Embers (feat. Fiks Martin, A$h-W1n, Kalimari, King Kobra & S.O.S.)

The dance of battle is always played to the same impatient rhythm What begins in a surge of violent motion Is always reduced to the perfectly still Sun Tzu The earth could never budge me, and the sea could never nudge me The sky could never judge me, and the wind could never touch me So what hope you think you got of ever stepping up to confront me Today, today, today The earth could never budge me, and the sea could never nudge me The sky could never judge me, and the wind could never touch me So what hope you think you got of ever stepping up to confront me No way, no way, no way I feel so amazing these days you'd swear I done robbed a bank The names nosh, but what I'm eating be the last super young god Artemis I started young, I'm hard to keep like a brand new bra The league I'm, need a stronger mind; they need of me to conjure hybrids Jurassic rappers who'll experiment with trappers Got the OG knowledge nippers, every beat immense when comma's Get to my wallet I'm on it, if they won't cough I won't catch on Oh my god F is profiting from syllables let's latch on Funny how my blind faith, makes em think we correlate Me breaking up with my bae, great timing I'm stocking cake My friends went their own way, great timing no calling fakes My schedule is fully booked; I'm on these books like Doctor Strange Deadbeat father to the kids I blue tick Heads been caught up in the things that woo me Like writing lyrics and producing new schemes Limited edition I'm that you should keep You ain't got no, vision you lacking too see, your delusions are distracted by booty Only time your thoughts actually stick out Only man for the job these feature fuel me True story I don't think twice, I kill em with one verse he nice Too godly I'm FredThaGods student and son, Goodo lives on Through these psalms, the proof is obvious (Yes) I'm confident (Dent) no Harvey Nothing could make me doubt, only ice hockey be the closest time I get cold feet The earth could never budge me, and the sea could never nudge me The sky could never judge me, and the wind could never touch me So what hope you think you got of ever stepping up to confront me Today, today, today The earth could never budge me, and the sea could never nudge me The sky could never judge me, and the wind could never touch me So what hope you think you got of ever stepping up to confront me No way, no way, no way Running against the wind had me running in place Til I picked up the feet Like Jesse Owens, now the goose is out the chase Drop the Rolex, got no time for defeat Getting goosebumps, but I learned to make an omelette from the goose eggs Like Atlas it's worth the weight (Wait) Forget the bread, you rappers are toast Like Wimbledon, breakfast is served, got you giving thanks for the roast Like Wimbledon, you dropped the ball on this one Hear the racket, sounds like winning is close So I'm saying deuces to the tie, now I pick up the pace I'm an egghead that just cracked the Da Vinci code, my mind's in a race Don't forget that I'm the reason you reap what you sow Cuz Kaarmaa. tempting fate A game of hide and seek with Nemo ain't no joke I'm always gone without a trace You can never fathom my league when I'm deep in instinct mode Like a great white, I can smell the prey I'm storming the king's lair Peeling back all the king's layers Just checking the rest of you kings later I mean what I say, I'm an Oathkeeper Like Lannister blood, I'm a kingslayer The earth could never budge me, and the sea could never nudge me The sky could never judge me, and the wind could never touch me So what hope you think you got of ever stepping up to confront me No way, no way, no way To be a real warrior Power perceived may be power achieved A$HW1N Shenron Coming home to the place by the fire Still shaken by my demons of desire Yet content with the outcome of battle I rest with pride Knowing that the better part of the hassle Against man-to-man versus man-to-self Has withered away My subtle fears lay dormant 'til another day Kalimari Life never came with a sensei, yet I mastered the blade Like a ronin, I've been roaming, always eager to train Dodge, counter, thrust, step, slash, parry away the feint I live for the sword, I live for the skirmish I live for the pen, I live for the verbs and I live for the blood, and the sweat, and the tears on the surface Just a man with a purpose But still coming up for air like a porpoise Cuz you know sometimes Poseidon gotta wave goodbye to the ocean of poems Walk on water back to the humans Always Trouble Making, ATM, but even a god gotta live life in a balance Even a god gotta step out from Atlantis Never been the type to drown in my own Bermuda Remember my college years, my deepest fears, an engineer and the logarithms Took a bite from Adam's apple, had to grab the throat And now my knowledge ending the fear, by logging these rhythms Cuz like origami, used to always fold the hand I've been dealt Used to listen to the sound of a broken record of paper thin excuses I was stuck in a spell Until the day that the Fat Lady just finally changed her note to Foldin Clothes And now I'm getting paper cuts with the cranes I folded myself Now I see you busy chasing vixens and vehicles Guess you lost your train of thots (Train of thoughts) Flowing slowly goes my stream of consciousness When I've been drowning in thoughts Dousing the flames of the phoenix It's the feeling of just washing away the undefeated Baptized in the Fountain of Youth Building a mountain of truth Now Father Time is always pressing Treat the seconds like sheep, counting them go Every kid fears the Devil if he can't be a GOAT But today's a present if you've studied all the history lessons Thanking my tutors: Cole, Kendrick, and Nas Eminem, 3000, and 'Pac A dream can be a wild goose chase But I learned to make an omelette from the goose eggs And even with the goosebumps creeping up from a cold summer I'm Jon Snow with Daenerys, just feeling winter's heat Been busy storming the beats, with a splash of lightning and thunder And now the skies are clearing, feeling like Dorothy You can hear the end of the story by the sound of my feet The earth could never budge me The sea could never nudge me The sky could never judge me The wind could never touch me But no matter the distance No matter the range I can always see the trail of embers Leading back to the window frame The fires of battle are quick to rage Before they eventually simmer down into smoldering embers The ashes themselves get carried into the wind Ending up where they began At the hearth Where the flame is always brightest The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave And it feels even better to come back Kaarmaa In our travels We must use the embers from the blazing chaotic world As fuel to discover our own personal legends Recognizing that legend begins and ends at home King Kobra Life is like an odyssey A long journey full of peaks and valleys Happiness and hardships Memories that will last a lifetime For some That desire for adventure burns inside like a roaring flame But like all things Eventually fades But the little embers that remain Will be our guide to bring us home Where we may rest and find peace Taking time to reflect On the odyssey that we call our lives SOS
