pharoah in my past life
02:46
|

Cold stares down long streets
Corrupt politics constant rain and long weeks,
Night outs with the same old faces,
3:00am shifts its write mode
Words in abundance while breaking down tri-cones tryna find zones way past time zones
A place way more astral tho a plane caught never take me there
For every life gained this month know someone that’s lost one
To think chasing a dream could cost one, a spiritual currency unbound to conversion
The 1% create diversions, raise consumers
So we raise kings queens and tutors
Same way from young I was good with computers
Wonder who was in my bloodline 1000 years back
A history erased, purposely possibly
Work the economy peep the psychology
5:39 my break starts
Light another incense and place the towel under the door
The earth holds truths in its core
Way more truths in the floor
Don’t like the idea of robots your future is flawed
Suns already up I’m just preparing for bed
Ash on my sheets
Gas off the leash
Mark of the beast
Sit still like a pharaoh when he sleep with my arms cross
Find me in the tombs with my heart loss
Kinda wonder what your heart cost
Fuck around with money get your heart lost

hell out of dodge

Spoke to the lord, said what’s the moves he said steady your course
Been consistent but ain’t have as much leverage before
You see the throwbacks before you see me step in the door
Miyagi pop shit like I’m the one beheaded the corpse
I’m the thought about the thought that’s ahead of the thought
Dope smoke n good music seems that’s all he was taught
Global sports bush market where the fitted was bought
Now I get em by marcy I ain’t Gotta import
Don’t really give a fuck what your on tho, he count cake and move a lil nameless like John Doe
the midnight writer got the hell out of dodge, had to take another route cuz the feeling was odd
These dim lights get to fucking with my insights
These dim lights get to fucking with my insights
These dim lights get to fucking with my insights
These dim lights get to fucking with my insights
Capital punishment in the speaker ima Tommy the shorts
I been running way from the leachers ain’t fell pressure before
They showing love but we weren’t getting extras before
Ain’t seen me with magazine discussing textures before
Move a lil two face cuz he ready for war
We really live this rap shit, treat shit like a law
Smart the moves up now he’s managed to get in the door
Tongue sharpened up so now he get deadlier or
He figured out a whole new format
Your shit wack that why your raps treated like a doormat,
I’m back on my tical shit I kick Steve segal hit harder than off a Stella on some wild shit
Shit now they clipping like a barber on some paparazzi,
Still gone give it right back if the pack is nasty
I can’t fuck with the vibe if it’s extra classy
Need bread for the verse don’t forget to ask me
Don’t really give a fuck what your on tho, he count cake and move a lil nameless like John Doe
the midnight writer got the hell out of dodge, had to take another route cuz the feeling was odd
These dim lights get to fucking with my insights
These dim lights get to fucking with my insights
These dim lights get to fucking with my insights
These dim lights get to fucking with my insights

Nowadays they keep him locked up in the basement, a monster with this rap shit, Cthulhu when he move through still bet that they gone chat shit, SAID THE flow cold every 4 bars hit the chapstick
A star like Patrick, non sport hat-ricks, off wall backflip lighter your Some matches, weekly with flavours might start copping batches, heard he bite snatches by the door with 4 latches then jeans apply patches
bag got delayed just cuz me n shorty maxing, might fuck her to some max b, just employed myself, watch city try and tax me, woke up one morning i was playing mad max theme, rolled up cuz we gone make art while we stack Gs
might lava cuz she just around the way, cool another rap check shit it’s just another day, used to couldn’t leave the kitchen till a nigga cleared the plate, now a couple of my niggas they be really clearing plates
Trust the lord he don’t make no mistakes, disrespectful blow a 8th in ya a face, he gone extend the hand for the Taste but ima blow the doink then go hit the estate, hit google maps then were right out the way, and then were back with some bills in the case, don’t make no mistake

the water rises up

Told myself fuck a job I’ll build a mob, was running with them sinister niggas, niggas who robbed, picked up a pen like it I’ll write a log,
writing down hardships, smoking on car trips, wavey by the bar sit dolo thinking back on how i got here,
playing illmatic knew that one day I’d be top tier, back at the open mics we barley even got cheers, now promoters running in they be asking if I’m good
Ain’t never needed much if it’s not already understood, more merch getting shipped threw them shits in the duffle, every time I hit NY it brings back my hustle,
Cuz the world won’t wait and the money don’t sleep, we applying all the hurt, that’s more money off a verse still on my first shoe box all crazy how I do pot
Its like the water rise up but it do stop
Said the rain won’t stop if the sun don’t shine
(the water rise up but it do stop)
Patience a virtue ima take my time
(the water rise up but it do stop)
Even told u back then ima make u mine
(the water rise up but it do stop)
We been in it too long they can take my shine
Wah wah wah wah
Lukewarm when they shit makes it way down, might not see it leave cuz he still grip they trey-pound, left the block chasing snow bunnies like a grey hound, not a fan cuz ur still coming with the same sound
leave me alone I can’t cope too many people wanna link up, that’s another show but I ain’t even gonna drink up, weed like oxygen the room always stink up, few extra syllables it really make em think up
Said the rain won’t stop if the sun don’t shine
(the water rise up but it do stop)
Patience a virtue ima take my time
(the water rise up but it do stop)
Even told u back then ima make u mine
(the water rise up but it do stop)
We been in it too long they can take my shine
Wah wah wah wah

AP just let it burn he like usher, know she still want dick i won’t rush her, whether oil well or the sweet the flow gusher, AP milking the cat I want Crusher,
AP buss dope moves he type local, rap everyday in my room he not social, put in hard work for a while now sound global, the sublime plus energised divine totals
Sensei switched up modes to give lessons, made it this far n he never did grip weapons, but made rap money so flee when kick stepping, used to get 50 for shows now big check him
Back to the lab grab a vinyl when its weed time, labels in my emails cuz there business on a decline, even though we broke up told me shawty we would be fine, like how u rap ignorant n barely seen crimes?
From the zip that get split, to spliff that get lit, to the show that get hit for dough
Get that cash n dip, rehashing that shit, then taxing that bitch for mo
From the zip that get split, to spliff that get lit, to the show that get hit for dough
Get that cash n dip, rehashing that shit, then taxing that bitch for mo
Overlord been in his feels he might loose it, heard a few screws was loose he lose em, know u got some low down traits he might use em, future it was already written he aint choose it
Apex off psychedelics he been drawing, archive pieces for sure he got more in, runway shows observe the contouring, been selling merch but now he dove more in
EM still on the rise might start touring, we don’t force the vibe makes life boring, since he single he out been whoring, in the back room with ya yat like Bring more in
Got the styles on lox the flow kinda sheek, kissing on my face her name Jada thats my kinda freak, coming up 1000 thats my kinda week, big body, woofers in the back thats my kinda jeep
From the zip that get split, to spliff that get lit, to the show that get hit for dough
Get that cash n dip, rehashing that shit, then taxing that bitch for mo

Do you best fam
Do you worst g
Pass that test fam
Don’t try hurt me
Been through mad shit
Still up early
Still got old karma
Still might burn me
Fuck it meet in hell with a S-curl, situation long really I don’t want a next girl for now, just wanna play a set get em loud, mama proud said I’m turning to a man, EM for Adidas there was billboards in a Milan, I could quit right now shave my shave my head start a band, drop a beat tape n fly out to cali cuz I can, sun beating so my head so it get wrap like Taliban, trailer park boys smoking Ricky in the caravan, reevaluate your steps if your patterning a gang
Louis so for culture like I am n they call me the goat cuz that’s really what I am
*sing hook*
sorry I made you wait long, time to give you everything I made of
Niggas still singing the same song, they’ll fall off it won’t even take long
New day New weed
Roll that gas
Cop that QP
Get the cash up
Don’t think negative
That brings bad luck
Mum get helped out
Rest get stashed up
Fuck it meet in bush where the trees at, said I aint wavy can’t believe that he believe that, must of relapsed the only way that he could achieve that, sing like max, favourite lyricist was 3 stacks, almost tapped in different levels I achieve now, just killed the track feds rushing to the scene now, n you claim your like me must of saw it in a dream now, rap niggas my kids like they sitting on my knee now, member days buzzed stomach grumble off the tree oww, today I hit the strip n don’t know what eat now
Like rah should should get the Chinese with greek now

Haram
by Armand Hammer & The Alchemist
supported by 6 fans who also own “darkskies”
I know I'm a bit late to the game, but I discovered this project earlier this year in January. I was a bit hesitant to check it out at first, due to the album cover picture, title, and bizarre band name. But I'm really glad I did. There isn't a dull moment on this whole thing, and there's something to chew on in each lyric spat. I don't regret checking these guys out. They've opened my mind up to a whole new world of art, music, and Hip-Hop that I was only somewhat aware of existed previously
