(Verse 1)
I'm not healthy but my kin be
I'm not wealthy but I will be
We hungry but them bellies full
I'm not a virgin to the grind, neither
The world's worst mind reader
but I can tell you're dialed in
(Bridge)
It's eating me alive
I wanna feast my eyes and say
"The fruits of our labor have arrived"
(Chorus)
Never fix your mouth to eat without
The ones you starved with
You'll never know how far you've come
If you can't remember where you started
Whatcha know about
Throwing it all away
Just to run it down?
(Bridge 2)
The world's smallest violins
Orchestrate the instances
In which, we blow everything out of proportion
(Verse 2)
I'm not a virgin to that, neither
A plot to shoot the messenger
We hungry but the bellies full
I'm not healthy but my kin be
I'm not wealthy but I will be
(Chorus)
Never fix your mouth to eat without
The ones you starved with
You'll never know how far you've come
If you can't remember where you started
Whatcha know about
Throwing it all away
Just to run it down?
I'm not healthy but my kin be
And I'm not wealthy but I will be!

Panorama Extravaganza
(verse 1)
Built like Kiwi
Wired like Einstein
with the drive of a thousand chauffeurs
A broad definition
of a definitive broad
I don't know if she chose me
or if I chose her
(chorus)
Life is a painting
and I'm soaking in the view
Panorama Extravaganza
(verse 2)
A well oiled machine
On a one track mind
Lui Kang with the melodies
Usain with the similies
to Hussain all these enemies.
A vague introduction,
to my end all, be all
Strokes of genius on the canvas of silence, we draw
The revolution won't be televised
Unless all the people coincide
Waving picket signs that emphasize
justice and freedom and things of that nature
Go pro with your prose
or to teach the unlearned,
Your calling's your calling
I'm calling my calling
Can you relay the message?
Until my skin and bones
Both decompose,
I'll give it everything I got,
everything I got,
Every single time
Chorus 2x

The Wildest Fire

(Verse 1)
Marley'd in a room
Saturated with starving artists
And each one believes
That they've been built with different parts
Staring into eyes
Staring back at me
I wonder if they'll ever know
How much it petrifies me
To lose their attention
A disconnection of lives
I need to ease the tension
I need a sharper knife
(Bridge)
Building bridges
Building bridges that connect
Building bridges that connect us to the cause
(Chrous)
This is to me
What a match is to gasoline
Together we have built the wildest fire
Burning so erratically
Charleston-ing with our brains off
In the eye
Of the wildest fire
(Verse 2)
Alone, suspended in the
In the most golden of moments
Analyzing all these faces
Through off white, crimson eyes
Sneaking into hearts
As they're rummaging through mine
I wonder if they'll ever know
The damage we can do when we combine
It's bla-bla-bla-bla-blasphemy
How their a-a-a-a-after me
It's mad traffic in the road to the American dream
It's worth it, or so it seems
(Bridge)
Building bridges
Building bridges that connect
Building bridges that connect us to the cause
of all this weighted bantor
Have you found out what you stand for?
(Chorus)
This is to me
What a match is to gasoline
Together we have built the wildest fire
Burning so erratically
Charleston-ing with our brains off
In the eye
Of the wildest fire
There's no more time to waste....
Let's set this whole place up in flames!
(Bridge)
Building bridges
Building bridges that connect
Building bridges that we know we'll never burn
All we have is our relationships
All we have is what we can't take with when we die.
So stay alive
Staring into your eyes
I see the wildest fire
(Chorus)
This is to me
What a match is to gasoline
Together we have built the wildest fire
Burning so erratically
Charleston-ing with our brains off
In the eye
Of the wildest fire
