1.	0 Appetite for Construction (Remix) 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Sitting outside Looking at others On their own stoops Picking up guns So they can practice How to shoot But shoot at themselves For petty crimes Instead of for protection From these times I hear the corners chime Cause on them I see peeps Slangin nickels and dimes Instead of planting seeds To grow for harvest time They just smoking weed But then call them trees N!ggas please Living hand to mouth And think they ballin Jeez Wearing others names on their chest It’s appalling But I guess If our nation were a car It would be stalling Cause right now Its like the Pyramids are falling So who got build em back Instead of just balling hard Bugattis and Cadillacs And slanging shit like that I stack against that shit Like meth I fill in cracks Just call me brick and mortar I’m in order Plug in the cord To feed My Appetite for construction Appetite for construction Appetite for construction The appetite is tremendous So I’m gonna spend this Building for life Since others are trying To end this Instead of living scared Hearing impaired Imma grow the locks In my hair I know you stare But I don’t care Cause my world Just ain’t over there The thoughts from My mind went bang And all over the world Is the result of my brain Cause I’m a brother you Can’t sleep on Or try to cheat on Some of us You even beat on I do damage With your minds In my hand But the average ones Looking at me Don’t understand I’m Sirius So therefore You know that I care for The suckers that ain’t sane Pulling real triggers The triggers triggers Yo! And that’s just the way It gotta go Even so But any time That the minds Wanna leave I got 42 written On my sleeve And its ready to stop wars Cause that’s what They’re here for I build up a million men And name them Moors And that’s a million As one that can Change with the appetite Cause we be rapping right So I had to create Leaders that ain’t In my presence Building up the essence Appetite for construction Appetite for construction Appetite for construction Appetite for construction Appetite for construction Check it out y’all In the house y’all So I can show and flow To let the people know So won’t you Ease on down To the yellow brick road To KMT And just let me Get in it Imma show you the results Of a capitalistic culture Since they just vultures First one I’m a current brotha With an attitude You best show respect Or God will Break your neck Second one We should be sexing In wedlock I’ll have to let You know when My son calls me pop Number 3 Im a spiritual fanatic I create power And the proofs In the static Number 4 Here’s what’s in store A sane type Brotha that can flow Hardcore 5th one Construction’s just begun I like to have fun But I still work For ONE Step 6 Hmmm it’s Kinda tricky Can’t forget that Some of y’all Are just Judas Don’t play K-A-Y-O-D-E Ot when you get to 7 You’ll be 6 feet deep Number 8 Our power is great Move in forefront Our square is at stake 9th one I gotta keep it raw The real deal to Follow is God’s law Last but not least I must keep it real Number 10 is my appetite to build

3.	2 When Shit Hit the Fan 02:41	lyrics	buy track
Prepare for the day When you have to stand On all 10 toes And live as a man Save for a rainy day And do all you can Cuz one day shit Gon hit the fan Prepare for the day When you have to stand On all 10 toes And live as a man Save for a rainy day And do all you can Cuz one day shit Gon hit the fan I got a message transmitting to all of the fellas Shit done hit the fan Better bring your umbrellas Writing’s on the wall Nobody gotta tell us Ignore the sloths talking They just jealous Politicians out here Being over zealous Others chasing chaos Peace is what I relish Law and order? Huh That sounds cool But it’s the codes that really rule So keep your head up and on a swivel Don’t be a fool and fall for the drivel Stay focused on your grind Shoot for the point Of our strong spirits That will anoint Prepare for the day When you have to stand On all 10 toes And live as a man Save for a rainy day And do all you can Cuz one day shit Gon hit the fan Prepare for the day When you have to stand On all 10 toes And live as a man Save for a rainy day And do all you can Cuz one day shit Gon hit the fan This is a message to All ethnicities What you gonna do Without electricity? Live in real time Artificial intelligence And that money Will be irrelevant Still save and Plant real seeds Let the sun and water Nurture those leaves Till the soil For what we need And fight hard For what we believe Have faith And build on facts Science answers questions Where belief lacks Don’t blindly follow All these hacks Regenerate Henrietta Lacks Prepare for the day When you have to stand On all 10 toes And live as a man Save for a rainy day And do all you can Cuz one day shit Gon hit the fan Prepare for the day When you have to stand On all 10 toes And live as a man Save for a rainy day And do all you can Cuz one day shit Gon hit the fan
4.	3 Do We Have a Plan? 03:20	lyrics	buy track
Do we have a plan To get out this mess Or are we in A new wild Wild West Do we have a plan To get out this mess Or are we in A new wild Wild West Kinda chilly outside It’s gettin kinda cold I put on my jacket But yo that’s getting old I gotta get my mask I gotta get two Making up another rhyme As I’m looking straight at you But keeping my distance At least 6 feet What are we doing for Two years on repeat Walking down the street Huh walking down the ave Making up a flow Everybody laugh But don’t laugh too hard Cause you’ll spray A bunch of mucus Up in my way I can’t go to the club Unless I wanna die Making up a rhyme and Tryna be fly People thinking it’s dope in these Until they start to sneeze Do we have a plan To get out this mess Or are we in A new wild Wild West Do we have a plan To get out this mess Or are we in A new wild Wild West It’s getting serious I can’t keep it funny Shit just got real back in 2020 The writing’s On the wall Been that way We had eyes wide shut Cashing checks to play Me? I kept my eyes wide open Amidst the fun Amidst the joking O2 depletion Some of us choking Whether from asthma Or second hand smoking We need a real plan Not just bitchin Can’t get out When Earth Is the kitchen The wealthy Have money But many are henchmen Ready to launch And detach The Lynch pin So forget the lynching From those in white hoods Penny pinching Do we have a plan To get out this mess Or are we in A new wild Wild West Do we have a plan To get out this mess Or are we in A new wild Wild West
5.	4 We Gon' Blame the Man? 03:43	lyrics	buy track
I don't think You all understand How serious this is man I start this out By offering No apologies For telling truths Proven by Anthropology No need to Offer me cosmologies Align the stars in my astrology I know what I'm doing Read my words So there's no misconstruing I'm reviewing The blasts From the past To create a new present So we can all have A brand new reverence That will surely last For generations And build us Some better nations With positive vibes On radio stations Pouring libations For participation From ancestors Yes! predecessors Who fought Their oppressors And sometimes Were the manifestoes Of very strong aggressors So learn from Their lessons Consider my suggestions Cause we know History is a weapon We got to keep stepping Flexing Checking mics Tell them We gone blame the man We could The one in the mirror Should Work to do what's good Regardless of the neighborhood We gone blame the man We could The one in the mirror Should Work to do what's good Regardless of the neighborhood I was supposedly free But the color of my skin Legally defines me In a place that was stolen From my past Ancestors of the red clay Still last But the rule of law is under The rule of thumb Of a bunch of criminals That wanted freedom Of their speech Rights to bear arms And noose necks Free to change the meaning Of holy texts With unholy hermeneutics JUST LET ME CLEANSE THIS ANGER FROM MY SOUL So we can do this My liver needs to heal Can't drink away the pain How does it feel? If I'm free doesn't mean I'll oppress But you scared that I'll flip this mess The indigenous ones Claiming stake on our home By splitting your wig With one to the dome But you're our distant cousins That were chiseled out of Caves in the frozen mountains The ones that created colored water fountains Bottlenecked gene pools That are jealous of our genetic dominance Our athletic prominence And our rhythmic swag Our very existence is How we brag And we don't even have to boast So i make a toast To all our predecessors That fought and died So we could be the host Of a better world wide That doesn't mumble When we rap That doesn't fumble When we clap And pick up the baton of leadership So Let's LEAD So Let's LEAD So Let's LEAD So Let's LEAD So in vain we don't bleed We gone blame the man We could The one in the mirror Should Work to do what's good Regardless of the neighborhood We gone blame the man We could The one in the mirror Should Work to do what's good Regardless of the neighborhood

When I was much younger My thoughts would capture Meaningful moments Of men being masters Standing so tall Godly in stature Now I’ve grown up Closer to the rapture Toe to toe Eye to eye With the masters As they grow I flow much faster Closer to the ether I realize that I’m a master teacher And the wise MLK and Malcolm X Never saw 40 But here I am Teaching little shorties Still alive At 45 Keep living And growing To strive for better Keep life flowing So we can grow Forever Our DNA can flow Together Learn the lessons That past masters Were stressing Freedom in our mind Start manifesting Take a stand For our freedom In any land Starts with the mind Its so simple So take care Of our mental Take a stand For our freedom In any land Starts with the mind Its so simple So take care Of our mental
