    Krismastime

    It’s Krismastime
    Get confetti
    Slug wile
    Midnight
    Fly heights
    Seeing worlds beam by beam
    Don’t be a revolutionary,
    Be a revolution.
    Rise of the mind
    Ascension time
    Compassion is the fashion
    Send the bird
    With the scrolls in his talon
    Falcons mean business
    Business means fun
    How to game the game and crush a few outmoded systems at the same time?
    Don’t ask me
    I just twerk here
    Moonless
    Goonless
    Step free
    I exited the mind
    Fundamental
    Chronic got me healing
    Got me happy
    Got me rapping
    Why wait for daytime
    Moment is right now
    How long can it stretch?
    Til we spun and run out all the decks
    Oh, there goes the hex.
    3rd eye runs shit
    Left eye got infrastructure inside
    Yes it’s Styles Time
    Rhyme spree
    More Eiffel Tower than plastic marquee
    Good vibes
    No end of faces
    To clock the other times
    Moment is iconic
    We all got cured by bubonic
    Thanks gang
    8 billion
    We got one thing in common:
    Wuhan

    KUNG FOOL
    •••••••••••••••

    So you think you’re the Master?
    Meet the Master of Disaster:
    Bring your whole crew!
    I’ll just steal all your shoes.

    I’ll shoot the boot with cold Krug.
    Wised up? Tooled up?
    Tribed up? Bribed up?
    Congratulations. You wanna medal too?
    Bring the Joker & I’ll see you with a Fool.

    Flying daggers. Kung Foolish matters.
    Maddest of the hatters. The Heinz, it splatters.
    I raise hell like Kane. I belong to no name.
    While you convert, all I do is subvert.
    I win every time ‘cos I don’t spend a dime.

    Don’t give a fuck about bread and I don’t count heads.
    Think you’re sleek? Meet my pet.
    He’s scaly as fuck, and his name’s Cryptique.
    He’s half rat crossed with snake and, boy, he likes to eat meat.

    Follow my moves, you’ll learn a thing or two.
    You won’t learn three cos I don’t rock the trinity.

    Every third step I make, I make to fake.
    My views are pure illusions, my cares just grand delusions.
    I’m here to fuck with you – and your whole crew too.
    Group think ain’t my thing.

    I belong to no one; I believe in nothing.
    I’m the void to your ‘droid.
    My favourite word is ‘destroyed’.
    Apple? Google?
    I prefer Bimbo and noodles.

    I already notched your plays, yesterday.
    You can’t step to me, you can’t get to me.
    I’m nothing but a trickster. I exist to magimix ya.
    Take your algo’s and blow.
    Shove ’em where the wind don’t go.

    So you think that you’re a hacker?
    You reckon you’re a tracker?
    Say hullo to the
    Grand Felonious Hijacker.
    Pirate from the seas,
    I eat up land like fried cheese.

    I already left this planet.
    Only returned to throw a spanner in it.
    I chill with snakes and street skeez’s.
    I suck up ozone like Febreze.

    I sleep in ironed sheets,
    Keep my mind firmer than concrete.
    I guess I’m some sorta wizard?
    A devil, yes. And a monitor lizard.

    All I do is react, that’s how I counteract.
    I preplay your grooves.
    I break vinyl in two
    When I’m a nasty mood.

    Hold your Aces, keep the whole pack.
    I fold green tables just to kick back.
    No, I don’t always play.
    I live to remove obstacles in my way.

    My homeboy is Godzilla.
    My mentality’s guerilla.
    I’m free like a condor.
    Once I start, I want it all.

    There’s no logic to my game,
    I just like to go insane.
    I choose madness over method,
    From time to time.

    I like to get hunch backed,
    Never had to throw a punch back.
    All I care about is winning.
    My day job’s all about sinning.
    Victory?
    It’s priced into my rhymes.
