Ring the alarm shock you dead reverberations bounce round your head This is a change get yourself ready when he gone we gonna rock steady At the river's edge I can't make 'em drink get them tickled but not quite pink This is a change it's just a detail the devil tries because he's not afraid to fail Room 615 the sound of a shredder like a bad dream about to get better Only one things real in this universe an even keel in the direction of worse The elevator down slow as hell heaven for a clown with no soul to sell This is a change cut like a machete it's time to get going but nobody's ready This is a change everyone dance to the revolution our last chance This is change got to attend beg, borrow, steal, break but don't bend This is a change no time to stop we growing now a new kind of crop

The Most Real 02:54
lyrics
buy track
There's always a move to make another heart to break there's always a rule to bend another desire to suspend there's always a wall to tear down another fool in a crown There's always a turd to polish another hope to demolish words like concrete heroes on the tip of my tongue too heavy baby they remain unsung the heart ice-cold glued to my sleeve give give baby and you shall receive life thrown together it's all piece-meal it's your dreams baby that are the most real... There's always a chance you'll fail another plan derailed There's always a sin to commit another way to fuck up your shit there's always a Brutus in the wings Another betrayal that stings there's always a lesson to learn another book burn the truth rocks hard when it's time to sing like granite baby holding up everything dimes squeezed so tight stuck to my means line up now baby they're picking teams so many pretenders what they want they'll steal what you earn baby is the most real...

Bit By Bit By Grit By Grace 02:31

Bit by bit by grit by grace the work tattooed across my face little by little by penny by pound my efforts worth measured in sound step by step by birth by death exhale the past with every breath Bit by bit by grit by grace... Yo trouble where you at? we used to hang out half in the bag with the cat do you remember me like I remember you? you were the driver without a screw wiley like an animal shaking loose holding onto nothing but the ones and the twos sensational like a comet burning past illuminating everything but it won't last Bit by bit by grit by grace the work tattooed across my face little by little by penny by pound my efforts worth measured in sound step by step by birth by death exhale the past with every breath Bit by bit by grit by grace... Hey trouble where you been? I've been looking for a city filled with sin I keep on pounding the pavement keep on kneading the dough keep on kicking that dead horse I keep moving on moulding the clay keep on searching for that elusive source

Paul Cargnello Verse 1: Always alright always Ok call it off is what I wanted to say staring so long beyond my ego I can see it all in slow-mo and you think I got it all down even when no one else is around... Ego, Id Holden Stephan Roy verse 1: Watching life pass me by battling my (ego) Someone cried misread feelings fly (ego) Deadass this why relationships die (ego) I know better but still believe my lies (ego) This is all (ego) when it’s making cents Somewhere we lost sight of our innocence We fly so high we forget the turbulence Working so hard for flattery dividends Shem G verse 1: Odd like a look at my freudians in a row forgot my superstatus when I let me glow go I just tripped over analog android But I better find electric lady up on the radio Non crypto catalyst bring your own blue calypso Come conscious, end confusion If the crowd noise too loud they say you missed it pass the steady escalate quickly confuse shit Paul Cargnello verse 2: Always polite always so cool falling in love just like a fool staring long beyond the id I can see everything that we did and it aint shit nobody cares  Nobody listening while the radio blares Ego, Id Shem G verse 2: there we go again the chronic over thinker won't relate to skulls thicker though it all boils down to the same brain chemicals byproduct then it's seen as unethical ink blot lobotomy brain dead like Candice character acting cat-eyes with achrormatism so he had to rely on the other senses he had to listen to the call of the street bring the 'tude and the noise with more distortion Holden Stephan Roy verse 2: What you 'bout said what you really about Chase that cheddar go on and get that clout Legacy's built when the facts leave em no doubt Throats going hoarse from the pick me pick me shout Been feeling weird for a min as we phase shift I'm tryna live long and prosper I'm not playing games with it Inconsiderate in my ignorance

Paul Cargnello Verse: Daniel was the first to die edery dude in Lasalle fighting the tear in their eye The administrative team have lost their mind someone took a blade to the ties that bind Here in the garden people calling out nobody really cares about the uniforms the sirens or who's got clout Tonight every one is pretending everyone is confused everyone is guarded because everyone one is bruised and the truth is clouded Like a bad dream an engine running hard but soon running out of steam they got a lean on you what do you mean? Watch them all come rushing out watch them all holler watch them all whistle watch them all lie to you to themselves about how they don't cry... typical boys Waahli Verse: Tet mwen fin komplex tan kou se makrame/ Gade chak fwa  m'vanse, yo dim pou'm rekulé E pa mande'm pou ki sa jodi m'neve M'tombé, m'leve, m'bouke enko Kounya m'tombe rele Se pa seulmen le ouap domi ou ka reve Nou pap suspan, nap goumen fo violans lan rete Son ban hypokite Nou vit, nou smat, tan kou kabrit e poun kanpe nap jwen on reussit Se ak bel pawol yo fen'n bliye yap met ven nan tet nou Nou vin chache tout sa yo vole An met tet nou ansemd, pa ka ret tan Toussaint se yo legend, a swa yap pran gagann Socalled Verse: Used Rap GPT to generate these rhymes Just a typical verse for these a-typical times Just a typical pre-millenial dude Oxycodone and fentanyl mixed into the health food We're screwed All we can do is stay high Say hi! This verse is totally AI I'm sick of these screens, need someone real to hold me Couldn't tell if I liked it 'till the algorhythm told me That's the old me, analog and off kilter, A middle-aged life through a new-aged filter

Paul Cargnello Verse 1: The biggest 'fuck you' happened in 1993 he left with everything except the house key cell phones weren't so common yet you either rebelled or were the teachers pet being alone was for real death was free the rest he would steal you could ask anybody walking down the street how the other half fairs but everybody would say 'nobody cares' Remy x Pica$$o Verse 1: The newest form of control Social media Fabricate a story Than put it on Wikipedia Uncomfortable in your own skin  Your your worst enemy  pretending to be something no pride in your own identity What happened to the good ol days? Cook outs on the block children  playin outside  but now they on the blogs talkin drillin, who a bitch who the hardest  out who a snitch,who did what when y’all was never down The lies more entertaining  than the truth The news just misinforming  using your fear as a tool Paul Cargnello Verse 3: Saint Andrew is hoisted up paint the stars on custom blue the word is bond the blood deep red a blended sort of hue when you asked me 'who's that at the top of the stairs?' I said 'I could tell you but nobody really cares'

J'espère te voir mourir Comme tu laisse mourir ma joie J'espère te voir souffrir Anéantir les sourires bourgeois Tes comme un junkie sur le crack Tu parles de croissance comme un dogme Tu règles tes comptes à coups d'matraques Tu cache tes mensonges dans le smog Je n'ai plus la patience Je n'ai plus la candeur Il me reste la défiance Comme seul baume sur mon cœur Je n'ai plus la confiance Dans tes apôtres fidèles J'ai des rêves de potences Pour tout tes arcs-en-ciel J'espère te voir courir Devant des hordes de Gavroches J'espère te voir pourrir Comme un poisson sur la roche T'es comme un prophète sans messie Toujours en quête d'un signe divin Tu parles de sacrifices et de profits Comme de l'ostie et du vin J'espère te voir périr Dans ton cocktail d'herbicides J'espère t'entendre gémir Comme un enfant devant un frigo vide J'espère avoir le temps de voir ceux qui vivent de tes miettes Marché contre le vent et craquer l'allumette Je n'ai plus d'énergie Pour ta mascarade idiote Il me vient des envies D'Autodafé de bulletins de vote Je n'ai plus d'amitié Pour les collabos heureux Qui parlent d'humanité Comme d'un slogan vertueux

You can try all you want, but they won't let you inside and your gonna topple that tower cuz' outside your stuck to the wall, like a fly or a flower Sam Faye Verse 1: Yeah j'ai cogné à la porte J'ai même envoyé du courrier par la poste On m’a répondu tout est fermé Après j’me suis préparé pour entrer par la force Tout change rapidement j’m’en suis rendu compte Yeah mon père m'a dit r’lèves toi quand tu tombes Les valeurs les principes le respect d’la famille Ça vaut beaucoup plus que tout l’or du monde Aujourd'hui y’a rien d’facile faut qu’on soit versatile Ont veut qu’nos rêves s’affirment ont veut pas faire la file Quand on avance c'qu'on veut c'est prendre d’la grosse vitesse Les gens s’dépassent en oubliant la politesse Quand ont veut briser les lois qui sont trop rigides On nous divise en effaçant nos origines You can try all you want, but they won't let you inside and your gonna topple that tower cuz' outside your stuck to the wall, like a fly or a flower Sam Faye Verse 2: J'fais ça pour le love comme les bénévoles Avec le son yeah j'me téléporte J’analyse les codes et les méthodes Eh yo j'vois loin comme les télescopes J'suis dans mon rôle à la Billy Bob Non jai pas l' temps pour du minigolf J’réfléchis depuis la p’tite école Aujourd'hui y'a plus rien qui m’étonne Évolution nouvelle générations les gouvernements développent des prototypes Ya beaucoup trop de pollution J'écoute pas les médias qui nous disent que c’est pas nocif J’marche en parallèle avec les gens qui travaillent et ceux qui dirige les monopoles Ont est placé dans la marge Ça c'est parcequ’on veut pas faire comme les moutons qui suivent les protocoles

Nom De Plume (Feat. Horg, Stella Adjokê) 02:48

Paul Cargnello Chorus: Je suis ton derniere chance, Je suis comme l'adolescence perpétuel, dans un univers parallèle. Read about it when I'm in my tomb but good luck guessing mon nom de plume DJ Horg verse: yeah , mon nom de plume c’est Horg . Rien de moins, rien de plus , parce qu' en fait c’est Hard! Je voulais un nom , qui sonne  comme New-York,,, fait que  finalement j’en ai un qui sonne plus  comme  Bjork. Jamais dénué de sens , c’est pas un enfantillage ca reflète mes origines aux racines Scandinave Un nom d’batard  , jugé anormal Inspiré de dun anti hero prénommé Thorgal Yeah …je veux que mon nom du plume ,  soit connue jusqu’en en fucking Amérique du sud Hen! ,,, une fois n’est pas coutume ,  maintenant j’va pu me contenter d’un nom en minuscule Quand notre alter-ego se nourrit de notre âme Se transforme en super héro ,  qui sourit à notre art Sonorité douteuse , que jai toujours dû défendre éternel recommencement  le phénix renaît de ses cendres Stella Adjokê verse: On fait des chansons, qui chante? On chante des chansons qui soigne? je pense donc je suis  Entre nos plumes on sait guérir  des tumultes les traumas ne sont pas perpétuels  Si la guerre explose sans cesse On s’apaise comme on peut  On guérit comme on peut  Du quand on veux on peut Au cœur existe le feu  La vie Qui crépite doucement  Au son de la musique  Le temps de regarder le souffle qui continue   de t’abandonner De plume ferme au nom du cœur  Au creux de tes main  Être gardien gardienne du feu  D’une vie du nom de son poids lourd  Pour arriver à supporter son poids plume De tes muscles solaires deviens la lune  Couverte de plumes au soleil  C’est chouette le regard 360 Dans les mondes parallèles  Je m’envole sur terre de nos gestes millénaires Mon astre est consciemment habité entre tous les tempo Inside out les plumes à la poussière d’étoile  On est là pour migrer et faire briller  Nos noms de plumes vont sonner  Pour faire couler le miel dans ta gorge déployée  Les gens oserons danser sur le son de leur réalité  Nous serons plumes vibrantes  En pleine conscience de nos travers  Vibrance Harmonisée

Buried Ships 02:54

It was a San Fransisco night after a Montreal day stepping over buried ships under the bay Scene after scene everything dies and you will too black crows out on the lawn they'll murder it for you lie after lie everyone sinks below what's true There are tips then there's tipped over tripping over wires in a wireless world running like a devil chasing his deception while the flags unfurled Won't you come here? wrap my heart pour me out and watch you drink tonight we're swimming in the whites of my eyes throw me in the deep end and watch me sink your red curtains descend tonight ask me if it's over well let me think deep dive into the blue drowning in the depth of the stars everybody on the slide slipping down the slope well I live within these bars It was a San Fransisco night after a Montreal day stepping over buried ships under the bay Time after time we're reminded life's not fair the electricity is out from the Tenderloin to outter Richmond the trees don't care there's a smell of an opium den from I don't know where there's breaks then there's breaking apart unbound to a beatin' heart Halloween season caws like a crow fall flapping just like a flag jet's humming killer willies drinking up a stag the distance the closeness the graffiti at my back living between the raindrops you know I got the knack the land of opportunity where nobody gets paid America the beautiful but afraid

Saint Boredom, sing it for me They like a dime a dozen the unintended sing it now yeah they all upended they walk a mile in borrowed shoes instead of just listening look now they got fascist tattoos old live's all up their legs cut them at the knees you think I'm joking? cut them down like trees... Saint Boredom, sing it for me Now I hate to tell you you're being lied to by your money and by your friends in the neighbourhood of mistruths all the street are just dead-ends the underdog's got a shadowy heart the last time you heard that song the lyrics sounded smart Saint Boredom gave you their hand to keep the last time you read that poem the words sounded deep... Saint Boredom, sing it for me

In The Beginning 02:40
lyrics
buy track
In the beginning just like the end an enemy aint nothing but a bloodlusty friend in the beginning cowboys sang sad songs, about wiki-leaks picking at existence with their pointy beaks last week they all tipped their dusty hats to the chief and prayed each night to a god for relief just yesterday a statue was vandalized the birth of some nation scrutinized... In the beginning just like the end an enemy aint nothing but a bloodlusty friend And last night I heard it the record skipped the back-end of the black hole got a little ripped tomorrow crack smoke wafts school halls the 1% fragile as porcelain dolls in the end the stock market rose and fell, capitalized the pride of some nation scandalized In the beginning just like the end... an enemy aint nothing but a bloodlusty friend
