*yyeah yeah, we're back around again/rounding out the trinity Intromish,hustle like rain to laser reyes * the phrase that pays "bukue one what's next?" The letter head project or black fletch? Well... at this point its time to pay homage to...the merging of two entities, "tion bukue" * One name sums it up, both sides of the brain, blue - white collar maintain on both planes, *More than an emcee / had to make room Clear the pathway for the new nome de plume * First - mom given, last-self made, Grinding on dual levels, now its the high grade * before - you knew me as either or..Depends on how you met me - sk8board or graffiti . * fruitvale yard or EMB, just a portion...a side of me, but rarely peeped the whole skit * imagine voltron / first as young lions/ -honing their craft / definin their path * until the time was right when the planets aligned, then they came together synergized and combined. *harmonized by design, group dynamics aligned as they found they complemented * each other. Brothers of the same, important to the game, not knowing of the major changes coming on...* "the renaissance"... industry woes /, along with economic slowdown, body blows * to the status quo, stifled the whole biz flo, but for me that was beautiful, The changing of the guard * diversified talents or ya might get ousted, 
 said it and meant, & strived to document it * 1st spoke upon it in 1 triple 9,I felt omnipotence to sign of the times to come

If yo perceptual filter is effed up then tough luck 7. Conscious optimism is like my night vision 8. putting me in the pole postion to lead the pack 9. To bring em back, give em hope and some rope 10. Not to hang each other but to pullem out of this abyss 11. check yo guages, you could be in the final stages 12.

* soul controlling, Neva folding the hand that's dealt to me Its up to me to manifest destiny * the rest can be, waiting in a jail cell Of mediocrity,.... you know that's not me * no sir ree, bob, that is in not my job ,job title Or career choice... far from it * no runnin around dumbin down my ability Here to build equity investing accordingly * sweat capital Combinin power moves, knowing who's who and who's not worth their wait in salt * caught out there, strugglin earhustlin Not moving a muscle as reputation is plummeting * ja marcus russellin, folks see it clearly That's why I let productivity speak for me * now I let my credibility be the key Opening the doors long before I knock * shot callin yes, and still humble as a rock I've paid dues, no talk, success leaves clues * and I'm hear for you Utilize me as a resource Each one teach pathway is my focus * - turnin the hopeless to hopefull by the handful Through documented steps and the right tools * - combined with true teachers who've... Really live through....... what they're trying to teaching you * and ascend on and on No longer falling victim to venom we'll stay strong!

* I want it so bad, I can't live without it Can't live with out you, I doubt it * wants vs needs/ we caught the disease / co dependancy, a state of emergency * - addicted to what was prescripited - drugs... pushed by pharmeceutical thugs * so called health care tsk they could care less Curing sickness- decreases profits * so they medicate, sedate and supress Masking the prob causin side effects * nuff Side effects, as you try to fix one It just multiplies to worse problems * to fix, mo prescriptions increased profits Vicious cycle, downward spiral * now, whatcha wanted is now what ya need Addicted beyond conscious decisions... V2. *I want it so bad, can't live without it Can't live without you... I doubt it. *I dont what Id do, if it it was true I can't live, can't breathe w/out you * but nah, no codependancy, we rise above Posession has nothing to do with love * true love as we know has been erased by Fear of being alone, fear of being replaced * fear of the alpha male stealin ya girl, So you handcuff her, cause you don't trust her. Jealousy * nothing but... insecure disguised by " its just cause I love you so much" * fallacy- and gurl you don't need a man That treats ya like a 2 when you are a 10 * let that man go stopped trying to save him Being alone's not as bad as being a victim V3 * wantie wantie needy needy Don't really need have of dem believe me * so addicted blown out of perspective only things ya need is whatcha born with * love is the truth, your love is king Not tethered to a person place or thing * thass why falling in love is so overrated Id rather not fall, but share love with all * deserving. upliftment of spirit Through students, teachers and kindred spirits * love if a currency, flowing none stop If you hoard it ya kill the flow "bloodclot" *ya aught not test, the powers of soul control Be the love you look for then ya never at a loss * then no matter the struggle ya still risin up Smellin.. feelin like a million bucks!

1. Come ooonn ...we must open our mind What we've tried got us to this point But to move farward we need to update 2. Upgrade the hard drive its our mind Coommee ooonn relax and trust in us (yes) Out with the old and "try something newww" 3. To get what we want in fact, 4.We have to let go of some habits that tend to hold us back 5. Comfort zones can be like shackles 6.Attached to ya ankles, rooted in the past 1"Come along" the ego, is ya drug of choice The little voice in ya ear, yelling loud and clear To dig in.... stay put, putting up a resistance To change,, maintain status quo keep it the same Ready or not change will come Be prepared for what's yet to be seen, beyond the horizon don't be surprised when How things were are now extinct, forward thinking and 4 sights keeps us in sync Death and taxes... are the only things certain Along with the changing of the states of Mind. Time forgives but never forgets No regrets, the path was laid out for a reason Come along and peep what's going on Let's right as many wrongs and persist on and on,and be strong as can be - and fortify our legacy This time and space is erased on a daily Nothing but the present remains so don't dwell -- sing songs of redemption, learn from our elder's stories they tell And in the next view, look at the lickle yout Not tainted by the doubts and the fear life... brings Reality bites, and life stings But my eyes have seen the miraculous things Mr generous

Takin' *me down memory lane remembering now All the internal prep work showing me how * and who I am to become to this one Young diety. She's my gravity to do it right * keep it true... and all those other sayings We be saying, mantra's we say to stay guided by the light * --in other words....no time to waste Only time to invest, build and progress * plant the seeds and reap the benefits Of kharma Arm the cipher with kindness * yes! make a world worth living in A place inspiring, for our songbirds deja. Verse 3 *She's my.. amel lerrieux, my sade adu My lisa bonet and its a different world today *representative, of all that is free One gyal synergy, queen born royalty *aquarius... spawned outta earth and fire Virgo - gemini - virgin- aquemini * february 5th.... 2008 Her date of birth and a historic day * obama took the lead in the primaries Expanding the realm of possibility breakin' * the types of stereo's that limited options Now sky's the limit no one is stopping this *freight train blazing up the track Our guidance propells her , no lookin back * ---its our job, our role, our position To help the little misses realize her birth vision Deja

* sometimes I wanna rhyme but then again I just wait For the approaching of a toy or a ill ask break * no matter which .....they both get broken off Burnt to a crisp by the human molotov * served like federov, the world is better off .... bill gates to microsoft is me to hip hop * ,,,, ambition beyond, listen we're strong Mission's to prolong the pro fesshion * consistent sessions, home or austin, minneap or boston future shocking *Dem drawls, you'll never find the lou rawls In the world of imitation spaceballs To star wars * so many spoofs.... spin offs and goofs I'm clearing out the channel mode set to allof * I switch to maloof, money cup owning franchises showing we all can be kings * and divine stylers, uplifted through livity self style wisdom its true # I'm just... doing me, hopin you do the same, then we can do us and change the game # strength in numbers for the mastermind session, divided we fall, fumble and drop the ball Verse 3 *.... strength I in Strength in numbers, wonder where I've been * look around and what's found is s.I.n Thus I've been, playin the low, keepin it close To my or-ri-gin * a- alikes and friends.. Famoose, Folkalips no lettin shook ones in *took some ends A bag of chips to invest, in interest Of bettering the brand * letterhead commands...

* perception and reality don't always match In fact can't see relaxed intensity * on the surface, calm, meek and silly like Skateboarding graff writing emcee who's livin life * care free, behind screen you'll find an analytic humanoid, statistics, tipping point to freakonomics * study that, mastermind with yoda then holla back, Create equations extract opinion from facts * identifying what's news and what's proganda, and who's paying for the slanted views we receive * best believe, I've heard the conspiracy theories, but real talk The threat to us is plutocracy (Follow the money) don't be paranoid Open our eyes. Before everything in this country's privatized * that's just one of many topics that gets factored in this rapper's skin and membrane * to maintain balance. Gotta see the dark to appreciate the light, and win the challenge *of being optimistic, ...sharing love enjoying the insightful and annoying * toying with your emotions, but fuck the doom and the gloom I gotta crazy notion that the time is soon * for us who were chosen to lead the way to inspiration and know how to rise and break through * walls, barriers and chains, shackle me not We'll wake up and regain our rightful spot * in the place to be whether the world or just our country Blessed we,.... relaxed intensity :)
