Yeah

What goes around comes around
grit your teeth and then bare down
1 shot and you're going down
face down and you're on the ground
I told you to quite down
This lesson taught so profound
This flow has been world renown
and I'm being humble and rounding down
Don't you?
Want to?
Be the very next victim that I should go through
you don't think I should taunt you
straight put you to sleep,then I just drop you
I fought through the fire and the flame
forged in the fire till only steel remains
I vow to be your bane
sleeping inside your veins
Infecting dissecting all of the sections of your brain.
YEAH watch it come around (4x)
They say that karma is a bitch
and yours is the 1st name on my hit list
you fucked around and got me pissed
you know I had to bring it back now
you know I couldn't resist
1 shot wouldn't have missed
now i must persist
on a consistent basis
not as oasis, moving undetected
in and out of places, Time races
Misplaced the paycheck
nothing ceases to amazes
confined in cages
inner soul rages, flip the pages
I said I think i know I'm going through some stages
I'm changing, Standing in a blaze and still inhaling
slowing down time to refresh the mind on the daily
when it comes it comes unannounced and it feels
like this couldn't be more real I fail to see the appeal
You had the spin the wheel turn around flip from face to heel.
YEAH watch it come around (Repeat)

The Way Shit Goes
03:44
|
|||
|
Narrowly evaded a mind less elevated
consciousness levitated. Attention confiscated
The outcome still debated
A work or shoot? Premeditated
Does it even matter when the crowd still leaves elated
Blessed and unconsciously undressed
Mind in a mess
Time to confess
2 to the chest
cardiac arrest
Repressed until recessed
Becuase of me you'll never get the best
May I suggest long periods of rest
Your eyes look stressed
You need to decompress
All of these feelings you suppress
Leave it up to me you know I'll handle all the rest.
That's the way that shit goes sometimes
And I must be going blind
You know that that's the way that shit goes sometimes and i must be going out of my mind
The outcome undecided
Although I try to hide it
You know I have to fight it
not a lamb I'm a lion
Natural born killer
Top of the food chain
Put pen to paper
Stimulate the left brain
Slightly insane
Dancing in the rain
I stand before you self-proclaimed king of pain
Who crashed in the fast lane
from this point on you know its never been the same
This is what some do to try and maintain.
But I could never do that I could not go through
Looking at myself in the mirror screaming who dat?
And who dat laughs back
Under attack from the ego still intact
Am I on the right track
Bring me some more beef
I'll hand it right back
You know that's how it goes sometimes tryings never been a crime
And it goes that way from time to time another day another rhyme.
(I am slowly going crazy 1.2.3.4.5.6 switch,crazy going slowly am I 6.5.4.3.2.1 switch.) repeat till end
Chorus

According to Touch
03:47

I remember when I first caught a glimpse of you
Our eyes meet and I'm not sure if the rest is true
But I fell deep in lust with you
and how do I explain in words,what I wanna do to you
When words fail
Morals on a sliding scale
Be discreet, Tempted between the sheets
According to Touch
I shall not rush in
it's more than I can handle
it's all too much. (2x)
Addictions, prescriptions
This curse is self-inflicted
The cure was rejected and you seem unaffected
Suspected connected entwined and misdirected
It's hectic expected I snuck in undetected
Broke through your walls
Cushioned all your falls
Whispered sweetly took care of all completely
I knew...
I knew....
I knew I wanted you
I knew I wanted you bad in the worst way
I remembered it was the 1st and a Thursday
The site of you quenched thirst in the worst way
Dessert Flower standing in the sun's way
I remember I rehearsed what to first say
expert at wordplay
She was co-hearsed by the 1st verse that she heard
She defers to touch when vision 1st blurred
I speak in past-tense when I speak of the absurd
clipped the wings of this beautiful bird
I remember what I heard
I remember when I seen you
and where it first occurred
When words fail
Morals on a sliding scale
Be discreet, Tempted between the sheets
According to Touch
I shall not rush in
it's more than I can handle
it's all too much. (2x)

Going Forward
03:41
|
|||
|
This is the telling of a story
About a life in misery
Damned to repeat mistakes
Not learning from my history
I spit prolifically
Encourage those specifically
Who choose to follow the path
Into infinity
Write scientifically bust mic's with wizardry
I am not the usual suspect don't fit the typically
I paint with imagery
Way beyond the physically enhanced
To, me they lost all credibility
They lack humility
Fell out of anonymity
I gain stability
Work hard make serendipity
You don't believe me
Cross the line this don't come easy
You verse tank dizzy
Leaves you swinging in the breeze
You crossed the line for the last time
It don't phase me anymore
reached out to you for the last time
From this point on going forward
It's unhealthy some trade their souls to become the wealthy
Sneak in so stealthy
they need to move more carefully
Unbearably this crime that ends of terribly
Can't fix with works of charity
No moments of clarity
The situation is a rarity
Way beyond the comparably
I hold my soul to merits b
I'm no religious cleric b
I tried to see pride that rises inside of me
This storm. Inside capsizes me
I tried to fight the tide you see
I keep my head up
They hold me down until I get up this situation I'm fed up till everybody dead up no resurrection
Say a prayer
Pray for protection
Because your just a pussy
This beats my fuckin
Erection.

Bother Me
03:10
|
|||
|
Make haste
It's never too late
Too much on your plate
I'm feeling great
Something inside
Will live and not die
I hunger for my
Piece of the pie
Pie in the sky?
I've been that high
And that's is no lie
But the view I did not see clearly
I said goodbye to my sanity I'm guna miss you dearly
Not really as nearly
As I thought I would
Still up to no good
Am I the only one who misunderstood?
I wish that I could
Fly away from here
Shed no tear
Need to get far away
Opposite of near
Not left unclear
I've always known
I've had nothing to fear
Hoping to sound sincere
Your rubber necking don't look and leer
Wild blue yonder
Brand new frontier
This rap shit is my career
Always push forward
World premier
Then off into the galaxy
And I'll say thank you for the hospitality
This is no abnormality
I've never been the type to be bound by gravity
Of the situation relax breath
Full inhalation
You think you can get to me just don't bother me, (2x)
bother me, bother me,
Your thinking you get to me just don't bother (2x),
bother me, bother me
Your thinking that you're getting to me just doesn't bother me (2x)
bother me, bother me
1 fate
not 1 that was born out of hate
Rock steady
Now hear that I'm coming for'ya
Yall get ready
You're soft as spaghetti
I'm moving past you
Mario Andretti
Move at top speed
Believe,
that I'm the one who put you on your knees
You are the one who is still. begging please
Hoping for a little bit of sanity
Maker and creator of this calamity
I've been known to have a psychopathic personality
Lost all sense of rationality
You're living in my world
My reality
This is no fallacy
I believe I suffer from casual insanity
Fuck shit ass tit
Random profanity
Still, I am a gentlemen
I'll tear you apart as if my name was gentle.ben
I am the one that heaven sent make you fall to your knees and repent
Now before the lights and you feel the creeping death
Full inhalation
Breathe your last breath
You think you can get to me just don't bother me, (2x)
bother me, bother me,
Your thinking you get to me just don't bother(2x)
,bother me, bother me
Your thinking that you're getting to me just doesn't bother me (2x)
bother me, bother me

Hold your Applause
04:20

1st names Tank
middle name is Colossus
try and step to me
am I'ma show you who the boss is
you best be cautious
you'll suffer losses
and start back from scratch tryna figure out the causes
Hold your applauses till the ending of the show
so here we go tryna smash the status quo
swing to and fro
go blow for blow
shout to the boys tryna unlearn what I know
no familiar flow here, not one to be found
ear to the ground tryna find the right sound
when Tank's around you're going down
you'll be really really lucky to get out the 1st round
Close your eyes
what did you find
it's been there the whole time
peace of mind
still unrefined
the subconscious mind still to go blind
3rd eye arise, all aligned
body and mind
Devastated
in the state I'm in I should have been elated
You switched and baited
this bond now desecrated
so vacant vacated
this couldn't be more understated
awaited the fated, lay in the beds we created
soul sedated, pupils dilated,
don't wait for me love I am the long awaited
unabaited, reincarenated king of the underated
undisputed it's never been refuted
teacher surpassed by the students
It's never been more prudent
to uproot the strong rooted
dilute the undiluted
dispute the undisputed
king of pain
I sit atop my thrown
where I reign
tryna figure out those pain
Close your eyes
what did you find
it's been there the whole time
peace of mind
still unrefined
the subconscious mind still to go blind
3rd eye arise, all aligned
body and mind

The Lonely Ones
03:30
|
|||
|
I might be lost
and a little bit deluded
reigning king of pain
still undisputed
clean my brain
my soul feel polluted
I fear I suffer from multiple contusions
Hold no delusions
I drown in my confusions
I had to think hard
and I came to the conclusion
me finding love
is just an optical illusion
my hearts exclusion
forgive the intrusion
I didn't mean to break in
no love for the taking
must've been mistaken
I thought the door was open
maybe I was just hoping that
Only the Lonely Ones
who know just how I feel
It's only the lonely ones
who know this pain is real
yea
Storm at sea
my ship's being tossed
must make it through at all cost
and see you again when our paths do cross
I'll melt that layer on your heart made of frost
and pray one day in your arms I'll be lost
and I don't want to be found
feet will never touch ground
whenever you we're around (2x)
into you, I'll gladly drown
Only the Lonely Ones
who know just how I feel
It's only the lonely ones
who know this pain is real
yea

Take Me Down
04:42
|
|||
|
You make me weak in the knees.
The type to make me beg and plead
And feel the warmth and long for the need
Inside I feel my heart slowly bleed
and It takes me down
It takes me down
It takes me down
It takes me down to the ground to the ground
You bring me more than I could ever want
Insight inside, lessons taught
And bring you more than I have ever brought
And I know that this is something that can not be bought
It takes me down
It takes me down
It takes me down
It takes me down
Repeat till end

Where did u find it
Lost I've gone blinded it slips away
Sometimes I don't mind it
At all cost consider the daily grind it
Breaks men it's coming from all sides
When it calls u stall
Try to brace yourself ready for the fall
No balls at all. Try to answer when the time calls
Just like the rest unsure untested
Lost sense no time invested
Into developing the next new method
Try and slow it down pulse racing hectic
Into your ears, I've infected
Double shot adrenaline cheat injected
Raised from the dead resurrected
Gone without a trace unsuspected
I will not die again
I will live to fight again
No death fight till the last breath
No demise can't hide behind your lies
No end no time to pretend
Your time on earth has now come to an end
No death. Fight till the last breath
No demise see right through your lies
No end attack never defend
Put your affairs in order that's what I'd recommend now.
They find it disgusting
This flow that I'm busting
they didn't know this iron skin never rusting
There was a time in you that I was trusting
Now this bridge is in need if a new trussing
This not what I desire
There is no listing
See ice been living in this fire
And it must mean
That I must go until I retire
Or until I come clean
I jones for this mic
I guess I'm just a mic fiend
Roll it up till I get higher
Now I'm lighting a lot more than
Then just all these lyrics that I'm reciting
The only one standing out up in the lighting feel all this energy
Feel all my senses heightening
I feel like you were just a little too conniving
The definition of will not quit
I am surviving and I know
I said it before but until the day I go
Until death's door, I will be arriving
I will not die again
I will live to fight again
No death fight till the last breath
No demise can't hide behind your lies
No end no time to pretend
Your time on earth has now come to an end
No death. Fight till the last breath
No demise see right through your lies
No end attack never defend
Put your affairs in order that's what I'd recommend now.

Blasphemy
03:17
|
|||
|
You see I barely got my lips wet
And still my competition they drip sweat
Offset by the rest based upon my mindset
No regrets burnt cigarettes leave ashes
The masses hang on to every word just like I'm Cassius, flow slow like molasses
And still only 1 skill set surpasses
Tank dawg give'em what they asked for for
They always pump the same shit out on the dance flow
They need to know that no one is buying never asked to be spoon fed please stop trying.
That bullshit they bringin is so blasphemous
Just remember that the record labels asked for this
They rob u blind without needing a mask for this
And somehow we give them a pass for this (2x)
Tank dawg give'em what they asked for for
They always pump the same shit out on the dance flow
They need to know that no one is buying never asked to be spoon fed please stop trying.
All I keep hearing are the same complaints they say they want something new not held by restraints
Sometimes I really find it quaint
How they think they the shit
But they just ain't
My name is spreading like the chicken pox
Your flow is nasty like a un-kept litter box
And now the world deals with the aftershocks
hoping for some sort fo saftey
Waiting for the bomb to drop

The Pressure
03:29
|
|||
|
I feel the pressure is mounting
I won't rest til the best I'm sure mounting
and I find it astounding, how easily I'm leaving bodies for the counting backflip dismounting, you know it's way too late
you're just another big fish mouth full the bait, head full off hate. Embedded in this mic skills. I might kill,
my enemies in front of me and all of their beloved
bits and pieces of their loved ones all up in my cupboard
no Old Mother Hubbard just Big Poppa Tank
and you can hear them laughing all the way to the bank
yeah I got that genuine flow
higher than the heroin flow throws
I inherited long ago all this power bestowed
held for me and escrow and wouldn't you know that this takes about to blow you know this tank about to blow go
this pressure I'm under it keeps pulling me down trying to take my place the rightful King without a Crown
so give me one last spin on that Merry-Go-Round
and I promise I won't let you down don't let me down now
I live in Defiance
strive to find the right alliance
tween this hate that I crate
and this passion inside
but when you run from yourself
sometimes there's no place to hide
so I'll stand and fight
this fire ignites, this violent invites this riot insights basking in the glory lights
Never had the foresight to know in you In might despise and despite all of this I'll strive for more than this found this abyss.
Dismiss the remnants off the side of the precipice and its a long way down its a long way down

Fair Warning
03:31
|
|||
|
I've only been here for a while
and I must say its good to be back
I'm giving you a fair warning
Tank on the attack
the last thing you see before your eyes go black
I rip and I stab, dip back to the lab
highjacking the cab hits with fists that spinning back
I counter attack Lex Luger and torture racks
no superman no super hero to speak off
I'm fucking this beat up never showing this beat love
in need of another day of reckoning
now I hear my fate is calling me this is my duty calling me
the angel of death armed with lyrics and vocabulary
I tote this cold flow from today back to January
your soul was stolen call your local constabulary
dig a hole 6 ft for this next beat that I bury
(I can go on for days
my flow goes on for days)
I can go on for days
lost in lyrical maze
puff pass the purple haze do as the nice man says
I can go on for days never ceases to amaze
never stunned never set on phase
hypnotized by every phrase
please believe me I never meant to be deceiving
you're on on the wrong end and it reads receiving
misfortune or misbelieving
please excuse me I must be leaving to warn your next of kin of
the loss that they should be grieving in dealing with all this
such trouble in trying times
while I'm up writing rhymes
sharpening the mind
working on this daily grind lets set bygones aside
you see I've never been the type to let things slide
now I tried to hide this pride that resides inside
I never lied I swore I'd die before I would comply
I'll take my chances and fight right where I'm standing
make my advances forever I'm expanding
I'll take what's mine cause that what life demanding
the tanks arrived the fuckin eagle is landing
lets set things straight no misunderstanding
now I'm commanding to bring this beat in crash landing
(I can go on for days
my flow goes on for days)
I can go on for days
lost in lyrical maze
puff pass the purple haze do as the nice man says
I can go on for days never ceases to amaze
never stunned never set on phase
hypnotised by every phrase
now that this flows ablaze
on my throne like yeez and jayz
I'm the first man in the fray
cause I can go for days and day and days.......
