king tut 02:14
Humbled by the hand-me-down used car mileage If we get caught, exercise the silence Since an adolescence... Been groomed for independence Product of a third world Cultural Impressions Dreamed of Cleopatra Just a boy they called King Buried with my treasures Like its only one thing Got the spirit of a pharaoh in me Heart pumps alcoholic Carcinogenic Blood to flood kidney I believe in the holy water Baptized in Orthodox Kissed Nefertiti's daughter She taught me in renaissance Fingertips, run trips Along trails Hieroglyphics, it's... Been engraved in Egyptian Rosetta Walking through the Pyramids That's been built by hand My fate written on papyrus Draws back to Osiris Hook: I'm made up of a King Tut (King TUT) 24 karat gold Makes up my mold CAiroglyphics, specifics That's been engraved in limestones It's King Tutankhamun When he enters the room (Pharoah) (Souvenirs, Novelties, Party tricks) (repeat) Verse 2: The prince of the air sends death with a kiss Biggest lie to man is that he doesn't exist (devil's a lie) Cold part about it, hell will never freeze over The scars of a soldier, funerals getting closer If money is the root, I plant my seeds among the poor When the rain comes, the yields more Most rich men, have no religion Free from all the guilt when Committing the sin, (uh) Living in poverty not too many options Only necessities coming from the bottom It's difficult to keep the straightened arrow Then I remember I'm the descendent of a Pharaoh Hook: (repeat)

hello hello 02:34
Greetings Earthling (Hello, Hello, Hello, ooo, Hello) I would like to probe... (hello, hello, ooo) One of your orifices (hello) My mission? (Hello, Hello, Hello,ooo, Hello) ...to see if you're compatible With the geometric progressions... (Hello, Hello. Hello, Hello) Of my organisms Verse 1: "Hello"... A word we both don't understand Why it's used To introduce Me to you Your cousins too... ...if we only get that far Life is what you make it, can't forget that part To probe your mind and your soul for a bit Make sure you're someone that I could grow with (old with) Run analysis on software If I fell on hard times would you be there? I'm not supposed to talk to earth girls Momma... Says they're worthless just like earth pearls Drama But I don't care, just wanna see ya.. Naked And we can take it to my spaceship Hook: "Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello" (repeat) Verse 2: Hey baby girl it's been awhile I haven't seen ya, I missed your smile Protect your heart at any cost Don't take a loss Ya I heard... That the square life is a life with kids.. for the birds Then I met you Drop the drop top down Summer 92' Like we're lakeshore bound Hook (repeat)

Hook: If my dreams were to become Crystallized Would half my life pass by Right before my eyes ? (repeat) Verse: Wake up in the morning, when I see you: All she ever wants is something new Maybe I could tell you all I know As easy as the wind blows Nothing stays the same Vision into destiny, seems to fade away Timing of our fantasy will happen one day Listening to the sweet lies knowing that I know: Maybe I should let it go Let down my pride Begin to show That you need me and we can grow But nothing stays the same Life is but a dream Love is always true (all the places I know, all the places you go) I want to be with you So we can Rock-N-Roll Let our beats take control And we can fly to place today Bye to Mumbai, Bombay.. Helloooo Let's go back to the old Spaces that we've known Don't leave it alone... Hook: If my dreams were to become Crystallized Would half my life pass by right before my eyes?

weird 04:23
Weird Lyrics Verse 1: Popular crowd Never did fit Under equipped Considered misfit More under pressure the harder it gets The flower, the water, the unleavened mix... My mind will run in tangents I grew up in a Coptic home Where we lived by commandments: Thou shall not lie, Thou shall not steal Came from an era considered as real They do not make them like us anymore "Time is of the essence", we heard it before My mind will run in tangents Living in paranoia, questioning man's advancements Bridge: There was a time When I lost my mind And I gave it all to you There was a time When I lost my mind But I gave it all to you Hook: I'm weird Dress different, I think too much... I can't trust, take drugs, won't keep in-touch I'm imperfect in my ways But I promise if you love me Then I'll give you all of my days, I'm imperfect I'm weird Dress different, I think too much I can't trust, take drugs, won't keep in-touch Verse 2: These inner city blues Got me crying out red sea tears What do you know about PTSD? With a little bit of pill dependency? I'm talking about no cares for no trends No fears with no friends Most of the time I spend time on my own When I'm in public, I'm feeling alone... I suffered multiple fractures 'Kurie `ele`ycon" May HE lead me to greener pastures ... and if I'm scrutinized for my particular view Take time to think about it I'm no different than you Hook: I'm weird Dress different, I think too much I can't trust, take drugs, won't keep in-touch (repeat) (guitar solo) I'm weird Dress different, I think too much I can't trust, take drugs, won't keep in-touch (repeat) -written by Mark Samir Adam

purify 02:40
Purifier to be higher From the words let it elevate Religious to the beat With the words just to consummate Never left scraps on a fine dine china plate Always wrote raps with some time Let it resonate ... wait... Take a look at the stars And view the sun illuminate the moon Behind these bars Do you remember? Penny loafers, Michael Jackson Bad Wish we could go back to the times that we had When the sun and the moon Both rest in the sky I reminisce to a bliss memory of you and I Never say goodbye If this world were mine Your inspiration to my rhyme My Sade, if loving you is a crime.. It feels good like the 90’s Rewind time please To water-balloon fights in air max 90s When time was irrelevant.... Bridge: Rewinding the high notes When riding the sky coach Was living in high hopes Surviving the tight ropes Your family and my folks We laugh at the same jokes Prayers with cloud smokes Purify my soul...

heAvy 04:04
Verse 1: Closer to my dreams I can picture myself With visions of palm trees, calm seas for my health Tangible as concrete, I defeat those Antagonistic thoughts that tend to oppose And those... That pose as foes For all my dreams For all my goals Indubitable lifestyle is what I chose Where my life goes... Only GOD knows Where the ink flows... Only the pen knows Matures and grows On paper that the notebook holds... I tend to drift, with the gift Pray throughout my day I may resist, to shift My position, take intermission, from program Away from the turf servin' Swervin' in a Brougham Common faces that paces Up and down boulevards Livin' this Cali life is considered as "hella" hard When you're living amidst the struggle Where common folks juggle And lost souls hustle I remain the same Stay true to virtue Maintain my mind frame Cause the game will hurt you Unless you treat it with the same respect Expect no changes unless you change your aspect (huh) So now I listen when speak to you My words flew, what they knew Though few Soul grew Hook: Heavy is the head that wears gold crown Heavy is the neck-lace that it goes around Heavy is the head that wears gold crown Heavy is the neck-lace that it goes around Verse 2: My thought pro-cess considered as vintage In digital times with traditional pillage I'm amazed I made it out of my village Where the po-po's and the po-pimps Play in scrimmage Pops told me: "Idle hands are a workshop... ...for the devil, be careful, never let work stop" So I practice, training on a campus Young Rembrandt painting on a canvas Dreams of success, I must confess Somehow forget how I'm already blessed Somehow suggests how Im already stressed Ripped from the breast My whole life has been depressed Pops surpassed the triple bypass We couldn't see Leukemia coming with eyeglass Learned that life is just a cloud of smoke I put my faith into my prayers Easy comes the yolk Heavy is the head that wears gold crown Heavy is the neck-lace that it goes around Heavy is the head that wears gold crown Heavy is the neck-lace that it goes around

souvenirs 03:43
Living in a world of a constant struggle Swimming around sharks it's hard to be humble Blood is in the water Get your bread they said Money perpetuates the greed with death And if I could touch the sky... But I'm afraid to fall I got my back against wall With the bible in my hand I'd be less of a man if I said, I read ...more than I did Just a little coptic kid Running outside of the grid Walked the slums of "al sharia Abu Qir" Seen the dogs, but no millionaire To the E.14th's by my 16th year Quick as the eye that blinks Quick as the mind that thinks All I wanna do is just.... (guitar solo) Verse 2: Dance to the sunrise Floating Red Seas underneath a cloud nine Painting in the sky with a fine line Maybe we could fly if we only try... But I'm afraid fall Feeling like I got my back against the wall Adolescent dreams Seem to recall Devil is in my ear like: "Give up completely" Poppas in my head like: "yallah habibi" Masri is the bloodline Pita bread, hummus, five days of the lunch time Before the retros I had the velcros Kid with the big nose and the ill flows Bustin' raps in the hallway Dreaming in class I could see myself all day On THE BOX and MTV Rap City and CMC, (Yee!) Back when I had the neon green Huffy Everybody wanted to just mean-mug me Pops didn't play man... I'd rather go jail Coming from a third world Grew up with a sore tail Coming to America, be damned if he'd fail I used to inhale Marijuana smoke Whoever counted me out, couldn't count The ESL they spoke was broke Rapping for dummies Concerned for monies Disrespect the culture You rats and vultures! I shed blood for craft Tears through the years Sweat through the pores With no souvenirs Bridge: That's what my heart keeps telling me They're hating on my 'Love Jones' Being on their Bellamy Mad at my melody All I wanna do is just spit my specialty (repeat)

I ain't with the gang gang I’m with GOD/ Pain is too genuine to be living life fraud/ Bound by the flesh My enemy never rests/ Spirit is growing Despite the enemies tests/ Suggesting that I walk blindly among sheep/ The Lord is my Shepard He shall never forsake me/ faith is what you make it, the hardest thing about religion/ Man oversees it and judges me for decisions/ fogging up the vision/ spraying toxins in the sky/ playing with the weather, causing poor people to die/ but ya'll don't wanna hear that/ just dummy rap/ so Imma dumb it down just to bring right back! Check it jack: Hook: I ain’t with the Gang gang I'm with God! Alot of these characters and their stories are just fraud/ Like a material girl in a material world/ I can't help but drop jewels, these mother of pearls/ I ain't with the Gang Gang I'm with God A lot of your idols struggle with identity hard/ Like a material girl in a material world/ I can't help but drop jewels, these mother of pearls 2nd v I ain't with the gang gang I got God My pain is too genuine to be living life fraud/ Bound by the flesh My enemy never rests/ Survival of the fittest/bare witness to success/ The one who has knowledge, uses words with restraint/ even a fool is considered wise when he ain't/ excellent speech, becometh not from a fool/ much less from lying lips of a prince cometh too/the tongue has the power, over life and over death/ I’m propelling success/ amidst the lies and the threats/ we speak of being woke, phrasing in the past tense, allowing some ignorance to reside within the address.. Hook (repeat)

red seA 04:18
Verse: It's 2:45 and we both can't drive I know your friends are waiting on ya And they're parked outside What if we went to go eat Find a place that's cool... Tell me what you do for work? Oh you're going to school... Pre-Med? what are you doing in here? Oh happy birthday on your 24th year Tell me something... do you like the arts? Get lost within the music and watch the stars? Talk to God and still hope for love? I wouldn't blame you if you've given up We're all damaged in some form or fashion And I hope you're not offended in me for asking I wanna know if your soul can grow Share in the things that hard to show You know you're beautiful No need to stress it But it's nice to at least suggest it Look... I just wanna spend time with you Most valuable asset, ya can't get Oh, that's your girl calling... I'll let ya go But before I do I'd like to know: Hook: Have you ever floated boats on the Red Sea Drowned in the fine wine Grapes grown in Italy Soaked in the French sun Moons over Sicily? (repeat)
