If it’s going down downtown I’m ending up upstate
They’re out to get the DOE due to the damage I create
I’m standing on second base and San is at the plate
We drop it heavy like a man who ain’t managing his weight
This a manacled debate- we lock down the vocals
Town to town, we straight clown the hopeful
When the two go, y’all find y’all found the go-tos
Beef? What they got sho’ sound like tofu
I told you I bleed love and breathe fire
Eat a rapper on a plate while I’m preaching to the choir
The Michelin man, cause y’all to re-tire
Reach out and “touch your body” like Mariah
And just that fast rappers falling the fuck off
They knowing it’s butt-soft when they going inside
If they tell you that it’s wack then you know it’s a lie
Cuz my flow be tighter than a Cambodian’s eyes
Intermittently, I’m known to make a fanciful claim
other days, I’m content to simply ramble away
Maybe you could find me romancing the stone
King of the underworld on a tarantula throne
Making your man abandon the claims, in bandages maimed
Got your hearts racing like that Danica dame
Examine the name, San to the KOFA, slam them and trained
To cramming your brain with plans from Atlanta to Maine
The man’s standing on the desperate necks of those trying to catch a breath
Swinging the battle axe raps, I hack them to death
What’s happening next is the marvelous harbinger harming your harmony
Pulling your card again inhabiting the abbot and armory
Laughing heartily, hardly aware of the damage inflicted
Point blank, San is a sickness, witnesses panic and shift quick
Mechanical misfit with a death mask for the next to trespass
Seeing you lying on the table with your chest cracked
I’m laughing at these rappers that’s soggy like coffee filters
Pretending to be the man like female body builders
Inscribe your rhymes in highly detailed gaudy silver?
You been tarnished by the gosh darndest of varmints
I’m maaaad def like all that’s left
After Skillz and Rick Rubin’s label abbreviated their names
Painstakingly we’re making the claim
That if you stepping to the rep you exit like a vegetable man
It’s the specialist rendering lives desolate plains
Yes it is a pessimistic aim, chest to your brain
My testament reigns with deafening death in its veins, wretched re-
Gressive remains, step in a second you’re doused in pain
Called out the names of anyone who might try and help
But it’s a wasteland, you’re dying by yourself
We supply the fire, meltdown to the sound of supersonic screams
Psychologically impact, fracturing your dreams

Arrrrrgh! The Pirate Song
Follow the funk, a dollop of dung, call it a hunch
I never acknowledge a punk with collagen humps
So best stall on the solids…make way for the blenderized
Sipping dinner from a straw, wired jaw tender cries
Better guys than you have arrived only to disappear
Sadistic with tears, severe isn’t it near?
listen to the belligerent incinerator speak
Let doubt eat away your insides from deep
Maybe even leave town, hitch hike and eat mound
You can go west or eastbound, just leave now
I’m running through your family trees, choking chainsaws
JON?DOE and I, sometimes we have the same thoughts
Just another rapper paying bills with his day job
Going to work, fired up, another rapper’s laid off
Perfectly content, so let talk about a trade stop
Remember back when… Sons of Zadok?
From the lungs bringing freshness I have to breathe
All the way to the geezers a’tapping knees
Stinging flesh string it up, best to pass the peas
Bring the mess finger cuffed and the cast is free
Yeah, I’ll sign for a sec, with a poisonous pen
…The same way I’ll be destroying your trends
Leaving dudes nervous soon deploying depends
Left to plug merch working with Latoya and friends
And that’s zen
Ourrrrrr mission is fear, we get in your ear
Ourrrrrr vision’s to steer with witty and clear
Rrrrrr A P’s- we the men of the year
Plus we make your lady say ah ahh ahhh
Ourrrrrr plan is to rock and manage the flocks
Ourrrrrr brand’s on the top we damage with hot
Rrrrrr A P’s- get the camera shot
For when we make your lady say ah ahh ahhh
I’m just a super guy, super fresh, super fly
You acting shitty at my ditty that’s the reason that I pooped your eye
Look, you’ll never be as good as us, but you can try
Dudes deny ever claiming that they knew the why
But see the reason that they stepped was the feeding of the rep
Until they left with some lesions on their flesh
From our feet upon their chests that made em have to redirect
I’mma lead it from the West and let Sankofa do the cleanup on the rest
It’s swing batta swing until you see that we the best
Except it’s domes that’s getting flown over the fence when we connect
Like daaaamn son, yeah, you’ll be the first to see it set
Coming from the Catacombs where murder be the set
I speak in jest! It’s all in good fun
I’m DOE boy, watch me make them Boyz-n-tha hood run
Standing on the stage with a thirty foot gun
I’m so hardcore, I punch priests and push nuns
Plus I’ve got a diamond mine inside my mind
Where little children slave away until they die or find my rhymes
Exploitation- go ahead, rewind the line
Ahem- I’m a doctor miss… trust me, your hymen’s fine
I recline in socks, shirt, and a mask
I know it makes no sense, but it works for a laugh
The Silversmiths we last AND first in the class
And still we leave you twerps in the trash do the math cuz…
Ourrrrrr mission is fear, we get in your ear
Ourrrrrr vision’s to steer with witty and clear
Rrrrrr A P’s- we the men of the year
Plus we make your lady say ah ahh ahhh
Ourrrrrr plan is to rock and manage the flocks
Ourrrrrr brand’s on the top we damage with hot
Rrrrrr A P’s- get the camera shot
For when we make your lady say ah ahh ahhh

Music with Friends

I’ve got bug bites on my belly spelling out thug life
What what how and a couple of dust mites
So bust my chops by saying it’s not kosher
Come through Fort Wayne with a stopover
And a stockbroker in October cause it’s my birthday
Slop odor of raw sulfur begin to turn grey
Taking yourself a survey of the Silvermiths wordplay
And say “man I didn’t realize that they were that dope”
But, uhh, we are and the fact of the matter is we’re here to stay
You’re never going to be San, so put the beard away
Nice little pep rally, what-you got a cheer to say?
We’re digging in your ear with this here, it’s time to irrigate
We’ll tone it down just a scoatch, I know you fear the bass
We’re spearing your sneer in the weirdest of ways
Appearing from the haze with a smokestacked dope rap
…and you can quote that
Cognac, road rash, Bel Biv DeVoe tracks
Vocab, cause we’ve got to, cause we’ve got the soul clap
I never wrote a fax but you rode the sack
Your vision’s kind of blurry, better focus stat
We’re betrothed to rap in ways you can’t imagine with a can of passion
We’re taking your best lines and grammar hammer slammer bash them
So brush your teeth tonight, cause now the camera’s going to catch them
Clack clack clack BOOOM!
So what you going to do guy, crucifty?
Maybe euthanize and lose your mind?
Or maybe use your lies to employ some poison?
That you’ve got inside your mind, but now it’s toyed with
Your life story is sounding poignant, but it’s down the toilet
And your town avoids it
The think that I wish for you is to be voiceless
That’s what my choice is
Ya boys is taking you out, yeah six carry you
Horns up, foaming at the mouth like sick caribou
That’s a word I used just to get props from Stephen
Odd or even, I’m believing then when we’re on your posse’s leaving
You must acquit. Quick with the fisticuffs
Chasers left in the mist and dust, get your biscuits up
Sadistic medicinal, equipped to truck quick
…Or get a busted lip!
See I’m an F-U-C-K up A olic,
Old school tresh with a taste of brolic
Y’all step up too late to call it- forfeit
Please don’t wast the mosh pit
Whoop his ass!!!! Seems I’m a g I guess
Look at my reflection like gee I’m fresh
And it ain’t just me I impress
Got these wannabe rappers in their Fila sweats
Grippin on the jock like chickens on the pox
Crickets in a box that be itchin for the squawk
While they listenin to Pac I be shitting where they talk
It’s a gruesome bit but it’s riveting to watch
And I don’t need your props cuz I got your respect
When I grab the mic and you poppin your necks
So chiggety check the facts when you’re coming to our towns
And cut the crap like you scratchin a fart sound
These words cause abrasions
Like reversing the South cuz y’all been served by caucasians
Sorry love, the plantation got repo’d
MC’s gon’ get lit up in DOE’s bistro
From East O to Ethio, Heathrow to Ichino-
Meya, Onomatopoeia when the heat blow
And we flow… boom! y’all got the image
Here comes the lava, now your little village’s finished
And I’m not talking bout a town outta Helsinki
The Krakatoa flower, throw your mouth where my shin is
Pennies falling from the sky remind me…
Kashal-Tee where the fuck you at my friend?
Here we go again, put the pen to the paper
Entertaining and it’s Indie Pennant with the caper
Spark the Biz Mark, these men done caught the vapors
Sky scraper flavor with a taste of innovator
But for now we just killing it, like children with an insect
We in effect- been set with intellect to inject
Finna wreck the spin set, internet is in check
Got y’all online like, “where that Music With Friends at?”

We in the club mang, live it up crispy
I’m not ashamed to say I think my life’s nifty
And I got my wife with me
She’ll be lucky if I live nine years besides fifty
But for now, I’m frisky as a cat in the grass
Every chance I get I be grabbing that ass
We’re broke as dirt and our habitat’s thrashed
But we clean it up together and then after that, laugh
I work till I bleed, then be a dad to my sons
Give them what they need so they don’t dabble in guns
I watch TLC and play Scrabble for fun
And hope my words of wisdom don’t unravel in puns
And she’s a passionate one
There’s a fire in her eyes and a choir in her thighs
I stay inspired by her cries
By her side until death do us, tempes-tuous
They say “hey man, are you getting bling?”
And I’m like “hell no, I got a wedding ring”
And it means I’m married to a damn fine lady
Find who is driving mankind crazy
Maybe it’s one of those universal truths
But the way that she moves and all, never mind
Got me saying stuff that you’ll never ever hear
I met her in a club with a regimen of weird
Got done rocking a set, way before last call
Three years later, we’re it for the long haul
Mortgage payments and grown up jobs
Health insurance and I know that’s boss
Find me back at school for my teaching license
See what the birds and the bees and I did
2 strange peas in a Fort Wayne pod
And Asakusa gets the gourmet nod
Hell yes, we’ve got problems
But I also got a partner that’s here to help me solve them
A goblin on my back who be gobblin’ my sack
Six years strong and the record’s evolving
I’m happy and content, married to my kids’ mom
I’d say she’s only out for cash but the fact of the matter’s it’s gone
When you really think about it, it’s prom
Without the teenage drama of emotions getting pissed on
I watch sitcoms and they kind of makes sense
In the light of day drenched with a minor way, dense
To deny the way whence we came to be
Would be foolish, I’m just a grateful guy
And we rule this world when we choose as much
It’s all long term plans and we’re moving up
So don’t remove the crutch when sitting at the bar
Still looking for a one night, wishing on a star

Critical Levels
03:50

my responsibility is response ability
DOE be decorated like fawns in filagree
See the song is still in me and it spawned an ill MC
Who locks the flow down like ensconsed agility
Mastadon in milit'ry mode, stomp the silly C-
Ompetion that's dissin JON's soliloquies
They see the dawn and still believe they belong in Elisi-
Um like Ponce DeLeon taking on the trilogy...
Oops i meant the trinity, divinity surrounds us
From the physics of the "wow" to doldrum of the cow, just
Embrace these end days' sensations, the Sensai's
Two cents say "surprise, grasshoppers are bounders"
And boundaries exist only 'cause censors found us
Yowzuz! now i'm released where the hounds is
Run for your life, i run towns aground as
Clowns get run down when we turn the sounds up
Do you wanna hear it? Yeah! The levels are critical
Switch the Silversmith hits with ya pitiful
Radio pop vixen video umbilical
Do the damn thang, we do the damn thang
Do you wanna hear it? Yeah! The levels are critical
Straight from the basement up through the pinnacle
Take this occasion to rupture the physical
Do the damn thang, we do the damn thang
San Luis Obispo to Fort Wayne with this flow
Hand over the fist, no, San in the Mephisto
Rambling with disco, manhandling the sick prose
Rigor mortis tenon lieutenant we’re sending in a blitz though
Degenerate glitter denim menace Benedict disco
Doing this for fun, cement it with sick shows
mention the list goes Society of NIMH
And Beat This! Productions from Tiger Beat to den
Mighty with a pen extend a dependent. Why? Cause we’re sickening
Sticking Ridiculous predicament landings with a quickening
No bickering, the vicar brings the victor a cereal bowl
searing your presbyterian soul, whoa!
So here we clearly extol the list of reasons,
Indie Pennant with allegiance, and in the evening
What ever happened to the guard dogs chilling in the car lots
Taking out the hard rocks, what but they are not
This here’s the old school vibe with a new school swing
Get props from my sons cause I do cool things
Just a dude who’ll bring it to the party like alcohol
Sweat out the balls from which you fools cling
But the true jewels bling through the amplified system
Bless the breaks like sanctified schisms
Jizzm hot rhymes then I fantasize with em
Makin’ music with friends who’ll add to my wisdom
I'm not trying to complain, but my brain it burns
and truth is worth much less paid than earned
so I'm patiently waiting my turn, creatively making it
for the sake of debate, a weigh in manger may be as dangerous
daily, insane with his craft...forsaken, making it last
for the sake of debate I'm taking a state so vacant and vast
and remaining anonymous, days are snakes cause they're venomous
phrased to trade the wage of lesser men, spin in the sediment

Snow Crash
The world spins, balanced on a needle in a haystack
And history is when we play tracks from times of way back
From sticks and stones to 8-tracks, then tape stacks
Crates packed with vinyl breaks that elate cats
The bass cracks, coupled with the snares while the h-hats
Keep the timing of your life and the days tacked
Lapse to the digital drives that done replaced DATs
I empty me onto MP3 (then we free)
Unclog the jugular brain, drain the certainty
Exist immortal in a virtual eternity
Where nothing is real though it all exists
Download my life and burn my soul to disk
Feed the wi-fi demands Look mom, I’m advanced!
Loop the technologistics so the buy’s enhanced
Pirate the copywrite B-Boy cipher stance
Until the plugs get pulled and we back to the fire dance
Rush! Transform the world as you know it turns to
Dust! The blood from the digital age becomes
Rust. Me and you and them are now
Us. Drowned in the deafening roar of the hush…
Which came first? The kick or the snare?
I be spitting with ridiculous flair, splitting the hairs
And true to his name the homey tame the past
And reshapes the future with a flicker of Yeah.
Like hickory, the dickory dare, this is the pair
That be sitting with a switch in the stairs, it isn’t fair
We done came a long way, but we still ain’t there
Re-evolution of the fist in the air, listeners beware
Visitors stare sitting in digital chairs, pivoting where
Ever the latest sedative settle in malevolent
Venom is deadening nerves, nurses sever several limbs
The Predecessor is NIMH, edit it in
Let regret and chagrin, spin tales of a nemesis twin
Who impale with a pen and grin, let it begin
Limbs flail and there’s no surviving
Once the anesthesia takes over, close your eyelids
Rush! Transform the world as you know it turns to
Dust! The blood from the digital age becomes
Rust. Me and you and them are now
Us. Drowned in the deafening roar of the hush…
Somewhere there’s a memory of what was
Driving a robot to dive into the hushed rust
Trying to find a semblance of a remnant
Defying the silence swinging from a pendant
A tattered pennant flying in the dust storm ripples
Meat market markers called in, making more gristle
Sort of official orchestrators pull garrote strings
Lost kings corral courage whenever thoughts cling
Offering a daily dose, who knows? They may be close
New drones parading slow move hoax deflating hope
Nostalgia, a bastard child from the other manger
Making paper off of puppet labor, hover greater
Gruesome witness to the crucifix of neon
The noose is missing, new submissive is a phenom
And on the third day, every strike’s forgiven
Deadening eyes that glisten in this life, a prison
Rush! Transform the world as you know it turns to
Dust! The blood from the digital age becomes
Rust. Me and you and them are now
Us. Drowned in the deafening roar of the hush…

See this right here be the intro song
When you know you wanna kill it but you can’t go long
And you can’t go wrong once the Smiths arrive
We bout to take this party all the way back to ‘95
Capturing a mighty drive, happy with mic and the I
snacking on the mike and ikes, impact them with a spiteful eye
Minding my business, watching it going to the red
Just kick a couple poop the bed couplets, zooming into debt, now
It’s goes here’s the flow and here’s the beat
Get em both together like it’s so nice to meet
So nice and sweet- love at first sight
Guarantee they fucking by the end of the night
When all you’ve got on life is a tenuous grasp
Man, you got better than that, sending it back
To the ways of genuine rap, whatever the hell that might me
Couldn’t tell you myself, so now we just write these
We cooler than an ice cube shaped like Fonzie
I’m finna Stimulate you Dummies like Dante
No Scrubs, that’s word to Beyonce
Just move left to right like the song say
Your producer’s on his Grizzly, but Thabeet is wackness
So send him down to D-League cause he’s needing practice
Representing life? You’re just a reenactment
So we keep attacking rap with a fevered passion
I love the tic-toc, listen to the hip hop
Indiana back to California we collect props
We gon ride the track until the next stop
Chilling on the beach with my kids in my flip flops
Sixty six sick stops, with a bit of this cough
Unlimited by monetary thoughts, check the wrist watch
Frozen in time, so much ice that I can’t progress
But looking so cool helps abandon stress
