On The IV Edition

We just gettin started

Count it off like this

One two three IV

Intelligent rhymes with original styles

We got Mr. J., Braille, and Manchild here

If you wanna know the real deal then here we go


[Mr. J. Medeiros]

On an account of the cost

Being thee amount of the cross

Being me don’t amount to the loss

You see me, know my fountain of flaws

To free me off a mountain I toss

Into the deep sea breathin out thee exhaust

Inhaling the frost of cold summers

The cost of sailing, I’m lost with no compass

The cause and effect witch I pause to reflect

For a moment, taught to respect the atonement

I own it, and walk these steps as a grown man

Where talk is a weapon that holds man

I fought with this lesson with no hands

Trying to know my Savior it’s a Risk

When your wrists are dying to hold Asia

It’s a mind over nations of millions

The face of our children

The chase for the safety in buildings

That make it so yielding is never an option

The willing to weather whatever it costs them


[Manchild]

Put it on the line like rhymes that we write

With a pad and pen before we spit it on the mike

Add it up for ?? and got the information put in to the book

A snooker to the lie for every ?? hook line and sinking in

Kids check it out and turn the pages until they think again

?? read it in between the hash marks convert it into cliff notes

Accelerate the fast starts

?? the plan B before you move past freedom ?? even start to understand me

Telling me when you may freeze

Before you weave that reasoning into the fabric of the grand scheme

?? overcomposition at large points to the Heavens identify who's in charge

Bar none hard rocks

Ladies with ??

??

Call it what you want from big dreams to far flung

It don't stop till the wars won

Hey DJ Idol can I get an introduction

Comon man let's do this

I want to rock right now


[Braille]

Do the mathematics, algebra and calculus

I counted the cost, accounted for the counterfeit

When I encountered it, stood my ground and the coward quit

Cause he's powerless, so many challenges exist

Calculate the catalyst, cause and effect

From catastrophic events, we gotta catapult past it

Cast away doubt, it returns sevenfold, tell them "get out"

This is my temple, my house, take control of your body

Reject the venom, yo their bugging out, better grab the insect repellent

My rebellion, rocking the bells from Belgium

To Bella Bella to Boston and back to Bellingham

The mailman playing my role, no more John Stockton

I'm Karl Malone, slamming it home on microphones

I'm in the zone, lyrics and poems

Flow through my chromosomes and penetrate domes

I wanna rock right now, come on

It's been a long road driven by purpose

And I know it's worth it

I wanna rock right now, come on

I added it up and I counted the cost

I understand the risk, I'm gonna carry my cross

Do it like this

Before you make your move calculate the risk
