(Ichiban) Fingers crossed, hope I'm the next lucky contestant/ Jump up to a chest bump, for fortune I was destined/ Break the bank. Statements - make them bold/ Play the role, make it known that I'm worth my weight in gold/ Trying to unearth precious metals, till then I'm unsettled/ Should know better than to meddle with a silver tongued Devil/ A penny for your thoughts, but I won't listen the him/ Been the gold standard, my condition is mint/ The man's trying to nickel and dime me, for lack of better words/ I'm spinning wheels, waiting for cash to register/ Up the ante for the family but it aint likely/ We gonna hit the jackpot - the cost could be pricey/ Situation: dicey. Loosen the tie, stretch the collar/ Win some - Lose some, used to stretching a dollar/ Lurking where the purses be - Emergency! - Why certainly/ Cause currently, there's an urgency for currency/ Terribly unbearable with the variables... THERE YA GOOOOOO! (Shouts to Thes One of PUTS!)

(Mane Rok) (Vrs 1) Long day at the office but we closed a couple cases/ One of our clients, so elated, as to thank us/ Domestic victim but not that some ol' story/ Wife of second in command of the man they call the "Hand of Glory"/ Narcissistic, twisted, dipshit who had the lemmings leaping/ Believing he was Robin Hood, so he led these heathens/ But she testified against her husband, bugging', now she's leaving/ Witness protection and, of course, she has every reason/ My partner couldn't make it, so how could I refuse? Called my wife to say I'm working late, a "white lie," in truth/ What she don't know won't hurt her, we avoided more murder/ That SHOULD be celebrated, plus it won't go further/ There's a professional line, I mean, why I'm tripping/ She invited Jeff & I, and therein lies it's difference/ Have a drink, wish her well, tell her all will be fine/ Pay my tab and be on my way on the B-Line/ (Chorus) The night is on my mind (Vrs 2) She came through the door, I said it before/ I"ll never let a Madame magnetize me no more/ But I've been drawn by her presence since she waltzed up in our office/ A sketchy Betty, but pretty, bet she steady has offers/ Thirsty as I've ever been, slurping down this medicine/ She walks up and says "Whiskey Ginger for this gentlemen/ Me, a Martini that's Dirty, Shaken & Frigid/ But I can warm up to other ideas, we'll see in a minute/" One turned to two, two in to two 1's on my watch/ It's getting late, that's when her hand went from my knee up to my.../ Touchy feely, What's the deal, see? You're so fucking silly/ You know I'm married and your husband will leave me buried, feel me? She threw caution to the wind, knowing she was gone with it/ That's when it hit me, this couldn't even by long distance/ Reached out and touched her, lines started crossing/ Spaced what I had on hold, a life all forgotten/ The night is on my mind...
4.
(DJ AWHAT!!!) "In order to survive in the wild" "Beware, it's a game of survival..." "The city's a jungle, only the strong survive..." MAN VS WILD! (Ichiban) Miles from home, far from any dial tone/ Where flesh picked clean then tossed in a pile of bones/ Past the blue sea a future too bleak/ Frost forms flakes, and each one's unique/ Snow blind on the sabbath feel for the passage/ Volcanoes active and the blackhole massive/ Here where the Yeti's lurk, recall the lesson learned/ Storm is brewing, I can feel it in the temperature/ Battle beast with Bear grills, I tear gills/ Apex predator aiming for the fair kill/ Wander the wilderness, alert for the Lion's pounce/ Scale mountain faces, looking for that higher ground/ Don't get trapped up in a flash flood or/ Get engulfed when the Avalanche acts up/ Lone wolf of the pack and the task is drastic/ Respond - React! Adapt with survival tactics! (AWHAT!!!) "Man Vs Wild" "Basic Animal Instinct" "Rawr Rawr Like A Dungeon Dragon" "RAAARH!" (Mane Rok) Man Vs Wild, Survival of the fittest/ Sharp and on point, something like a bear grill is/ Surrounded by snakes and predators, some saved,/ Some secular; Recluse: Avoid webs of lies, can't blame the editors/ It's Chiefs and no Indians, extinct thru millenniums/ Guerrilla tactics got Ishmael's millennials all in to trends/ Hype beast, psyche's likely leave 'em like lemmings/ Leaping lizards lying, I am tired of pretending/ It's any less than that, now let's adapt, Respect the fact at best perhaps/ Expect some cats to be nothing more than bitches/ All bark and no bite - domesticated dipshits/ Our nexus makes us miss this/ R evolutionary pattern in this circle of L.i.F.E. Revolves around our resolve to stay in pursuit, despite/ Peaks and valleys, whether in storms or sunshine/ Live and die in the Belly of the Beast... (AWHAT!!!) "One Time" "Living the wild" "Man Vs Wild" "Animal Instinct" "Survival of the fit" "Only the strong will survive" "Rawr Rawr Shit" "Man Vs Wild"

"Watch me shoot this mother*******" High score to die for... (Ichiban) Genie got that game with out needing a passcode/ Sorry but the princess is in another castle- Vania, quick to poke the vein in ya/ Difficulty high, so the kids just gave it up/ A need for speed but there's no pause button/ & I'm trying to get the duckets so I go off hunting/ These kids got hand cannons like they a fan of Samus/ Scan the panoramic trying to find a secret passage/ They in tutorials, meanwhile I'm at the boss level/ Count the lucky stars, but when they run out - not special/ Turbo burn foes, stay schooling the noobs/ TecmoBowl Loc Bo knows pulling the jukes/ Get off my joystick, maneuvering while I'm boosting/ Improving the blueprint, contusions from Hadukens/ & I don't need no cheat codes, or a book for guidance/ Ichi been a ninja, playing out the gaiden/ (Chorus) High score to die for... (Mane Rok) Put your quarter up to deal with the Up Ups and Down Downs/ Left Rights Left Rights - that's LIFE In surround sound/ Coming from all angles, contra sieging space invaders/ Trust the shooters call of duty like Sammus' - thank me later/ Here comes a new challenger -taking over leaders, bored/ I don't play but got game since you used to need a cord/ Now folks disconnected lost in virtual realities/ Truth is what their mind crafts is actually fallacies/ Finally fantasies overran by monstrous rampage/ Aint even on the same level, much less on the damn page/ Get ate, bit, scarfed down, chewed up and spit out/ Kirby dominate King DiDiDi's mumbling mumby big mouths/ That's child's play, vidiots, if it gets more intricate/ Simpletons simply miss the gist of the missions riskiness/ Put it in perspective - first person - pole position/ My soul's caliber is unmatched, consider notice given/ GAME OVER
6.
(Ichiban) Horrible, deplorable, but DAMN she's adorable/ More like a Princess Peach and Ichi's just a horny toad/ Greet 'em with open arms, I aint ever too scared/ Lovely lipped Honey Dip, I role-play the Pooh Bear/ Goddess flaunting up on their IG page/ Press 'follow,' 'double tapping' - got the eyes amazed/ & the status is savage when she uploads the ass pic/ Fellas stopped in their tracks as she piled up the traffic/ Dimples looking sinful, now I'm looking at my kinfolk/ With a stank face saying 'Imma need her info/' Whether here at home, other states or overseas/ Sacrebleu, Pardon moi, s'il vous plaît, moncherie? Studied the curves, in my mind trying to backtrack/ Hard to look past that assclap on a snapchat/ #Blessed and plus she fresh like they just flew it in/ Body speaks a language I'm just trying to be fluent in/ (DJ AWHAT!!!) "My name is Pussy Galore" (Mane Rok) You ever dance with the Devil under Friday Night strobe lights? Honey's intoxicating, might say "Hi, Low Life!" Or play her role: Sesame Street Magician/ Waves her hand, seems basic, then you notice things be missing/ She's dark and dastardly - can cause catastrophe/ Conniving frame of mind - a gawddamn masterpiece/ So fly, defies every known law of gravity/ Stops you in your tracks, breaks your neck, expect some atrophy/ Never see her coming, call that faking if you wanna/ Need a lesson? She schools heads in tanks full of piranhas/ Glamazonian Queen - most powerful piece in play/ On her "Veni, Vidi, Vici," It's easy to seize the day/ Pushing buttons, fool it's nothing, manipulating masses/ Mademoiselle excels, exploiting interest in her assets/ Paid her dues, she rakes it in, homie, she aint a hoe/ But that fierce, feminist, fighter you fear gonna take control!
7.
(Mane Rok) Looking like Jesus at the last supper/ Surrounded by snakes, when the crowd loves ya/ Who's this ruthless Judas/ Doesn't matter bro/ He only has one goal, leaving you on sabbatical/ Alien predator making you to pray to your God/ Pleading for your forgiveness - when you face this mirage - FUGGIDABOUTIT! It's a tale as old as time is/ Reminded when we're blinded, what divine design did/ Led us to this moment; Lock, Stock and Barrel/ Careful getting loaded, shot's awful narrow/ Caught in cross hairs, split ends justify the means, right? Left handling troubled waters, solo's, how you see life/ Catching waves - COWABUNGA! - Michelangelo stroke/ Murder penned to pages like when Maya Angelou wrote/ Surprise ending for that final chapter, find out after/ Which buddy's hand is bloody and left you with spinal fractures (Hook) Outta line in the King's Court?! FUGGIDABOUTIT!!! How many fugazi ring's bought?! FUGGIDABOUTIT!!! Anything you need, boss!! FUGGIDABOUTIT!!! FUGGIDABOUTIT!!! FUGGIDABOUTIT!!! (Ichiban) All along play the man in the white hat/ Seen them rats get whacked, snap goes the mice trap/ Keep cover at all cost, don't get lost in their ways/ Watch what you say or get your body filleted/ Any instance, get sent for in an instant/ Eh, Capiche? Wouldn't wanna sleep where the fish swim. Mob street blues, rocking concrete shoes/ Better make an offer they can not refuse/ Another spoke on the wheel, riding along/ A wise guy, even right when he's wrong/ With respect comes loyalty, don't wind up in a trunk/ Far from a fugazi, a diamond in the rough - it's like Minkiah, hold the canoli, aglio e oli over a plate of raviolis/ Made men bust balls, no way to get around it/ Elephant memory, could never really FUGGIDABOUTIT!!! (Hook)
8.
(Ichiban The Japanese Cowboy) Mukashi Mukashi There once was man His name was Ichiban He roamed the streets for many night Looking for one thing... Kick in the door waiving ninja swords/ All you hear is "Ichi don't hit me no more!" Macchio audio, "hit 'em with a body blow"/ Manos De Fierro paid a visit to the barrio/ Said I'd ride with you if you can get me to the border/ Kesatsu's after me for what I did to his daughter/ I did it like that, I did it like this/ I did it with a broken Bokenn stick soooo... We mobbing 'round with gold bounties on our dome piece/ Roam streets, ducking deputies and all the police/ (Manos De Fierro Mane Rok) Esperate guey, we're too wide out in the open (Ichi) I spot an Izakaya so we rolled in with a ronin/ Geishas from A to Z, that's when one gave a wink/ Said "Sumimasen but I have the law chasing me"/ She grabbed my hand and then led us to her quarters/ The she told us "Sorry, I was just following orders/" It's a fucking trap - had T's crawling everywhere in that bitch! (Mane) Pinche Malinche Vendida, no te digo! I'm an American Citizen! I have my papers...MIS PAPELEEEEEEEES!!! & they're full of that fuego, to burn all you perros/ Forged in these flames with my Manos De Fierro/ While one creates... (DJ AWHAT!!!) "THE OTHER DESTROYS!" (Mane) This aint a game boy, aint here to fuck with you toys! Or this Yakuza ruca, nunca been double crossed like this/ A part of me's the Art Of Peace... (Ichi) AIKIDO TOSS THIS BITCH!! (Mane) So put up your dukes and let's get down to it! Hit 'em with a headshot, Ichi followed with 2 kicks (Ichi) The clock struck High Noon - Church bells sounded/ Heard a voice yell out: (AWHAT!!!) WE GOT YOU SURROUNDED!! (Mane) There's no other way, we have to fight thru the blockade! (Ichi) But I made a vow not to use my Karate/ FUCK IT! That's when the bodies started flying/ (Mane) AGUAS! (Ichi) Ducked quick - barely missed the iron/ Militant tactist had to use all of our facets/ (Mane) Hit 'em with a roundhouse! (Ichi) Throw a spinning backfist! Think fast Ichi - scan the sight and analyze/ (Mane) WAAAAAA!!!! (Ichi) What the fuck was that?! (Mane) It's a battle cry?!?! (Ichi) Dude's trying to escape (Mane) Quick grab that guy!! (Ichi) C'mon 'mano, channel your inner samurai!! (Mane) Watchate guey (Ichi) Guard took a blow to the face/ Looked around, bodies lying all over the place/ (Mane) 'stas loco (Ichi) Hai! Welcome to New Asia! Jacked their horses along with two geishas

(Ichiban) Out preaching to the choir 'Bout seeing a sea of liars/ Found eager to lead empires directly to their afterlife/ (Mane Rok) Average types strap up their boots and nose dive off a cliff/ Head over heels, leads to a heart choked esophagus/ Out preaching to the choir 'Bout seeing a sea of liars/ Found eager to lead empires directly to their afterlife/ (Ichiban) Average types strap up their boots and nose dive off a cliff/ Head over heels, leads to a heart choked esophagus/ (Mane Rok) AMEN! Hallelujah! Shout it from the mountain tops!! Stay Tuned to the gods so you don't miss out when our album drops!! Remote Control hopeless souls, push buttons till they change their minds/ Takes some time, plus tithes of 10% - that aint a major crime?! Jesus! Who gets crucified for petty theft?! Ready? Set? GO! after Fetty Guap - lemme guess?? Darker the berry the more likely it'll get squeezed// Business been risky, but it's those that's been like "BITCH PLEASE!! Aint shit to a meddling boss, middle-man, manager/ To find some poor saps to feed off and take advantage of/ Tell them they'll see the light if they close their eyes - PRAY!!" It's only natural sheep attract wolves - NAMASTE!! Bow those heads in servitude, if we know the purpose truth/ Then we know no news is new, now tell me if I'm losing you!! Been telling fools I'm infallible, that my word is bond/ Ties to leave your thoughts in knots - LOST - and unsure what's wrong!! (Ichiban) Check the TV Guide, tune in to the televangelist/ Slap 'em with the jacket, miracles is what the practice is/ Take a leap of faith but might be anointing the fake/ Charlatan pastor praying with poisonous snakes/ Conviction affliction, false prophets on the radar/ Servants holler "Hallelujah!", eyes locked on the daystar/ While the Apocrypha, they feed it to the fire Blessed is he who's been preaching to the choir/ Sickened, got the jitters, water glisten and it shimmers/ Been living with the sinners, so they dip 'em in the river/ Fanatical, radicals rollercoast - Hokey Poke/ Trying to catch the Holy Ghost, overdosed, soul exposed/ Priests selling fairy tales greeted with ovations/ When they pass the basket make a healthy donation/ Devils on the heel of the prodigal apostle? God spell with the gospel till the followings colossal!!
10.
(ichiban) Lurk inside the shadows in the corner of the corridor/ Creep up from behind with a towel dipped in chloroform/ No tussle, limbs buckle - bind up in a bundle/ Cautious not to leave a single sign of a struggle/ Steer the tan van just beyond the hilltops/ Turn 'em to a missing face posted on a milk box/ A learning guide, turn on the ID channel/ Lightbulb - idea spark! - light the candle/ Got secret panels installed behind the mantles/ Wake up trapped in hidden rooms, but they won't find the handle/ Hold 'em captive to the point they think "He not so sinful"/ But it's just another classic case of Stockholm Syndrome/ Detectives come knocking, ask them to step in/ Serve 'em coffee, play dumb - acting is the method/ American psychopath, fan of violence/ Remain inside the chamber, all the lambs are silent/ (Chorus) Gruesome scene Stomach starts to turn Been a Harbinger of John Carpenter Morbid horror flick Mask and a meat clever We be the narrators Tales from the Crypt Keeper (Mane Rok) Freak show carnival, cackle remains remarkable/ Reminder that the past laid our path, and shows how far to go We got hella stories, eye popping allegories/ Hindsight clarification on where we fell from glory/ Columbine killers, unassuming florist types/ All got a role to play, some of us the morbid kind/ Hair raising undertaking, digging where once foresaken/ Thin skins seen it as sin and as though you summoned Satan/ Death is real, respect it's will/ Whether it's natural or manmade a lesson's instilled/ Well, at least that's what the hope is/ The way they wrote it, though, even God sent more than locust/ The joke is, if you're paying attention,/ No one makes it alive, you're wasting each second/ Looking for a meaning, meaning you aint gonna be beckoned/ Best believe at best in pieces is how you'll be resting...
