I’m back like a virus - the sickest kind
I’m the illest in the way that I rhyme
I’m not athletic no I couldn’t tackle you
But my phonetics flows so tight that it could strangle you.
Straight outta H-town I invade your brain now
More of the same sound but with more acclaim found
My weapon is my set list, fame with my best hits
Letterman? Never been, I've got Breakfast
Check this mic like get ready fight
From open mics to late night shows hype
Dual wield the mic tight like Halo night
Sights set on the top I write songs
Not to right wrongs but to reminisce on the times gone
With my light on I write long into the night
My alternate life like my studios my rap cave I’m the Dark Knight.
I’m back like the terminator, a word invader
A nostalgia pop culture retro rhyming player
So pass the controller over to me
I'm deadly like an rpg and i don’t mean the weaponry
Give you a clue like I'm blue to my true identity
Rapping like Parapa till I’m outta mana energy
Or is it mana? My accent is confused
when I'm tryna add drama or sound harder don’t know which to use
Lit the fuse like I’m Bomberman
Switching views let you choose the perspective that I'll rock you in
Sleeping in watching cartoons, advertisements suck
Subscribe to my YouTube! What!?
I'm a lyrical wizard casting a syllable blizzard
With witticism and wisdom envisioned which is it?
Witness this lyrical quidditch with a Slytherin tounge
I've got 99 problems but a snitch aint one

I used to hire from the video store
But I got tired of scratched disks that don't play anymore
And highly recommended sections disconnected from my own preferences
While I find myself tempted by expensive snacks and beverages
My imperative is entertainment at a reasonable price
Like free from an internet site right?
Might sail away and let anchors sink like magnet links in the Bay
A pirate’s life is the life for me
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
I surf the net not the seven seas
I wouldn't steal a car but I'd download one
Pirate my music download and abuse my intellectual property,
I’d do the same probably,
Potential economy lost isn’t robbery
Cost is impossibly high for a victimless crime
Do you think that it's fine?
Thousands in fines for kids downloading Miley online
Find me stacking drives with my piracy
Mp3s, movies, leeching each season before they even released within reach of my region.
A pirate’s life is the life for me
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
I surf the net not the seven seas
I wouldn't steal a car but I'd download one
I said a pirate’s life is the life for me
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
I surf the net not the seven seas
I wouldn't steal a handbag I'd download one
Feeding the seed megabit speed to the bird on my back
Parrot on my shoulder say'n Polly want a crack?
Or a cam rip or a hacked disc or a leaked hit from an artist
Dollar sign sits where their heart is
profit margins are what their art is
Cause millionaire studios don't need to sue 10 year olds
Cat o nines fly for small crimes online
Behind the times breaking their own bank
Blindfolding themselves and walking their own planks
The video killed the radio star
Like the pirate bay killed the video store
Like DVD killed the VCR
The FBI killed Megaupload

So I sleep in late give me a break it’s a lazy Sunday
Well, give or take maybe it's Monday
Some days seem to blur into one day
Each day gone the same when you’re bordering on
Groundhog up in the suburbs
Couch bound bored and malnourished
Cause 2-minute-noodles lack the nutrition
To exhibit symptoms of wanting to work
Expectations are low never disappointed
Life goals perfected in avoidance
Accept you're going nowhere fast
Pop a corona, success at last
Learnt my life philosophy from Homer
Listen, not the Greek poet the Simpson
Enlist his wisdom if problems are brewing
"If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing"
Wake up I put on yesterday’s pants
I pick up my guitar with the shoes string strap
My phones not out of credit I just havent turned it on
And I'm never late for work cause I've never had a job
I'm a slacker wooaaaaahhhhh
I'm a slacker wooaaaaahhhhh
Monday-itis? I got Janurary-itis twenty-thirteen,
This millennium-itis
I find it’s my eye lids are tired, not wired to widen for noon never seen the sun rise
Inside I’m waiting a bear hibernating for the winter
Except i hibernate all year and come out like
Never get to the finish cause i never started
But I still arrive on my own time regardless
Part time artist, the hardest part is finding the time to feel inspired
As if society conspired against my kind
With responsibilities and 9 to 5s
I won’t waste my days to a minimum wage
Put the pen to the page for a minimum grade
Unpaid not unemployed I’m just a student
Well that’s the excuse that I’m choosing to use
Beat that block when I write with a beer can
Stay inside locked pale white Playstation tan
Arts major man no cards in hand
Kick back I’m slack don’t give a damn
Like Jack Black stick it to the man I am nocturnal won't work I'll
Pass nights watching infomercials
Alive on a pizza diet like a ninja turtle
Won’t leave my shell for certain don’t wanna awaken
When just waking up takes your days motivation
Attention is failing but its life as I choose it
I'm just relaxed don't mistake me for useless
The truth is, I’m too lazy to finish this verse.

Wake up 28 days later
Read the end of the world in last week’s newspaper
Sooth sayers, God prayers
Politicians and dooms-dayers
Can't reverse the curse of these new days
Polluted veins pump blood to dead brains
Mutant movements flood streets I fled remains
Scattered fresh flesh became
A pledge of death for those left to rest in the curse of this new age
Walk down alleyway stalked alone
Torch outta battery and so is your phone
All of the others have left you for dead
Got your brains on my mind and mine out of my head
I ceased to be dead in traditional senses
Feast on the flesh of those peeps that are left.
It’s like something from the mind of George A. Romero
Coming up behind but more fear is here though
May appear slow but you better make way
There's a horde in the morgue assorted sorts of decay
As face the pains of the taste of brains raw
Face to face with a rusty chainsaw
Must be insane or in need of a medic
But there's no anaesthetic
To an embedded genetic defect in aesthetic and soul
Delivering death to those already dead, cold
Uncovered from rubble a body battered and bled
Eyes red opened its mouth and said
Taking a taxi, yo I’m taking a hearse
Under the zombie curse
Don’t need to go to school, don’t need to go to work
Under the zombie curse
Don’t have to eat my veges to get my desert
Under the zombie curse
Ate my boss’ brains cause he was a jerk
Under the zombie curse
Now that I’m a zombie limp in my step with a little smile,
Do what I want in the afterlife – Jjust like the middle child
Walk past the grocery store flashing back these memories,
Watching history fade immortally I’ve got the the centre seat
Before when bullies pissed me off I would try to beat em,
Now when someone ticks me off I just try to eat em
The best part a being a zombie isn’t being a killer,
it’s that anytime I want I can do Michael Jackson's thriller
Rapping satirical, my brain is so clever lyrical acting cynical really being very hypocritical
Can’t handle my new lifestyle contraception,
Flesh laces my mind like a pig skin interception
You better not get me steamed up like the vapors
Or else me and my crew will be the zombies that ate your neighbours
The one thing that hasn’t changed and forever remains the same, Is anytime I meet a girl I always want to get some brain

Some squeeze ‘em in the summer season
For kids on the street where the sun's heats beaming
Underneath the trees, in the breeze, in the shade
Paper cup of lemonade made a jug to go the day
Always gotta sweeten, sugar to the litre
Ice from the freezer, price kinda meagre
Citrus paradise business and vice right where we are
Fresh kids bring refreshments
I’ll take my lemonade with some fresh mint
50 cents spent had never tasted sweeter
Lemonade stand, you know I’m gonna be there
Sometimes I think the best job I ever had
Was down on the corner at my lemonade stand
Apples and oranges ain't for me
5 plus a day from the lemon tree
Now I got a juicer imma mass produce a
Juice smooth you will lose all your loose change
To this juice made on this crusade
Against 7UP and Sprite this is real lemonade
If the weather is right take a sip before you pay
Stay and sit for half a day
I’m on the corner like a dealer
Made it for my teacher
She takes it with tequila
Feel I need a lemon tree
I don't need no vending machine
pretending to be my childhood friend
I'd spend every last second at the lemonade stand
My favourite things are lemon meringue
And playing guitar in a rock ‘n roll band
Marmalade jam leather and denim
And our tour van you know it’s a lemon

High Roller (Feat. Mum)
03:25

I’m a high roller, a fly baller
Stay up real late and I sleep in when I wanna
I’m a high roller a shot caller
Go where I please and I do what I wanna
Got my own private cinema on my laptop
Chill in my drop top Benz the make is Match Box
I'm mad boss, wearing a suit when I go to the mall
A size too small from the second hand store
Setting chips down sweating I'm betting it all
Cause I'm a major player, Connect Four
I’m better than y’all when I spit on a track
What I'm lacking in skill I make up in arrogance
I don’t drive to the party I got a chauffeur
Provided I find the bus fare behind the sofa
Monopoly money I’m stacking bills to the ceiling
I'm scheming and wheeling for real I'm dealing the dopest product you've even seen
By that I mean my first edition Charizard card
Mint condition don’t have to ask
My diamonds are plastic, gold chains zero carrot
but I still feel fly with my removable tatts cause I’m a high roller.
When I take you out for dinner we’ll be going classy
No BK or Maccas, yo we’re rolling Wendy’s
The fact is I’m not really known for my philanthropy
Cause I’m high roller don’t mean that I’m a charity
Retired at twenty three, immersed in the cash
I don’t have to work cause work and incomes got my back
The worth of my bank is in six digits
If you count the cents and ignore the numbers negative
Do on the d-low, tax free yo
When I mow the lawn I get 5 dollars for the week
I blow it on the street fighter 2 machine though
Was gonna say yolo but no,
See I’m a high roller keep my rep in check so
If you meet me on the street you best show respect
Cause I do a lot of killing... on the internet
Nevertheless you should know better than to step to a high roller.
Roll down the block
Hand on my gat, locked and loaded
Just popped a cop, shot and reloaded
Got to say this high roller game is one full of pain son
See I’ve been playing GTA since the PSone
Off brand snap backs, oversized track pants
Popp’n a cap off a pack of Tic-Tacs
Keep’n it fresh up in the middle class you see
In actuality I may not be but I maintain mentalities of a high roller.

In The Year 2000

Take the Tardis forward in time,
Start my Delorian
I'm part historian part tourist when I
Hitchhike galaxies on the Enterprise
Will calamity decide whether we live or we die
Soar to the stars or burn in our pride
Rise of the Machines, well they haven’t risen far
I Totally Recall we'd be living on mars
Landed on the moon or so they say
New millennium and a digital age
The future is now but I’m disappointed
Where's our hovercraft cars and our teleporters?
Future visions of the past
The 80's had a flavour that reality lacks
No judgement day just the Y2k
And the year following was no Space Odyssey
2012 prophecies, dystopia teems
From utopian dreams
Indeed I am pleased we're not living a scene
From Soylent Green, if I had a time machine
I’d take it back to the old BC
Before technology ruled our lives
Chill with praetorians in the Roman times
Part historian, part tourist when I
High five a pharaoh by the Nile side
Landed on the moon or so they say
Automatic doors, cloned DNA
The future is now but I’m underwhelmed
Where’s our portal guns and anti-gravity belts?
Alone, stuck in the past-with-a blown flux capacitor
With luck ill have a chance to get back
So I Tap a lightning strike atop the pantheon and I'm home
Back up in the present make a time machine train wreck
keep life unexpected I elect to maintain living life by each day
The future’s unwritten. There’s no fate but what we make.

Come on down now to N.Sanity Beach
I got the sun on my back and the sand on my feet.
Where the ground has holes and the flowers have teeth
Come on down now to N.Sanity Beach
I'm a Naughty Dog and I'm goin’ Hog Wild
A Jungle Roller rolling to the next island
Every time I find a crystal you know I’m gonna ride it
Flown’ upstream dodging TNT and nitro so
Come on down now to N.Sanity Beach
I got the sun on my back and the sand on my feet
Where the ground has holes and the flowers have teeth
Come on down now to N.Sanity Beach
On a beat fat like Papu Papu
I rap a rhyme fast like Ripper Roo
Dashing boulders, breaking boxes, beating bosses, eating wumpas
Defeating Cortex yeah he can't stop us.
Speeding through a vortex hit the bonus round
Stampeding over turtles flip ‘em upside down
If you’re believing you can burn me flatten me or blow me up
Don't flatter yourself I got my (Aku-Aku)

Days when all we talked about were video games
Are like a video played in my memory’s haze
Taping cartoons on VHS tapes
So we could fast forward the ad breaks
Remember back when we were sitting in classes
And 3d meant blue and red glasses
Kids these days would never believe this
We played the game for the game not for the achievements
And our hardest times weren’t really that hard
Cause when life gives you lemons yeah you throw them at cars
Collected DBZ cards but never knew how to play
See we perfected the art of paper planes and pencil croquet
Where in the world is Carmen Santiago?
I say though, where in the world did all of those days go?
Home alone, rock paper scissors
Clocking a game on the Master System II
Many memories to memorise
Like the number of novels released by R.L Stine
I get Goosebumps and teary eyes when I think of the times
We were all care free way back up in the ‘90s
Back in a classroom all afternoon and bored
When Saturday morning cartoons were worth getting up for
Before transformers transformed into garbage
Poke’mon, Rugrats, Duck Tales, Hey Arnold!
Schwarzenegger was in his prime, the last action hero was the last of his time
It sounds clichéd and you that know it might be
But you know I really miss the ‘90s
Tell me where's Wally aka Waldo
I say though, where in the world did all of those days go?
Home Improvement and the Simpsons
Clocking a game the Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Memories distant but ever so vivid
Think of my child hood, blink and I’ve missed it
Times I revisit in my raps reminiscing on my tracks
Thinking back to the past days
When all we talked about were video games
Is like a video played in my memory’s haze
Check my chattering bling sing the Poke’mon theme song
I start my weekend with my TV on
We were all together it will never be the same
Half an hour felt forever on a Saturday

Dragon, dragon, rap the dragon, Dragon Ball Z
Dragon, dragon, rap the dragon, MC JB
Welcome everybody to my hyperbolic rhyme chamber
Out in ‘89 arrives twelve years later
An instant hit in its instant transmission to kid’s televisions
DBZ fanatic though they keep repeating Namek
Will Frieza be defeated will we ever leave this planet?
Parents hate the violence so our episodes were cut
Now we wait an hour watching Goku power up!
Cha la head cha la
Coming at you like a Kamehameha
A Saiyan slayer, defeat ‘em with ease
Leave ‘em in need of a whole bag of Senzu Beans
Sky blacken, awaken the dragon
Wish they made a better live action
Up on a mission keep wishing back Krillin
Masenko-ing villains from Cell to Red Ribbon
In weighted training I’m Super Saiyan
Play Budokai, Hyperdimension all day
Making cellophane scouters
Hope they won’t explode if I go over 9000!
The teen Gohan of the game remember jamming on
Budokai the game playing, not a Hercule for the fame
The big guy, it’s under King Kai that I train
Special Beam Canon, planning, I must focus
Power level gets huge and Future Trunks knows this
On TV DBZ was like it exploded, just know this,
My CD is a Destructo Disk
Ripping like a claw from a dinosaur
Vid Kids wicked spitting like a Spirit Bomb
With my android phone Gero made
Is where I’m gonna go and punch Jeice in the face
Waste people that’ll be fun
Especially when it’s coming from my Galick Gun
Battling Saibermen till the battle has ended
Then Kid goes Super Saiyan ascended.

Cereal Killer
02:54

I’m the illest of killers, keep names of my victims
On a hand written list on the side of my fridge
Don’t ask me reasons why I may have picked them
My actions are twisted, my mind even sicker.
My favourite method is drowning.
I still hear the sounds when they scream in my sleep but I’m not sad about it
Pieces of you on the floor, doubt I’ll be caught
Though you know forever I will cherish the thought
Of the moments spent together before you spent the last of yours
I picked you up put you in the trunk
You were quiet, no, silent.
With the bag over you, you couldn’t say much
To feel your touch just wasn’t enough
I had to keep going ‘till I used you all up
I’m a cereal killer seriously ill
A psychological pain, psycho logic ingrained
Sick sane and defeated know that I need this
And I need no reasons these personal demons
Insane not for fame I’m just sick in the brain
Feeding my desires I crave.
It’s getting late contemplate clippings on my wall
You all thought you were special cause they put you in a catalogue?
When I was a child I burnt my toast on purpose
Learned to crush Coco Pops just to watch them burst
And see most their insides rise up to the surface
Birth a perfect pattern from the pieces that were this
Purposeless victim of my faded heart, haze of dark,
Open you up, deep cuts, tear you up to cup
You don’t seem very Cheerio my Honey Puff
Do you want me to stop? No sound so I spill you out
Snap crackle pop right into my mouth
No fear to be found in my delirium
Cause I kinda like the sound of a Sanitarium
I’m a cereal killer from breakfast ‘till dinner
A psychological pain, psycho logic ingrained
Sick sane and defeated know that I need this
And I need no reasons to crush ‘em like Weet-Bix
Insane not for fame I’m just sick in the brain
Feeding my desires I crave.

In Saw Jigsaw was on the floor all along
In King Kong, Kong dies from the fall
Empire state to the road below
In Moon, the main characters a clone
Leias Luke’s sister and Vaders his father
Who severed his hand like James Franco's arm
Bruce is a ghost in the Sixth Sense
Mementos of out sequence edited
Tyler Durden isn’t a person and when will they learn
Splitting up in horror films only makes things worse
When Harry Potter dies he comes back to life
Unlike Snape who turns out to be a good guy
Think I might ruin every film that your viewing
Tell you how it goes before you see the show
I can name the five Cylons, films DiCaprio dies on
Tell you how it goes before you've seen the show
Reality’s the biggest spoiler
The Titanic sinks deep in the water
The 300 are slaughtered, out numbered
In 500 Days of Summer, she’s not his true lover
In The Prestige, Bale had a brother
Monty Python and the Holy Grail unveiled
They were escaped patients, mentally ill
Truman’s life’s fake like Vanilla Sky
I know it’s not a film but the cake is a lie
In Game of Thrones, Sean Bean dies
On The Island, Sean Bean dies
In Equilibrium, Sean Bean dies
One does not simply live through a movie
In Golden Eye, Sean Bean dies
In Lord of the Rings, Sean Bean dies
In Death Race 2, Sean Bean dies
One does not simply, live through a movie

Up to one kind of mischief or another
Inside my wolf suit I ran wild until
Mother sent me to my room without supper
I suffer because I said I'd eat her up
But before I knew a forest grew through
From the floor to the roof for true
Soon a moon in my room don’t believe what I’m seeing
Vines from the ceiling
I rubbed my eyes cause I thought I was dreaming
The walls became the world outside
Then on my private boat float through day and through night
Sail away on the tide
In and out of weeks almost over a year
To where the wild things are
They roared their terrible roars
They gnashed their terrible teeth
They rolled their terrible eyes
And showed their terrible claws
From distant shores to where the wild things are.
Yellow eyes wide glare at me
Bellowed cries rise
Teeth white bared at me
But I’m not scared you see: "be still"
I’ve got a magic trick won’t blink
Stare them in the eyes strike fear in their minds quick
Quiet they paused,
Tamed them for sure
Silenced their roars
Frightened they called me the most wild thing of them all
Now I am the king of this land
Found a crown on head sceptre in hand
Sing songs day or night light or dark
My first command, let the wild rumpus start!
Climbing trees, riding beasts
Fires feasts, hide and seek
In piles heaped wild and free
Now I am a wild thing
In charge on top, king of the lot
Fun like no other but when I am done
I will send you to slumber without any supper
Say what? I said STOP!
Sitting in my wolf suit
I can choose what I wanna do
But all I do is think back to all the things I thought couldn't lose
Far across the sea smell good things to eat
Here I am free but it feels so lonely
Away from the people who love me and know me
Surrounded, alone, out here on my own
King of the wild while I’m without a home
The weight of this crown is now weighing me down
I think it’s about time that I put it down
And the wild things cried:
Please don’t go well eat you up we love you so
I said no as I turned my head toward the ocean
Stepped into my boat and set sail homeward
Into the night of his very own room he found his supper waiting for him
And it was still hot.

Poke'Blues (Bonus Track)

1999 in the school yard
Lunch time spent trading Pokémon cards
Couldn’t afford a game boy I had No$gmb
Got it on an emulator
From the rom is how I played it
Charmander was the one that I chose
I remember running errands for professor oak
I'm a game freak and Imma gonna be
Waiting at the top of the Pokémon league.
As I’m writing this rhyme yea its taking me back
to the days when I had memorised the Pokémon rap
Elecrtrode, Diglett, Nidoran, Mankey,
Venusaur, Rattata, Fearow, Pidgey
It doesn’t really that your life is average
When you’re a Pokémon master nothing else matters
Spending your nights collecting gym badges
Leveling up to do maximum damage
Teacher confiscated all my Pokémon toys
Broke into her office to get back my Blastoise
But what am I gonna do when there's no one left to choose
Sit at home alone on my Nintendo with the Pokémon blues.
1999 and I turn on my TV
After school yea it just got real
From 4:00 to 4.30 Ash, Brock and Misty
I am too busy for homework or chores
After or before
Cause I’m training my Caterpie evolve it to Butterfree
I traded it for a Raticate.
But I’d take it right back like a quick attack
If I had the chance to relive the past.
For a while I was at the top
Filled my Pokedex yea I caught them all
Becoming the best that there ever was
Crawling through tall grass throwing Pokeballs
Cause Pokémon was my reason for breathing
From pallet town to Fuschia city
Attending poke parties on the s.s anne
Battled every trainer who made eye contact
Had a Pokémon lunchbox and a Pokémon cap
Got my Pokeballs kept in my Pokémon pack.
But what am I gonna do when there's no one left to choose
Sit at home alone on my Nintendo with the Pokémon blues.
See the TV shatter my dreams
Ash defeated at the Pokémon league
Tears gleam in my eyes, too young to realise
It was just the networks scheme to milk the franchise
Had 151 mew and Mewtwo
And now they tell me there's a few hundred new
Pokémon, come on, I thought I caught ‘em all
But there’ll always be more on the next console
Cause you should know you won’t achieve your dreams
There’s always something more from where you wanted to be
Standing alone on the Indigo Plateau
But we’ll never reach the end of Victory Road
You won’t be able to revive me when I depart
Flail on the ground like a Magikharp
And in my desolation I'll sleep forever
Till I wake up dead in a Pokémon centre
