Monster (feat. T.K.)

(Imma monster),
Literally off the chains
(A witch doctor),
Comin' to invade ya brain
(There ain't a proper),
Way to validate my decision...
Made to permanently leave you in a state of remission
(I'm a Monster)
As well like TK said//
Escape from hell Teq defeat Satan//
From out of ground I climb the hell out//
To remix wack track from twenty 12, so-//
Welcome home to the prodigal son//
I have returned from my journey homie holdin' a gun//
I'm doper than fuck & 'I'm broke- so I stole me a truck//
And I sold right back to the owner that I stole it from//
And the way I digest- you sonny Imma eatchu alive//
After I- beatchu to death cuz you were feedin' me lies//
Complete yo demise, gather all a yo heaters and get to steppin' //
We can meet up at high noon at the intersection of Smith and Wesson//
Eventually heaven sent for the very best//
And every message desperately sent inevitably they went to Teq//
well...I intercepted 'em but nevertheless//
They were technically Teq's messages anyway I digress//

Dark Days
03:26
|

Rise out of my bed, pissed at how//
All this turned out, as I begin to diss myself//
How many ways can I explain I exist in hell//
I'm suffocating face down in the wishing well//
My downs and ups, I'm wishing they were flipped around//
Look up to you, and all you do is kick me down//
And now it's- rise out the death bed, wish me well//
And witness my offensive against myself//
I'm missing out on all the things I wished about//
Confused at what it was I did when I wished them out//
So wish me well, or whatever fuck it fish me out//
The Chesapeake Bay baby, with a fishy mouth//
If this is how it is, you can dim the blinds//
And count me out, goodnight, you can hit the lights//
Goodbye- for now... I mean- for at least a while//
Okay, I'm back... Hooray- you ain't even smiled//
----- ----- -----
It isn't easy to forgive and forget//
You never forget, and all we do is live in regret//
Admit and repent, and confess, and when I did it I wept//
'Cause it's what's out of my control that has me feeling depressed//
And I guess...
It isn't easy to forgive and forget//
You never forget, and all we do is live in regret//
We need to make a better UV ray//
Because the Sun ain't quite a bright enough light in these dark days//
----- ----- -----
I try to- kiss the clouds, and I kiss the ground//
And you don't pick me up and you don't lift me out//
And now I can't go to bed and there's nothing on//
'Cause I threw the television set through the fucking wall//
And I'm a...
Insomniac when you go to sleep I'mma stay awake//
And slip away like the undertow but I'm over waves//
...I ain't under you but you over me//
And the weight I hold is immeasurable and crushing me//
...Walls are closing in and I'm underneath//
Of a swinging lowering pendulum and it's cutting me//
...And I'm letting it 'cause it's fun to me//
I'm invincible and I really don't even wanna be//
A hundred lifetimes trying not to die//
And not to pry- but I need some replacement eyes//
'Cause my 2 blues are damaged too far beyond repair//
And I developed an incurable thousand yard stare//
----- ----- -----
HOOK
----- ----- -----
Since the day I became the goblin and gobbled amphetamine/
I been solving all of my problems with horrible remedies//
It was- hood to the burbs to a hooligan in the hood again//
From- pen to the pad to my own pad, and into the pen//
I got no motive in keeping up with the Joneses//
My only current concern at the moment's not to be homeless//
Emotionless- Put in work every minute and you don't notice it//
You only searching for negative and you focus it//
And me?
I got a problem with causing my own problems//
And I don't know how I cause 'em and I don't know how to solve 'em//
...And that increase in my lack of energy nowadays?//
...Well it's scaring the shit right outta me//
So ride along while I spit this song//
About how my time ain't gone, but I know this life ain't long //
But so far, the one thing you can learn from me//
Is only one damn thing in the world for free//
-And that's pain.

Kill Teqneek
02:50
|

I stay driven like interstates every Thanksgivin'//
...No recognition appreciation or thanks given//
The same symptoms of sickness remain given//
With rivetin' lyricism in every rhythm
I ever been in//
The more ignored the more saturated my writtens get'//
With cynicism til my recordings practically drippin' with it//
Yes I'm agitated I'm visibly aggravated//
That invisibility jacket grafted to me you activated'//
HOOK
Living with eyes closed while I'm wide a-wake//
Witness the sunrise of my final day//
I lied, I'm Blind//
Listen as my mind's eyes fly away//
Withering exile find my grave//
Ride my... tidal wave...//
You resurrected and set me free//
But I was never really dead and you can't kill_me//
Verse 2
You cant kill me mutha- fuckaaa//
You cant kill me, you can't kill me//
You cant kill me mutha- fuckaaa//
You cant kill me, you can't kill me//
The game that you play ain't a game to me//
You claim it's a game but it ain't to me//
The game that you play ain't a game to me//
You claim it's a game but it ain't to me//
Ay yo I'm early onset Alzheimers as fuck kid//
I document and edit life so it looks like I loved it//
And my time- mostly devoted to mental organization//
And mental illness conversion through pen and ink on a piece of paper//
I got a head fulla scrambled eggs//
And I'd be better off dead but instead I'm Teq//
And today- I went ahead an made another mistake//
And I'm gonna pay for it and pay for it forever I think//
You're no-body til somebody kills me//
And you can't kill me, and you can't kill me//
You're no-body til somebody kills me//
And you can't kill muthafuckin Teqneek//

There's a girl a'bout 6 thousand miles away//
Who stole my heart, an' never gave hers to me//
I knew I- never de'served her_I knew she seemed//
Too good to'be true'and too beau'tifulll for me//
But for me- you were the best little Mexican drug queen//
I could start a cartel with you tu comprende what I mean//
And I mean it the first body to ever bleed for your art//
First name shoulda been Jonny last name- shoulda been Hart//
But my heart-
You came and stole it like a thief in the night//
N'the tip of your tongue might as well'a'been the tip of a knife//
And it isn't alright, another night a'wake_a'gain//
Writing poetry for a song I'll never make Ekim//
Because you- Filled my head_fulla hopes and dreams//
By letting me think you meant what you told to me//
And e'ver'y_thing you said it was sold to me//
With the voice of an angel you were holding me//
And I'was... glued to you and you were glued to me//
And I couldn't control the feelings that grew in me//
You got the 2 most unbelievably beautiful brown eyes//
Hypnotizing my 2 blues in a flash and now I'm blind//
Seni seviyorum I mean it more every time//
She the artist of my life I'mma love her til I die//
My girl light up a dark day brightest star in the night sky//
She inspired me to get back on the mic and to write rhymes//
I say...
Seni seviyorum I'm in love with your style//
In love with your eyes, your mind and I'm in love with your smile//
You'stimulated'me in ways I didn't know were even poss_ible...//
Because ya mahvelous dahling simply pheno_menal//
Ekim and Jonny baby'a tale of two souls//
Intrinsically connected past the molecular level//
I was captivated the minute you stepped out of my dreams//
And was devastated the second it ended like "fuck me" //
Because you said baby you can put your trust in me//
The same day that you suddenly gave up on me//
Ekim and Jonny boy baby a tale of one girl//
Who was too good to be true and I knew it too- but I'm gullible,//
...I wrote a song about distances//
And baby girl all it did for me was get me pissed//
I wanna focus on together how we could'do anything'y//
You take my breath away...and I love you'ta death'Ekim o-kay?//
Strong coffee and fortune tellers//
And 4 out of 4 of em told us to grow together//
So'I owe you a phone cord and a song at the airport//
And a gold star and a the rest'a my whole life and the whole world //
'Broke-up withcha boy_friend to roll with me//
An'broke every single promise thatchu told to me//
Were you trolling me 3 months every thing went cool//
And then'somethin'changed overnight_ back in Is'tan_bul//
(bull)Shit_ empty and worthless I'm more than a bit hurt//
I'm unworthy of your kiss one year and of your word//
I'was even learning your language and wasn't worthy of EVEN//
ONE Turkish Word of the day from you-
I was learning your language for you!//
I know the curse says to fuck with me//
But I'm not a... fu_ckin mistake don't give up on me//
-You went to Istanbul to fade away//
And broke my- soul my heart and my hopes and dreams//
4 things that I won't need since I finally found you//
And I'll never see you again and I'm dying without you //
Ekiiim...
You are gorgeous and per-fect, and yer tur-kish and cir-cassian//
It's written in your name you deserve it so em'brace it//
Ekim- Stay with me you could be my queen//
And you'd be- stuck to me and we would ffffollow our dreams//
_________
_________
_________
Don't wanna see you go...
But there was nuthin that I could do//
I fell in love with you why wouldjyou-//
Say what you said if you didn't love me too//
Don't wanna be alone... //
But there was nothing that I could do//
I fell in love with you-
And I'll never love anyone butchu'
'there's no_thing I can doooo//
....-An' I'm blamin' it all on you-
You knew what I been through//
You said don't worry//
And that I could confide in you bullshiiiiiiit//
....I aint e'ven distrac_ted you-
...All the way from here, yeah-
You worried I'd distract you from your friends and yo goddamn beer (or liquor whatever beer rhymes better with)//
...Have fun while I disappear
...and fuckin live my curse
And die in tears,
While someone else gets my girl//
Ekimmm...
I don't wanna be a-looone...//
But there's nothing that I can do//
STOP
...because I don't have a heart to give//
It's on the other side a tha'globe bro'//
ken' and it's all Ekiiiiiim's-//
...the Queen of the god damn world//
I hope'the next guy you find_to date//
Has a limp_ dick- the size of a jelly_bean bay-bayyyyyy//
....and a ha'iry u_gly ass
Smelly balls, pimplesonhisback,//
And gets you pregnant before you get a chance to dump his aaaaassss//
Don't wanna see you go...//
But I love to watch you leave//
Just kidding only saw that once//
I got a- Turrrrkish Hug and a case of PTSD//
...And I'd still prolly take you back//
Aşik olmak because Jonathan Hart is a complete dumbass//

Edge of Existence
02:29
|

I got the blood of Edgar Allen Poe flowing through my veins//
And in a family full of poets he's going behind me//
I've thrown lyrics away more lethal than Mogadishu is known for evil//
StilI I go unnoticed and overlooked and unknown to people//
Sliding off the edge of existence ever since I existed//
Realizing life is a gift and I'll die to try to live it//
...But I committed to some bad decisions//
Disastrous living, the 2 world's wackest women//
I'm a magnet attracting sadness a tragedy tractor beam//
I'm accumulating a massive amount of wisdom too rapidly//
... and I have to breathe I don't think that the path I'm traveling//
Magically ends with me and the girl of my dreams and happy//
I never actually asked for the lives of 9 cats//
Give me a decent 1 and you can have 80 of mine back//
...The price of gathering up all of this wisdom//
Was too massive to pay if sadness is the cost of admission//
I tried to shine too many times and I oxidized and I rust//
'Til my confidence has been battered and systematically crushed//
And I'm shattered-
...And every one I love burns me up//
...And everything I touch turns to dust//
I been used and I'm used up can you understand where I'm speaking from//
Learning so many life lessons I should be the one teachin'em?//
....Losing your mind is impossible when you're Jonathan'//
I can't escape a prison I'm locked inside of and lost within//
I can't relieve the symptoms of a meager existence//
Beaten and underestimated til I'm weak as an infant//
I'm addicted to pain and constantly making the same mistakes//
And repeatedly paying for em' and praying my faith away//
But I'm blessed...
And I feel amazing I'm kidding I feel abused and angry//
Unappreciated by people who should appreciate me//
...An introverted extrovert I need to be heard//
...Yet too embarrassed to get on a stage and to speak words//
I can't communicate a chain of events//
To you if it thoroughly confuses me the way that it went//
But hey truthfully if could I wouldn't change too many things//
I love the person I became I just hate the world that created me//
Abandoned stranded standing here staring in disbelief//
Like my destiny is to prove to you Karma is make-believe//
I'm abandoning sanity 'cause I'd rather live in a fantasy//
Then play the victim in an existence which isn't fair to me//
Living had kicked my ass before grabbing a pen and pad//
My older brother killed himself and it messed me up really bad//
And my dad is an addict I'm amazed that he's still alive//
My suicidal little brother attempted it 5 times
And I'm eager to please the people who take advantage of kindness//
The least deserving of earning my trust always seem to find it //
A shell of the hell of a guy that I always thought I would be//
I'm a skeleton trapped in hell and I'm clawing out of it constantly//
