Hook: [Gothic Delphine] Pay attention to me, love Why am I begging for you huh Putting up with the bad in a month Always feeling I wasn’t enough Pay attention to me, love Why am I begging for you huh Putting up with the bad in a month Always feeling I wasn’t enough Verse 1: [Nonazz] Every morning I awake from a cavernous night Pondering on everything that got me causing a fight Inside the broken head, hoping I could focus once again But I been running, overdosing from the comfort I ingest I never rested well I try to drift away and set myself away from hell The spirit roaming in the hallways as I play the 12th For shame and wealth, as I begin to entertain the spell It’s all a prophecy The poverty would always bother me But I could never change it all within a step And every now and then I see the pages written all across the wall But I can’t even specify the wording said My pain was nerving, I been learning how to cope but slowly turning from my current self Whatever happened to the person that was earning health My soul's energy was burned from cold memories Holding verbs effortly as I control my symmetry Walking by the crescent lake on winter days Sparking up another roll of Brazilian haze Ice frozen peaks scattered all across the cracks Wishing I could pause a second and take it all back Hook: [Gothic Delphine & No God.] Pay attention to me, love Why am I begging for you huh Putting up with the bad in a month Always feeling I wasn’t enough Pay attention to me, love Why am I begging for you huh Putting up with the bad in a month (Secret Scriptures) Always feeling I wasn’t enough (Look!) Verse 2: [No God.] Crush a coal to a diamond, love sick now I’m shining Stopped tryna turn it to a science, felt the vibrance If nothing makes a nihilist is tryin something worth a risk Burning spliffs, vigilant of pigs tryna power trip Evading big crowds, they chase styles but never profound Burdened as a perfect child the demons never got out Clouds of doubt held me down from hearing coaches shout Starved myself thinkin I would sprout, it never worked out At last surrounded by the peace when I was younger Hoop dreams and lax summers ‘fore I lost my hunger Loose schemes spit, I blew steam and reached a peak of sonder Wish upon a star we seek to see nirvana Gained my honour, medication made my mind wander Strained and bothered, stayed stronger cuz my mom and father Remained a martyr, pain and trauma saw my thoughts darken Hardened prison, love sick caused a heart incision Hook: [Gothic Delphine] Pay attention to me, love Why am I begging for you huh Putting up with the bad in a month Always feeling I wasn’t enough Pay attention to me, love Why am I begging for you huh Putting up with the bad in a month Always feeling I wasn’t enough

Verse 1: [No God.] Secret Scriptures Scintillatin, spliffs blazing stopped my mind from racing Sinful bait was always blatant, scribblin’ on pages made a modern day metaphysician I shook you like fibrillation, surgical precision stopped your living Lyrical lacerations slash like Zoro off determination My dissertations concentrating on the pain I’m facing My will is stainless, brass brazen had to clash with Satan Times change, I’m Steven Strange when he lost his patients(/patience) Fate will play a part, facials scars from monkey paws Wish upon a star you’re first to draw before I crack your jaw Lost it all, depictions of my thoughts make you question god’s intentions look at Noah’s ark, flooded life from the start Made my mark, watch the salted cut dissolve, kick push so appalled Applauded for withdrawals, had to stall before I met my clause Let my flaws shine through petty crimes absolved, you Better Call Saul [Voice Clip] A lot of other people would still be alive right now. The fact is, Walter White couldn’t have done it without me Verse 2: [Nonazz] Let’s fucking get it, woo! Ayo ayo ayo ayo uh, uh, let’s go, yo Scattered ash, tapping cross the broken glass Floating past my lonely acts of smoking gas in open bandos slowly crashing down beside the cul-de-sacs (talk to ‘em! Roads of different paths, I chose the trail where the fork was at (fork) I been so conflicted, missing visits from my shortened past (fuck that) Mourning matters, pushed away from normal drafts I climbed beside the walls below the broken shafts Pouring gas, your boring ass ignoring all important facts (fuck) Assure your raps, I store the pack beside quarry’s open track (woo!) Moving like a train of freight I paint beside the tainted gates and crumpled fences (spray it) Stumbled in the tenses of the words I question Curving edges, shining through the darkness like a burning candle (woo!) (Yo) Merge my shit ease as I preserve this handle Verse 3: [Sneaky Preacher] The light caster, impolite bastards get spiked backwards Mic jackers should (think of a light that shines) You engulfed in darkness, turn your body to a heartless carcass Cuz you stepped to the god when I was tryna spark spliffs Top product yet to drop objects in the market But when I do know I’ll be shining, aligning my targets The alabaster artist, Sun reflects through the eye of a marksman Kicks white as the arctic, I rock the champion parka Through late nights, relay the plight, darkest before the dawn reaches my sight Mind was gone so shit was aight, but had to reflect on my life Shining back on who I’m alike, through my travels reached respite Chilling out of sight, but if I have to fight turn to iron Mike Swinging the right, back on the ropes living life in the scope Lost control almost got shot down from the grassy knoll But recited my quotes to enlighten those folks Stuck in a hole, had to climb out shining down to the soul And you know

Verse 1: [No God.] NODUO shit Secret Scriptures Look, Good spliffs got me pondering my existence Walls thick like chrysalis from blows to my innocence Blissful of my ignorance, penmanship is intimate Felt betrayed by my best interests Sunk relationships from greater distance Exiled below the heavens blew it in remembrance It was always self defence but never preservation Pure elation, severed ties left my mind racing, always hatin’ Dividing piles from our paper chasin Lost lives across the nation, genocide while the price inflated Systems thrive on participation Rigged n racist, hiding places stay the saving grace Weaponizin murder rates left cases buried littered in mistakes White lies they perpetrate are escalating till we die I tried to empathize, the stroke work excites her cries Empty prayers to the skies left with no replies Hook: [No God. & Nonazz] It’s do or die Haze fills the night sky Blazed the fire, tried to free our minds What’s the point in ever tryin’ We lose our spines when we try Already died It’s do or die Haze fills the night sky Blazed the fire, tried to free our minds (yuh) What’s the point in ever tryin’ We lose our spines when we try (yuh, yuh) Already died (yo, uh) Verse 2: [Nonazz] My lil homie said “ooo you got money now” It’s funny how they never wanna come around, tried to knock my hustle down Been a couple rounds in this shit, but ain’t nobody tryna stop me now I got the posse loud and I could give a fuck what they be talkin bout It’s not a thought in doubt I used to drop beide the foggy routes Smoke about an ounce or less Whatever all these mothafuckers could amount cannot impress Poisoned by the mind, they stuck inside a paradoxic mess Puffin’ haze from out the terrace in a pondered quest Fonded by the memories that brought my sorrow rest I’m still on that same shit Without a pay to slip Pacing in a blatant drift Adjacent in My pages thick I got the scripture from an ancient gift Afraid to mix with all the differences my wages shift Entangled with the god I pray within In abundance with relationships I gotta keep my labels thin It's do or die Haze fills the night sky Try to think about these moments till we outta time Crowded lies taking over minds Can’t be caught within the sins that leave us all behind

Verse 1: [Nonazz] yo, ayo, uh, yo dutch master rolled inside the shatter toe tapper hoes scatter send a couple fractures to your homie’s after ain’t compatible the shit they say is laughable i pass the roach to nazareth, the god is bout the stacking dough cashing more i’m only paid in full the paper chase attainable his stories bout the waves that he created was a fable though the sickest brown to rap, this shit is not debatable the crown intact the price become inflatable major growth was witnessed i ain’t stoppin till im lost in all these digits lighting blunts beside the bridges copping swishers mocking interest flashes of these thoughts diminish seasons changing, stuck inside these hot winters smoke you like a potsticker took a break from shit but we just got sicker Bridge: [Nonazz & No God.] They not on the same wavelength and shit You feel me? Yo NODUO in the building yo (Secret Scriptures) Light industry shit Verse 2: [No God.] Look The path to righteousness already thin Spinning king of limbs, early evening metro trips I’m rockin dirty timbs Spliffs hittin often lift my spirits, gifted optimism Weighed my options penning rhythmic consequentialism Contradictions guarded hidden in my compositions Kant’s dilemmas used to hinder many past decisions Grasp the limits, cash diminish, rappin scriptures, task deliberate Sailor’s spinach, super strength to body competition Got altered senses while I’m floating off the indica Split you like slopes and integers, remains are linear She let me hit because compared to her I’m prettier (that’s a true story by the way) Look Cursed descents of Horus always worn through currency of war Stay the course, soaked shirt stains permeate my pores Strained force had me layin sprawled across the floor Toking torches, shook and scorched, till my lungs were sore

Crash pt. 2 03:20
Verse 1: [Nonazz] Yo, yo Yo, Nazz NODUO Ayo, yo, yo The moon slowly shine I rode beside the sun as I adjust my blinds Running down a rugged ride, I musta had my optics high Feeling like I’m stuck from staring at the sky Sharing all the times that I would perish in abundance lies Wish that I was vocal more about my struggle Left em all across these metaphors from all the doubt I stumbled Stick and stones ain’t break my bones and muscles but they left some trouble My vision slowly lost the shutter As I witness all these others free before I drown another Underneath the blank expression lies some more than meets the eye Sometimes I just wish I was normal guy All of my immortal rhymes is holding boulders rolling down my tilted mind It took a lot to keep them stabilised I wish I never stayed behind to learn the darker truth Parting routes with demons in my larger groups Thought they was a friend till they show off the roots You could always cherish someone when they never cared for you That’s just how they interfere with you Spare the news, I played it fair and had to face unbearable Crash my feelings out in somewhere outta view People say they proud of you but that can’t help distracting you Wish I never had a simple attitude they take advantage outta you Sail myself away for all that’s left to be Wish that I could watch my worries rest in peace Separate these entities from tempting me That’s just how it’s meant to be but they could not contempt to me Say goodbye to all before I set it free Verse 2: [No God.] Look Crossed abandoned train tracks talkin with my dawg Nazz Futures optimised our contrast from being outcasts Trapped inside the depths of black the sadness let my soul crash Contemplate the abstract, distracts me till my lungs collapse Awkward off the prozac, doomed tryna get the cash Looming through the cracks was two Judases and a will to rap Sessions in the summer probably saved my life Always had the skill to write, shoutout to the bros who led me to the light Potential seeming prodigal I overcame my obstacles Whispers from apostles so I knew my death was possible From genesis to knowin my idols, partnership is conjugal Almost out the hole and found my soul I almost lost hope Tunnel vision slowed when depression had me in a choke Hold me grounded, love to my folks they kept me close Folded under pressure then my spirit rose Outgrown many problems inner solace start to impose

Verse 1: [Nonazz] Yo, ayo The captain wave his signal As I sail my ship away from land Digging holes beside the grand canal Below the pirates hands Soaking up beside the sand The love that fell was all plan I had to re-examine Bleeding smoke from heated canons Watching as the breathing sun would vanish and the rain would follow Might as well jus let it fill the earth and let it drown my sorrow Hope I see tomorrow Tying ropes as I proceed to swallow Breathing in the hallows, till I found the message in the bottle Floating in the waves, I rest assured before I read the scripture Took some time to get the picture, but soon I set it on my way Tryna find a place to call my own to stay, mostly always known to play these games But I can’t say that I still felt the same All I really needed was escaping from my day-to-day Struggles left in wages, turning pages of my fabled maze Looking back, my vision that I had all a faded haze Making changes, ain’t no taking risks before I see my fate My demons told me But soon I learned to let go Passing through the busy city as I rode the metro I broke my pedals, tryna ride the waves Took some time to find my place But now I see the light that shine beside the rays Lonely journeys, stranded from the rest I can’t suggest I simply manifest my plan that I been sketching depth Present left me second guessing Never let the stress forget me Seperated, less perfected, still I said goodbye to all I ever met Verse 2: [No God.] Secret Scriptures I went from seein- Colours combine to grey skies all the time Beams cut a line, I peered through blinds, spent too long inside Blasting Shrines out the speakers, alkaline it smeared the sneakers Turning brine to ether, riverside, I’m burnin reefer Texting Z and Preacher swapping demos while I puff sativa Often bleekens, meds caused my thoughts to weaken Wallowing and anaemic off the Nietzsche I was reading Optimist off the deep end, wrong things would start to creep in Ottawa winters freezing, arms recede, my posture steepens Lost the laws of reason cost my heart and hardened feelings Fodder would spark the beacon through the fog I saw a clearing Pardon my altruism, sorrows speared me through her treason Wanderin harsh seasons, hollow breathing, hardly fiending Bond to better regions, got disorders I was sparsely eating Crossed the seven seas, saw the bird flocks started fleeing I squashed my dreaming, used my artistry to stop the bleeding Artistry on the cross and yet it couldn’t stop the bleeding Pondering all my conscious choices why am I still breathing God’s decision, opulence and greed were never offered to me My rotten living, I’ll let my sins dissolve me fully Dissolve me fully
