Energy Shift 01:51
It's a energy shift I feel the change man, kinda strange damn/ Thought I was a changed man, insane or sane man they all the same damn, your intellect equivalent to a cave man/ You a paid man still living like a slave damn/ I'm underage with the kind of shit I put up on the page man society up in a rage fam/ I've claimed divine shine, but I still wait like I'm, in a lunch line/ Gave you enough time to buss rhymes now it's crunch time/ You punch clocks I punch guys with punchlines/ Take the cap up off my pen n' fuck minds, I'm non-stop, like fuck time/ Having pivotal dreams/ Fuck with the team that's a critical scene, no in-between's my inner me's the only enemy/
3.
N I'm still nervous on cameras/ Rappers still amateurs, know they can't handle us there's no sense in scammin us subliminally try n blam at us/ know that we'll damage ya threats I won't answer ya/ Dance with me on the beat I won't, take a chance with ya/ Lyrical Chancellors we'll cancel ya plans of overthrowing the top rank/ Flow is gwala, uh, dollars in the bank/ Witness, lyrical onslaughter/ Flow clean n clear expand like water, bars condensed like ice/ Christ this nigga nice sacrifice a rapper's life for a mic, u not my type/ these bitches won't mash my head up tryna mash my bread up they cant, Match my bread up, they can't, match my effort they gon just add my debt up it sound like a setup/ Plus I got a queen n I swear I wont let up/ Writing is a passion nowadays more like a vendetta, niggas got me effed up/ Bro I'm fed up/ Pace of life sped up, I hope you read up document greatness like Martin n Coretta/ Lyrical Predator I'm ahead of ya/ But we all on the same level Bruh/ Time to level up, uh/

Papppa, uh/ Make a nigga pop off, yo/ Yo, my verse is a divine synopsis, Shock the populous whatever you do I'm doing the opposite/ That's how I'm rocin shit ain't no stoppin the kid so why u jottin them fibs/ To the top of my class in my craft I slid/ But it's hard for the prophet to profit I think prosperous/ Rich in spirit we forever prospering, stopped praying for opulence, conquer when faced with obstinance I just left the greatest continent The motherland forever honoring, in a lil bit/ I'ma pop off like a lid blocks get locked off quick/ When I spit that hot shit shout out to Apex, but we holding it down like da stoop kid, don't play around kid it can get stupid/ You in trouble when one of my producers start to loop shit/ Then i'm gone lose it n loose it, 2 spliffs 2 sick 2 lit, 2 legit 2 ever quit/ Nigga u foolish/ U shoulda knew this/ But You clueless, uh yo this is the movement/ (yo) We bumpin Ill Al Skratch/ Killa pack my folks is down to match I brought the power batch/ Mami brough her her throat it's down the hatch she brought the power back/ You sleepin on me but that ain't no power naps not here to clown you cats/ You get surrounded n drowned in these raps/ (Nigga) You get surrounded n drowned in these raps, Facts, Yo/

God Given 01:30
Luxurious living/ To God man the glory is given, I'm driven by living for the cause of giving/ The cause I'm given is pre-written, written medicine without prescription/ I guess I'm gifted, divine Healer/ Fall in line with the leader, I'll neva mislead ya I see no evil I free the people/ I will feed you what I need to/ Till you cross enemy lines I never see you, It's a../ Pleasure to meet you we measured as equals, don't, let em defeat you/ See the world through my peephole, I'm spitting free gold, My touch'll free souls neat flow, but I go on beast mode, check me on the East coast, yo/ We live by the beach bro, my feet/ Touch the Coral Reef eyes low higher than the steeple near the seashore/ Eyes closed but I see more weeds galore, like the bottom of the sea floor, Be more/ Hoping that we'll blow like a C-4/ Through the hard times I'm still standing, power in planning/ I'm swimming up stream like a salmon dammit, lamping in hammocks, ya feelings is damaged, what I'm seeing is average/ But this is classic/

Routine 03:08
[Chorus:]- Hating the routine, haters hate that I'm too clean, uh/ What u gon do, when we move on the scene/ (Repeat) [ Verse: ]- Gettin loose with da team sippin Goose not da lean, hella juice in my stream/ Hope the future's a dream makin moves for tha cream, not to boost my esteem/ Pity my insignificance/ Off the liquor little belligerent/ Neva been a simpleton, u a simple man figured you out, drew my complex diagram/' Spit fire through my diaphragm, we on/ Fire Fam, we on/ Fire, damn/ Only takin it higher man/ [Chorus:] [Verse:] [Chorus:] We did it again man... Me n Papppa been at it for years...yeah..uh..

My mind stay fucked, in the cut I stay bent n bucked/ Till my soul tell my body that the rent is up/ They say the truth'll set you free truthfully I wish it was make believe/ Got my mind made up so what that, say for me/ Shit it says I'm weak/ Every time a nigga think he at his peak the universe brings me down to my feet/ Better yet my knees, humbles me crumbles/ One man army, lays it down better than ya whole squad full of so called G's, don't call me, for no features/ I'm alone stoned still fuckin with the reefer, prolly bumping Anita/ Rest in Peace to Aretha, uh/ Have a hard time fuckin with a lot of you people, they rotten deceitful I'm jotting these evils like me too/ For those who don't see through my ego lethal deadly, mind get heavy nigga I'm weak too/ Looking in the mirror like, I don't wanna see dude, I don't wanna see you, even though he see through, yo/ If you don't respect me respect the art/ Can't say I fully played my part, but every bar comes straight from the heart/ Jaded n faded yet lucid train of thought, my thoughts I'm tryna train em all/ I just write em down paint em all/ Vivid pictures for you niggas dawg what more you want/ what more you want/ yo/
10.
Music has changed it ain't the same we can't debate that/ But you acting like you hate rap, but remember way back when you was complaining cuz nowadays these cats stay whack/ But what you doing to change that, when you co-signing the crap/ Got your mind in the trap, literally/ If you remove the politics n poli-tricks, I'd have the biggest knot in my jeans cuz I'm hot on the scene/ These rappers lifestyle's is now what they seem/ I jot what i've seen. constantly droppin these G E M Z's, ya'll be catchin Z's/ Sleepin on the capital G-O-D/ You should know me, feelin like the old Ri, uh/ (Feel like my old shit man) The world crazy you don't wanna go outside/ Behind the internet you'd rather hide, I can't blame you for wanting to live a false life/ But you know your heart fragile, delicate as my pride/ But nowadays I'd rather stay inside, speak my truths for the wise/ Jesus he's just, give deez rap niggas seizures/ Watch em seize up/ when you in the booth boy don't freeze up, you know it's neva gon ease up/ Positivity manifests when you think it and speak it, the negative easy to see when you constantly seek it/ If ya'll would just give me the respect n say I'm one of the best, I might just take my foot up off ya neck/ But you done crossed got me all upset/ Tryna class me with ya'll gon be your biggest downfall/ Lately I hardly be around ya'll, I ain't tryna clown ya'll but I gotta pound all/

about

Peace from Papppa and I. This is our first "Official" release! Papppa is a beat maker from the Netherlands, and I "Rio Thomas" (as you should know by now) am a lyricist from the Virgin Islands. Pappa and I have been making music for about four or five years now, and I think that this is by far our best work. The Luxurious sounds of "Jazz Juxtapose" are for an acquired taste. Jazz Juxtapose consists of melodic metaphors and pensive double-entendres delivered at an often progressive yet smooth pace. These bars are accompanied by Papppa's Jazzy melodies, that contain a contemporary flare. Papppa's ethereal arrangements are surrounded by thick bass lines, designed to prepare you for the often emotional, yet stern impact of the soulful lyrics. The sound being provided to you is what we consider "classic" and durable enough to withstand the test of time. With that being said, take your time and enjoy this project. Peace,Love, and blessings to you all.
