Many Realms, the temperature is set
When the only expenditure is the breath
Snake eyes bleed out
Fake ties cut off
You still walking with those crocodile tears
Cause you made your lakebed
And ain't got a dream to put your faith in
Lost without fear
Round here Bossa Nova is the law
To keep the heads ringin'
To keep heads spinning like a dreidel
As my fatal flaw
The only AI i fuck with, is a crossover from Iverson from downtown
Just to check you reachin'
Shout out to DIVERSON, thrivin' since
My heart on my sleeve through the speakers in surround sound
Only thing on my mind, is my brother's light & how i keep it
Even though i can't reach him on the phone
I know the peace within this home is gold
A one stop shop just to stay on top of the forsaken
Can't stop the sacred like light years like the earth quakin'
It's quite clear, right here right now
My family lives in a different state
So we might be playing by different stakes
Different rates for different locations, known & unknown
In a pinch your word & will see through the darkness like embers
Life moves in cycles
I see the rhythm in a vision
Where you at is where you've been
What you have is what you've given
Again & again
Planets revolve & expand
Round & round & round they go
Save the day, save the night
Save a pinch of herb for the right time
Stand on your square
Remember who you are & what you represent
Stay on your toes
My vocation is steady given to heavy rotation & ready at the helm
With Many Realms one shots, guarantee i got room to breathe
And keep it moving like sunspots
A common interest & bombing physics across the city's walls
The tallest one for the largest digits
When the fall does come, who can take it farther
How you livin'? How you expanding? How you commanding what was given you to command?
How you got a spot to rock, what is time when it's off the clock
Life moves in cycles
I see the rhythm in a vision
Where you at is where you've been
What you have is what you've given
Again & again
Planets revolve & expand
Round & round & round they go
Save the day, save the night
Save a pinch of herb for the right time
Stand on your square
Remember who you are & what you represent
Stay on your toes
A pot to piss in, a roof to pray under
And a truth every day stay silent
Made eager by the voice of hunger
Riddle me this, how much faith does it take to receive
& believe in a scholarship of the unseen
Or ignite power through knowledge
Understanding, overstanding
A nomadic spirit guides the eyes to the compass
Up above, below the heavens, within the risen like the bread leavens
Within tradition of what is said
Well-kept within the swagger interplanetary
Stoned is the way of the walk
Home is a path to pave for the brave to every day pray through their art
That's grace truly, one time for the unknown
Two times for the unruly
Life moves in cycles
I see the rhythm in a vision
Where you at is where you've been
What you have is what you've given
Again & again
Planets revolve & expand
Round & round & round they go
Save the day, save the night
Save a pinch of herb for the right time
Stand on your square
Remember who you are & what you represent
Stay on your toes

Many Realms & too many ways
To get paid, to raise the stakes
To roll with a safe bet, to make the bed
Upon blood & sweat & spit & time when it shifts
& light when it's pitched
Just trying to create some meaning amongst the greedy
Thieves who never retreated to receive my steez & size of my decay
A chip on the shoulder, another sip older
Survived by landmines, candlelight & liters of water every day
The first sip's for the dead & long & beyond the here & now
Hear me out
Crying tears in the pouring rain
Pouring concrete around the clock
Breaking ground, breaking atoms when allegory is the private stock
My block is groundlessness
I walk towards the silence & find it serene
From the median to the mean
Traverse my town in one sip, omnipresence in the scheme
The universe and back down the boulevard
In one trip
Haswrath 4Us, i make no promises
Rest on no bed i can't sleep
Rocking since the days of pro-KEDS
Focused & deft
Showing love to Defhaf, what the breath did to know the ledge
One too many nights & days
Too many ways to take flight
Too many ways to fight
Too many ways to make it right
In the same breath, in the same sight
An image gifted with a vintage frame
Checked for the author's name
Tt was far from miniature
Within a similar spirit you create
You were made
In the truest sense
Usually reverted to a mute with the stupid
Unless the new shit knocks 'em off from another day on the fence
I'll remain convinced there's more than one way home
And when i get there, i'll sit there like a meditation
A porcilyn leg as a lamp with a shade with them things that dangle
I'll set up camp & stay around the way though
Greeting rooks with potential investments
Reading books, kicking back with cooks
& putting my best foot towards the entrance
Paving a way out for the ones behind & beyond me
On time cause even the crucifix
I was taught by Coolio, Dub C, Blondie & Onry
And what this music is, is the same thing
The same reason Hazzy on some other shit isn't it
Truth & consequences gaining weight
No bets or threats to be made
With a demo in the breast pocket
Of a vested jacket
the plan is mission impossible
Listen for the obstacle, your teacher & your passion
Can't stop the flow, keep the reefer passin'
It's illogical i know
Get what you give, give what you get
When the staying weight & the moment's transience
Becomes past tense, plans beget this planet's repetition
The latest edition is ill mathematics
Build & destroy in the same breath
Present & past in the same magnet
Saying grace for the HALOMAKER
Above the static...
One too many nights & too many ways to take flight
Too many ways to fight
Too many ways to make it right
In the same breath, in the same sight
An image gifted with a vintage frame
Checked for the author's name
Tt was far from miniature
Within a similar spirit you create
You were made

Sound out the art of the gods
Long arms, reaching through the heart of the stars
Out of bounds to the way beyond
Sound out the art of the gods
Long arms, reach through the silence with covalent bonds
Two breaths let loose with an eye to the sky
Your next best move is to write or die
Habitat comprised of like attract like
Mic attract mind
Light attract rhyme
Mind react like a time bomb ticking
The news was prophetic
The truth is magnetic
And every bit as eloquent when the elephant's in the room testing the dialectics
& this beat was made looking in, looking out thru a gas mask
Dancing through the pyrotechnics
Play as a pawn or sway with the wind when the breeze
Breathes cold air & knocks you off your pieces
Feces on your doorstep in a bag lit aflame
This ain't a confessional, just a few notes on progression yo
All those hours in the library to this day seems insane
And in a way it was, as i made it through the mud & sludge
Trudging through the dim fog with improv & lit dialogue on the reclusive
A decade of days & nights, saying my songs
Writing like a playwright
Crafted a sound you're not used to, so you always know
It's Haswrath coming to you
The reason seasons change
The season for reason is strange
Watching the earth as it sways from its orbit
The who, what, when, why, where & how demonstrated
G-d bless the dead, time test the rest
I'm hard-pressed to escalate it
Haswrath has wrath for us, 4 ever venerated
Sound out the art of the gods
Long arms, reaching through the heart of the stars
Out of bounds to the way beyond
Sound out the art of the gods
Long arms, reach through the silence with covalent bonds
