Till I Drop

They say my sound is New York they think thats where i'm from
I come from Santa Fe, New Mexico son
Some one said i'll be making the bread like a baker
If i kick my rhymes with that flavor
So i mastered my style and represented it wild
Let me show you how its done when your young
I study the culture and i speak with my hands
I bump the teacha on the speakers KRS is the man
Fuck around i'll leave you right where you stand
I'm always ready to die with the mic in my hand
Throw my ashes in the mecca where the physical belongs
Because my spirit always living through my songs
You can picture me rolling in my 95 Cherokee
While Driving through the desert smoking trees
Im Kicking free's in the breeze cause everyday is a tease
I rap with ease and when i do i seem to float like the leaves
My rhymes are the hip and my beats are the hop
I teach what i speak and repeat what i got
I'm unique with the heat of the stove when its hot
And defeats any obstacles till' i drop
Respect your life and watch your thoughts blossom
Observe as they grow like a lost possum
-Thats why Im never stopping as long as I'm breathing
Rocking microphones in the day or the evening
I'm Always receiving the respect like check
Staying humble in a rumble never crumble or compress
- i'm strategic like a chess game
So make your move as i cruise on the left lane
My terrain is formed by all thoughts in my brain
I stop to take a breath while exhaling the stress
All these lessons and tests have me feeling real vexed
I respect the roots while in cahoots with the vets
Im On the hunt smoking blunts filled with Buddha
I Never had to smoke a chump to make the gouda
So If i suit up dont think that i ain't gonna protect myself because I'm not a saint
My rhymes are the hip and my beats are the hop
I teach what i speak and repeat what i got
I'm unique with the heat of the stove when its hot
And defeats any obstacles till' i drop
Im out of the park like a fly ball
And off the high wall throwing up my name then my guy called
He told me life is rougher than grip tape
To escape from the struggles you gotta create
Fuck the glory and fame I'm just trying to maintain
I thrive in the rain and i like when it pours
The pain will remain but the love is absolutely forever and its truly yours
I leave my soul on the stage an my mind on a page
My heart is too big for anyone to cage
My rage transforms into art from the start and if it didn't it would tear me apart
As i drink a brew I'm thinking of you and all the changes to come
The music spun on the 1's and 2's
Keeps me captivated an my brain activated
all you cats who hated i really appreciate it, cause
My rhymes are the hip and my beats are the hop
I teach what i speak and repeat what i got
I'm unique with the heat of the stove when its hot
And defeats any obstacles till' i drop

Stay With The Rhythm
03:17
|

Give me a break give me a beat give me flow
Cause I can roll with the baseline and rhyme like a pro
The funk gets me drunk when its bumping out the trunk
all of the vibes are provided by Anthonius Monk
Thats my name I'm not about the money and fame
Im all about elements an lyrical intelligence
Hence the vocabulary i present
To make your body move is my only intent
Represent your city and your state like its apart of you
It ain't hard to do if you choose to learn the art of groove
Cruise with notes as they float on by
All the effects feel like sex and it keeps me high
Dont even try too keep up with me son
I'll rock the mic any date on the calendar or season
I ain't trying to play it safe no more
Instead i look ahead rest in peace to the dead
How does the ill mc improve his skill
As He's working everyday just to pay his bills
The rhymes that he lays are mapped out like a maze
Always stay with the rhythm cause the beat fades
Stay with the rhythm don't play with the rhythm
Dont play homie you know this flow ain't a game
I do this for real and I'm still taking aim
The crosshairs are planted right on my dome
Any day could be my last in the kill zone
You pop a round they'll pop a round someone's gon drop to the ground
Im rocking crowds they poppin pistols turning gun smoke to clouds
The rhythm of my heart keeps my adrenaline pumping
The sound is induced to keep your body jumping
Check it out let me show you what I'm about
Im changing up the route like a trout in a drought
Im so hungry for success that i have tunnel vision
All my musics mathematics like long division
From a prince to a king rolling with the queens
Its all a dream working hard for the c.r.e.a.m
Poetry's my passion an graffiti's a credential
cause it essential like a funky instrumental
How does the ill mc improve his skill
As He's working everyday just to pay his bills
The rhymes that he lays are mapped out like a maze
Alway Stay with the rhythm cause the beat fades
Stay with the rhythm don't play with the rhythm

Yo, bring em in bring em out
Im lingering like doubt
Watch me shout while you pout
Im lay rhymes like grout
I'm the type to get you hyped
When i jump up on the mic
I do it right and i like to do it every night
Yo my brain is sick I'm addicted drum breaks and samples and got flair like rick
When i touch the wax its like listening to ancient artifacts
You know that i'm mad to the max
i'm a wolf without a pack straight off the back so react
I'll bust a cap in your ass with all these words that i blast
If you didn't hear then go play it again while i demonstrate this skill to all of my friends
Immma blend with my environment like a chameleon
My plan is to stand on this earth an make a million songs
Im feeling so appealing I'm gone
Maybe i'll be back and act like Venus fly trap
My beat slaps from you brain to your knee caps
And once it hits your toes it'll hit your lungs like some beeswax
Wake up, bake up don't take too much time cause my rhymes don't break up
bring em in bring em out
Im lingering like doubt
Watch me shout while you pout
Im lay rhymes like grouut
I'm the type to get you hyped
When i jump up on the mic
I do it right and i like to do it every night
I got soul, jazz and a lot of funk like Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk
Im the microphone creature my names are back to back like double feature
Im always in the lab like a beaker
Speakers bust when my lyrics adjust
From the rhythm that i give em cause i know its must
I get down on the ground earths mantle and crust
It Ain't enough to hold back the raps i flush
The rush from the current made me feel like a deterrent
Im stirring up a storm in the morn when a doobies burning
Im Always learning how to advance my family calls me antz
My rhymes will get you stuck in a trance
Listen at your own risk i twist syllables like fish
I swish like a 3 point assist
So if your with, smoke a spliff, quit doing nothing throw your fist in the air like this
bring em in bring em out
Im lingering like doubt
Watch me shout while you pout
Im lay rhymes like grout
I'm the type to get you hyped
When i jump up on the mic
I do it right and i like to do it every night
Watch me calibrate your mind as you salivate
You need to elevate your spine through gravity's weight
This ain't no double date i just want to reinstate
Lets set it straight like a metal plate
At this rate because fate's like a fickle fiend
I got a nickel and dream if a dollar makes her holler
Then i'll make her scream
Thats hows it goes when you got hot flows
Im straight off the sidewalk like hop scotch pros
Beats, rhymes, and samples is all i really know
We start to trample at every single show
This verse is example if not enough
Lets see how you feel after i rugged and rough
I'll break all trust with plenty water and rust
Your skull will combust in flames then turn to dust
Its a must that i tell you how its done
But a magician doesn't reveal it defeats the fun, so
bring em in bring em out
Im lingering like doubt
Watch me shout while you pout
Im lay rhymes like grout
I'm the type to get you hyped
When i jump up on the mic
I do it right and i like to do it every night

Gutter Butter
04:27
|

Yo i got this Time on my hands
And all these rhymes to expand
Look deep inside my mind if your trying to understand
Im banned from wonderland
For being madder than the hatter
All the chatter is cake batter
Slather on it fatter
Gather all samples dont forget Aretha Franklin
Young gifted and black will have your neck an back breaking
Like Impeach the president by The Honey Dripper's
Mc's nowadays are softer than bunny slippers
I kick so many mixtures they wont fit in any pictures
These are all my scriptures recorded right through my mixer
Im the barrier of sound the carrier of crowns
Tearing up your lounges, cities and towns
Im gritty like the gutter butter surfing the earth
Have no pity for my stutter flutter cursing the turf
I've purchased my birth so now i'll spend my time wisely
cause once I'm dead you cant revive me, if you
Look inside my mind you'll find
Where bodies are buried first look past the hotties and dimes
I want proper propositions with lyrical compositions
Im a musical physician completing every mission
Listen to the style an the culture i bring
Knocking out all the vultures like Ali in the ring
I'll use a sling like king david vs. goliath
Im an underdog quiet till i grab the mic an apply it
To pry it from my grip the vinyl record has to skip
Trip on this beat like some acid that you slipped
Watch me flip my psyche my snares kick like Nike
As i prepare for war the moon and the stars will light me
I might be the resurrector of this whole style
I'll have all the real hip hop heads go wild
And that ain't an no opinion yo cause its a fact
Im flippin tracks like the hulk i spit in bulk when I'm kickin' back
There ain't no time for all the this an that
Thats why I sit and rap and attack like a lyrical aristocrat
Look inside my mind you'll find
Where bodies are buried first look past the hotties and dimes
If we swing like a king from the pendulums dust
I will bring you a dream while descending through rust
Plus i'll combust through illustrious lust
Cause Its a must that i deliver the trust
And Im sharper than an arrow in a quiver
So consider i crush, beat breaks, while watching all these snare drums shake
I make the earthquake with my lyrical groove
Bust a move like you dont have the right to choose
Let me prove that all my maneuvers are deadly
As cruising with Freddy and blowing up just like big betty
So Steady, your breath, heart and your mind
These words will curve up your spine
Until they make you feel blind
Im trying, to get my point across to you
And a lot like Sir Nicholas i'll move through you
I stack wax in my backpacks and in milk crates
This is my fate theres no escape from my final end date, so
Look inside my mind you'll find
Where bodies are buried first look past the hotties and dimes

Microphone Creature
03:31

Rush through combust the dust just us two
I pay dues, I slay crews from Santa Fe to Beirut
No matter the style i'm badder and wild
Gathering all my data from a satellite dial
Wisdom is power like awareness is key
I break the lock to my mind like Doctor Spock does for free
Pop a swquat as i drop a lot of rhymes on the camelot
cause i jam a lot rocking hip hop till speakers pop
I was Born in the era of the boom bap
east coast rhythm, nike airs and yankee caps
Im sharper than a battle axe
And Full water like a camels back
You thought you could but you cant handle that
I'm hot as candle wax when I'm heated by flame
Me and hip hop are one in the same
Just Like siamese twins with different names
Im living with change but all i aim for is the dollars, so i say
Peace to the culture
Peace to the masters
Peace to the suns and earth before an after
Peace to the wisdom
Peace to the teacher
Peace Kings and Queens I'm a microphone creature! i say,
Peace to the culture
Peace to the masters
Peace to the suns and earth before an after
Peace to the wisdom
Peace to the teacher
Peace Kings and Queens I'm a microphone creature!
This is a feature presentation of lyrical levitation that is lifting you up
Its spilling your cup from the way your moving your butt
Watch me erupt like volcanoes while Im smoking the dutch
You'll be be dancing so much tomorrow you will need crutch
You'll be stuck like a Clutch when your steep on a hill
As i Fulfill my aspirations that'll slap your face in
the sensation alone will break procrastination
I pass information like a quarterback formation
With my eye on the prize and the other on temptation
I live in moment cause one day that will be taken
Inspiration flows like waterfalls in Jamaican
Jungles, sittin right under the sun
Imagine if i ruled world mr. son of a gun
Running with my all of my poems till i show them that the work is done
Living Above the clouds even though i've barely just begun, so
Peace to the culture
Peace to the masters
Peace to the suns and earth before an after
Peace to the wisdom
Peace to the teacher
Peace Kings and Queens I'm a microphone creature! i say,
Peace to the culture
Peace to the masters
Peace to the suns and earth before an after
Peace to the wisdom
Peace to the teacher
Peace Kings and Queens I'm a microphone creature!
Believe what you see and nothing you hear
Im disrupting your fear
So clean the dust out your ear
I appear like i'm cluttered but my mind is clear
Im, slicker than butter this time of year
Going against the grain like a runaway train
Im spicy not plain in this lucrative game
I reach to obtain the respect on my name
With Correct intellect till my paths connect
I project all my skills in full affect
I collect real knowledge like pool of debts
Ridicule and threats is all we seem to get
In between gettin c.r.e.a.m i redeem my bets
I'm all in and i feel better than ever
whatever the weather
Im clever whenever the beat drops
I be bop and do wap until the beat stops
The microphone pops as i chop it up, then i say
Peace to the culture
Peace to the masters
Peace to the suns and earth before an after
Peace to the wisdom
Peace to the teacher
Peace Kings and Queens I'm a microphone creature! i say,
Peace to the culture
Peace to the masters
Peace to the suns and earth before an after
Peace to the wisdom
Peace to the teacher
Peace Kings and Queens I'm a microphone creature!

Yo, My minds out of control just like a hurricane
Envy is like flames sparking up inside the wind and rain
I wrestle with my emotions like I'm a Luchador
With more precision than a war between a matador
And a bull stay alive is the rule
Now the streets are the schools
And hospitals are the homes
Microphones and chrome a have me stuck in the zone
All i want is success and i cant leave it alone
I feel the envy following me like a shadow
Creeping on come up just to run up on me at a battle
Hip hop isn't dead its living in the rough
Through the tough times, crimes, and all fists in cuffs
Trust gets broken like ribs and such
So i got dibs on the lids and stuff
Thats enough! Why are you pissed that I'm not giving up
Watch me deduct your negativity thats envious
I've seen people clench envy like mc's do mic's
I'm searching for the love in a world full of spite
Greed has disintegrated the drive to unite
I feed off of intellect and the will to fight
A queen with the force as deadly as mother nature
While you feed the source of hatred an anger
I nourish the mind of those designed to live blind
And find the right time to drop jewels like a beautiful rhyme
My chakras are aligned and my third eye is open
Knowledge is self and peace is the perfect potion
To fight the power like Dr king put his dream in motion
Defeat the envy or the enemy within or cease to grow
Expand and elevate the mind to a new plateau
Or let your body rot and your brain die slow
Choose wisely before you hit the end of the road
Let me fill your brain a with knowledge like a glass of water
Drink up my wisdom then pass it to sons and daughters
Envy is in everything that is living till this day
It could eat you alive like the natural decay
You can say that you dont feel this in any way
But deep down inside it pushed me to display
Who i really am through poetry that i slam
Now I use my emotions as a fuel to expand
I sat in the sand to meditate cause i know
That all the stresses in my mind gotta go
So when i flow i release my inner beast
Till the day that i decease and find inner peace
The Envy is my bitch and i can tell you that
Its a muse for the creativity under my skull cap
Don't let your brain get infected with lust
Or You'll get Stuck living life so envious

Cannabis and Whiskey
03:02

Watch me fly though the sky with some cannabis and whiskey
So unanimous the fantasy is always sticking with me
Yo I can manage my advantage very quickly
Cause I'm Spanish and i vanish when I'm tipsy
Watch me fly though the sky with some cannabis and whiskey
So unanimous the fantasy is always sticking with me
Yo I can manage my advantage very quickly
As i vanish because I'm on the cannabis and whiskey
This feeling lifts me and keeps me in the clouds
Like gypsy smoking blue dream light a twisty
Pour a shot of the crown till I'm sixty
You know im Going down in history because its risky
So Fix me another beat make it crispy
I wish we could of got along but you dissed me
Now i'm showing the crowds what i'm about
Without a ball and chain that was calling me out
I'm living in the future with a mic and my Maschine
While I was Breaking necks with rhythm and rhyme schemes
Everything is what it seems and more
As i dream of being on tour
Spilling lyrics galore
Howw much can i endure
When enough is enough
I'm in love with this stuff
The bud always keeps me tough
My imagination soars with the wind
Floating through time like this message i send
Watch me fly though the sky with some cannabis and whiskey
So unanimous the fantasy is always sticking with me
Yo I can manage my advantage very quickly
Cause I'm Spanish and i vanish when I'm tipsy
Watch me fly though the sky with some cannabis and whiskey
So unanimous the fantasy is always sticking with me
Yo I can manage my advantage very quickly
As i vanish because I'm on the cannabis and whiskey
Another day spent like money for rent
As I invent my intentions all the choices get bent
I resent all my actions that are cut down like fractions
Chemical reactions in my brain is what happens
Sipping on my passion like whiskey in a flask
The smoke from my joint keeps forging me a mask
At last i can begin what i am meant to do
Because i'm born to form like wet cement will do
Im stuck in the groove of the record that moves
The needle is so evil to the motionless people
We are all equal and together were unbeatable
Trying to make some cheddar from these letters that are treatable
Im A bud smoking jack drinking mc
Twisted from the combination plus it sends me
spinning like the earths rotation
Gravity's pull is my fuel for innovation
Watch me fly though the sky with some cannabis and whiskey
So unanimous the fantasy is always sticking with me
Yo I can manage my advantage very quickly
Cause I'm Spanish and i vanish when I'm tipsy
Watch me fly though the sky with some cannabis and whiskey
So unanimous the fantasy is always sticking with me
Yo I can manage my advantage very quickly
As i vanish because I'm on the cannabis and whiskey

Change
03:44
|

Im wanna change the world
And make this life a better place
My only space that i can transform
Is worn out like a brace
Read my face like an article
Through brainwave particles
Amazed by the page cause my age always startles fools
The rules are invitations to break
My inspiration inflates with every breath that i take
I embrace my hunger like it's an old friend
As i Catch up with the times until the song ends
I pretend that i avenge all my ancestors greatly
Through this music dont confuse it or abuse it so hastily
Cause This life isn't make believe its the only thing thats real and it ain't for free
I've got my plans and premonitions
No stops or intermissions
Many visions of my future
Stitched together like a Suture
Wounds become uscars like gas becomes stars
You need to understand that the world is ours
Live to Die
But die to live
If you wanna give a try
touch the sky kid
Change is natural as the weather
So If you go through any change make it for the better
I see people come and go like strangers at my show
I get close to a soul then watch it vanish like the snow
What do you know and how did learn it
Did you work for it every single day did you earn it?
I'm changing by the minute an evolving by the hour
All My thoughts blossom like a sunflower
The earth helps me grow the knowledge is my water
The sun gives me power the moon is in my father
I am him an he is me
i got strength from my mother and she's a queen bee
What do you expect to achieve and receive
As I breathe i relieve what i conceive with ease
The world is mine for the taking
so watch me grab it like it own cause I've been patiently waiting
My mind is on the prize cause the prize is mind
Im defined by my actions not my rhymes
Live to Die
But die to live
If you wanna give a try
touch the sky kid
Change is natural as the weather
So If you go through any change make it for the better
Ive seen constellations of my own reflection
And People killed over material possessions
In this life you can change you if you let it
She said i Always forgive but i do never forget it
I kept it on my mind and realized it was the truth
I stopped looking back and kept my eyes on the booth
My motivation fluctuates every second
Like the planets as they orbit the sun in one direction
My perception keeps me moving and alive
Survival of the fit only the strong will rise
Lies will eventually catch up to you
Like age and doing drugs till your face is blue
Life goes on just like your favorite song
When you put it on repeat it's like reality's gone
I wouldn't change a thing about the way i've existed
Cause i learned from my mistakes and I always persisted
Live to Die
But die to live
If you wanna give a try
touch the sky kid
Change is natural as the weather
So If you go through any change make it for the better

This Is Hip Hop
03:35

Where am i at an where will i escape
behind the yellow tape
The worlds form takes shape
My state of mind is like 1989 new york rhymes
Mixed with struggle and crimes
I reside in the desert where mountains look like castles
Sometimes this life is a fight and a hassle
Discover who you are through trials and tribulations
Distinctive conversations
And Dangerous situations
Knowledge reigns supreme over any limitations
Have patience cause practice pays like reparations
I live through my creations even after my death
So Watch me capture my breath
As i go master these steps
Im the next to project my repertoire correct
Then i'll invest in a whole reservoir of cess
Grow it from the root and watch the leaves salute
Like the notorious b.i.g. would do
This is Hip hop in its purest form
It was Born in the swarm of New York's arms
The bronx was burning the concrete crumbled
A rose grew as the beats rumbled
Break through obstacles that face you
Like wrecking balls do to walls so efficient
My ambition cant be learned or explained Like a phenomenon
So i regain my fame just like the comic con
I remain in the mountains carving snow like a yeti
SnowFlakes fall like confetti
The hop keeps me warm but the hip keeps me ready
I'm not doin harm cause my mind is steady
Im betting on my future cause the past was lucky
Most mc's today are toys like rubber ducky's
My instrumentals can rattle your skeleton
So elegant like an elephant i spit intelligent
Never irrelevant i invent like the 3rd president
My intent to kill microphones on the daily
Is sailing along with tides i ride
Im bonafide like Clyde
This is Hip hop in its purest form
It was Born in the swarm of New York's arms
The bronx was burning and the concrete crumbled
A rose grew as the beats rumbled
I watch the words as they jump off my page
Like a mage I engage cutting rhymes like fades
Talking to Renegades drinking minute maid lemonade
On the interstate late for a dinner date
I debate but i never underestimate
I dominate on breaks smoking joints as they resonate
A N T H O N I U S M O N K what i am is
A creature drawn to the microphone
You know the speakers on whenever i am home
Im Always shaking the walls with the music i'm bumping
Dumping out my lyrics always getting into something
Wether its a woman or a warm hot dumpling
Im Jumping around like house of pain is in town
The sound from the mecca is from another sector
So i'm the resurrector and the lyrical protector
This is Hip hop in its purest form
It was Born in the swarm of New York's arms
The bronx was burning and the concrete crumbled
A rose grew as the beats rumbled

Don't Stop

Don't Stop, and You Won't Stop
Don't Stop, and You Won't Stop
What can i say I'm not gonna stop
Im gonna rock the microphone till my brain goes pop
Im digging in the crates and I'm staying up late
Trying Formulate my fate an eat the food off my plate
I'm working everyday to pay for studio time
My mood is sublime so watch me construct a rhyme
The rhythm is precision like eagle's vision
I cut my samples like incisions and ceremonial ribbons
Never pity the dead feel only sad for the living
no matter what happens in life the world keeps spinning
So watch the sky like a movie cause the stars look like Ruby's
Im always smoking doobies on my roof feeling groovy
I'm, hard to follow like the truth is hard to swallow
So, Live your life like there was no tomorrow
We cant predict the future but i create present
Im a king not a peasant like a hawk to pheasant cause i,
Don't Stop, and You Won't Stop
Don't Stop, and You Won't Stop
I wanna prevail so I'm gonna follow my dreams
And show you all my flows that are hotter than steam
All that I'm seeing is the poverty and crime in my city
The drugs are taking over and it ain't nothing pretty
Guns are getting pulled instead of wanting to box
Kids want techs and glocks instead of bikes with shocks
I've lost friends to heroin alcohol and pills
My homie says selling coke will pay the bills
Instead I work a 5-1 job till my body throbs
After work i'm in the lab glad cause I'm finally off
smoke an L, sip a brew, listen to Charlie Parker
Hypnotized by her thighs as the sky's get darker
The moon shines on my mind like spotlight
Feeding me the fuel that i need so i can rock right
Im bright on the mic and so raw with the beats
I love hip hop so much that i rhyme in my sleep cause i,
Don't Stop, and You Won't Stop
Don't Stop, and You Won't Stop
Keep moving you dont want to stay in one place
Because This Life's too short for you to let it waste
So as i race with the time i savor every second
Constantly in motion cause persistence is a weapon
I'm slice samples like samurai's with katanas
And break beats i eat like a wolf does a sheep
Practice what you preach and impeach any phony
My name is Anthonius monk you dont know me
And if you do your probably one of the few
That have watched me get on stage and cook the mic like a stew
Yo All My rhymes are sharp like the notes of a harp
Its enough to get you pumped like a dog when it barks
Watch how i start because i dont know my end
The middle's like a griddle if you mind is pretend
Keep the record spinning dont let the needle skip
Roll along with punches and keep your fist in a grip
Don't Stop, and You Won't Stop
Don't Stop, and You Won't Stop
