[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] In the last episode, you heard the dopest lyrics, though/ I can't confirm the source, but I can confirm the flows I wrote/ as I adventured through the first chapter, but mind ya/ I penned this synopsis to keep you behind the Tale--of how we battled, traveled, and the truth unraveled/ Droppin' fake MCs, and radio stations--they tasted gravel/ Nothing too crazy but a microphone-blade teamed With a custom-gun arm mic-wieldin' MC/ Starting with me, I must've hit my head upon a tree Wakin' up from a dream of me slayin' slimes on a beach/ While truth of what took place being far from my reach/ I got lost and well, me and ran first met in Breakbeat/ We--aided the village of Traxx then went to Treeble/ Shut down the station there, of course it was crawling with evil/ Hopped over the pits of quicksand but we needed a plan we felt/ So we searched the city of breaks and it's realm for help/ We were turned down by the local hip-hop sounds/ We found top rock the place where B-Boy's held it down/ Kharisma joined the team, we sort of cleared breaks' station/ I know that sounds a bit confusin' but I'm not exaggeratin' Next we hit Crescendos, I can't pretend yo/ Met a queen sweet like childhood memories of Nintendo/ Truth and honesty, I was a SEGA kid personally/ But, back on track--I had to continue from the party separately/ After the city was attacked by a dragon/ Crafted in the shadows by a puppeteer, I imagine/ I landed in Gajo island where I left Snowberry, Heartbroken, of course, and disappointed--yo--very/ Got nagged, something bad, by this merchant that was masked/ Turned out he was trying to help me--oh well--my bad/ Cleared the Allegory for the village of Cypher And now continues my quest but here's your reminder/

Recollection 03:40
[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1- Things were different than whatever I remembered/ Pushing away the Summer to begin my last September/ A character with a temper, but a heart of 'never-nevers/' Didn’t think I’d ever fall in love, not unless the/ Horizons would turn to violet, screams to silence/ And every soldier’s weapon would regret dealin’ violence/ And the Earth would be quiet, anxiety? lifeless/ New system, paradise with-out global crisis/ I talk of no fantasy, no not a fable/ An adult with imagination, maybe not as stable/ As you would think or make-up But, no I’m not made up—/ Easier to deny my lines than just to break dust/ I used to drown in my fantasies, instead of my sorrows/ Daydream of battling monsters with weapons I borrowed/ From my favorite heroes, as long as tomorrow/ I can go on and on, let me tell you man, follow My past are pictures, in the walls of my perspective/ Gallery of my mind, now painted with my intentions/ I built a pair a wings to fly with my semantics/ Developing a way to bring a fix to the damaged/ See, there was this person, who saw the sky cursin’/ He thought it was the land that needed him to purge it/ And from the looking glass, he witnessed with his eyes/ The day took it’s demise to the darkness in the skies/ Then, he began a quest like time on a mission/ To return (h)our minutes in the seconds of his instance/ Never tangled with a mistress, or saved a princess/ His purpose was only to save the planet in it’s distress/ He wasn’t negative but neither was he perfect/ He held scars despite his fight against the worthless/ But, he disappeared before restoring balance/ No one could even take his place in his absence/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 2- I was the man of that legend, just in case I never mentioned/ Eyes without wisdom, I saw more than this dimension/ So, I pocketed a vision too great for human perception/ I hold a new direction, Hip Hop is my incentive/ For the voiceless, I created an anthem/ To kidnapped sadness, and hold depression for ransom/ I choose my weapons like any king chooses land/ Music, my beats, my pad, paper, and a pen/ With a voice so smooth like the tips of a singer’s lips/ In intricate ways, flames sketch off my finger tips/ But, all this time, I thought I had saved lives/ Instead, to save rhymes with beats that I would grind/ Dropped from a world that was created in my mind/ To awaken to a time mixed with evil beats and rhymes/ So, that’s my story ,and here’s my task/ I’m on a quest to keep the darkness in Hip Hop’s past/

[Mega Ran] -Verse 1- As night falls over the town/ Kharisma and I begin to head home with our heads down/ Feelin' like we let our homeboy down/ 'Til we hear a strange sound from the bushes that surround/ I look closer then see 2 white lights/ Then, I reach to my side and grabbed my mic tight/ Those white lights turn kinda blue/ And then I know exactly what we'd done got into/ White wolves, the nocturnal predators/ Tryin' to take us out the game like some editors/ My first thought is to hightail/ but I'm not very fast so I know that I'd fail/ The ground just shakes some trees/ Knocked loose some leaves, this ain't gonna be easy/ Proper strategy and quickness will be needed/ One mistake made?--We will be defeated/ I drop my mic and cast a protection potion/ These night-stalkers can detect emotion/ And their jaws can chew through armor/ One weakness, our option is to charmer/ Kharisma got the remedy/ Closes both eyes and focuses sharply on the enemy/ The eyes turn pinkish, emotions slow/ Then I finish the job with an explosive blow/ Elimination of the threat/ Snatches victory from the jaws of certain death/ We walked off, still perplexed/ And the only question left was "Now, what's next?"/ [Kharisma] -Verse 2- As he wiped the blood off his blade/ I told Random we were lucky we managed to get away/ These white wolves are crazy, I've been hearing that lately/ The villagers were doubting we would make it out safely/ We're really feeling it now/ The effect of our party being 1-man down/ We need to find him quick because if this persists/ There's no way we can carry on our quest like this/ So, we moved on--on to the next town/ Prepared to smackdown anybody that wanted to find out/ What would happen if we delayed our search/ Not in the mood for anything to make our situation worse/ One slash to the right, two strikes to the left/ Flash in the moonlight, cold ice in my breath/ And whatever happens next could be anyone's guess/ We've been walking all night, I just really wanna rest/ (when) We came to the end of the woods/ Looking down on the cliff--from the edge we stood/ As the sun came shining directly at me/ We noticed a town at the center of a valley/ Maybe, this is where we'll find some clues/ Seems like the kind of place BeNeVoLeNcE passed through/ Walked into the village and the first thing we found/ Was a crowd of MCs in the center of the town going crazy/
5.
[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1- We used say to say 'the smart was never clever' and 'some was always never/' The world was so sweet without the hole in the center/ Polyphonies Rhyme Swords used to walk like cyborgs, Meanwhile in Berceusia there lived a lifeform/ That was blunt with sharp words, piercing, call it knife corpse/ Robe, rockin’ hoody over T’s and tight shorts/ In Polyphony, his story was nice lore/ He jumped from dream to dream, too bad he didn’t like sports/ Things weren’t always what they seemed with this fellow/ Although his speech was clean, he teeth turned to yellow/ Mostly, he was mellow but inside grew disgust/ He made a pact with evil and took the people’s trust/ Any purity left in his eyes would erupt/ His heart turned to ash as his smile turned dust/ His face shriveled up, soon his hands were corrupt/ Carrying a dream-giving dust within a cup/ [J-Mylez] -Hook- Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ I don't want to go to sleep/ Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ I don't wanna be here to see it/ Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ Because They ain't always what they seem/ Mr. Sandman, don't wanna be asleep/ That's why they call them dreams/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 2- In polyphony, they called him the “Hero of dreams/” Just a sprinkle of his dust would bring about “Z’s/” And most would believe that he served a great deed/ But, with this fellow, things weren’t always what they seemed/ Kept in Berceusia, in a place that was hidden/ Was the book of the dream, inside, death was written/ Wishful thinking opposed wisdom, and led to addiction/ Bringing about the end of the victim/ Sleep was the cousin of death/ He hustled dreams in the streets to ones filled with stress/ And addiction fed, until there was nothing left/ Of whoever used the dust, where their trust lied in rest/ Sometimes, it seems that good is evil/ That monsters can be people, and the strong are feeble/ Lies can make up human laws indeed/ But, in Polyphony, things aren’t always what they seem/ [J-Mylez] -Hook- Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ I don't want to go to sleep/ Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ I don't wanna be here to see it/ Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ Because they ain't always what they seem/ Mr. Sandman, don't wanna be asleep/ That's why they call them dreams/ [J-Mylez] -Breakdown- I don't wanna close my eyes one minute/ I wanna stay awake/ 'Cuz as soon as I turn my back on the Sandman/ I know my soul he'll take/ You can say what you wanna, do what you wanna/ I'm never gonna close my eyes/ 'Cuz I'ma live how I wanna, do what I wanna/ And I'ma keep my head to the sky/ [J-Mylez] -Hook- Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ I don't want to go to sleep/ Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ I don't wanna be here to see it/ Mr. Sandman, don't bring me a dream/ Because they ain't always what they seem/ Mr. Sandman, don't wanna be asleep/ That's why they call them dreams/

[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1- Somewhere in this world, according to some of the locals/ There exists this clan, similar to a cult so/ Hidden from the public eye, honestly, I don't know/ Much....They say it's a 'tall tale' or so-so/ I heard around the way from some old folks/ Like, "Yo-yo--/ Come around here young ones, listen to some old folktale/ Watch your step where shadows hang solo/ Beware, rich neighborhoods are places where you don't go/ At night, no joke--Or you'll be sorry/ Streets filled with graffiti members, wild like safari's/ Get caught in the wrong spot, get robbed by a party/ Of about 4 or 5 in a moment's breath, probably/" As soon as they strike, they're gone out of sight but oddly/ These thieves each leave their mark on victim properties/ Spray-paint bandits make you panic 'til it's hard to breathe/ They say that to this day their hiding place has not been seen/ (That's right) [Last BeNeVoLeNcE & Impermanence] -Hook- That's right--that's-that's-that's right!/ They call 'em Spray-Paint Bandits!/ [Impermanence] -Verse 2- We're not born of the evil or swept hate/ To save face, we wear colored masks to escape/ The harsh reality of living straight/ Working full days to barely sustain that full plate?/ (nah) You see we go about our business/ Our interest--to add digits to those that isn't/ Natural to--we specialize in taggin'/ Bare-knuckle dragon with the speakin' habit/ (Ah yeah) A talent that is critically acclaimed/ Lower property value but bring about grace/ We rob the rich blind, giving back to the kids/ Not just where we live either but we're sendin' packages/ You've probably seen a few all up in your village/ When your parents came home with a little somethin' different/ Is it so bad to spread the joy?/ Red-flaming traces givin' back to every girl and boy/ (That's right!) [Last BeNeVoLeNcE & Impermanence] -Hook- That's right--that's-that's-that's right!/ They call 'em Spray-Paint Bandits!/
7.
[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1- Listen up! I'm passin' out some info that's regardin'/ A microphone rap battle tournament that's startin'/ Right here in Berceusia, it's gonna be soon, bruh/ Really? When that's happenin'? Today around 2, ya/ Better hurry up quick to enter in the tournament / Shoot, that sounds sick, man! I better tell impermanence/ Yo, did you hear about that competition?/ Their havin' it back in the Champions district/ I think I'm gonna enter in, maybe just maybe/ 'Cuz an MC ' wages suck, especially lately/ Even though I bust flows steady and I make beats/ More than po-pos beat minorities daily/ Never robbed a bank--no, I never sold Mary-/ Jane and I'm happy that I didn't man, very/ But, I'll tell you this...the life of an MC/ Is fun, but an income is not guaranteed / [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Hook- I hope this will help me gain some more fans/ (X3) Man! I hope this will help me gain fans/ [Impermanence] -Verse 2- It was 11:45, I was hanging with my clansmen/ Ringin' on my phone--You got Impermanence tapped in/ What's happenin' captain, you got that hook up on some action?/ This is scrap then--let's promote this like madmen!/ Back then we had arenas blazed with a passion/ Tickin' tags on toes like ball games in the past tense/ Brass is shiny but microphones pays the man's rent/ Champions District, better known for the rhyme checks/ The bomb sets--verbal contact and the pretext/ Is subtle--is the disses brought about by jaw-yappin'/ Room for improvement? I better get to bookin'/ I'm sitting cross town while I'm paintin', morals crooked/ That's what happens when you're hanging from the rafters/ Evading capture, Hip Hop painted like a rapture/ Step into the shop right--Pickin' up a skill and plan/ Painted speechless with chow soon, but man/ [Impermanence] -Hook- I hope this will help me gain some more fans/ (X3) Man! I hope this will help me gain fans/

[J-Mylez] -Hook 1- Bringin' it back--bringin' it back--bringin' back X2 [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1- Bring it back for the heartbroken/ Bring it back for the softspoken/ Bring it back for the idiots who say that this Hip Hop-- isn't art and those who need focus/ Comin' -- Straight from a place in the south of the city/ Where we need more love and less of the world's pity/ It's B-to the E to the N to the E, V- O to the L, E, N to the C, E The Leader of the party shuttin' down the industry-- and bringin' back Light to polyphony/ No pipe dreams--positivity is the key / We Open up the door to originality, flee/ if you oppose our progressive mentality In fact, resist--you might have to battle me/ (But) We don't kill, no we don't bring casualties/ Though, enemies drop like bad drinkin' habits, see?/ The heroes of Hip Hop have arrived/ With depth in our pages and power in our rhymes/ So, stand back this is rhythm untapped/ Like the golden age of Hip hop we're bringin' back/ Yo, we're bringing it back, yo--we're bringin' it back/ Like the golden age of Hip Hop, we're bringin' it back/ X2 [J-Mylez] -Chorus- Just relax your mind, (put your) Thoughts (stress) aside/ Come on and ride this melodic vibe/ (With) Electric rhymes you just can't deny/ (Let us) Bring it back to those lovely times/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 2- This is-- One of them tracks where you just lay back/ With a snack on your lap-- head bob to the boom bap/ Whether or not that the darkness attacks/ Yo, this is a fact--the Heroes got your back/ Maybe make your sky turn to blue from black/ Turn them speakers up, and your tears to a laugh/ Feel fresh like bath, nothin' left in your path/ Take you away like saturday--no question asked/ --This is true verbal mastery--/ Makin' sounds that overstep catastrophies/ No matter the circumstance or how bad it be/ You can chill out with me while I cast the beat/ Enter in your soundwaves with a microphone blade/ Changin' how you view Hip Hop in profound ways/ Rhythm untapped--so yo--bro, behave Hip Hop--we're bringin' back like the golden age/ Uh-huh--bringin' it back, yo we're bringin' it back/ Uh-huh--bringin' it back, yo we're bringin' it back/ Uh-huh--bringin' it back, yo we're bringin' it back/ yo we're bringin' it back, yo we're bringin' it back/ take it back for the heartbroken/ take it back for the soft-spoken/ take it back for them idiots who say that this Hip Hop-- isn't art and those who need focus/ [J-Mylez] -Chorus- Just relax your mind, (put your) Thoughts (stress) aside/ Come on and ride this melodic vibe/ (With) Electric rhymes you just can't deny/ (Let us) Bring it back to those lovely times/ Just relax your mind, (put your) Thoughts (stress) aside/ Come on and ride this melodic vibe/ (With) Electric rhymes you just can't deny/ (Let us) Bring it back to those lovely times/

[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse1- You know, Judging by the looks of the sky/ It does really seem like it's gonna rain tonight/ I wonder where we'll stay? I'm fresh outta ideas, dry-- (Kharisma:) "Man, I can't contain my hunger no matter how I try/ Hey, excuse me Mr...."Hi"/ Can you help us? "Yeah, what are you tryin' to find?/ We just wanna stop at an inn that's nearby/ I'm pretty sure tonight we won't be seeing a clear sky/ Do you know of a place that we can lodge?/ "Give me a second so that I can clear my thoughts..I hope you don't get lost/ I know this place, not too far but you better watch/ There's this 'Big Boss' and I hear if you get caught/ He will sell you with the influence he's got/" No sweat, I got a way with weakspots/ "But, he has an army!" Listen, when the beat drops/ My team got it handled, I'll tell you how we rock/ We have a party of 5 if you follow me/ Cleaning up wack raps and lyrical monstrosities/ "Like, dungeon-crawling evil radio stations?"/ Yeah, it's our job to take 'em, at each place we face them/ Level up-level up--Much concentration/ No meditation--anyway, anyway--umm/ About the party, who we got included hear yo-- Mega Ran, of course you know the story of the Random Hero/ Impermanence and According to Legends/ Their both from the East, Graffiti art is their expression/ We got Kharisma like 'Khris' and 'Ledesma'/ You Must 'ard if you didn't--you better ketchup/ You know me so no need for me to repeat/ My name or class or any enemy I had to defeat/ But, if you have any questions for more information/ Here's my resume son, read under "occupation/" [Kharisma] -Verse 2- I told BeNeVoLeNcE I got a strange vibe from the guy we met/ It was subtle yet/ I could hear it in the way that he pretended to have/ the good intentions to match/ But, that demeanor that he wore as a mask?/ He's leading us to a trap!/ But, I doubt it's worth sweating and all/ I mean, when's the last time that we happened to fall/ for this kind of trick?/ And not make it out?/ I don't think there is a need for an alternative route/ Because my eyes are feeling heavy and I can't walk steady/ So, we should clear 'em out while we are awake and ready/ The sky is getting pretty grey so I think it's safe to say/ That if we want to avoid the rain we should find a place to stay/ And just to prove it--I'll run ahead and knock 'em down/ So, then I ran up the track until I found/ A dilapidated inn on the side of the road/ Hands on my sword's hilt feelin' ready to go!/ I'll kill 'em all! I've seen this situation before/ Typical thieves simply lookin' for a gullible score/ It's hard to ignore and such a damn obvious trap/ So, I'll beat 'em to the punch before they get to attack/ So, I reach for the doorknob and twisted it 'til/ The door opened and then I couldn't help but suddenly feel/ A malice so strong that it struck me to the core/ I regret opening that door 'cuz what I saw was..../ [Mega Ran] -Verse 3- ....A woman, with long flowing hair redder than flame/ Looked familiar but I seemed to be forgettin' her name/ She told us not to be afraid but that's easier said than done/ So, I asked her who she was--she said "Thank goodness you have come!/ The citizens of the town have all been brainwashed/ imbued with strange thoughts by the hands of the same boss!"/ We were skeptical but truthfully she ain't lied/ We all agreed the earlier man gave us strange vibes/ I was blessed with the talent to scan/ Determining a person's motivation by the wave of a hand/ When she spoke I examined for radical changes/ In her voice clarity it gave us but everything she was sayin'?/ Made sense.....The fidgettin', the fumblin'/ Had a soft voice that'd been broken with despair but it was pretty comfortin'/ Eyes told the story of her hardships/ She had lost a little sister amidst all this/ Last seen in the direction of the forest/ She was in need--not to mention she was gorgeous/ I know we have a mission but yo I digress/ So, I guess now we got ourselves a side quest/

[Mega Ran & Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Hook- I'm battlin' myself Yo, man--You okay?/ I think I'm gonna need some help-- Hello, HEY!--/ I don't know what's wrong!-- Nah--Really--You awake?/ But yo, somethin's goin' on-- I hope we get this mess straight/ Earth to Ran He looks like me/ You hear me man? I think he wants to fight me/ You need a hand? Uhh...Yeah, I understand/ We need a plan-- Uh-huh, we need a plan!/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] Wait a minute--that didn't happen exactly as planned/ We were just helpin' this lady out a second ago and/ Random--AKA Mega Ran--/ Changed to an extra dark lookin' fellow in a battle stance/ Talk about a plot twistin'--this is so twisted/ Miss, this isn't part of the plan now, is it?/ IS IT? I demand an answer in this instance/ Please tell me why the heck Mega Ran is trippin'/ Eyes drenched in red, hand on the mic with friction/ Swingin' flows my way like "Watch what you're hittin'!"/ Give me a sec to check the mic 'cuz I reckon in my sight/ This isn't real but like some bad dream that came in the night,/ Seems like real life--Oh crap, it's real, right?--Man, this ain't quite/ What I expected--from being nice and sweet, man/ I wish that I was dreamin'- [Mega Ran] -Verse 2- -Man, I can't believe this!/ Face to face with the only man who can stop me/ Looks like a mirror except that it's not me/ Maybe so but under some kind of spell/ Now I get to tell you all the things that all the people are scared to tell/ Like-- You are the kid who never grew up/ Over-romanticized the 80's and then blew up/ Your punchlines are mediocre, your date of demise is even closer/ That's why you shook whenever we approached ya/ And when I'm done with you--none of your records will sell/ I played a lot of games, too, at like 11 or 12/ You're a 30 year-old rap beginner with a whack agenda/ Playing with action figures after dinner/ You're a GEEK--No room in this jungle for the meek/ Let the real MCs kill this and go home and take a seat/ In your computer chair--step up if you're feelin' threatin'/ I'll leave 'em guessin' while you're home levelin' up on League of Legends/ [Mega Ran & Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Hook- I'm battlin' myself Yo, man--You okay?/ I think I'm gonna need some help-- Hello, HEY!--/ I don't know what's wrong!-- Nah--Really--You awake?/ But yo, somethin's goin' on-- I hope we get this mess straight/ Earth to Ran He looks like me/ You hear me man? I think he wants to fight me/ You need a hand? Uhh...Yeah, I understand/ We need a plan-- Uh-huh, we need a plan!/ X2 [Mega Ran] -Verse 3- My place in this game isn't even question/ This is a battle and not a healing session/ You feel the ground when my team in town/ And watch us beat 'em down/ So bad Mega Ran's gonna need a Phoenix down/ And now I'm back up on my feet/ Trying to get a feel for what is happening to me/ He looks like me so I don't want to have to fight/ But, it might be the only way to save my life/ So, I look into his eyes--hopin' to jog his memory/ Gettin' no response--take it he don't remember me/ I've seen this in the movies maybe a hundred times/ All I have to do is find somethin' in his mind/ That'll bring him to a time or place from the past/ Whatever it is, we gotta do somethin' fast/ Just then he grabs on an object/ I run to the tree and I stand behind it/ He flings it at me like it's nothing/ Once it breaks, something falls like a pendant/ It glows in the night--I might need this to end it/ I pick it up and hold it to the moon/ Evil me just stops and attempts to leave the room/ Then eyes goes from red to brown, he calms down/ I think it's all safe again....for now....for now/

[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Intro Verse- It was the strangest thing that I had dreamed/ Travelin' on another journey, in another scene/ With a different kinda of people, a different kind of team/ And a different kinda evil, with different kind of schemes/ But, now I'm face to face with another villain/ Sounds like the usual, Right? Nah, it's different/ Somethin' I expected? Nah, I really didn't/ Didn't know the Black Mic was my spittin' image/ Hello, hello, my name is BeNeVoLeNcE/ I'm always attached to the worlds way of etiquette/ [Mega Ran] Remember it, peace and love we always represent/ But, when it's time to battle we're never hesitant/ But, yo--he looks just like you, he acts just like you/ He walks just like you and raps just like you/ Coincidence? Maybe. But, this is kinda crazy/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] You're right, man. Crazy to hear him say these/ Lines similar to somethin I was writin'/ I'm not surprised, The Industry is always bitin'/ Listen up guys, we'll end all the violence/ Me and Mega Ran will put the Black Mic to silence/ So, stand back, Ran and I can handle it/ Please boy! Mr. Gimmick come handle this/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1- Ha ha ha ha ha, check out my garage/ Be fake--Wh-wh-why not? We make money with facades/ With bass that make the old people say to cut the racket/ Makin millions with dumb themes and titles that are ratchet/ 1, 2, 3, different ways that I can bring/ Things that will rip clean through ya team/ Taste a whole hour of blood curdling screams/ Like: Ah! Ow! Eee! PLEASE--STOP hurting ME/ I'm Allergic to these broke MCs--Watch me sneeze/ The whole mainstream is drowning up the elements in dreams/ Geez, why you boys even try? It's beyond me--FREEZE!/ You're under arrest for this quest, you should plead/ The 5th, 'Cuz silence for you is a gift/ I need a stab in the rib for every word that drips from your lips/ My flow break limbs, they call me hip/ Oil up them pockets make you slip/ Nothin' like this, check out at the bling on my wrist That you wish you was rockin'/ make you kiss the sky like team rocket/ 2 small dead rappers? Oh my gosh, kids!!!/ Guess we'll have to call 'em "2-Pac-ket" (pocket)/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 2- I think I need a compass , you lost me/ Like raps that are off beat. Wack like some soggy--/ Breakfast. Your next lesson, get off me/ No Need to be saucy. Rare is my style--my heart is raw beef/ Your sound quality is lossy. Gold-plated teeth--the inside is all cheap/ To see all these flows you brought me/ I must use the lens of your intelligence, but it's foggy/ Oops! I think I need pause beat/ I stepped on you by mistake--why didn't you let out a raw squeak?/ I know that you're small chief, but nah I ain't sorry/ "BeNeVoLeNcE" is what you call me/ I flow nice like a weekend off/ Sketching dreams on beats with a stick of chalk/ I own a business right here, these beats call me boss/ You say something? I didn't know that rats could talk/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 4- Mega Ran? What are you--a video game?/ I'm a boss! You'll need to level up and train/ Even if you gained millions of XP/ 100 lives won't save you from standin' next to me!/ You're mind is blown. I own all the city, yo/ I flow like a video--film me now, here we go/ Lights, camera, action/ Instead I've come to blightin' the minds of all with the words I'm rappin'/ BeNeVoLeNcE, I'm deep like the bonds of gravity/ Floss with intelligence, my words clean cavities/ Not a face of flattery--fool, you run on batteries/ I'm focused, you lose direction to a passive breeze/ I make money, you make tragedy/ What a joke! Who sent me the comic relief?/ Squeaky clean--imagine me, breaking things like havoc speeds/ Casually through avenues of your maladies/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE & Mega Ran] -Outro Verse- I think we're having trouble, but Ran I have plan/ Oh, yeah? So, what's your plan?/ Check it out, check it out, man--/ We can take 'em out if we combine flows/ 'Ey yo--That would be dope/ Punchline-combined blows!/ Military strategy! Okay, so what's the tactic/ I run the interference I get 'em while he's distracted/ He's coming straight at you! Dodge him with a back-flip/ Shed light on the scene! Blast like a Final Flash hits!/
14.
[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1- I felt lonely like it was part of my being/ I used to take myself alone for sight seeing/ But, for some reason I never write of my dreams and/ Copy-right jaded impressions and quiet feelings/ Every love I'd save would vanish before the evening/ I heart dropped like rain off of the Earth's ceiling/ Ruler of my past, king loneliness the reason/ My heart would grow cold but instead commit treason/ So, I have somethin' I want to say to you--Umm../ I'm under the impression that you're not what it was/ I'd like an explanation but maybe not, huh?/ Instead, let's talk about you and I love/ You're my lady, my theme and my daisy/ When you leave my day weeps, your heart speaks what aids me/ From the rise of the sun 'til it fades you stay deep/ In my mind like the stars forever stay. Sweet-/ -Love, let's tap dance over sadness/ And paint a canvas of beauty over any address/ Capture our dreams in action as they happen/ Travel a world of only what we can imagine/ Let's build castles together without bricks/ And trade our love to each other without gifts/ Not that presents are wrong but we don't need them to kiss/ I'm saying, let's save the game--make a memory of this/ in the menu.... [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] Hook Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Yo--Here's the menu X2 [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 2- This is a letter to the one I haven't met yet/ Pretty eyes could make a tear drop from a sunset/ Voice like medicine for my heart when it's upset/ Appearance more beautiful than a child's first breath/ Sometimes, I notice my impatience--how about you?/ I feel like I've been waiting 4Ever X 2/ But soon we'll be wiped of all the transgression/ And the world will perfect again--Love, that is when/ We're free of the bond of sins/ Let's spend time without ever clockin' in/ Dance on a battlefield without bombs droppin' in/ Talk again with truth and stop our dimmed vision/ Listen, I talk of when/ Our dead loved ones awaken to walk again/ And finally we live in a world of promises/ And if you remember, I promise this/ Like the Earth will be handed to the meek/ Set free from the wicked and inhabited with peace/ I will be right next to your sleeve and never ever leave/ In a world where pain isn't reality/ Every race lives perfectly in unity/ This is a promise to both you and me/ So please, save this in your memories/ Save--before it is time to break free/ Here's the menu-- [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] Hook Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Save and Continue, Yo--Here's the menu X2

[Mega Ran] -Verse 1- The black mic was defeated in a close call/ I told em that when duty calls, my team won't fall,/ We The bravest the most courageous/ Now The battle is won but the war still wages/ Everyday is a fight Everyday of my life,/ Tired of going left, One day I pray I get right,/ Money is always tight My friends are always leaving/ Trying to beat the odds, but I just wanna break even/ So when I met my crew, it was such a relief/ The ending of all the heartbreak disappointment and grief,/ Finally had some homies I'd scrap and I'd die for/, Someone to look out for, and to provide for/ So when the battle ensued I would supply more/ And set a off fireworks like it was July 4/ Haven't mastered the elements, yet/ But it's almost as if they recognized the nature of every single threat/ 'Cause they banded together for the final fight/ It was unlike anything I'd seen in my life, yet/ Quite a spectacle, I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't peeped it/ The universe exposing all of its deepest secrets/ ...and to me of all people/ That's when I realized we're not created equal,/ Many are called yo, and few are chosen,/ And these are the stories of those men,/ Who make a way when all walls have closed in/ Who see the evils in the dark and expose them/ Yeah. And Who knows what the future holds,/ When you put effort into the things that you control/ Kinda surprising truth be told,/ You can get stopped just short like the Hawks in the super bowl/ Yeah.. Thats why I maintain humility / Keep control of my faculties up in any facility/ And now there's one more task,/ A final battle so we can find peace at last/ So many chapters, and now we're at the end of them/ Preparing for the fight of the millennium/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 2- But, looking back, things were just so strange/ After we won, in my heart I felt pain/ 'Cuz you see, I used to be the Black Mic/ Or a part of his heart, when I thought I saved lives/ All I did was say lies/ My old quest to "save the world" was a false vision in mind's eyes/ Then, I figured, I needed a new direction/ I made an escaped, "exodus" from my perceptions/ That's when I had awakened in Polyphony/ But even, when I see the Black Mic, I know it isn't me/ I don't spit rhymes about crooked politicians/ I never smoked, never took the life of someone livin'/ The only girl I ever really had was Snowberry/ I never played with a single heart, so every/ Thing the Black Mic represented, I resented His morals I had rejected, his dark heart, I had left it/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Hook- I can be my own artist my own person,/ I don't need to follow, I don't need to be cursin'/ People will still hear my voice and my words when/ I speak my expressions, I hope you heard this/ I can be my own artist my own person,/ I don't need to follow, I don't need to be cursin'/ People will still hear my voice and my words when/ I speak my expressions, please observe this/

Windows down Speakers up/ 2 shots he's heatin' up/ People that I called my family didn't believe in us/ It's all good--keep it up, you ain't gotta keep in touch/ They gettin' devious, labels getting greedier/ Most of the moves I make don't show up on social media/ Change is vital we just fighting for survival / If your idols ain't my rivals then you living in denial/ I was hardcore, labels try to put u on all fours,/ I got my biggest break in a scrimmage like Paul George/ My bars raw--Parkour on cardboard/ I'm Tiger Woods, pre-voicemail on par 4/ We don't apologize, I lyrically lobotomize/ Sleepin' on me is like water rides, not advised/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Hook- Take it from the old--where the MCs flow/ DJ's mix the shows, B-boys in pose/ At every corner of the planet, every rep presented/ Callin' all Elements this is the Census/ HIP HOP--HIP HOP!!!

[Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 1- There are many ways I could pen this, the end is/ A little bit foggy and blended, I send this/ About 3 weeks after the darkness ended/ Sweet little memories following the census/ I heard about the fall of the dream savvy one/ With sand, he kept the clans in pockets, fatty ones/ Dropped to an assassin Rockin graffiti/ All his money than vanished, it was brought to the needy/ A month before our journey was over/ We ran into this chick who had our progress slowed up/ She tried to take over Random's mind,/ but in minutes he gained victory with his rhymes/ A week after, we ran into a dark master/ The black mic, so we put an end to that chapter/ Then, came the census of all the elements/ What happened next, I can't seem to remember it/ [Kharisma] -Verse 2- Yo, as our quest seem to come to a close/ It gets harder to remember what we need to know/ (So much confusion) The only thing we knew to be clear/ Is that when we woke up, the enemy disappeared/ Now, did we win? Did we succeed?/ Did we accomplish what we wanted to achieve?/ It's so hard to tell/ But, I can no longer sense them within this realm/ And so we left--I could see it in the rest of the crew/ Everything that I was feeling, they were feelin' it, too/ Went separate ways and a couple months passed/ And I made my way East--back home to my clan/ I was greeted by a feast and a giant celebration/ They said that they've been waiting for my coronation/ But, I'm not a leader and I wish they would believe me/ But, they seem to be convinced that they well and truly need me/ [Last BeNeVoLeNcE] -Verse 3- But with my Microphones equipped, I went missin'/ Is the last memory I have since the last mission/ Took 2 or 3 paths to grasp a vision/ Of me and my lady, livin' in peaceful conditions/ But, every week I received letters from my love/ Told me that she missed me, and my warm hugs/ Went out of hiding to finally be with her/ After these men in black cloaks kept me alert/ Following my every move at every turn/ I Acted as if I didn't notice it at first/ Can't describe how these dudes got served/ By this smooth MC with flow sicker than germs/ I used a single rhyme to blow mental facilities/ I didn't know even had such abilities/ It didn't matter, my journey was completed/ I'm now with Snowberry, my ending is the sweetest/ [Impermanence] -Verse 4- It's a long journey....Many foes we passed/ On to new saves and enjoying the cast/ But, alas--Most of my memories are dashed/ Like a dropped from a existence and awoke in the second half/ I heard tales of these men on a mission/ Spittin' into visions, knockin' down with the writtens/ But, me? I bring heat to competition/ Borderline gifted the party with vision/ Cans in hand I drop in like Shinobi/ Kickin' sand from my boots, wallet lookin' lowly/ Entered the party--soon after--into a tourney/ Knocked out by Mega--Man I wasn't worthy/ After all of that, I remember some crossroads/ Sittin' in a field watchin' sunflowers grow/ And after the Black Mic ceased kickin'/ A census of men and then we all went missin'/ [Mega Ran] -Verse 5- I recall it a little differently, Thankful for all that my fam give to me, Start it at the census, where we all came together just to end this, That's when it got interesting, The best thing is I remember a few battles, And a castle, where a damsel lay in shackles, I fought my way down to save her And there I became known as a mighty dragon slayer, We were separated for a while, I received more training, diversified my styles Traveled thousands of miles, for the call of the wild, Seen ups and downs found it hard to smile So I quit the guild turned in my shield, Decided instead of destroying that I would need to build An academy for young Adventurers That I would lead Plant knowledge in the fertile ground for the young seeds 3 years, 6 months and 4 weeks, I live, I love and now I teach And anyone that ever asked I would tell 'em it, The true story of the tale of the elements
