mind is the menace....
his body just a vessel to deliver a message
and every sentance intertwined with an intricate lesson...
intimate sessions, you feel his soul in the room
it wraps your neck and puts a hole in your tomb
exumed mummified jewelz
unda a redmoon, poetic sasoon
and the bedlam of past looms
avalanche moods and everest stoupes
the essence of doom

[ MENES ]
ARE YOU HEAR TO GET LIVE IN THE AREA?
TO TURN THE PARTY OUT IN THE NIGHT LIKE a DEATH CULT
MY ONLY VESSEL ; IS HIP-HOP UNITY
I'LL STARVE YOU EMCEES, AND MACERATE COMMUNITIES
LACERATE EVERY THROAT CONSTRUCTING LACK CORDSS,
WITH NO SUBSTANCE LIKE A DUMB BLOND CRACK WHOREEE
THAT CATCH MORE LAYUPS THEN A BACKBOARDDDD IN FASTFOWARD
YO...
WHAT IM SAYIN IS ITS LOST, AND BROKEN DOWN TO PIECES OF THIS ART
I GATHERED WHAT I COULD, IT WAS SCATTERED VERY WELL
A FRANKENSTEIN BOSS, and THE MONSTER IN ITS WELL ->
WATCH IT CLIMB OUT, I FIND ROUTE, I RHYME BOUT, I LINE DOUBT,
MY FLOWS SPROUT, NO DROUGHT, WORDS SPOUT, BIRTH CLOUT
I DOUBT YOUR LINES COULD EVER THREAD OUTSIDE OF MINE
IN COMBINATION WITH A COMPILATION FROM MY SPINE,
MY ENTIRE BEEEING WAS PLACED INSIDE OF EVERY HYMM->
WATCH THEM SING; ANGELS PLAYED A TUNE THAT WAS SO GRIM,
EVEN FALLEN ONES BEGAN TO CRY AS IT BEGINS
IMMINENT ; THE CHOSEN ORDERS GIVEN WITH HIS PEN
SIGNED MY NAME CASUALLY, AND WAITED FOR THE END
IN A THROAN,MADE OF BONE, REACHING TO THE CEILING DOME,
THIS-ARTFORM-HANGS-FROM-A-ROPE, ALL ALONE
HERE TO BREATH NEW LIFE THROUGH THE LUNGS WITH THESE POEMS
WHILE THESE NEW WRAPPERS RIGHT ; AND STRANGLE MICROPHONES
ITS A GOD DAMN SHAME ; THERES NO WEIGHT IN THESE GAINS
and THERE INK WAS MADE OF PIXIE DUST, ITS FAIRLY ALMOST STRANGE
BUT INAUDIBLE, YES, DEPLORABLE TO HEAR
THATS WHY THE FOURFATHERS ARE FEARED REPRESENT THIS WHOLE YEAR...

Don’t so you will but you wont...
sooo you will never live a life...
all of it tends to be a lie...
and all of it seems to go by...
no matter what it is that you try...
nothing ever seems to go your way...
plenty have come, and they have gone...
and everything you say says tah stay...
but will what you will and it wont..
i can but i never really cared...
i hate i was never really there....
away on my own all alone...
its sad but its true and its here
its gloom and its doom that is near
thats how ive been since young
a breath turns to death so clear
the winter falls into the spring
thawing everything that you bring
sawing at my calm it appears
that age was nothing but a spinning year
....seasons they change yes they do
all seasons they change with you
the seasons reflect what we do
all seasons seemed to end with you
