DEFENDER'S RAP

• V.Y.N...huh?....
• (wait for instrumental)
• Imagine passion surging through burdens, blood in vessels cursing.
• Dead doves chirping — this world could've been hell, it's just missing vital aesthetics.
• Pens as medics couldn’t stop heart attacks, but make you accept 'em.
• Cheeks redden: rejection, love, incidents — we've been innocent.
• We were arrogant, some still are, but death is imminent.
• Invisible feathers as evidence — enjoy malevolence.
• Skulls taking a metamorphosis, bumps in the head by reality — it’s pretty cartoonish.
• Pretty selfish, words I comprehend can't be translated in English.
• Some blind folks see more than us, feel more than us —
• We’re cursed to hear the ambulance.
• Curses upon curses heard in verses — the end of man.
• Well, then again, we learned to comprehend,
• Understand, then craft ourselves for what we demand.
• Moon on my skin — productive staying nocturnal,
• The kind of photosynthesis few command.
• Obsession with art was the reason life began.
• When you’re hurt, ask where, never ask when.
• Traumas, comas — do you wanna sleep? Be honest.
• Grasshoppers, melodies of violins of violence set upon us.
• Dream ’til it’s foolish — diamonds under pressure, God is our jeweler.
• Pray for another morning — you might need an inspection.
• Trust God, He made you special — emeralds, diamonds, gold — they’re all valuable.
• Jealousy is obsession, trying to sneak under our skin.
• Get lost in catacombs.
• Isolation, degradation, invitation to a new elevation —
• But your epiphany is too late.
• Stories between bones, each one holds a coal —
• No wonder we’re flammable; our fire burns eternal.
• Wiser if you speak in a lesser tone,
• Bragging about you, while your opposition says it all.
• Life or death — destiny twists your head, even if you’re right or wrong.
• Lost souls in articles, drugs, injections — we fell to mousetraps and our tails will never grow.
• 15 years old and understands what true death is called — forgotten is the end after all.
• Every advice is shareable — I got a soul with a few decimals.
• The more you know, the more you’ll know this world is sinister.
• More people suiciding than the rice kids in Palestine can afford to swallow.
• Eyes are hollow, stacking books to peep outside the sandbox.
• Swinging off from culture to culture — get your hands off my dreadlocks.
• Rapping and wrapping gifts for you to swallow up —
• But don’t open up the cover 'til your heart does so.
• You actually feel — not just see — what I’m talking about.
• Hip hop speaks loud.
• Exposing prophecies — it’s not just me. Go back to Pac’s tapes — we been loud.
• (been loud...been loud)
