Airplane Mode (intro) Allow me to introduce myself my name is HarveyUncouth I salute myself/  i impute myself and Pursue my-self/ ill be dammed if this game just permutes my self/ I broke out the box couldn't acute myself/ won't dilute myself, still commute minds felt across/ uniformed platforms and these bars/ connect, Live and direct through your stereo sets/ Catching wreck, and on my neck the world I protect/ most prevalent in architectural rhyme design/ While in the lion’s den in these turbulent times/ Still fly gravity defied, read between the lines/ look at our skies, when we fall they demand we rise/ ain't got to much to lose, but I'm betting it on the win/ when I stay going in, battling leviathans/got violins for dramatic reenactments/ when I come trough in a fashion, to cash in, with cash bins/ in money basking, flows cold as aspen/ like why you asking? We got these joints on backs spins/ for they back spins... And these actions/ be that of fractions, from rhyme gambling transactions/the world is up for keeps, play second string to none/ The world under seage still under these we come/ to dominate and demonstrate, dedicate on feather wights/ and take the crown Back home, to rein till the levi breaks/.... take the crown Back home, to rein till the levi breaks/........ take the crown Back home, to rein till the levi breaks/

The Papers 02:45
The Papers (Verse 1) Ayo I come from the struggle, The hustle, humble beginnings/ the muscles, the bottom inning, the troubles that lock you in it/ that hide your face, don't let em see you cry if you up in it/ thats seen as a sign of weakness, and we in it to win it/ see biggie showed us that from the bottom the skies the limit/ then I factored in the galaxy and saw The skies infinite/ we tend to box ourselves in these four walls we live in/ And tend to do some stupid shit always hoping to fit in/ if you could hear half the shit I see under this fitted/ then you would give in, but I write continue living/ a sane reality when propaganda is what we're given/ painting out side of the lines is something that's strictly forbidden/ I paint out side these lines like stian, yo who be stopping me/ when i properly body beats, bottom feats and new world novelties/ when childhood dreams, shelter schemes of water front properties/ a hip hop scene monopoly, and million dollar shipping sprees/ (Hook) (JuanSense) cuts Back in the days Biz said it was The Vapors  But today, I realize that it's the papers  (Verse 2) You can blame it on the less unfortunate for that fortune shit, i be touching shit/ forfeit it or call for it regardless, Here's force for it/ to conquer fortresses, dominance is so notorious/ spit in my Prominence for promises that's so victorious/ inglorious to many, who don't know what the story is/ his-tory is unaware of what this cate-gory is/ homie is keeping tabs, like I write it down recording it/ then homeboy is in the lab, like a rat on some Gordy shit/ hitting with the type of shit they breaking down the boarders with/ shooting with the type of shit you wait for the fourth quarter with/ now, can I kick it?...Watch the way I score this shit/ to be specific, i’m Prolific on my poet shit/ Razor sharp status, Reminiscent of a guillotine/ Through concrete jungles, we navigate in search of these/ opportunities of purpose to surface/ that in term is, the type of shit that you can't purchase/ (Hook) (JuanSense) cuts Back in the days Biz said it was The Vapors  But today, I realize that it's the papers

The Atlas Complex/ Solomon's Theory (Intro) Got Gotham on my back....  Un..... Couth (Verse 1) I told my moms I'd make it far/ put it all in on these bars/ count my stars, push until I can't no more and disregard/ the bar, that limitation/ like weight classifications/ bad representation or project housing placement/ just get a fatter bank statement, let that be my statement/ the green wont bring you happiness, but it'll make shit move/ make gears turn like corrupted cogs/ I write my blues, in blacks on whites spawned for many dawns/ kings, bishop or pawn/ A Queen to set it off/ then set it off/ As i read it off/ I made a promise, told myself always keep it honest/ Embedded in my phonics, Ebonics, comics and my sonnets/ Uncouth to many, though heroic on the low/ the last dragon got the glow, a villainous approach/ body tracks like the iceman/ colder than Ice man/ or Iceland... Cooler than Mr. Freeze's life span/ (Hook) I got my world on back/ got my culture on my shoulders/ chains around my neck got my scale tipping over/ carry on the weight, shit i’m destined for the come up/ I'm Atlas at this, stand until my runs up/ from the slums of Gotham, I'm justice in the nights/ I'm chaos in my plights/ I flip a coin despite/ a self constructed perception of perfection/ a Solomon seven day history and resurrection/ (Verse 2) Currency is made in trust of the messiah/ I'm stacking them to pay priors, the percentage is higher same reasons why I'm/ up early crown worthy got a mind that's king worthy/ a voice thats unworldly/ and though love changes, these days its about what amount to/ well that depends.... whats the amount do?/ cause them checks ignite them flood lights like the levies/ niggas talking about phantoms son my chevy barely runs/  ain't no shame we on the grind shunned niggas taking aim/ while I up hill climb, to maintain / an apparatus skilled with the mechanical/ machinery an animal I show My teeth, and alligator mandible/ reach in, get torn up, I strike like mum chuck/ have you throwing your hands up like what a nun chucks/ I'm young trunks, aint even seen my true potential/ got 16s and murder schemes  all in sequential/ on instrumentals I'm a savage with a pencil/ sporting a mental, you couldn't trace up with a stencil/ rebel credentials Mastered the essentials/ Advanced like I meant to, with no consent due/ on the real......  (Hook) [2X] I got my world on back/ got my culture shoulders/ chains around my neck got my scale tipping over/ carry on the weight, shit im destined for the come up/ I'm Atlas at this, stand until my runs up/ from the slums of Gotham, I'm justice in the nights/ I'm chaos in my plights/ I flip a coin despite/ a self constructed perception of perfection/ a Solomon seven day history and resurrection/

In Time 03:51
In Time (Verse 1) ayo I'm pressed for time like my palm's on the clock/ and the world goes 'round like the hands on a watch/ And the come up is a trip, travel block by block/ when you can't knock the hustle still at legitimate spots/ still at ease with the summer breeze on the wind chill/ Parked in the same spot, tickets on my windshield/ there's tolls to be paid, we ain't made men yet/ and "yet" being the word most cats forget/ cause "yet" means there's a promise, some hope in the horizon/ moms keep on watching, you'll see your son is rising/ pops keep on pushing me, I got something to prove/ these four walls ain't enough, I need more rooms/ Baby girl is growing up, I gotta be that father figure/ cause cats ain't bringing up they kids so you gotta figure/ this world would be a better place if I stick around/ for her, carry that crown, So I show her/ that.. (Hook)  I put a hold on a day off/ You gotta work to get the pay off/ I'm putting in my time, to get myself Einstein/ a legend in my time!/  Living in these timeless times/ Looking at the world.. It's mine../  Looking at the crown it's mine../ Hours, minutes to seconds I'm still alive in time/ (Verse 2) I use to wish for better days, listening to better days/ got my raps game up, opposite of all my grades/ got my tatt game up, illustrative in my ways/ all I need is my bank now, legitimate forms of tender/ who's the pretender, When broke means broke?/ choke means choke, in the crowds, weed smoke/ when these lights are what you dream of, and you seem gone just because/ today ain't what tomorrow has in store for you so we just/ wait around hoping for shit to go down/ won't dig around, what now, ain't shit been found/ well how the diamond in the ruff shine?/ when no body Is really looking, and we fine, reclined/ not giving a fuck, when luck won't make it self/ you make your own luck, I bet all of it on myself/ son I ain't got much to lose, in fact it's quite the opposite/ the world is up for keeps, I'm copping all stock in it/ something to profit wit/ (Hook)  I put a hold on a day off/ You gotta work to get the pay off/ I'm putting in my time, to get myself Einstein/ a legend in my time!/  Living in these timeless times/ Looking at the world.. It's mine../  Looking at the crown it's mine../ Hours, minutes to seconds I'm still alive in time/ (Verse 3) Tonight I forget the troubles of this world/ And sport my smile out loud so grateful for my baby girl/ breathe in a breath of fresh air for my new heir/ We here... And in good health this gonna be a good year/ I woke up early in there morning with a different state of mind/ a creative way to rhyme, then I turned and shut the blinds instead/ I don't need the whole world looking in/ got enough to deal with, plus it's to early to begin/ since most emcees Now a days are depressed/ or stressed on some chain to grown shit/ I'm on my crown shit, I'm on my sound shit, that look at us now shit, turned it around and now we smile shit/ they want that cloud shit, that keep us down cause we brown shit/ so low to the ground shit, that in mud puddles we drown shit/ No! I'ma make to the top/ in my snack fitted I'ma make it off the block/ I'ma show em how I lock, in/ like I clocked, in,  how I stop in, to get to cropp-ing/ and cut the lames out the frame/ in this game, I'll remain a champion/  "Stop" it can't be done/ (Hook)  I put a hold on a day off/ You gotta grind to get the pay off/ I'm putting in my time, to get myself Einstein/ a legend in my time!/  Living in these timeless times/ Looking at the world.. It's mine../  Looking at the crown it's mine../ Hours, minutes to seconds I'm still alive in time/

Let Loose of Me (Hook) Wish I could change things now How it use to be/ Tore us down And we foolishly/ Stayed and drowned/  Just let loose of me!/  (Verse 1) I kick hot verses for a higher purpose/ a real nigga versus, serpentine like hurst’s, photos in purses/ of grieving mothers,  they first born lost to the streets/ like my old lady, lost me to a beat/ I repeat, we play for keeps/ but when you bet your life, there ain't no winning/ when losing is the only way of life/ there ain't no quitting while your ahead, sleepless laying in bed/ thinking of what it could've been like instead/ if we da came up draped up surrounded by the richest/ instead of lamed up, In the kitchen/ bitching, Hungry, starring at dirty dishes/ roaches on the tables, counters and sinks, and we're wish-less/ wishing we'd win on birthdays as christmas/ a better life, new sneakers on your wish list/ and acceptance, that's why the streets appeal to ya/ till your laid out, now, is that to Real for ya?/ (Hook) Wish I could change things now How it use to be/ Tore us down And we foolishly/ Stayed and drowned/  Just let loose of me!/  (Verse 2) They say be careful what you wish for, you just might get it/ be careful when your piss poor, you just might sweat it/ it might just take you to that place if you let it/ to the point of no return, then your trapped and regret it/ forgotten! Or laid to rest, Temporarily embedded/ in fading memories, Till your image manifests itself/ i seem to stress myself, thinking of what of I could've done/ to prevent this shit going down the drains, and some/ go on, not looking back, I stay on that/ beating myself up over spilled water! I'm trying to be a better father/ a better husband all together, a role model for my little brother through this weather/ I use the rain to cleanse my pain, and slowly drain the strain/ on my brain, to remain the same and not let this shit change me/ or rearrange me, display me to the masses/ in my reflection, a strange me/ a drained me! A man falling in pieces/ never fold, but in these creases/ I see what you would stand for, what some would kill a man for/ what some would plan for... And let history write demands for/ witnessed a man stand tall, not knowing he's meant to bleed/ Shot down InFront of his seeds, for what he believes in/ so what's the reason, when life is to short to stay dwelling on the bullshit/  (Hook) Wish I could change things now How it use to be/ Tore us down And we foolishly/ Stayed and drowned/  Just let loose of me!/

Bon Fires in December (Hook) This shit is colder than December ain't it?/ bring the game, I'll incinerate it/ and what they looking for is a Hero ain't it/ I play the villain well, ill burn it down so Ya can save it/  This shit is colder than December ain't it?/ bring the game, I'll incinerate it/ and what they looking for is a villain ain't it/ I play the Hero well, I'll put it out so ya can blame him/ (Verse 1) Witness that Raw and uncut, that realness you wishing for filled this/ empty tank which held our dreams down until this/ inspirational moment hit me, I see it so clear/ it's like it's smeared on the atmosphere/ on my northern light status, shine through the darkest night/ coldest weather, what ever i breath out flames, ignite/ the monuments and Spotless minds of those who's fatherless/ childhoods labeled colleges as last priority/ minus the scholarships/ and authority wasn't part of it/ Punking the kids in school sporting cardigans for audiences/ when parent teacher conferences was what started it/ since when do low test scores & short attention spans made you restarted?/ these are things that are suppose to better us/ their more like barriers, and in terms they hurry us/ to get up out of there we must fall in line like in god we trust/ a cash crop for uncle Sam till they Burry us/ trust... (Hook) This shit is colder than December ain't it?/ bring the game, I'll incinerate it/ and what they looking for is a Hero ain't it/ I play the villain well, ill burn it down so Ya can save it/  This shit is colder than December ain't it?/ bring the game, I'll incinerate it/ and what they looking for is a villain ain't it/ I play the Hero well, I'll put it out so ya can blame him/ (Verse 2) Still play the block like an instrument for the cream we sell our dreams/ and fall victims to routines on them screens we just feen/ we just place all our eggs in one basket, a casket/ when cats get hooked to that life style with no aspect/ of what it could be, Only focused on what it was/ and life passes on by, focused on what it does/ we, stay behind, becoming distant memories in rear views/ it's real cool, frozen in time like stills do/ we still do, wish upon stars for better days/ and hustle twice as hard hoping for better pay/ There's gotta be a better way, luck won't last for ever/ some burn out, or get put out out, some simply just get clever/ cook it up, chop it up, ladies showing off they stuff/ you got the dollars, you get the guts, others end up in hand cuffs/ some of us uppercut to break the ice and see the sun again/ ambitions to win seem naïve in this December breeze/... (Hook) This shit is colder than December ain't it?/ bring the game, I'll incinerate it/ and what they looking for is a Hero ain't it/ I play the villain well, ill burn it down so Ya can save it/  This shit is colder than December ain't it?/ bring the game, I'll incinerate it/ and what they looking for is a villain ain't it/ I play the Hero well, I'll put it out so ya can blame him/

Pardon Me Brotha (Verse 1) Let me state my case, I hale from the city of dreams/ it's ironic boy we never sleep trapped in them scenes/ I simply call it how I see it/ I don't act in ways, I be it/ man I'm 3D ready and you don't need glasses to see it/ I been broke enough to know the value of a dollar/ and I've acted stupid enough, to properly showcase a scholar/ me, on my blue collard worker shit at time it's like I ain't home enough/ to witness baby girl grow up but/ these times is ruff so most us just occupy a cup/ yeah.. You know fucking our livers up/ It's like tomorrow never came and we just dancing in the rain/ dancing through the pain only to sober up and relive it again/ again, I find my self surrendering/ to blue for school, amongst distinguished gentleman/ though.. Uncouth, never untrue my regiment/ is something special when my rhetoric prescribes the medicine/ though.. Uncouth never untrue my regiment/ is something special when my rhetoric prescribes the medicine/ damm.... (Hook) [2X] I inhale to exhale illustrations in motion/ broadcasting the dopest, To illustrate that focus/ wear it on my sleeve man these streets is furious/ you see the norths face this profile is atrocious/  (Verse 2) [16 Bars] Well I can show you the bells and the whistles! The flowers and missiles. The birds and the pistols but! I'd rather illustrate a perfect painted picture/ or a picture perfect painting perfectly blended like mixtures/ my prescription is your addiction, your conviction/ I blame myself for your condition./ but Jiminy cricket won't take his tole on me/ you can't keep me heavy hearted, I wear my heart on my sleeve/ so I, take a dose! In need of an escape/ put my headphones on blast, and press play on this tape/ then I move on, with my head to the clouds/ and bubbles around my dome like I'm thinking out loud/ though I can't escape this nightmare that I'm living now/ and what I'm dreaming now, ain't quoit how I'm feeling now/ and I can't figure out, the reason I've been bugging out/ these lights are shutting down/ think I'll be heading out/  (Hook) [2X] I inhale to exhale illustrations in motion/ broadcasting the dopest, To illustrate that focus/ wear it on my sleeve man these streets is furious/ you see the norths face this profile is atrocious/  (Verse 3) [16 Bars] So Smile for the cameras if you wild enough/ they'll make you famous baby, this life dangerous/ but then again, who wants to be a billionaire/ at any cost, like that ain't all of us? Who you kidding!?/ if money is the root of all evol, by western intellect/ and if you spell that backwards, love is its equivalent/ well something's incorrect cause some of that shit don't make cents/ how can something so evil have such a positive affect... On me?/ it's like that note when It hits on key/ and what it means when it speaks to me/ like how it go when I rock, it's like that flow you can't stop/ it's like I'm simply on top/ of the world... And I just feel I can't drop/ I can't fall, or plummet to the earth/ cause when you start at the bottom the top the only place to go/ and this something's better than nothing routine is getting old/ (Hook) [2X] I inhale to exhale illustrations in motion/ broadcasting the dopest, To illustrate that focus/ wear it on my sleeve man these streets is furious/ you see the norths face this profile is atrocious/
