B i o g r a p h y
 (by Sean Cooper )

Japanese turntablist and producer DJ Krush is one of the few island-nation throw-ups to be embraced by the global hip-hop world. Releasing material through Sony in Japan, Mo'Wax and Virgin in the U.K., and Axiom, Shadow, and A&M in America, Krush's heady brand of experimental, (largely) instrumental hip-hop has been praised by everyone from hardcore underground hip-hop 'zines like The Bomb to the speckless offices of Rolling Stone and Spin. Beginning as a bedroom DJ in the mid-'80s following the Japanese leg of the Wildstyle tour, Krush moved into mobile DJing, backing up rappers, and eventually solo production. Although his Japan-only debut freely mixed elements of R&B and acid jazz with the beefy breakbeat backbone of mid-tempo hip-hop, Krush's work has since tended more toward the abstract, applying heavy effects and sample manipulation to thick, smart breaks, layered, almost ambient textures, and subtle, inventive scratching. Krush came to larger acclaim in the mid-'90s through his association with the London-based Mo'Wax label, which released his Strictly Turntablized in 1994 and Meiso in 1996, both reissued stateside by A&M. While Turntablized is closer to a collection of DJ tools, Meiso is a return of sorts to his earlier work, including rappers such as Guru and CL Smooth on a few tracks and incorporating a wider variety of instrumental sounds and atmospheres. In addition to 1997's Milight, Krush also featured on a number of various-artists collections, including Mo'Wax's celebrated Headz, as well as Altered Beats and Axiom Dub (both out on Bill Laswell's Axiom label). Kakusei appeared on Mo'Wax/Columbia in 1999, followed by the mix albums Code 4109 and Tragicomic the next year.

Murder of Soul

(Feat. Carla Vallet)

Murder
Murder of Soul
Murder
Murder of Soul

Stop, stop
Making the murder of soul
Stop, stop
Making the murder of soul

Gran ciudad en desorden
Energia perdida en su dirección
Estrés arremolinándo en todas partes
Nervios rodeados por ruido
Autoridad, discriminación, violencia
Fines de semanas inundados de egoístas
Gente de ciudad despedazada
Y rota

For the children who will lead the future
This is a prayer
This is a prayer

Stop, stop
Making the murder of soul
Stop, stop
Making the murder of soul

Grande ville en désordre
Energie perdue dans sa direction
Stress tourbillonnant partout
Nerfs attaqués par le bruit
Autorité, discrimination, violence
Fin de semaine et remonté d'égoistes
Gens de la ville brisés
Cassés

For the children who will lead the future
This is a prayer
This is a prayer

Stop, stop
Making the murder of soul
Stop, stop
Making the murder of soul

Murder, murder of soul
Murder, murder of soul

Big city in disorder
Energy lost in its direction
Stress whirling everywhere
Nerves raided by noise
Authority, discrimination, violence
Weekends flooded with egoists
City dwellers shattered
And broken

For the children who will lead the future
This is a prayer
This is a prayer

Stop, stop
Making the murder of soul
Stop, stop
Making the murder of soul

Big City Lover

Cruisin' up and down
This avenue
Baby don't you know
My eye's on you
Hiding in your shadow
Gaze is kinda hollow
I just like your smile
Your hair is really wild

Big city lover
I take a chance on you
Big city lover
But I think I like your groove
Big city lover
Just keep that attitude

Didn't take too long
To get you home
Just to find your heart
Was made of stone
Drowning in my sorrow
Love don't like to furrow
Never thought you'd leave
My feelings on the floor

Big city lover
I don't want to hear your lies
Big city lover
Don't think I sympathize
Big city lover
You know I don't like to cry
Big city lover
You know - I changed my mind
Big city lover
I thought that you were kind
Big city lover
Now I just aint got the time

Big city lover
I don't want to hear your lies
Big city lover
Don't think I sympathize oh-no-no

Cruisin' up and down
This avenue
Honey don't you know
My eye's on you

Big city lover
Hell just might take a chance on you
Big city lover
I think I kinda like your groove
Big city lover
Just lose that attitude

Intro

Ah my man, DJ Krush in the house!

From Stash

Hey what's up this is Stash
And visually speaking
Basically I think the future,
Uhh, I think, substance will overpower hype
I think the past had way too much hype
Not a lot of people with substance
And I think we're gonna have a, uhh, a turn for the better
And y'know, things will be mad real
Thank you

Real

(Feat. Tragedy)

Niggaz don't you know? Never promised tomorrow man
Check it, check it *the next life*
Life life (yeah) right now for what it is before you lose that shit
For real man, shit can happen
in the blink of a fuckin eye you can lose your life man
Recognize that for real
You're never promise tomorrow, you know
Any nigga that you know, knahmsayin?
You never know about these things, word up

His body was cold yet his face remained calmly
He spoke differently, as if he was Godly
Layin on the ground the gat still in his clutches
Shoulda saw it comin but he smoked too many Dutches
Situation, made me sober as fuck
As he coughed up blood, tellin me he's stuck
Gunmen, drove off in a Yukon truck
Said a prayer for him, hopin that his soul was blessed
Cause my hands couldn't cover all the holes in his chest
His eyes told the story that his heart was diminished
The ambulence took about a hour, ten minutes
They didn't have to tell me that my Son life was finished
I guess his heart never knew the love that was in it
Yeah, word up, goin back

If your heart stop beating I'll go back in time
Make your heart beat again, real niggaz to the end
It's all about cash, and the diamond rings
Dedicated, cause real niggaz do real things
(repeat 2X)

Word up, real things, real niggaz do real things
Yo, movin on

Through his eyes I seen the next life flash in front of his
Cocked back the gat wonderin who the gunner is
The blood drenched in his Armani linen
I guess that's the karma of a thug when he sinnin
From the beginnin, I reminisce the younger years
When we were younger peers on the block pourin out beers
And now the tears, I can't stop from comin
I wanna bring it to this nigga blaze him while he runnin
It seemed stunnin, the way we started in the game
I never wanted, my Son dyin in this pain
Now the nigga that shot him I wanna find him and kill him
Heard he's a Willie and keep a bunch of killers with him
The Jake snatched him up so I just had to forget him
But on the low, if I ever see him, I'ma hit him
Yo when he bust a slug in the heart of a true thug
It's real love, this is what a real nigga does

If your heart stop beating I'll go back in time
Make your heart beat again, real niggaz to the end
It's all about cash, and the diamond rings
Dedicated, cause real niggaz do real things
(repeat 2X)

What yo, real niggaz do real things
Word up, real niggaz do.. real niggaz, yeah
Yo, 41st side, Queensbridge yo, yo

The words cut like a knife, ma your son was shot
Her mouth, wide open, seemed like her heart dropped
She fell to the floor with her eyes in shock
I was standin there stuck off the words I said
Worst thing to tell a mother that her son was dead
Shoulda knew what love is, 'fore he learned what a thug is
Now he left his kids to be raised by they mothers
From the cradle to the grave we was like brothers
Went to same schools and fucked the same bitches
Pumped on the same block with the same snitches
Burnin lye on the roof, talkin bout riches
And I remember, when we was both five percenters
Goin hand to hand, gettin bent, crashin renters
And now the end is, justifyin all the means
That's just the story when you're dyin out in Queens
and it's real, word up, yo, yo, yo, yeah, yo

If your heart stop beating I'll go back in time
Make your heart beat again, real niggaz to the end
It's all about cash, and the diamond rings
Dedicated, cause real niggaz do real things
(repeat 2X)

Yeah, Capone-N-Noreaga still my niggaz
Even if you don't get no bigger
Finsta, Crash, presedential
Confidential, fuck it, yo, yo, what?
Japan rules, foreign exchange, how we do, yo
Begins, world currency
The way the dollar bends, and it haunts me
It wants me it traps me, in the hole
Reachin for my soul, fuck it, yo

If your heart stop beating I'll go back in time
Make your heart beat again, real niggaz to the end
It's all about cash, and the diamond rings
Dedicated, cause real niggaz do real things
(repeat 2X)

From tragedy

To me there ain't no love out there,
Y'know what i'm saying
Everybody.. Everybody just like robots right now,
Like zombies ain't no love out there
I think the future gon be a scary thing
But y'know, gotta get ready for it, y'know what i'm saying
If you, if you ain't trying to get ready for it then just get high, get big, y'know what i'm saying and let it come or go - whatever
That's my fucking philosophy on the future

Listen

(feat. Shawn J. Period)

Listen, listen, listen...

From shawn j. Period

Alot of things are getting worse and they will
Get worse, you know even more so it-it's more
This thing where, uhmm, i can see people,
Alot of people are just caught up in, in the
Wrong things y'know and when it's time for this,
This physical pain to end, alot of people won't
As i believe y'know make it to happen, y'know
What i'm sayin' and hopefully god will and i
Will, y'know but, all i could say is that i'mma
Work hard just like all the people that's around
Me and just anybody out here whose positivity
Just to work and spread this, y'know because
Positive overcomes negative.

(positive overcomes negative)

Supanova

 (feat. Finista Bundy)

From me it was created
To me it shall return

Yo this world's gone mad,
But i see my way out
Make moves with most high
Eliminate all doubts
If it's not in my possession
Wasn't meant to be mine
Just walk the righteous path
And keep my mentals refined

My father got my back
And that's the way i'm gonna keep it
Decease is the spell -
--- cower weakness
Compete this, come to understand
That we've been fans and romanced
Before - this summer =jam=
Yeah we cramped too, knowledge - universal
<--->
Without rehearsal
We set the curfew
Meant(???) --- hit the exit
'Cause we perfected
That's hypernex
You can't flexe with
Get the message
We knockin' niggas offa cliffs
No truth ---
--- brothers got gifts
That uplift and enlighten
While you busy gripening living for excitement
We in the rip rightening(???)
Tighten this
That might just break the ice
Fuck the rat race
It's time to live life
We display more sense for the ladies and the gents
They feel our sound and stand down like immigrants
But i know the have
That's why we chose the righteous path
We struggle for now but in the end we get the last lap

When we finesse that man(???)

Yo this world's gone mad,
But i see my way out
Make moves with most high
Eliminate all doubts
If it's not in my possession
Wasn't meant to be mine
Just walk the righteous path
And keep my mentals refined

Life's a struggle so i settle with the bull
Niggas pullin -.- the brothers out to keep their bellies full
It's time to bust --- grapes
And show the beneficial like a prime-time tape / take
And shake the figure make the righteous way
Motivate with straight multiply by the guards
It ain't hard
To shine on your boulevard
Because your mind is like the lamp with a switch you need to pull hard
And make a move for the better
Cause next to my father, yo there is no com-petitor
The editor, to the book of life, shine life, to make you move right

Yo this world's gone mad,
But i see my way out
Make moves with most high
Eliminate all doubts
If it's not in my possession
Wasn't meant to be mine
Just walk the righteous path
And keep my mentals refined

Yo this world's gone mad,
But i see my way out
Make moves with most high
Eliminate all doubts
If it's not in my possession
Wasn't meant to be mine
Just walk the righteous path
And keep my mentals refined

What sense does it make to forsake your father's teachings
<--> at night you move like raven <--->
Put a carry cover from these days to take a breath
We sure to endure, bring more, keep it pure like breast - milk
Nigga got you covered like a quill
We come in tight
Foundation <...>
My in-depth <...>
Got japanese connects
The methods we select keep us slipping from the rest

You can try and sidestep and move with caution,
But you can't ex-cape what a waste to face you,
Let excuses roll till too late to debate,
Ya place to be erased like chalkboards took for granted
Even if you panick, vocals strong like granit
Spurt energy too hot for you to stand it
When it comes to microphones f.b. Commanded

Yo this world's gone mad,
But i see my way out
Make moves with most high
Eliminate all doubts
If it's not in my possession
Wasn't meant to be mine
Just walk the righteous path
And keep my mentals refined

Yo this world's gone mad,
But i see my way out
Make moves with most high
Eliminate all doubts
If it's not in my possession
Wasn't meant to be mine
Just walk the righteous path
And keep my mentals refined

This world's gone mad
Yo this world's gone mad
This world's gone mad
Yo this world's gone mad but i see my way out

This world's gone mad
Yo this world's gone mad
This world's gone mad
Yo this world's gone mad but i see my way out

Yo this world's gone mad,
But i see my way out
Make moves with most high
Eliminate all doubts
If it's not in my possession
Wasn't meant to be mine
Just walk the righteous path
And keep my mentals refined

Yo this world's gone mad,
But i see my way out
Make moves with most high

From DJ Cam

Futur
C'est dur de parler du futur
Parfois le futur fait peur
Certaines personnes ont peur du futur
Parce que le futur c'est imprésivible
Il y a beaucoup de gens qui aimerait savoir
Ce qui va se passer dans leur vie
Mais bon moi je pense qu'il ne faut pas savoir
Qu'il faut laisser faire les choses
Et je pense que le futur sera plein de bonnes choses
Et heu, et voilà
Et que, il est très positif
Et que, il faut,; il faut attendre
Et que nous réserve t'il et ben
Paix et bonheur, voilà

Shinjiro

(Feat. Mos Def)

Mos Def :

? Got the sound, you know the vibe baby
And DJ Krush he get down, word up you know the vibe baby
Yeah, and ? Get down, word up you know the vibe bay
But Mos Def keep the crown, representin Brooklyn, you know the vibe yo

From all borders, doorways and gates
Resurrection draws near, mankind awaits
When you're livin in this world you got to survive
Shaitan is lookin on alert, attackin from all sides
Witness before all eyes, the evidence of unseen
The power past the comprehension that controls all things
The battle fought by good and evil is a real contest
It is the outcome of the struggle that we play context
To all sets sections cruddy clicks crews and clans
Gilgreens to Badlands, jump up, to understand
I'm just a man, not the univeral architect
We tread the face of this heavenly place, and show respect
Tokyo, raise your hands, where you at?
Osaka, raise your hands, where you at?
?*Mos Def says something in Japanese I don't understand*?
DJ Krush Mos Def on the touch, we let it fly
I send my, salaam to my, entire squad
Meiso hard, wherever you are, stay on your job
Strugglin hard, to overcome the perils of life
We writin rhymes on enemy lines to shine light
Stay in meditation to keep the head right
Spreadin wings like heavenly things, we take flight
Flight flight flight flight flight flight flight, ha ha

Everything gon be alright (2X)
And you got to believe
(repeat 2X)
Everything gon be alright (2X)
I said you got to believe (2X)

Yo bust it baby
Me and Krush politickin buildin on this money mission
? Somethin so I had to stop and listen
It's time for ever tickin, my gift for-ever thinkin
I'm tryin to get mine cause Son it's here for the gettin
Allah's provision, will help us in the providential
My pad and pencil, will transcribe the elemental
The raw essential, the South bound resedential
The pure and simple, to resonate in your mental
I flash a dimple, my ? Shine like precious metal
Left the rah rah livin alone, about to settle
Fast act tryin to go slow down, and save your petrol
Cause the beat don't stop, like yellow cabs in the metro
Rejoice your verse to Earth, as the verbs connects
This is a daily operation like birth to death
And I burst the breath, yep, as a so-called vet
I've orchestrated designs while they slept, quiet as kept
Everything that you heard in advance is just a glance
Of the landscape, furnish we ?Crops? And props till
Sunsets and ?Tree-dots, back jobs? Of pure skill
At night, I do right, to excite, what truth reveal
Got to believe, that the Most High I see
Every degree, of this three-see-ix-to-e
We maintain Son and carry on officially
From troubled projects to the shores of Tripoli
I speak prolifically, I write reciprocally
Transmit upliftedly, it sounds terrific G
Allah has gifted me, with great ability
To speak to my beloved, and make em all love it
Refined rugged, a product of the ghetto public
Allah is the King of the world, we just subjects (2X)
Allah is the King, Allah is the King and you know

Everything's gon be alight (2X)
And you got to believe
(repeat 2X)

You know the vibe baby
Everything's gon be alright (2X)
(repeat 2X)

Yo bust it baby

Mind Games

(John Lennon / Feat. Eri Ohno)

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla

Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower you got to let it grow

So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games together
Projecting our images in space and in time

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender you got to let it go

So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games together
Raising the spirit of peace and love
(I want you to make love, not war
I know you've heard it before)

From Ken 'Duro' Ifill

What's up world this is Duro
Uhm, the question was actually what I see for the future,
I'm seeing people of all races coming together, spreading love, peace
And uhm y'know just respecting oneanother and being positive.

Skin Against Skin

(Feat. Deborah Anderson)

The sun moves high above
Watching below all that moves so fast
Plus taking on a different game
A future that was built to last
I see your face light up my screen
You say hello but I can't
Hold you
Does this all feel somewhat for real with what no limits to us
We can do

We're making such big steps
It's got me in a spin
Are we aiming too high
Of wanting to feel your skin against my skin, my skin, my skin

Neon lights are everywhere
Lighting up the crowded streets
It brightens up my floating bed
Where I lay myself to sleep
Did you receive the kiss I sent today
Up on the box in Time Square?
How I love the once and yesterday before it vanished into thin air

We're making such big steps
It's got me in a spin
Are we aiming too high
Of wanting to feel your skin against my skin, my skin, my skin

You're never really here
This is all a big mistake
My heart is feeling cold
I don't want to bake it

Meiso

Only The Strong Survive

(Feat. CL Smooth)

CL Smooth :

Yeah, DJ Krush in the house,
The car-mel kingpin CL Smooth
And only the strong survive

Actual facts
The ghetto reacts to warfare
Real bullets miss you by your hair
Survival of the fittest
Hell for the three time losers
The prisoners of enemy manuvers
Hold down the fort
Coz life is short enough to get it taken
Forsaken when your mental planes' breakin
Concealin' a 4 pound with every area
We surround coz clown
I get down for my crown
Take it to the streets for the
Honour and respect
Connect the lethal
Plus my young guns are unbeatable
Aiding and abetting the foul
Is a violation
That's why my retalliation
Is premeditation
The invitation
Is to run with a crew you can't do
And too great to infiltrate from a
Nickel plate
I state
This be the illest ever known on a rush
Swervin' with the krush

Slip into the world of shiesty individuals
A troubled man stalked by criminals
Creeping through the city
I step on the block to chat with
Thugs from all the drugs for fatcat
Stepping off the set now hand on my tool
Thinking how bad I want to flip on that fool
Times are wasting
Chasing these punks for petty loot
When there is a real mission to execute
I put the plan in effect
Forget what you heard
When you get the word from 1st and 3rd
For real I got the fam and all my soldiers to feed
With the gunslingers on the block puffin' weed
Envision the prison that I walk through
Leaving any witness
When I'm about to handle my business
No escape from the duct tape and artillery
Now tell me big man
Where's the money aint a damn thing funny

Cops play for medals
Killers play for corners
In the middle are your sons and are
Your daughters
Who gives the orders
To chaos and mayhem
Who has the proper guidance and mind to save them
From this cold world of heartless ghetto dwellers,
Pimps, prostitutes, and dope sellers
Strive to be the lead and not follow
Ladies
You can be the queens of tommorrow
Dig it, I want all that and more
For my peeps in the stuggle
Food, clothing, and shelter
Is essential
To maintain the hardcore from the soft
That pushed me to the edge but I can't fall off
My battlegrounds keep the sound of babies crying,
Gunshots, and cursing
Can you feel my reel
Here's the deal
By any means necessary
Go all out
And keep this alive
Coz only the strong survive

Meiso

 (feat. Black Thought & Malik B)

Black Thought :

Yin for yang I walk on a line
Between ghetto slang and stimulation of the mind
Life is a labyryth for dollars and cents
As I quest for cream, through the steam so dense
From the sensei me a puff, cause the tunnel is tough
Some lick shots with sound, some'll bust from the cannon
Experts o-rig-i-nal man'll examine
I am in fact lacking con-fus-ion, as to what's real
and what's illus-ion
I come from Illadelph where ya health you never take for granted
As hot as the equator in a cypher round the planet
Or abnormal, niggas appearing out of portals and demanding your soul
Who controls the eight immortals but the number seven
In this continual maze, where night fight with days
Within my mind marijuan blaze
And some say I should change my ways
But it's hard to hear the phrase through the havoc and haze
Thought's style will never since or never cease to excella-rate
It's the great lab dwella
Tha mentals of The Roots are beyond any computer
The judge prosecutor, or the drug distributor
Respect to the ex-Lex Luger, my nigga Malik B the intruder
Phila 5th Dynasty's the future
And DJ Krush is the producer, ya healin with the ginseng Roots
We get ya renascence loosa
Remember me the Thought I represent essentially and
mentally eventually, ya mention me as most high
My decibels are most fly, I come to paint ya Thought's Black
Yo Krush, where's it at?!!!??!

Malik B :

The Roots bring it from the Phila Fifth, spill the gift
The melody of a felony is straight off a cliff
Now can I get a witness to dismiss Christmas from the myth list
Man that's bogus, let's try to stay focused
You would think it was the Fourth of July
Cause in Illadelph a round of applause light up the sky
Why? Don't ask me, subtle attitudes sometimes nasty
Foul mouth bitches walk around looking trashy
Bimbos talking about where's the indo?
Crackheads leavin babies unattended at the window
To see death, and brothers with strikes who got three left
I'm trying to make it, cause if I don't I'll probably take it
But perserverence is a virtue
The person that you thinking you hurting might hurt you
Ya celly might jerk too
Perhaps I'll go to court this time when I'm summoned
But I'm a rebel to the system so I might not be coming
So if I fail, man just get up the bail
It's just more time to write another story to tell
Ill elements, drop intelligence, Black Thought Malik B
fuck up their-re-le-vance
We got strain on the brain from bodies left in the dust
Man just leave it to us, look main aim and I'll bust
Fuck betrayal just trust, all the tracks we lust
With DJ Krush from Japan with no more need to discuss

Most Wanted Man

(feat. Big Shug & Guru)

Damn, the man is still on my case...

I wake up in the morning like any other man
Jump in the shower, wash my body with both my hands
I gotta find the job today, I'mma let my gun lay
And like Jeru, let my mind spray
I got to get far from the block
I got to stop sellin' rocks, and runnin' from the cops
'Cuz everyday in life is stress
So I'm on a test, but I got to make my way
I see this fly chick, I can handle her
I say 'Hey excuse me, baby. Where's your manager?'
Manager comes from the back
Seen by his facial expression, situation's wack
I said to him 'Are you hirin'?'
He reached in to his waist-line, and then he started firin'
He tried to foyer my request
Don't they know my game is best when I'm rippin' on a set

They took my grip, what was I to do
I couldn't make no money, couldn't hang with my crew
It's time for me to blow the set
Get back in the drug game, 'cause it's the thing callin' my name
I won't make no fame workin' at no job for no low wage
I'm a wild nigga with rage
So let me blow on the set, gimme my respect
When I got my dough to collect

Word to mama 'I'm gonna bring the drama'
Big Shug, I'm the black kamisama
Cuttin' them up like Puertoricans, cuttin' 'em up like shurikens
People are freakin' when I'm speakin'
And if you wanna try to rush
Big Shug & DJ Krush
You'll get your whole crew touched
When we bust, we don't play
So throw your hands in the air & let'em sway

Duality

(feat. DJ Shadow)

In the beginning...

Go through the door...

*** Thanx a lot to Killy for this one ***

Escapee

(Feat. A.s.a)

One two three four, one two three four
One two three four, one two three four

One two three four...

One two three four, one two three four
One two three four...

One two three four, one two three four
One two three four...

Final Home

(Feat. Esthero)

I traveled far to find you
Who knew you'd be so far away
I will stay now
Love

This weary heart
The only gift i bring you
This love I give to you
It won't stray

I could give you
The most delicious kisses on your face
You see I need you to be addicted to me
I am calm now in the corners of his mouth
I am still now, I will not live without
I am pure now, safe inside my final home

I could give you
The most delicious kisses on your face
You see i need you to be addicted to me
I am calm now in the corners of his mouth
I am still now, I will not live without
I am pure now, safe inside my final home

My home.. my home....
My home inside you
Safe inside my final home
My home inside you

*** Thanx a lot to Mikal for this one ***

Zen Approach

(Feat. Black Thought)

Line for line, you gotta get it done
Little at a time, Zen approach
Gradually, I'ma get mine
Black Thought from the legendary 5th don

You wasn't payin attention
I'm henchin to hit the entrance
Trenchin it was no means to intervention
A dollar bill would make a hundred ten yen, son
How much you willing ta sacrifice ta win, huh?
I personally I paid mines
And then some climbed up an inch bit at a time
Now who's the zen one
If not self whom else can you depend on?
Friends gonna say it's alright and probably they been wrong
I got them battlefield dents in my armor
A twitch from the drama
The trees and bad karma
But still I'm precision, proceedure performer
We operate every night, and leave in the morning
Ta getchoo high as a kyte's the reason you want it
It's like a direct flight from freezin ta burnin hot shit
The audience fiend fa this fix
And KRUSH come wit the guillotine fa this mix, like...

Line for line, you gotta get it done
Little at a time, Zen approach
Gradually, I'ma get mine
Black Thought from the legendary 5th don

Yo, who got they fingers on the carousel locked in position
It got to be my man, the turntable tactician
You all at hush cause I ain't try to listen
You wanna feel its realness, the Rik's spittin
It gotcha head split your eyes can't stop twitchin
The only thing that you can do is rock the rythm
Don't put em down
Cause see the world we're at now
See me lickin rhymes, rappin like a five of rounds
And a you now ain't true to find the zenfinite sound and a
The revolution poppin off right now
I make you rase your fist, raisin up right
Raise your fist that busted the flag like blahhh
The f**k boy nigga's trying ta keep it on the hush
But Black Thought spittin cause the people want a rush your feel
It's what the audience fiend fa this fix
And KRUSH come wit the guillotine fa this mix lie...

Line for line, you gotta get it done
Little at a time, Zen approach
Gradually, I'ma get mine
Black Thought from the legendary 5th don

Yo, I got the renissance, turn of the century
Choked + I'ma do the people right

Finna ride, hang em high
KRUSH, gimmie the rope
See all them porcelain chin
Niggas gettin em broke
One at a time, na let's focus on who the don
When your blade's sharp as mine
People want you to rhyme
They want you ta spill
Fa me ain't nuttin for real
Me and my man runnin Japan
We're tough on the wheel
He blow ya mind like bustin the steel
I give the crowd something ta feel
The sound got the power to heal
It's like the Green Mile, now I need an hour to chill
A 1/4 of a kill ta burn while patrillin the field
I'm puttin rappers out cold
I done rap from Tokyo to the North Pole
Whenever my man program the passcode
Drummers se the 5th
And yo, KRUSH come wit a gullotine fa this mix, like...

Line for line, you gotta get it done
Little at a time, Zen approach
Gradually, I'ma get mine
Black Thought from the legendary 5th don

Danger of Love

(Feat. Zap Mama)

If love is a danger, should we avoid it?
If love is a danger, should we avoid it?

It was a rainy day today
Sky stayed grey
A lonely day, lonely day
It will be a lovely night
Sunshine in my heart
Even when we are apart

(The danger of love) Drive me crazy
(The danger of love) Drives me easy
(The danger of love) Makes the power of your day
(The danger of love) Makes the power of your way
The danger of love...

Your love bring the sun in me
I could smell your essence
With or without your presence
It was a lovely day,
A lovely day,
A lovely daaay.
A lovely daaaaaay ehhh
(the danger of love)
Drive crazy (the danger of love)
Drive me insane (the danger of love)
Makes the power (the danger of love)
Power of our day (the danger of love)
Makes the power (the danger of love)
Power of your way (the danger of love)
(the danger of love)
(the danger of love)
Lovely day
Lovely day

It was a rainy day
Sky stayed grey
They don't know nothing about love
Sunshine in me to stay
Good night!, sleep tight! (the danger of love)
See you in my dream tonight (the danger of love)
Good night!, sleep tight! (the danger of love)
See you in my dreeeeeeeam (the danger of love)

The danger of love

The danger of love
The danger of love

The danger of love

See you in my dream tonight (the danger of love)
Tonight
Tonight see you in my dream
See you in my dream

Vision Of Art

 (feat. Companu Flow)

You've got a very soft vision of art
You've got a deficit disorder of heart
Thes are the wings of an endangered drum pattern
This is the flight of the hapless, you've got it all backwards

When KRUSH drops a f**kin city buster, I call it the crowd rapist
Ace of base shitty compounded to drown faceless
Out of the ground basics found in lost spaces
Ashamed of its own bassline traces (that's pure hatred)
Perhaps the internet feeds your village fright (right)
I got the double ox wingspan dragon archetype tonight
The part that reflects light, my razorblade kite
F**k it..the rugged word, my immortal beloved
Got you suckin off muppets for bisquick and contracts and shit
Printed on the back of triscuits and served rectally
(jesus this shit is giving me a headache, man)
What a difference indifference can make
My bad chemistry chalkes lines like little deranged johnny the terrain bum
Borderline f**k ya soundbombing
I'm heated like broke days with nothing but noodle ramon and water
Water tainted, complaint filed time to transfer
Take me out? transfer denied, answer supplied as:
Stab em through the nipples with their own bitchy as rimshots
I'm audio two basic combust with strange lust
With modus opperandum in box than funcrush you box with soft touch
So much slower than the whole scenery seems
Moving through the plastiasine brackets backwards
Afterburn full thrust monks react trackless
Come to confront funk slugs with salt tactics
Turn the farrah faucet on and burn em in their matress
Murdered by a strange man in the basement of their building
Time to build time to be brazen with can rasing
The same faded disdain with a grain of insane patience
Patent that, fire in the sky, cataract eyes
This is nervous unnerving wordshit reported
Fortnights of journey through
Warning you secret pathfinder's the cast of bad sitcom
The laugh track's added to the last cat shit on
The audience claps like dillenger gun masonic rounds
Falling down, trample the trespass sound
Ample disress, amp'll get loud as terrets
From banchee with a megaphone, me-me-me-megaphone
Hold the frequency, hold it unevenly, unsheath the jihad blade
And become animalistic authority walks the plan, thats implicit
The shambles of the gifted, dismantled and imprisoned
This is just a cf thought car derailed and resold as old feelings
to those with false motion
All potions, pour to parched hearts open
Casted out, sold out in the open
DJ f**kin Len'll leave the boom box dead
DJ F**kin KRUSH'll make your children throw furniture
Learning disabilities spring from the scene
Like a recessive biter gene, ignited like a flare for all teams
Tall beams broken, bring down the foundation
Found in a pool of cess where the worms unnerve stations
FM is just femenin breaks on rotation
Company Floww hold the mic naked
Famous (aside from murder touch) get with the once known divine style
I enter like Asian, demented and god-like
Odd mic clutched and chucked at glass structure
Eat at that, bodies of martars and pump action
Technospawn the last long-cock rhymer
Get with it, spaceghost the force soul weapon
Get with it, get got or got missing.

You've got a very soft vision of art
You've got a deficit disorder of heart
Thes are the wings of an endangered drum pattern
This is the flight of the hapless, you've got it all backwards

*** Thanx a lot to Phillip for this one ***

With Grace

(Feat. N'Dea Davenport)

Reason
Is there any reason
Why my heart must now understand
We had the fire so many times
Changes like the season
Convinces me
That we've come to an end
But your love was undescribable

Woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh
Woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh

And as I watch I see before my eyes
The truth is my reality
My emotions are high
And I'm at the risk of falling again
Right now everything's on the line

Being alone is not what I prefer
But I've got to face this feeling
With grace
I will step aside
But if you're in need,
Holler and I'll be round
Holler, holler, holler
Holler, holler, holler

Please don't try
To make me less than I am
Let's not drag it out anymore
With grace
I will gladly remove myself
With grace
I'm all too willing
'Cause being alone is not what I prefer
But I've got to face this feeling
With grace
I will step aside
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be round
With grace
I will step aside
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be round
Holler, holler, holler
Holler, holler, holler
With grace
I will step aside
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be round
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be round
But if you're in need
Holler and I'll be round

*** Thanx a lot to Simona & Phillip & Brendan for this one ***

Candle Chant (A Tribute)

(feat. Boss the MC)

Lyrics translated:

"On the windiest of days
Time just passes us by
Unable to deal with the deafening silence
A single moment cried "is anyone out there?"

As long as it keeps moving, this boat called time can only take us to a limited number of destinations
But as soon as it comes to rest, that's when it truly becomes limitless
Allow us, the two well renowned Japanese outlaws BOSS and Krush to paint you a twilight landscape
(This meeting) was by chance, but I guess that's what you'd call fate
We both met this dude battling with the angel of death on separate occasions
This verse is dedicated to that man known as Lafura
And to the time that we spent together in the cancer (rehab) center
We met at the hospital, which felt more like one big waiting room
Talked to no end like a couple of long lost friends
His body noticeably battered, struggling to get back up from the (canvas) of life
Not once did he show it in his face, he was constantly laughing and smiling
Me and his mom just went right along and talked and laughed with him
At the time I didn't really know just how bad it was
No check that, in retrospect, it was painfully clear how bad the situation was
But I'd tell myself not to show it, because everything (illness) starts from your spirit
As I repeat this to myself, I realize just how wretched and powerless my words are
Lacking any real experience, (hollow like) an empty envelope
But just know that I really meant those words I told you
"Let's do a song together, let's hook up when you come to Sapporo"
But you know, time just seems to go faster when you're all alone with the girl and the music you like
I was in a hurry, it was like we were placed on a conveyer belt at a speed faster than we could all (imagine)
"Boss and Krush, go on and collect the parts that we call experience
And continue on towards where you're headed."
I believe those were the last words that Lafura blessed us with
Everytime I think of them, my will to live and the hopelessness of it all seems to swell
I realize, this balloon we call life is limited
But each time it shrinks, we can blow it up again, that in itself is unlimited
A frail soul crying out in an incubator continues the dream of someone lost
Not clad in full metal, in the flesh, the mental trembles
The flashbacks, hallucinations, my veins spray like an automatic
All the while, we rent worldly pleasures and recklessly search for someone to hand us a pardon
Purchase our egos at discount prices, to build our (bleak) gray theme parks that reach to the sky
Even the (lifeless) plastic that doesn't struggle to take another breath
And the asphalt will probably outlive us all

To those that make that final journey, you will be forever young
Across space and time, neither your face nor your voice will change
What kind of light you saw, and what thoughts crossed your mind in the end, I can't really say
I'm still young, I still have to deal with the haunting spirits of all the time that I've been wasting
In order to move forward, let us breath oxygen and music
And make our future homes in speakers and tweeters, that will testify that we existed
Knowledge seems to just rain down unconsciously across my notepad
But through it all, I choose to believe in the theory that there was an end before the beginning
That there is continuity to the truth
In reality, we make all of our acquaintances with the knowledge that one day we'll have to part
I find endearing warmth in our humble pursuits that we undertake just to make names for ourselves
I will not let those that left before me be cast into distant oblivion
As if they never existed ??? (couldn't catch this line)
To those of us left behind, regardless of the reasons, we must live responsibly
Although I appear to shine right now
Like a star, I could vanish like I never existed
As I sit here quietly in the corner of this the year 2000
Leave decades of memories, then descend the final curtain
The transparent spirits of the ones that have left their physical form
I pray that at the very least they rest in peace
Those memories, my own and those of others, tucked away near my heart, will become one
Time comes to a standstill, stay here with me for eternity

Our livelihoods and the places that we want to go, the people we long to see
No matter how far removed and how late we come to realize
They'll always be within reach
The one season which lights the candle that'll blow out with a single breath
Creates a history made out of (mere) ashes and dust, that continues to burn brightly

The countless memories that disappear as we peer within, are spread (like seeds) with the wind
Which allows the joyous yet tragic flower to bloom, eventually die, and continue (the cycle)

One millimeter in space is equal to the lifetime of this planet, one millimeter of this planet is equal to the duration of our lives
One millimeter of our lives is equal to a single day, one millimeter of today is equal to...
This very moment
In that moment, billions of cells (came to form) one single emotion
One sensory response makes up one millimeter of a day, one day is a millimeter of a lifetime
One life a millimeter of this planet, this planet a millimeter in space..."

 Whut'z Da Solution

 (feat. Kukoo Da Baga Bonez)

Whut'z going on, says Marvin Gaye
I don't know but it'z even trifa than it was i your day
I feel grief, but at the same time I'm mad enough to catch beef
Becauz catz be camouflagin'
Actin' like everything iz everything
But ready to throw a Tomahawk in ya back
Smilin', jokin' & laughin' but profilin'
Playin' da role like nothing's happening
Letting da atin' control ya soul
Jealousy iz festerin', bubblin'
Ready to boil a whole persona
And lifestyle iz turmoil
Whut'z wit ya grill?
Were you suckin on a spoiled lemon?
I'm tellin' you envy is deadly, look what happened to John Lennon
It's sad, dat'z why my melon iz swellin'

Jealousy iz a mutha, envy is anotha
What can we do? What'z da solution?
(Repeat x 3)

I don't know, but I got a few suggestions
It might be helpful or maybe not
But I feel like fishburne in school dayze
Stop, we must come together
Cauz if not society will rot
Becauz my brother iz everyone
No matter race, color or creed
I'm more than happy to congratulate
Not the hate
Jealousy iz just like an earthquake
It shakes, rattles & rolls ya way of thinking
Mad at a cat without meeting, angry at ya man
Becauz he'z seeking something better
But da thought gives you chills like da cost of an iceberg sweater
Why can't we all get along?
That's a question we should be askin' ourselves
Listen to this song

It's like whutever you do
Jealousy surround you
Everything I said iz true from verse 1 to verse 2
Then Sinsta came through to put hiz piece of mind in it
This hatred we got to end it
Send it to a far place like space
Never hesitate to support your fellow man
Brother, sister, spouse or mate
Take a lil' advice from me
A true to heart M.C. who been encounterin' envy
Overcoming da fake snakes & unfriendly
Rememberin' these i da struggle
We need to make a difference in da 21st Century
Or itz trouble

Jealousy iz a mutha, envy is anotha
What can we do? What'z da solution?
(Repeat x2)

Paradise Bird Theory

(Feat. Sunja Lee)

The end of the Century of Destruction
Various joys reflected at the commencement of the New Century
Dreams expanding, tell tales of future

Then appeared Gokuraku-cho, flying down
Black shadow gives a cold laugh

History of genocide repeated itself
Syas and does of egoists
Brainwashing by media
Blinded mass psychology
Even now, broken souls wander in the air

It might happen tomorrow
Impulse of distruction stems out of solitude and the air of catastrophe
Trusth of madness that lies behind smiles

Fading them out is unacceptable
Extinction of bodies, and murder of souls
Halt, look back, think
And proceed the Ended Century

What's waiting ahead is....

*** Thanx a lot to Simona & Phillip for this one ***

Shinsou : The Message At The Depth

Supreme Team

(feat. Anti-Pop Consortium)

Get low
Apc

I turned frosty to keep the grime off
Keep my lines staggered the braggart that stopped
Traffic with patterns that cracked cabbages
Back in the crack labor(tory)
Spit this traum flip this traum
Respond its like I got a bomb tatted on my arm
Um who run lyrics like h-prism
That's refracted back the pat pterodactyl
The solution will unwrap you
It's capital A-P-see / walk with me thru the
Blocks and blocks of coma
I spit trauma
Spark a lighter or a flare
I rep faculty actually
By my side not back of since back in the
Pac tragedy
His majesty

See when you see me your seeing
The supreme team ...

I got the convo's locked
Boxed in like a condo
Boas doing mambo
The script I talk I walk
So when spit it I ridded the wicked
Fuck with stitches fuck a fit
I throw a hospital
Its twisted
M (dot) s-a-y-y-i-d ese'
With essays
Lion king
Novel broadway
Leave you les miserables
Got the odd job messy
High noon blue jet spray
International aka address jfk
Bananas at the spot where I stay
Vanilla dutches cats is on crutches
Forty tracks with the axe that pats you back like
Hey

See when you see me your seeing
The supreme team...

*** Thanx a lot to Sowa for this one ***

Song for John Walker

(Feat. Anticon)

Pedestrian :
There's a little Johnny Walker Lindh in every Meadow Creek middle school
And when the rap tape grows up
Each wave topples at first wind before the self settles in the body

Dose & Why? :
The names of prominent families
Carry no weight in foreign cities
And even the sons of senators
Receive no welcome outside the states
The names of prominent families
Carry no weight in foreign cities
And even the sons of senators
Receive no welcome outside the states

Dose :
We hold these truths to be self-evident
Once a-fuckin-gain we got a dollar model president
Carving his face up for the cover of the next new nickel
Combing every cotton coil of his inner white wig
Curling perfect sers to his own thin lips in the mirror
Working on his contripasto for stone
Oh yah whitey, you got empire guilt

Why? & Dose :
We know John Walker, we know John Booth
Waste our days swatting this single song
At a long line of Yale and bones born old men
We know John Walker, we know John Booth
Waste our days swatting this single song
At a long line of Yale and bones born old men

Alias :
While the widows buy rubber grips to open bottles with
It's dreams with dusty dashboards and chipping paint
At least the animals have something to poison themselves with
Director yelling "Cut!" on riot footage in the background is faint
And at dusk the clanking of fork to plates syncs
Man of the house drowning out the chatter of housewife
To yet another unmanned spyplane crash
Now televangelists have a basis for book sales
And the promise of effective prayers that get results
As well as God's insurance policy for guaranteed divinity
Time to give the fallout shelters a makeover
Grab a pen and pad of paper and Ikea catalogue today

Sole :
No matter what plastic you pray to or sponsorship you kill for
Become a smart happy healthy pet rock if you can eat like us
You'll make great soup and hot new imports for domesticated devils
Don't worry, in thirty years we'll all be Johns and Sarahs

Dose & Why? :
But the names of prominent families
Carry no weight in foreign cities
And even the sons of senators
Receive no welcome outside the states
The names of prominent families
Carry no weight in foreign cities
And even the sons of senators
Receive no welcome outside the states

Why? :
A flag stripes trying to tear free in heavy wind
And seperate themselves from any unified composition
Oh, I heard the two parties split platforms at the turn of the century
But I know I'm American by the coins I carry
And that's fucking scary
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
And even the worn wigged hard news anchors are un-affected
And every psychic and small-time prophet is aloof
We've been injected to the point of immunity
It takes an f load of s to stimulate the
Desencitized tastebuds of the sugar-expecting community
Till we can barely detect the weather man's insincerity
Their tongues are fast and free
Like a child's translucent un-braced teeth
A low relief long horn
On a roughneck's rawhide wallet
(Can I hear that, ah, last tongues are fast, you know)

Dose :
Yeah America, you got it

Passage :
The audio haunting promise provides for even the smallest of sparrows
So long as the ghosts are clean and clearly showing through you
I've been helpful, metal man bides his time
In the sands on Minus Island
Everything is fine, your heart is working properly
All my love and luck on the river Euphrates

Passage & Sole :
Don't take no wooden nickels, kid
There's bikinis selling SUV's in the TV's in teepees
Time to look for Job, the dorks have hit the desert
The carbohydrate kings are back with fanny packs
And daisy-cutters strapping parachutes to Lunchables
To land on the lap of the new batch of bargain hunters
Now we're not saying anything cause we're not supposed to
But like Blockbuster hampster gave the Black Panthers cancer
I know what you're thinking, it's like drinking the ocean
But if you can fall in love in prison you can die a healthy plant

Dose :
He wanted Hammer pants, he joined the Taliban
He sought an absolute truth, the alpha cliché
But he got the omega and bucked
How many more humans will wear gun spit in their guts
Why, you can still smile on the cover of Life magazine
No matter how many bullets you take
Again we use the magnets poorly
Again we use the magnets poorly
Again we use the magnets poorly
Again we use the magnets like shit
What is it with all these men in their fifties
Wanting to win the world over like there's no tomorrow already?
No matter what you do, G.W
There will be no dollar for you
Woe is the billionnaire
Woe is the billionnaire
No matter what you do, G.W
There will be no dollar for you
Woe is the billionnaire

Give him a bomb to suck on

Aletheua ( Truthspeaking )

...

Like June 1944
When all our pappy's where at war
We prayed before the radio-oh oh
But when the apple dropped that day
We stood and watched them blow away
A people full of yesterday-ay ay

Cause we don't think before we speak
And we don't stand up for the weak
And we don't listen to the freaks the freaks
Cause we don't clean up our own shit
And when refused we throw a fit
As we scream “I don-wanna-hear-it” “I don-wanna-hear-it”
“Don-wanna-hear-it”

Open refrigerator door
All the same products as before
Can't find new places to explore-oh oh
Born with 5 senses but we see
Much less of world reality
Do you believe your lunch is free-ee ee
Cause we don't think before we speak
And we don't stand up for the weak
And we don't listen to the freaks the freaks
Cause we don't clean up our own shit
And when refused we throw a fit
As we scream “I don-wanna-hear-it” “I don-wanna-hear-it”
“Don-wanna-hear-it”

The institution you attend
And all the clones that you befriend
Just seem to finalize your end-eh eh
I can recall what mother said
Who you become is how you fed
Truth is by heart not in your head ...

What about tomorrow

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

It's so hard to see what's happening today
To see my brothers and sister die that way
I would like to take a trip to the palace of the king
Just to share what's on my mind for a brighter day

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

So much division on the walls of religiosity
So much confusions that we cannot see
Ole fascism gains poverty
No more bombing, no more shooting, let the children be

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

The pain is so hard that we can't feel it
So let my people free
How many cry, how many die, we see
Let JAH children be

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

Change hatred for a brighter tomorrow
Just to see the peace among each other
There's no war love can't conquer
We should all be our brother's keeper

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

The pain is so hard that we can't feel it
So let my people free
How many cry, how many die, we see
Let JAH children be

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

What about the youths
What about tomorrow
What about the truth
Is it bread or sorrow

Jaku

Nosferatu

Searching for adventure
Welcome to Dementia
Lit sent ya
Every message that he meant ta
Envision this
Your parameters are limitless
30,000 feet in the air
we're all there
Standard procedure
Land hime at Narita
Find r**fer
Hit thet telli
For some leisure
Relaxin'
Lookin' over Osaka
Thinkin' of a line
For a rhyme
That'll rock ya
On stage shock ya
jettin' cause I've gotta
Hit Tokyo
With another dark and lonely
Flow
Language barrier
Like a carrier
Aircraft
When I move my physical frame
You'll hear math
Numbers crunch your bone well
Struggle through your own hell
Pray you weren't alone
When your dome fell
Oh well
Grab another mop for the body shop
And while you rot
The dead'll get the f **k up and walk

Strange things happen in the nighttime
When you leave your crib to go and hear a
Hype Rhyme
Enter so I've got ya
Black Nosferatu
Rock that ass to sleep with a beat
Then I'll chop you

Strange things happen in the nighttime
When you leave your crib to go and hear a
Hype Rhyme
Enter so I've got ya
Black Nosferatu
Once you're under spell
I'll do what the hell I want to

Let me lighten up
Total eclipse
The universe flips
Sunken ships sink towards the seas
Surface
A thousand tales of those who failed
But kept composure
Decomposure
Bloated from exposure
The sun bust
You better duck son
The government sonned us
To work toward needs and
Gun lust
We could buy our souls back
But we sold that
It's a no go black
Hire Skully and Kojack
Detectives
With correctives lens
Perceptive tight perspective
Yet missed the objective
F**k it
Live and let live
They could never catch Lif
Hit me with a beat and a mic
Let's get biz
Lights dimming
That means your chances of escape
Slimming
Hands up
And heads bobbing to the rythm
Blood shower
Now ya
Body lose power
Within an hour
I'll teleport to Kanazaawaa
To start me feeding again
I'm peeling your skin
Then you scream
Thus release the feelings within
Here's a flyer
Missing my event would be a sin
Nigga showtime's at 9
Welcome let it begin

*** Thanx a lot to Pierre-Antoine & Killy for this one ***

Kill switch

This is Minister Metal Foot
Treat a pedal Like an earwig
And cook off by applying the same logic to the gearshift
Bird off prey circle
Serf homes like I tweaked when the beak
Hit the bones, leave him alone
Leaky break fluid but ghost
The boy whip swift
Cruise for the unusually mutual shoes
In & out hotstepper lane eat fame
Spit the blinking lights back to the lions
Keep the name freak the frame
Like it lasts without compromising the mission
On guard to peak with the gain the second
The second frame twitches
Which is fine, I learned stay alert early
For the buzzards that burgle the worms
Know nothing of mercy
Wrote this one in europe with Walz while his ravi sick at home,
It`s killin` him
If you can`t identify
Peep, see when you kill the shows, then the bills unfold
And if the bills unfold, the children ain`t gonna pick at bones
Only soldiers shouldres built to carry weight could troop us
Shake a room up scoop the venue phone
1-800 Brooklyn zoo is Kenya home
I mean, it`s love when the screams leave your face
But it`s realer when your seed`s fever breaks
Kid, I got your family, pull up a chair
I got a little something that I want y`all to hear
There is much greater peace out there still
And if I gotta carry it home in my teeth for y`all, I will

There is a greater love
Greater than your papercuts
Greater than the labor
Suckin souls out of the razor tongued
All eyes on it
Cut the edge and cut for it
Water & hot porridge
There is a medicine I know and live
It dissolves and swims between the bones and skin
When the dry walls start closing in
I mosey out to hold the win
Kill switch

Welcome to sham citiy limits
Let your insects do the walking
Let your indent through the shredder
Let your instinct make it awkward
If Gitty in the gauntlet, set the phasers on kill
Cuz the millions that haunt it ain`t offered the same pills
My chemical happy squad operate with freedom fighters
Eye of the tiger pride prize fight
Nighter off a Geiger napkin scribble to crack riddles
Fizzle back in after the ax tip rizzle grips actually swivels
And they won`t stop asking all the wrong questions
All the right answersfor s**t you ain`t find interesting
Hand pull the plug and fuck it
Make a hundred albums, not a one for public consumption
Now that`s that, good lovin`
Lugging fetus
Feedback isn`t what I got down for
Dancing on the ceiling with that lip
On the ground floor of the building
You`d leak anything from document to poison
To stand on your brother`s face and holler boyant
Float like a butterfly
Sting Jackals you could never shackle
Zooka maggots bring mavericks
Sing a song of sick spit blood in savage
Illin` children, cuttin` papers lilac in the attic
And I casualy shift up
These crusaders hold a dual saber defense
For the cruel natured weekend drifter
Please do not interupt the placement of the steak
On my kinfolk`s plate, wait...

*** Thanx a lot to Pierre-Antoine for this one ***

Slit of Cloud

(Feat. Akira Sakata)

Yakumo tatsu
Izumo yae-gaki
Tsuma-gomi ni
Yae-gaki tsukuru
Sono yae-gaki o

Miwataseba
Hana mo momiji mo
Nakarikeri
Ura no tomaya no
Aki no yuugure

Izumo, where the clouds rise
In an eightfold fence
They make an eightfold fence
To keep my wife in
Ah, that eightfold fence

I look out
But find neither flowers
Nor crimson leaves
An autumn evening
In my hut on the shore

Tragicomic

( DJ Krush featuring ACO and Twigy )

だらしのない涙なんて
今必要ではないわ
不揃いなこの心には
歌わせてあげて

溶かしあう この時を
揺らす陽炎 くらう夜景
灰にならへ 凍らしあう
押しあう 気を燃やしあう
この廃墟を バックにまた感じあえ
同化しあう思考
回路の砂 犯しあう
いや起こしあう理想
背徳のスワン 歪ナも 優雅
愛とはスロー
なんと宇宙だ 終始
味和へ 最後のプランFROM MUSIC
イメージが比例しあう 噂弔う
クロスワーズ 踏むエイジアン
未来は揃うか?

たちのぼる濃い空気に
少しの眩暈覚えて
華麗に優しく静かに…
癒やして頂戴

さすらう道を 閉ざす タブー壊す
煩うルール そこら中 ギャフン
街は トランスなケセラセラ(出発!)
足す 引く 素数 擦りな KRUSH
押すな 急かすな オツなKNOW HOW
奪う コツすら 不可解な歌 唱う
浄化していく 効果 舌ドップラー
極楽を くらく ど真夜中にさせ
ど真ん中 揺らしあうんだぜ
シュハキマセリ 夢に吐息が這う
手を取りて 黒き土を踏めり
もう一度 舞う

だらしのない涙なんて
今必要ではないわ
不揃いなこの心には
歌わせてあげて
たちのぼる濃い空気に
少しの眩暈覚えて
華麗に優しく静かに…
癒やして頂戴

まじわう光 街に送り込む
擦り込む誓い 苦い絵を理解
売り買いする 札束取りあう
飛び交うわやくちゃもみくちゃ
になるまで 利害 間違い
行き交う 生き甲斐とKEY
削り出しあう 9×9 グーパーチョキ
水が 液体で いられる星
忙しない時と 同じ空
濡らす頻 照らすゴール
近いドア 示すヴェガ
分かちあう 旅人とのキス
証したい 神との絆
