AllOne:

I watch the sets they play

And soulless music that they generate

I'm sorry it's not something I can venerate

The generic tepid attempts they make

I got it, you wanted to entertain

But there ought to be a better way!

If it isn't "thugs with weaponry

Slinging drugs and excessive pay"

The feminine gender disrespectfully referenced

Or sexual preference degraded then its disseminating

The desperate vain aggressive claims they're "special"

And they'll "never fade". sounds rather pathetic eh?

Lets debate: If you're so intense and greatly creative

Then authenticate! I mean what'd you expect we'd say?

Try new topics, lets be honest, would you expect positive

Responses from a boss at a job if you jotted

"I have a marvelous resume" in the margins of your resume?

D.o.drent:

Hip hop's Pawnographic, everybody fucks with you

But how come I can't see the point of view

In a nutshell, out of the ordinary

In response, gut feeling and facilitative commentary

Telling, every emcees integrity...

...falsely accused has mistaken identities

But maybe memories, serve me correctly

You kept it 100, the (turn of the) century...

...was entirely mine...so keep the present moment-

Um...eventually, only matters of time...

...and confusion, in unison bow

You can't have much to do...if little know how it is. (and) how it's going to be

Because we don't agree to disagree, the differences are similarities

Chorus:

Creative, this is life no more fabrication

Different, honest artists' goals and aspirations

Creative, Crafting truth with bold imaginations

Different, With hopes to heal, a vocal vaccination

D.o.drent:

Rap is a joke, hip hop is dead

When character loses colour...it tears from the red

Finger paint towns, streak down main streets

Expose; naked truths, for the same shades as concrete

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired

Seeking motivation but feeling uninspired

It’s an acquired taste/test, digest, swallow your pride

Change your outlook, slow dance on the inside

Perceptions perceived continuously

Together/apart within fearful symmetry

We suppress to succeed, but fail to understand

If he’s...worth mentioning...it’s the money in his hand

So if my value is determined by blessed burdens or

The things he carried, than I’d rather be a sin to hold onto than sin set free

YES!!! we promise the world, but there’s no guarantee

Don’t say "I’m the future", when passed down

The ladder, as a tense rung out, less strung out Joe Brown

Without tattoos, trademarks or slogans

It’s “Party, OH-WHATEVER”, or shameless self promotion

If you wanna take a chance, you gotta take risks

In streams of consciousness, ignorance is bliss

If you wanna hold your weight, you gotta take turns

We agree to disagree on agreeable terms [x2]

Chorus:

Creative, this is life no more fabrication

Different, honest artists' goals and aspirations

Creative, Crafting truth with bold imaginations

AllOne:

I get it, "Woah the lyricism is intense, imposing"

And I'm dense, verbose. This isn't about pretentious poems

This is my obsessive chosen experimental approach

And an extensive set of goals with attempts to goad

Our sentimental mental zones

I'm convinced without inventive motives to test and mold

The foundation that we set in stone

We'll never round up the corner stones

And gear up to lay the tracks to play a locomotive role

In the esteemed engine running "Aberrantly"on pressured "Coal"

Yeah its great to ceremoniously set the tone but then you boast?

Lets not rest our notes as a whole!

Lets melodiously address the symposium

With a progressive phono-aesthetic ode!

For me, it's a terribly stressful prescient moment

Pondering the plethora of things I'll never get to know

Honestly, it isn't impressive to be an intellectual

Just get a book, digest the tome's text to stretch your skull!

It's not the facts that test the soul, but the facets of your ethics code

And if you adhere to the quest invoked

When you hear the messages spoken

Sharing answers reaped from questions sown

We're all different obviously

But with creativity used properly

We can mend the globe

Living prosperously mapping life's geography

To assist one another along symbolically...

I mean, that's what defines a "legend" no?

Chorus:

Creative, this is life no more fabrication

Different, honest artists' goals and aspirations

Creative, Crafting truth with bold imaginations
