[Intro] [Skepsys] Yo what it is? It's Skepsys in this bitch Eastside poet [Verse 1] [Skepsys] The gun smokin' where the words goin' unspoken Like the look in shorty's eyes said her cunt soakin' From the smell inside the air you know the bud potent Out here frontin' like this bullshit goes unnoticed So hear the screech of the tires This ain't the devil's music it's the one holdin' his feet to the fire Like Mohamed Bouazizi on the block I use my father's vodka to create these molotovs My youth's truth got my blood on the rocks We was forced to grow up fast and deal with shit that's hard to watch Now I can't help but laugh at all the rats that was gassin' Let 'em travel with they baggage when I should've sent 'em packin' But that's the way it goes down Tryin' to learn from my mistakes while a couple doors down Somebody hit a lick, I'm scared to leave my home now But watch me flip and do some shit that y'all had thought I've grown out Oh, you thought I'm grown now [Hook] Yo, 'cause my times of the essence Trial and error, I abide by the lessons The madness just coincide with the method So I let my indiscretions give rise to my legend Yo, 'cause my times of the essence Trial and error, I abide by the lessons The madness just coincide with the method So I'm caught up in the struggle that's disguin' the blessings [Verse 2] [Skepsys] You better act fast, blasts from flashbacks Could lighten up the night like stealth fighters in Baghdad So learn from, but never dwell, where your past at And try to strike a balance with a match and a gasmask [Ziggid] Hang up your headphones and put your mic away 'Cause guess who's back with Zoetic Minds that's a give away I'm a product of a generation brought up From the bottom singin' songs in my fuckin' closet [Skepsys] Yo, check the big picture, this is for the nitpickers When you face the music your whole shit will get disfigured Chasin' buzz talkin' about how you don't mix liquor Better find a paddle while you ridin' up the shit's river [Ziggid] You get slapped two times, one smack from each member One for the offense then commence for the avenger You straight disrespect my presence you peasants Ain't got time to fuck with you 'cause my time's of the essence I thought y'all motherfuckers knew this lesson [Hook] [Verse 3] [Ziggid] Stop this track a minute I compose these beats with and write these flows with more heat than your stove's limit More efficient and concrete, and yours isn't I'm more committed than a crime scene is fingerprinted Results are back in the lab, a pen and pad Madman makin' a grab, just tryin' to take a stab at it Sometimes I feel like I'm losin' my mind while writin' these rhymes And now I'm glad that my booth is padded Yeah that's right and we're back at it Makin' these hits so here's another fuckin' classic If you see us last then it's probably just a tactic Just wait untill the album is ready and wrapped in plastic, That's it, It had to be this way It's not a matter of opinion when we're winning on an average day Aye, imagine what would happen if Zoetic went platinum Keep slappin' these beats and we just may I said, we just may [Hook]

[Intro] [Skepsys] Let's keep it real This goes out to you [Ziggid] And you [Verse 1] [Skepsys] It's something about the way his momma kissed him The way his smile shine though the odds is against him And I'm the cause of the trauma that afflict him Ignorin' the disease 'cause I'd rather stop the symptoms Before I crack this cheap vodka Just understand nobody in this world can ever stop ya But which lesson is he holdin'? Doin' as I do or my words that was golden? And his sister's so beautiful She represents the dirt and hard work under my cuticles 'Cause I just love how she always outspoken Dispellin' every notion of our motherland's culture Though my actions may not amount To quite what they should, take my words in account My speech slurred when I tell you that I'm proud But I mean every word without a shadow of a doubt [Hook] "And you don't stop...And you don't stop" "Like this son" (x4) [Verse 2] [Ziggid] I'm tryin' to find a peace of mind while I recover Got engaged on the steps and promised to always love her That night, saw the Facebook page of my older brother Sayin' he was gone, I immediately called my mother I broke down once I heard the tears were comin' from her His wife eight months pregnant, I couldn't muster My brother never knew his pops And now his son will feel the same, I blame this vicious cycle, it don't stop Eight months passed, woke up in a hospital bed My wife-to-be next to me 'cause she never left I saw the news that morning about a man who was hit And then my phone rang, I got a call I'll never forget "Hello" You see, that man on the news was my best friend Four days prior he was gettin' fitted as my groomsman But with the two of them gone we still tied the knot Because life goes on and it don't stop [Hook] [Verse 3] [Skepsys] Was ego bruisin' like goin' from kilo movin' To pushin' dime bags 'cause you like a primo to me And I see you on that bullshit you doin' I used to clown on you for that pulpit you flew in Two kids - we were so young and innocent Both came up around some drug dealer pitchin' shit And I was the first one to cop it You shitted on your boy, now you the one that can't stop it And damn near smoked yourself stupid We never really did know who your real crew is Word is bond kid, I ran into your mother And felt her pain when she said I'm 'posed to be your brother I wondered if she know about your snake shit But she a queen and her heart's already breakin' Won't be the one to tell her to stay strong So get your mind right, hope she ain't got to wait long [Hook] [Outro] [Ziggid] R.I.P. Real D, Zoetic Minds Rest in peace, brother [Real D] And don't worry about it neither I just had to take a breather, peace

Comfort Zone 02:51
[Intro] We say shit like “love me at my worst” But that’s only because we scared to do better Comfort Zone [Verse 1] Connected vices, but never could picture you lifeless You paid the cost for memories that I figured were priceless your mom’ll never see her son again I put the bottle down somehow you couldn’t buck the trend If only he was more like me what could become of him Is what they sayin’, I can’t take it, don’t you understand? It ain’t like he was wishin’ not to draw the line And yeah he slipped, but his intention wasn’t far from mine Ask yourself: What if you and your girl wasn’t beefin’? What if we didn’t come from tainted semen? What if you got the treatment that you needed? What if they didn’t rob your crib on that fateful evening? And what if I believed that you could beat it? Would it have ended different? We played with the same fire like we was Olympic torch bearers So don’t put me on a pedestal like medal winners I wish that I could bring you back, I just can’t level with ‘em [Hook] So what’s love when you only share vices? And what’s dubbed when you only pair crisis? All you do is plunge deeper where it’s stifling Get out your comfort zone, and be aware who bears likeness Said, what’s love when you only share vices? And what’s dubbed when you only pair crisis? All you do is plunge deeper where it’s stifling get out your comfort zone [Verse 2] I got visions and I laid ‘em out But I was trippin’ off some fantasies we playin’ out You fit the script because your past wasn’t straightened out And you got thick, I wasn’t mad how you cakin’ now Breakin’ down, I seen you hurtin’ figured I could save you I just wanted the upper hand and I could see it on the table Just a little older when you robbed me of my cradle Wasn’t the couple years it was more about your fatal attractions And how you couldn’t shed the baggage Of gettin’ two-timed, the competition was orgasmic That wasn’t my plan so all of a sudden You buggin’, thinkin’ gettin’ treated right is something you couldn’t stomach So you played me and the legacy is crazy Got the girl you wasn’t meant to be but now I’m shady Strike preemptively and put some shackles on my lady Controllin’, overbearin’, hope you lovin’ what you made me

Monster 04:27
[Verse 1] [Skepsys] Do you believe in monsters? And not the type that hide under the bed or the kind in the closet the darkness conjures What really wanders the human psyche? Walks the streets and looks just like and can act politely? But precisely the right time to strike, then he's right behind me It's inflicted mankind since its derived and likely That it survived to eventually take over your entire body And manifested from your thoughts and it's already plotting [Ziggid] Yo pause this shit, you called on me, you ain't caught me [Skepsys] Who is this and what the hell do you want from me? [Ziggid] Well that's easy, I'm you, stop being such a fucking dummy [Skepsys] You have to stop because I don't want to be... [Ziggid] Be a what? Some kind of monster that wakes up from his slumbering? Listen carefully, I got news for you, I come from you're suffering [Skepsys] M-m-my what? [Ziggid] Why you so scared for and stuttering? [Skepsys] 'Cause I'm trying to be human, shit [Ziggid] Yeah right, like that's some other thing We're just one and the same and I lie and wait for my summoning [Hook] [Skepsys] No matter how long he lays dormant The caged demon stays feeding on my torment He gets stronger as I start to feel weak So I decide to let him out, only temporarily But that backfires 'cause it's hard to retire him When everything he does is a reflection of me And my pain that I'll never let you downplay 'Cause even if he takes over I'll be left with all the blame [Verse 2] [Skepsys] Within the depths taking residence but misstep and then it's evident That you dependent when accounts showing deficits Or at the whim of your not-so-victimless fetishes That's when your moral high ground's getting jettisoned [Ziggid] Now stop, the opportunity's presented so I'm stepping in And you should welcome it, let's make this process effortless [Skepsys] Nah, Imma fight you to the death of me You'll never take me alive, I'll die before I let you have my legacy And this what I get for listening when they telling me That I should keep my friends further than my enemies [Ziggid] And now I've grown stronger than you'll ever be You fed me with all them fucking suicidal tendencies Your death wishes never had me feeling so alive You're dead inside and now it's time to have my role assigned [Skepsys] Well it's a rush letting you out to see the light But how I'm supposed to reel you in when my reflection's your disguise [Hook] [Verse 3] [Ziggid] I'm like the night when it falls 'Cause these aren't fingernails, stupid, these are claws So let's face it, I'm the thing that goes bump in the night with my bass kick The call's coming from inside the house so don't trace it [Skepsys] Wait a minute, no reason or placement The body's outlined with chalk on the pavement The date went on the stone in engraving What the fuck are you doing all day in your basement I saw the news, are you in trouble? [Ziggid] Well was there a witness statement? [Skepsys] Come on man, who could commit such a travesty? [Ziggid] Well maybe the other half of me is conflicted and prone to tragedy [Skepsys] You'd have to be mad to be adapted to this naturally [Ziggid] Just look back in the mirror and tell me who's trapped actually [Skepsys] Nah this can't be, that's not me [Ziggid] Well who the fuck you think it is? Z-I-double G? Well here's a clue Nancy Drew, no matter what you do It's too late 'cause the monster's already taken over you [Hook] [Outro] [Ziggid] The lesson of the story is we all have a monster in us And it's whether you choose to let that out or not But you can't judge 'cause we're all guilty

Head Trip 04:05
[verse 1] The table is set, accept what I have to make of this mess Suicidal music made it so that arrangin’ my death’s All the more simple, couldn’t miss, a noose strangles my neck And all my lyrics attest and show a range of regrets But that’s a copout, a box office knockout ‘Cause envious ones wanted my woman and the box out To get the rebound was kill me avoidin’ lockdown By settin’ up the scene Or was the culprit the one I gave a ring? Couldn’t figure what’s up inside of her mind She sat in silence hearin’ rumors and conspirin’ my Passin’ if that don’t convince ‘em it’s crime of passion Psych, I heard an ill joke and died laughin’ But now it’s on you obvious that was a rouse And so many investigated but they all got duped The perfect murder start debatin’ as to who had the clues But what good is what you know if it can’t get proved [hook] When it’s all said and done I’ll let you decide Don’t get taken for a fool and call it suicide ‘Cause we all got something that could possess us After they kill you it’s what they usin’ against us [verse 2] Obituary - I was pilotin’ the whip Fed up with my life and let it spiral in a ditch But don’t buy into the hype of what they lead to believe ‘Cause avoidin’ jail cell’s why they need to deceive But CSI failed to check the transmission Must’ve been mom dukes just sick of the fuckin’ distance She needed me when pops battled an addiction But I just disengaged like I was callin’ off a wedding So how I could blame her? I can’t in any case ‘Cause it was homicide the killers aint premeditate They broke into the crib lookin’ for the come up When I’m ‘posed to be out workin’ and that’s when it got all fucked up Called in sick, woke up to a couple robbers One smooth, the other one panicked, I caught a hot one Blaow! Took one right to the temple They put the gat inside my hands, wiped it of prints, now go avenge us Victims of the most fatal mistake See me at my wake feelin’ out of place, and wonder what my sealed my fate Look deep ‘cause I’m pointin’ to all the signs Speakin’ from the other side, embrace death and free your mind [hook] [verse 3] Sometimes I wonder why I ponder my last breath It must be ‘cause with every last breath I pass death Grim reapers, black roses, skull and bone crosses The ending of a process that we perceive through the scope of darkness Blind eye to the sufferin’ But never dry eyes in the crowds out there huddlin’ At the open casket and gravestones Selfish motives for emotions wishin’ they came home ‘Cause unbeknownst to the dearly departed They get invoked ‘cause the logic is we love creatin’ martyrs Either way we never get a fair shake Why you think we shed tears wailin’ as we take our first taste Of polluted air? bustin’ nuts few to spare Watch ‘em sink never swim never get to take a dip Those livin’ yo I pray for them God bless the dead but I aint finna try playin’ him [hook]
