Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to welcome you to (chill/C H I L L). You are cordially invited to sit down, roll up, or pack that good stuff you bought off a homie, ya know? My name is Baphomet MC and it is my pleasure to play and perform for you tonight; on the mic. This project is a personal one. One that I hope many of you can relate to. If not, vibe with the music. Get high to the music. ‘Cause truth is… We all have to gaze at the stars in order to find our footing on this planet which we call our home; our one and only… so c’mon The stars shine bright; I drift away Blind to the limelight; I drift away The stars shine bright I drift away sometimes Drift away sometimes. Let your mind drift away All I can do is dream Cause in my dreams the impossibilities of me Going to a certain place is possible it seems Necessary, imperative, or even logical it seems So when the light starts to fade to grey I plan my Great Escape, spark up, and Blaze Away Way out of the earth; I’m out in orbit Orchestrating rhymes, my style is gorgeous I’m wahln’, flawless, the most divine of the godless I strain to make hard shit your anus in flames to take soft shits Diarrhea: ya’ll got pink eyes and ears But I got so many Ideas that my mind appears To act with no restraint. You say your flow is great But everyone knows that shit’s bogus, mate I’m ending careers ‘cause ya’ll straight grilling I’m bringing death to my fears while I’m straight chilling So hear me out The stars shine bright; I drift away Blind to the limelight; I drift away The stars shine bright I drift away sometimes Drift away sometimes. Let your mind drift away

The sun bursts into flames But the air conditioning shelters me from Pain, all I know is comfort All I know is what it’s like to always have food on my plate Placed in a Nacirema Dream, O’ what I’d do to escape Cut loose and smoke massive amounts of hash and Travel the planet… broke until my casket I wish what I wrote mattered My picture perfect platform ‘round here is so standard *I’ve never had to face death… except For Omi and my Aunt and trust me they have more than my respect But the consensus is; without ‘real’ struggle… no purpose Which means all of my tears, here, are basically worthless Barred from bars, got a fear of making these verses “There’s no ‘true’ passion, at least some of your peers were raised in churches” ‘round here it’s inhumane, it hurts. It’s Not physical but it’s awkward, you always look away from a person They never say ‘Hi’, they always looking forward And they wonder why I stay high… always looking forward Poetic Purpose: I might’ve found it But these are suburban kid problems, not allowed to write about it Angels smother my sight since all I do’s sin Ungrateful ‘cause they gave me the Sun but I think it’s too dim I think it’s way too dim… *Sublimated lyrics Angels cry lullabies ‘Now’ is bleak, now I sleep still they sing, grow my wings can’t feel my feet, touch the sky

I will run Far away Towards the Sun I will escape I will run (No turning back) Far away (I will escape) Towards the Sun (Float to the Stars) I will escape (Burst into flames) Burst into flames, herbs get me hazed Razorblades drain my pain… the worst of my days Drag me down through the dirt and through the rain Put me down in the Earth all I do’s complain Yeah I got some marijuana The air is ganja: I’m baked blowing bowls The chains feel lighter, the lighter meets the green I’m at constant revolution for the Viper is the Queen She sits on her throne but she is not alone Her armies cast angels down deep they fall from Rome Roaming the road where I float naked Exposed: I fight the white rose which grows vacant I need some changes; rearrange this I feel amazing… soon she won’t control My thoughts desires, her empire is crumbling I will break these chains I will not die running I will run Far away Towards the Sun I will escape I will run (No turning back) Far away (I will escape) Towards the Sun (Float to the Stars) I will escape (Burst into flames) I will free my mind, I will free my mind That’s why there’s no payback I just don’t believe the lies I see inside her mind; witness weathered walls fall Stupid, stubborn, saying she’s got it together’s all wrong All I feel fear, fear is all I feel Even if it won’t disappear I will no longer kneel That’s why I have to lie that’s why I must distort The truth but only to you, you know that it’s true What am I supposed to do? Obey until I fucking die? And just grow wings in my cocoon to never touch the sky? You wonder why I try to hide and find some comfort high The Viper’s More Often Maternal but she can sing a Lover’s Cry So this [is] my Great Escape; a fallen angel’s fate Forced from my mother’s arms to fight the Viper face to face Release my inner fire; her empire is crumbling I will break these chains I will not die running I will run Far away Towards the Sun I will escape I will run (No turning back) Far away (I will escape) Towards the Sun (Float to the Stars) I will escape (Burst into flames) My fate is no longer predetermined… the horizons are clearer

She wanted to be a poet, she wanted to pursue her passion Maybe an English teacher or writer, she’d make it happen She’d dated creative people and a few were into rapping But with her parents restrictive, none of that was ever lasting Both conservative oriental, they saw in her more potential To take the promising legal route, her test scores essential Essential to succeed in the life they’d already planned for her Anything else, they felt, they’d closed the damn door More and more resent filled her battered soul She started hanging out with sketchy kids in tattered clothes Who felt the same they felt resent and had it grow So they escaped their fate by falling down the rabbit hole, yeah and she knew she wasn’t doing right Fall in with the wrong crowd and you’ll start losing life But she couldn’t the point and discontinued caring She’d rather enjoy life now than dance like a puppet for her parents It’s my dream you can’t take it away No matter what I will break these chains It’s my fate I don’t care what they say So I’ll start to plan my Great Escape Never stop dreaming, never stop writing Never give up, never ever stop fighting We all have stories, we walk different paths Some of us are doctors, some are skipping class Most of us are poor, some are getting cash Some of us are martyrs, most will never last I’m feeling trapped so this must be the Great Escape One morning she woke up in the dirt in the mist and rain She could see her breath in the cold; she tried to sit and strain Barely clothed but covered in scars she knew something was odd She could carry on even with the pain She didn’t know the Ledge until the Ledge gave in The light of her future to her front, the ghosts of her past adjacent Both paths had obstacles, the right one had more The left path had patience, but the right one had more Both her options had mirrors, both stored pain inside And as she struggled to see them clearer, the winds came alive The Thunder bellowed and its echoes made Angels cry Screaming; “You must move forward, this ain’t your day to die!” So she picked herself up, lifted herself up Nozomi gazed into the mirror and she saw her hazel eyes She began to cry, she was crying tears of joy She was silent no more, the world would finally hear her voice It’s my dream you can’t take it away No matter what I will break these chains It’s my fate I don’t care what they say So I’ll start to plan my Great Escape Never stop dreaming, never stop writing Never give up, never ever stop fighting We all have stories, we walk different paths Some of us are doctors, some are skipping class Most of us are poor, some are getting cash Some of us are martyrs, most will never last I’m feeling trapped so this must be the Great Escape

(Into Sunbeams) I am finding new limits. Doing hand-stands on sunbeams wondering; ‘If I should fall from these massive heights… is it worth it to build my wings on the way down? Or should I enjoy the adrenaline rush you get when your body is convinced you are going to die. (Blaze Away) Farmer: Yo Baph… what’s good dude? Quit being a B(itch). Let’s smoke a bowl though dude *chuckles*. Hit me back up, alright? Peace.

I see Angels hiding behind the dim sunlight Running… inhaling their Great Escape I know that I don’t want to but I know I need to Bleed through and break down in order to change my fate I fall further into nothing only to worsen the pain I ascend and Float to the Stars only to Burst into Flames

You sit down reading a book but you can’t Figure out the title though you know the name inside you ‘cause I think I do; I know the words in me Have been free… simply said ‘You know that They’re out There’ Giving you more weight to carry with a Doubt Stare All the people around you give you that Doubt Stare That you hate so much: They say you’ve changed ‘so much’ You respond with ‘This ain’t change; it’s luck’ Your eyes are open Theirs is obviously sewn That’s why you’re seeing things and They probably know They’re going to beat you until you can’t possibly grow ‘Why would I come to a place where the people just judge me?’ They’d feel better if they unjustly fucked me So don’t call me Kurt if I ask you to fuck me Let the healing process proceed sire. We’ll need your skin for the heir of your throne Your anal cavity’s ripped apart you’re finding it hard to breathe Your gentalia stings and you like that it’s hard to breathe The tingling in your neck, the blood rushing to your groin Is just your way of saying to give up on your garbage dreams All your forgotten schemes make up all your failures Your ritual self-infliction focuses on your genitalia Plus you’re loving the slits on your wrists Bent over; whipped like a bitch… you come out of it covered in shit Maybe you’re loving the clit, maybe you’re loving the dick Maybe it’s both sometimes I pray that it’s both Bend me over, find out, I want to get slain by the goat Reverse roles; eating dirt holes with innert foes I’m the baus that always has to work holes I’m the baus that would rather have the hole worked Cut the crap and grab onto control first Of all human souls that patrol across the known Earth Baph, why won’t you smoke another bowl? O’ Baph, you know it’s all under control Baph, why won’t you smoke another bowl? O’ Baph, you know it’s all under control Break, Break, Break, A Break in Thought Farmer: Ayo, yo… is Baph ok?! Aight, aight. Just want to make sure *chuckles* (Resolved & Resolute) Take in the darkness and the seize the day A break in thought, resolved; I am saved Welcome to my world; welcome to my pain The clouds are dreary; welcome to the Reign So, take in the darkness and seize the day A break in thought, resolved; I am saved
