[Verse 1: D'nae]
Spiritual nuggets like Gwendolyn Brooks
We're descendants in the pages of magnificent books
Never worry bout your age or how long that it took
Cuz the journey's still in place, side to side like a rook
(Unh)
Playin chess with the phanton
Skip Gates, Bill Gates, only one gives a damn son
And my girl says I'm handsome
Gender roles been dead so don't tell me what I can't, uh
Space vibes like a Jetson
Trailblazed through the maze that the opps tried to set, unh
Now it's time for a press run
Standing up wit' the brave to eliminate oppression
Fabricated from the best, unh
DNA so engraved that it's half of my name (mmh)
Accelerated, manifested
Liberation for the peeps like it's astral projection
Got the spells for protection
Witchcraft ain't a game so don't make me have to test em
Rain down with the blessings
Give praise, give thanks
Road paved for the next ones
[Verse 2: Savan DePaul]
Another ride contemplating your place in
The world, and your situation
To receive beef, need money
don’t wanna enter these streets hungry
Late stage reap peace from me
The brand of a life that pushes you to cannibalize
Or sell the fuck out- what now?
I ain’t boutta duck down
Bring every street sociologist and thug out to the dugout
Cuz sumn’s foul
[Verse 3: Savan DePaul]
99 to Phoenixville vía the NTC
Nobody envy me
Long bus rides let me reminisce back in the day
Vivid memories of relative pain and joy
Skets to shows to baby toys
Feds and homes that they destroyed
Weapons holstered making noise
Upend the culture, save the boys
Endless vulture nature void
In between exhibitions of atrocity
...Detail is a necessity
An anthem ending in catastrophic crescendos of organ failure
Unveil the .... next memory
Of a brilliant raven-haired {redacted}
Swift switch from harpy to sacred
Switch rip through all of the fake shit, fake shit
Loosie culprit grooving with dudes in Hoppean movements in two and-
Gulp, you screwed a jit
Uber pulchritudinous
Hoot and call my pseudonym
Who was on the roof with clips?
Moving on us, shooting shit?
The boogs upon us moving swift

Lo-fi Love Melody
02:01

[hook: savan depaul]
Lo-fi love melody
Know my love never leaves
Earned my trust, im at ease
Lo-fi love melody
[verse 1: d’nae]
Winds could bring the breeze in
But every single season
(yea)
I could fall in love with you
As long as we’re breathin’
Floating out to deep end
See ‘em tryna creep in..
Splash inside the seas
Wetter than the sheets you sleep in
Fountain sprayin
Nonstop
Got me hot
Girl you’re fire
Aint no better melody
Than you and I
Yea I try..
Swoonin’ through the screens
And now you’re all
Throughout my dreams
I’m sayin we could build a team
Composed of you and I, where’s the lie?
Lie to you not
Lets jump in the pot
The symbolism’s on a bean
Now lets cook to the top
Rollin tighter than the
Twists and the knots in my locs
Stop..
You can feel my loving through the distance, listen…
Wassup?
I wanna elevate ya..
Won’t overstimulate ya..
More like accommodate ya…
Lets spend our time in nature
And show you all the ways
I’ll work to bring you brighter days
And make them stay..
What can I say?
That’s just a taste of pure sensation..
(mmh)
Now close your eyes and think about it..
Lips b sinkin’ ships the way we kiss
So I don’t doubt it, heaven might exist..
[hook: savan depaul]
Lo-fi love melody
Know my love never leaves
[verse 2: savan depaul]
And that’s to my causal suitors and tutors
From a chat to reenact kama sutra manoeuvres
In each other’s hearts plus our bodies
Cuddling then fucking, lost in our hobby
I could make cover art of you body
That’s another mark they can’t copy, akhi
[hook: savan depaul]
Lo-fi love melody
Know my love never leaves
Earned my trust, im at ease
Lo-fi love melody

[intro: d'nae]
A glass mirror falls from the wall
And shatters...
A million pieces on the ground
Completely scattered ..
The mirror now
Separate from what it once was...
Its form changed forever
No amount of glue
You heat will ever be enough to..
Return its original state
New shards take shape with
New hazards
Yet they’re all the same..
[bridge: savan depaul]
Ain't been in the sketchpad for a minute now
Any past progress feels unfinished now
Ain't been in the sketchpad for a minute now
Ain't been in the sketchpad for a minute now
Any past progress feels unfinished now...
[verse 1: d'nae]
Fast forward to the point of no return
When you gave up all you had
For the knowledge that you'll learn
Fast track to the air
Like a bird
Rising high above clouds
Spreading love like a verb
Page turns
Night falls
One call
Bad news
I will not forget my face
I was driving on pause
What laws?
Auto-pilot kicked off
Like somehow it’s my fault?
Heaven knows
I aint even have the words
Just remember what I heard...
In the middle of a turn...
Felt my eyes get blurred
[chorus: d'nae]
Felt my mind get thrown
Everything I’ve ever known
All a sudden just and gone
All a sudden just and gone
Gone
Gone
Move on
Felt my mind get blown
Everything I’ve ever known
All a sudden just and gone
All a sudden just and gone
[verse 2: savan depaul]
Caught between wave and particle
Caught between humane and carceral
Augustine, I need a saint to bargain on
God let me just leave today to palms and calm
Horny needs, assorted deeds exhaust savan
Lost teeth, raw meat, carted off
Ennui stalked me on and off
God speech called me off and on
Non-peace spawned these awful laws
Doggy please I need the space to rocket launch
Cosmic leap to leave this crater-dotted rock
Each trial in my life got a place on the split screen
Turn magpie just to fly far away from the shitstream
Quick ride through the sky’s pinkish shades as rain hits me
Fate really gets me
[chorus: d'nae]
Felt my mind get thrown
Everything I’ve ever known
All a sudden just and gone
All a sudden just and gone
Gone
Gone
Move on
Felt my mind get blown
Everything I’ve ever known
All a sudden just and gone
All a sudden just and gone
[coda: savan depaul]
Is my course of action favorable from another vantage point?
Is my course of action favorable from another vantage point?
Is it?
Is my course of action favorable from another vantage point?

Year of the Punk

[verse 1: d’nae]
Should’ve seen it coming
Closer to water the way its running
(running, running)
With telepathy..
When I’m with you free my inner me
Not just any be...
Pray to god
Take all my enemies...
...Be consistent
Look, just be consistent
Narcissistic visions
Yea they cause statistics
Think that I’m a stickler
Way I mind my business
Checking off my hit-list
Spirits telling me...
Be persistent
You got it so heavenly...
Inner guidance
So light it’s inside of me
It’s so bright
Lose control
And just let it be...
Be me?
...Should I let it be?
Eric garner was crying
He couldn’t breathe
Trayvon martin was walking
Right down the street
And our fruit is still ripe
Hanging from a tree
Only thing that I see when I
When I…
And our fruit is still ripe
Hangin from a tree
Only thing that I see..
[chorus: savan depaul]
Well now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk
Now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh oh
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh oh
(oh whoa whoa, yeah)
(yah yah yah)
[verse 2: savan depaul]
I stumbled upon the formula
Rumbled with closet warriors
Come with your toxin, store it up
Your crew?
I must’ve begot the four of ya
Sorry for not informing ya
Talk raptors in long grass
And rappers don't miss that
No ropes when I skin cats
Don’t joke with my syntax
Kick back like I'm ong bak
A jab push your skull back
Big crack where ya jaw at
Higher thought planes don't exonerate you
Those who populate I dominate you
Liken it to lichen, I’m affixed to the earth
Quick to emerge and harsh winter’s preferred
If an opp hops out, I ring the alert
Let the biomechanical innard deter
Secret society of one, hidden child
Keep lyrics cryptic while you kids are infantile
It’s wild
Racists wanna body you and throw you in the overgrowth over growth?
Goddamn!
[chorus: savan depaul]
Well now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk
Now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh oh
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh oh
(oh whoa whoa, yeah)
(yah yah yah)
[verse 3: savan depaul]
When they wish to form a lie, we should formalize
Secrete the passion they’ll see with formal eyes
I refuse to lie while these harsh royals
Stay stoned on top like gargoyles
I’d rather fight wack administrations
I have to fight back with written phrases
Their hidden statements and system gaming
Put kids in cages for getting wages
Like shit’s degrading, pigs and rapists
Mingle daily with persistent racists
It’s amazing how shit became this whole pit of hatred within our nations
Darkness across all breeds
Poison spreading to our seeds
Few true messages cross feeds
And can even transmit across seas
[verse 4: d'nae]
And now
We’re past the point of
Stagnant captions
Rewrite the trials of history
With a new course of action
And sure as fast as it can happen
We’ll be lapping ‘round the
Planetary solar system
With discourse on fractions
Equality is not a dream of
Unrealistic fashion
When will the racists finally wake up
Their time is passing
Another cousin
From the tree of lineage is passing
A tragedy beyond retraction
Causin’ crowd reaction…
And just to tap in
The sentimental
Inside your mental
No accidentals
So called “officials”
Empowered by a loaded pistol
Hit like a missle
Breaking bones
And grinding gristle
Is what they're into
A twisted paradox with issues
Who wrote this issue?
We all got issues
With bells and whistles
Ringing to bring down the temple
But all we’ve been through
It’s now for us to..
Rise
Rise up
Rise
Rise up
[chorus: savan depaul]
Well now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk
Now we’re clearing it up
It’s the year of the punk
It’s the year of the punk
It’s the year of the punk, it’s the year of the...
It’s the year of the punk
(whoa, yah)
It’s the year of the punk
It’s the year of the punk, oh oh uh oh
(yah)

Free Spirits

[verse 1: d’nae]
Too free
Heard my spirit ask me
Why it couldn’t be?
Why
Does love
Not show hate
What it can not see?
Change the world
For the better
Increase the peace
With no fees
Hear the screams
Inside of me
From all the world
We wanna be..
Too free
Not just policies
And childish schemes
But more peace
Put our minds at ease
And help us sleep
Oh please,
We all need more peace
Fantasies
And altered streams
From conscious beings
Who want to breathe
Can’t believe anatomy
Could end a life with just a knee
When the knee was used for rights
They questioned colin’s loyalty?
Lawd please
Send us all more peace
We don’t wanna walk around with
Chips on shoulders
Heavy as boulders
Feelin like soldiers
We we don’t wanna walk around with
Chips on shoulders
Heavy as boulders
Feelin like soldiers
[verse 2: savan depaul]
As free as my neighbor, ooh ooh oooh
Tankie wanna break us (who who who)
Want static with some flavor? Doot doot doot
Caged dog finna yelp
Advice from the wise and experienced can help
But elders may place constraint on you
While they’re thinking that they’re helping you when they stay on you
I don’t take a man’s word as gospel, not then and not now
If that fucker is hostile, I’d pop then and I’ll pop now
I’m reporting live from the weimar
Living horror, writhing inside tar
Surveilled, can’t drop the veil
Can’t afford to drop one bit of my guard
Until I’m within my own quarters
No change, no quarters
Dreaming of the world I go toward with
No fence, no border
No bubble, no chain, no ceiling I collide with
Jetpack icarus is my shit
Free spirit tearing through the sky quick

Yea...
[Refrain: Ishtar Sr.]
Free me from snakes
[Hook]
Rather be free but
Snakes blatantly slither
Blade like a scissor
Raised like the stakes and graze to the face
Then straight into innard, straight into innard
Snakes blatantly slither
Blade like a scissor
Raised like the stakes and graze to the face
Then straight into innard, straight into innard
Straight into-
Straight into-, ayy

Tainted Lenses

[d'nae]
Tainted lenses
In my eyes
When they back track
Like they’ll never find mine..
Too fine..
Like the grapes
That they squish to get wine, please
In the past?
What past?
Move forward to last..
To the future..
What you mean,
I aint cut to be martin luther?
Imagine all the blunts
Being pulled with pollution
You just..
Sit back
And pray it never hits anyone
That you know like the flu does
Who us?
Yea us..
I can’t b friends with the monsters
I just wanna live…
But I don’t wanna live —
..In a land that you can’t imagine
And its intoxicating my brain
And my blood being
Corrupted by the air
That you thought was passion
The substance taints you
And got your whole imagination
Just fucked
Have you lookin down
When everybody says wassup!?
Now I’m lookin ‘round
And see...
I aint with the g.A.Me (game)
How they wanna tackle everybody and then say its “me”?
What?
Wake up to new heights
Give birth
That’s a new life
New love
With a new price
Then flames get thrown
Cuz im too righteous
Gorgeous! What an adjective
I got the forces
Aim ‘em at ya crib
Or where these actors live
And then we yell cut!
[savan depaul]
Become increasingly nocturnal
Struggling with demons, it’s eternal
In heat savan’s infernal
I’m bubbling from the heat in my internal
Blood rush flood, creep outside the sternum
I’ve been rumbling with a demon or two, niggas
Tryna munch then but they leave a sore tooth filling
A tiny budget, you ain’t even gon move with it
You’re tryna run it cuz you’re fiending for new figures
But you kinda fumbled since I speak the raw truth, feel it
Slightly stumbled since you’re preaching on news killings
A wild assumption- my decree, you’re on doom villain
And I’m one to etch-and-sketch a villain
Expect exorcism
Get x’ed and accept the schism
Make exit with em
We can see the people in the nighttime
Eating fruit from seeds of the belial type
Evil deeds are creeping out of nice guys
Leave a demon leaking like a pipeline

[Verse 1: D’nae]
[Verse 2: Savan DePaul]
DePaul is like one great wave on daybreak
The ten plagues are a tenth of my rage caged
Send your dogs to my cave, they get spayed, slain, and sent to pre-made graves
I do not placate
No mercy for the traitorous punk, all the fakes on a front
They can get fucked
Truth and trust was taken from us
forgiveness ain’t wasted on chumps
Screwed my friends till the end, now you war with me
Your farm’s a colony so it’ll burn in scorching heat
Those wack tactics got black activists quarantined
Spreading lies like wildfire through forest greens
What remains of materials? Nothing
No fucking shame, it’s serial
Pathology of demigod making dollars off a genocide
White collar never getting tried until we get the guilloti——iiiiiii think they get the point
Or should I say the edge
Motherfuck a pledge
Pull our kinfolk out of the dregs
[Chorus: Savan DePaul]
Slave class no longer
State/master wronged us
Blocked the road but our blazed path is stronger
Slave class no longer
State/master wronged us
Blocked the road but our blazed path is stronger
Slave class no longer
State/master wronged us
Blocked the road but our blazed path is stronger
