How to prove
What can't be seen or heard
Is this too deep
Do I need to reword
My esoteric mind
Is something not preferred
Keep it simple
And nothing too absurd
I feel as if my own thoughts
Have let me down
Hoping for my former self
To come around
want cookie cutter
With no meaning found
But this verbiage
Is how I'm renown
Keep thinking
One day it'll come
From the dirt
To a wealthy income
came from nothing
To counting breadcrumbs
On the path
Made it back from the slum
In a tough world
With a violence fetish
Suffer even more
They love to relish
No heaven here
With weather so hellish
What's on the screen
They love to embellish
(Lost in shadows
Of the abstract
Got out alive
With my mind intact
Can't change fate
With something not seen
Know this to be true
A life obscene) x2
Lost in shadows
Of the abstract
body of work
That incites raw emotion
colors and shapes
Mixed in the potion
Texture is key
Like skin to lotion
Forms a barrier
Blocking commotion
To the mind
A strong selling point
That feeling you get
When you roll up a joint
A tingle in your brain
Never disappoints
Creative thoughts spark
Just my viewpoint
What's your worth
Better you know your value
Don’t let them take advantage
Of what you can do
Everyone out to find
Something brand new
And water it down
So they can pay you
Just the way it goes
A trend or a movement
Buy all you want
Just to their amusement
Do what you want
You're just a student
Skipping school
On the go and truant
(Lost in shadows
Of the abstract
Got out alive
With my mind intact
Can't change fate
With something not seen
Know this to be true
A life obscene) x2
Lost in shadows
Of the abstract
(Lost in shadows

Got out alive
With my mind intact
Can't change fate

Take it all back
Push it to zero
Back to the start
The antihero
Plays his symphony
Ever so slow
Hooks with melody
And clever flows
Cooks up rhymes
With an artful batch
lyrical content
And turntable scratch
No one on his level
They're all a mismatch
Killing all opponents
He will dispatch
The fakes and the frauds
Yeah fuckin right
Ghost all you hoes
Running in the night
wings will grow
As I take flight
Don't wear red
This is a bullfight
El matador
Swings his red cape
Avoiding danger
His balls take shape
Bred for disaster
Got by with a scrape
Now he plays his encore
As the curtain drapes
(Here's a toast
To new beginnings
Friends and relationships
Are missing
Time spent all alone
Isn't it fitting
You were never there
With fucks I'm not giving) x2
Come follow me
As I take you to bed
a faint memory
Like the voices in my head
Roam the earth
With the scared and undead
Bloodthirsty fiends
Leading the misled
Closed for business
Open for after hours
Lay with me
In a bed of flowers
As the scent of a rose
Overpowers
Love lost in gunfire
to traitors and cowards
Get down on your knees
Vile sexism
How to react
Only seen in this prism
Try not to offend
In their system
Disrupt their beliefs
With wicked wisdom
Break through the glass
Of fear and self-doubt
Inspire with the mind
And gain worthy clout
Or stay where you are
With another blackout
Running circles
day in and day out
(Here's a toast
To new beginnings
Friends and relationships
Are missing
Time spent all alone
Isn't it fitting
You were never there
With fucks I'm not giving) x3

The wsop is where opie
Made his claim
To that golden bracelet
Of the poker game
In the main event
Threw the chips on the table
And said all in
This wasn’t a fable
His poker face
Was sharper than ever
This was his dream
To chase that cheddar
Staring face to face
With his opponent
Knew he couldn't lose
This was his moment
Time to show their hands
Had to beat a full house
Opie sat there frozen
Was quiet as a mouse
Then jumped up with joy
As he had a better hand
It was time to party
At the MGM grand
He stood up and yelled
"fuck the gold rush!"
He beat his opponent
With a straight flush
To party with you
And party with the famous
This was just the start
Of our one night in Vegas
Here's the story
About how we won it all
Against all odds
And betting it all
High rollers at the table
Will you cross the line
I see it in your eyes
They reflect in mine
Will you dare
To be over the top
You could lose it all
With just one flop
This is our journey
Driving in a blue van
Going on tour
Throughout the desert land
Hot hands at craps
Our luck seemed endless
So I went to play roulette
Hoped to win senseless
Trust me
27 red is my number
Watch me win it all
To satisfy my hunger
One black chip
Thrown on the two seven
Looks good in red
So loud it'll deafen
Met a girl at the table
Threw me lady luck
love at first sight
When that little ball struck
27 so hard
Holy shit I won
The magic of love
36 to 1
Laughing at the pain
Those were my chances
To meet this girl
Under the circumstances
Get to the stage
Her love is infinite
Ran to the room
Where we got intimate
Something was special
Like an old time relic
road to downtown
And got married by Elvis
(Here's the story
