lyrics

Hook:
This is not illusions
this is not for students
this is not outlined in the lines of your blueprints
this is self expression conducted through music

1st Verse
The ability to speak doesn't mean you have something to say
presuming you have knowledge of the choices I've made
assuming I'm only using music for satisfaction and play
man I never play with words I use words to play

The plays that I see never the plays that I do
I make this music for friends family and crew
few options hypotheses or postulations are waiting
when evaluations are taking place in the present


So I present presents in the form of my presence
the essence of my self that I seem to melt into a sentence
my tested defenses have left me relentless
restless to leave all of these critics breathless


2nd
I say what I want and deal with the repercussions
verbally vicious but funny like severe concussions
functions fulfilled I proceed to the junction
of geniuses and seamlessness

The facetiousness brings out the beast in this piece of shit
at least I'm not leashed to it not in the least bit
I feasted on the festering flesh of what you call art
Learned what I could and then tore it apart

From the start the sharks and narks have parked to listen in
fucking pissed that it don't sound like that hipster bullshit
this is Dub-E rhyming oh so flawlessly
I'll hop mc's that think of stopping me


3rd Verse
Here's the plans now get back to work
and then work on the plans to make sure the plans work
and If you don't plan to work then you got no plans at all
cause the man keeps you down with a hand on his balls

Smoke in his mouth choking camel uncouth
as a disheveled leper colonies lost and found
my feet don't pound the ground in pedestrian farewells
cause I'm running counter clockwise on playground carousels

Yet ostracized as some kind of terrorist cell
Another embarrassment bearing the title of American
put him on display people are sure to stare at him
and see him on the streets and then be scared of him

FICTITIOUS Seattle, Washington

FICTITIOUS does not exist. They make their presence known as an idea. Hailing from all over the country the members joined together as a collective with the goal of planting intelligence and poetry into the hip-hop structure. FICTITIOUS spins narratives centered around characters from all walks of life. By observing and dissecting that which isn't us we define that which is. ... more
