Calm before the storm

From whence I came, express my pain

Shape and mold my frame, I go by the name of OC

My PKA when onstage plus in real life this here is my government title

Idol to many, not the truth to naysayers

Better havin' a walker since British walkers

Way before Obama would start to be in office

Loss of friends to jails and some dead in a coffin

Way of life and music has since gone corporate

Picture the days past now, it's a whole different portrait

Me dumbin' down would be a sign of weakness

Throwin' in the towel as Victor Ortiz did

Protect yourselves at all times, my guard's up

Keepin' the odds even with the flow and the bars up

The star child leave 'em star-struck

Knowin' an engine won't run on its own without spark plugs

If you could read my thoughts, what you'd discover is mind-blowin'

Even when I'm asleep, my mind goin'

My subconscious stay alert

Revealing the questions to answers otherwise I don't know

What being known for others to be more in slow-mo'

See deception and truth be told

Yeah, set in my ways till you prove me wrong

Uh, sub-par ain't part of my report

Blood goods are feinin' for a taste of my law

For OC addicts, sorry for the wait

Tie off your arms, here's another dose, a few years withdraw

Been a bit too long, I know, vent, talk shit, let it out, exhale

Time to let it go

From a league of extraordinary men so what's expected

Is nothing below perfection, never lost that connection

When in doubt, life's about chances

Wilted trees only grow new branches

Words paint a canvas within, around my questions and answers

Mistake of a panther, lurkin', I know the game's hurtin'

One things for certain

When it's all said and done, who supplies the best service?

Take a look around, who's well worth the purchase

Y'all fooled by these aliens, Phenom is a Earthling

If you could read my thoughts, what you'd discover is mind-blowin'

Even when I'm asleep, my mind goin'

My subconscious stay alert

Revealing the questions to answers otherwise I don't know

What being known for others to be more in slow-mo'

See deception and truth be told

Yeah, set in my ways till you prove me wrong

Yo, there's nothing but wealth in my soul

So the slogan, men lie, numbers don't

Read between the quotes, a cop-out

In the D gettin' songs knocked out

Soon to hit the road and rock out

In pre-recordin', I can fix my mistakes

But it's another level in the flesh, live onstage

Big acts, backed by majors, sign the dotted line

360 like they doin' us a favor

Fake ass bosses talkin' balderdash with fake designer  garments

Glass in their crosses, balloonin' their profits, you **** need stop it

How far do the lies go before expose saints?

Pussy ain't a man's downfall no more

New things, stretch a lie as far as it could go

Product placement, live shit is way down in the basement

Crime, tour, promote murder, catch occasion

If you could read my thoughts, what you'd discover is mind-blowin'

Even when I'm asleep, my mind goin'

My subconscious stay alert

Revealing the questions to answers otherwise I don't know

What being known for others to be more in slow-mo'

See deception and truth be told

Yeah, set in my ways till you prove me wrong
