Jeet Kune Flow

Bruce Lee in MC mode is taking place now
Watch me crash in torrents and rain down
A shapeless entity that acts much more deadly
Tread against me and have you spun 360
Empty your mind and empty the body
Be lucid, be fluid, reaction times quicker than Ali
Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
Basically except be free similar to the sea
Move in ribbons of blues and hues into shades
Beautifully travel across the land in majestic waves
Transform into drizzle that makes it way into mist
The liquid specter manipulates your tensed up fist
A spectacular waterfall that leaves them in awe
Drink me up from a straw but know this one law
When I switch up the flow, you should already know
My style is a lyrical Jeet Kune Do, oh!
So with that being said let's just make it rain
But instead of throwing dollars: I throw change
I make it hail, y'all can tell, I'm the ocean: you're a pail
And you've failed with this cause I'm washing away the trail
I don't runoff because I am the jump off
The pump toss that makes you sick like a bump cough
My occupation as precipitation is so damn boss
The message is Nas, the cost is to be on frost
To be on point like icicles, handle bars like bicycles
To consider all sources powerful, even a trickle
Float on like a cloud, it's an overcast day
I represent the Pacific, a level past the Bay
With my trident microphone I might dent your headphones
Because flow so heavy, it'll get them blown
Picket signs go along with my wicked rhymes
So cricket times and just flick at the designs
It's not too deep, definitely more shallow
It's actually quite callow and I'm quite fallow
So I'm the holy water that oughta baptize
The cries supplies much more than surprise
It provides an icy arctic chill that will fill and kill
Anything moving will stand still so ill
That tsunami body is probably just me
So stand back as I'm just a one man army
The vapor you savor and you can't borrow from neighbors
This is one of a kind unique like engraver
So the shaver makes snow cones in my flow zone
And when I go home the Jeet Kune Do is flown
I speak in hydrospheres that Spyro leers
It'll extinguish and relinquish volcano jeers
With these hydrates I rate way above any weather
It's clever that these feathers travel together
H2O from slush to snow, all the way for show
I should know: I'm a master of Jeet Kune Flow, whoa

The Salamander and the Verse

Fahrenheit 451, let's get it right
That most of this track will be burning bright
I'm a salamander that remains in flames
With massive grammar that renders them lame
Everything gets burned up I increase the process
I confess with my massive fire I put them to rest
Fiery boleros that mimic the nature of infernos
It goes near my nose out my mouth and into minds closed
Then it opens up and heats the weak minded
Let it be reminded that if you find it, you'll be blinded
You must remember that the embers burn in December
And get to close and it'll turn and burn tender
With a sensation that never very patient
The hues of this track will have plaques complacent
Because they'll ponder the heatwaves that I gave
And soon more will brave the maze to get this blaze
The knaves will rave or question the themes
And they won't even notice red dreams or rhyme schemes
Red Magic is quite passive so I just call it passion
Constantly mashin' on the dash so he's burning and passin'
I ought to stick with what my mind picks, but it's so sick
That I have to pull out some Jedi Mind Tricks
Unsheath the saber and the flavor is Faber
With no more tracers it's basically a favor
The fervor of your server will continue on burner
And by the time it's done the tables are called Turner
Without any dismission then I start my ignition
The new position is pounding down harder than Sonny Liston
Red like Anakin or like the Champion
I Am Legend talking to these mannequins
Endothermic reactions that have captions of action
I'll become the whole show: not just an attraction
The kindle I've spindled and already used up
I'm boiling in under three minutes, call me noodle cup
A wildfire that inspires pyres to become more wired
I get tired as the conspires continue to get fired
The beauty of my destruction has a paradox
Because in society it still has function like FireFox
But then again, it can backfire and backlash
And just in a flash the future is now the past
Feeding the flames with gas is now such a blast
Vapid beings will rapidly add daft less crass
So the symbol is this song is quite simple
That the the ink I write with from my frindle
Is on fire with the lighting that's astonishingly frightening
A temperature higher than bolted down lightning
At Celsius: you can't even tell what it is
So much energy that the track is melting this
So from the ashes will rise an ardor phoenix
And the genius will produce an even harder remix

I Need A Dollar

[Chorus]
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
And I said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me?

[Verse 1]
I've got my mind on my money, money on my mind
And even with all this obsessing, it's still hard to find
I've got to hustle and grind just for a small dime
Still haven't enough funds to fund my own rhymes
All I need is just another twenty bucks
Buy a microphone, but I'm still out of luck
I need some blank CDs to burn me as an MC
But of course it might leave my pockets empty
I need a booth to record and master my tracks
But to get that money, I wouldn't have clothes on my back
If I could, I would, and then sell it for 100 cents
A penny for my thoughts, but I'm still not spent
I have to get on my hustle, all business
Succeed or fail, it's still just an experiment
I need a dollar, just put it in the hat and leave
I'll busk from day to night just to fund my dreams

[Chorus]
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
And I said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me?

[Verse 2]
Just one dollar, the first president of America
It's one step closer to the lights action camera
Losing stamina, need to regain my senses
It's hard to do when you're stuck down like benches
Want to get that last quarter, even a few minutes
I'm in it to win it, gotta finish and push it to the limit
But when the time's up I gotta put another quarter in
I've got no extra lives, so one small slip is fin
But until then, I'll continue to write with my pen
Hopefully then me and Ben won't just be friends
I'll just work hard and I'll rock any venue
To get that extra dollar for that value menu
I'll pick up shifts at Freddie's and shop at Dollar Tree
If it means that I can proceed to MC
I won't beg with a sign, I'll work for my rhymes
If you think I'll relax and recline, you must be blind

[Chorus]
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
And I said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

[Verse 3]
I'm a yoga instructor the way I stretch dollars
I get it way much longer and way much taller
Call me Mr. Fantastic with my rubberband tactics
I just gotta to practice and above all practice
When it comes to fashion, doesn't impede my passion
Even with hand-me-downs I keep the cameras flashin
I must admit, that I have spent quite stupidly
And truthfully it was better than getting a 100 proof for me
Cause I witness the symptoms of this broken system
People spending money on drugs and alcohol, but listen
I see the rich and poor equally piss it all away
It's all the same toilet the way they spend day to day
So I made a vow to keep my feet on the ground
The only bass I get is from that amplified sound
So with my nouns that pound as the you press play
Donate a dollar, so I can get paid!

[Chorus]
I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
hey hey
And I said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

[Outro]
Well i don't know if i'm walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me

Failing and Succeeding

[Chorus]
They call me Alex Dang
Dang Alex is what they say
No matter how it's said
It still ends up the same way

[Verse 1]
Through trial and errors, on a wing and prayer
I walk down this calm and cool like a ring bearer
With flair that blinds and shines when I rhyme
It's still a shot in the dark if it's not the right time
Two sides of a coin, heads or tails
For me, same thing, with success and fails
Wins and losses, it's all the same percentage
As of now, I can't have the upper advantage
My words planted and grown so I harvest
Even so it's shooting blindfolded at a target
No cheats, just beats and strings of letters
Creating a complex message when it's together
But like trying to keep two feathers in the sky
It's all up in the air no matter how hard you try
No trying to bring people down, but I'm lifting you up
50/50, half full or empty, just liquid in a cup

[Chorus]
They call me Alex Dang
Dang Alex is what they say
No matter how it's said
It still ends up the same way

[Verse 2]
So like light and dark there's two sides to a spectrum
Reflect, deflect or just protect them
Shoulder angel and devils assisting with this treble
Said the pot to the kettle, they're both metal
It's all the same if it's through the looking glass
Cooking ash and booking sass all just out your ass
But when opposites meld, it's a beautiful thing
Samples that are amplified by the fat lady sing
High tops rocked in a manner with a low five
Go inside and you'll see both the uncut and the live
Literally and figurative language paired to create
Masterpieces of new and ancient cuisine on your plate
Being full with the hunger to roll like thunder
To flash like lightning and make successes from your blunders
I have no off switch, so they tell me to dream on
Failing and succeeding is my theme song

[Chorus]
They call me Alex Dang
Dang Alex is what they say
No matter how it's said
It still ends up the same way

3 Minutes Part 1

Let's see if I have that ability and dexterity
To stay on top of a beat with some lyrical variety
Try and see if I got this for 3 times 60 seconds
It'll take me only a portion just to wreck this
Quite impressive with this mental lesson plan
And I'm the man that ran past these flans
Past the tram and summoned like an esper
Allow the words to ooze and fester like dinner from Lecter
Hannibal: and I'll be an animal and a savage
Then I'll ravage a degree 47 times average
I'm past this so no gifts or presents, the future
I'm so ahead, I'm at midnight crowing like a rooster
I got a booster with an amulet that allows the grammar spit
To become glamorous and sicker than cancerous
A disease, a virus raging and staging inside my body
Try and copy and get lobbied and pinned like Bobby
No I'm not fobby, though I am fresh off the boat
Cause I was on it with dope quotes that I will gloat
These notes float in an ocean that's less than a moat
So even the Pope wouldn't mope with this soap
You better hope I clean up like Janitors with pentameters
I will Gallager with the hammer and have them stammer
With some candor standards that will only clamor
It's not blander so look and gander at this never lander
The spammers will have difficult time against my stamina
So lights action cameras, check out Captain America
That shield that yields with a whole field of vision
Listen as my heart cries bravely like Mel Gibson
Let me pay you back with my lethal weapon
Wait a second, this is a lethal through the ears injection!
Correction, this is just excellence in verbal form
My words have a purple warm secreting a herbal storm
It's dope lines inside a deranged mind: why so serious?
I'm alive said the doctor, I'm just a bad experiment
In the water is monsters, I rule like Poseidon's wrath
I'm Verizon maps and I've got horizon stats
I'm here one person, just singular, never a plural
So roll over and bow down to the king, duke and earl
All at the same time with this same rhyme
And all in the same mind is 7 different grinds
A disorder that causes my temper to be much shorter
So when I get enraged you better run for the boarder
I am Tyler Durden and I've got exactly zero burden
Instead I'm mayhem mixed in a cup with Bourbon
Straight nerdin' with my consistent persistence
I'll bag you up and box you out like Sonny Liston
I'm constant but not a consonant, more like a conference
Something you don't want to face: I am THE consequence
If you want to sponsor this then holla at yo boy
Make some noise real loud like Happy Happy Joy Joy
Quit acting so coy otherwise I'll strike down mics
Too late for that, they've been impaled with pikes
So pipe down before I step around like my rotating sound
Looks like I've found my round so get awed and astound
I'm not out of bounds, I decimate mountains to mounds
And I've got a sound heart that goes p-pound, pound
And the crowd now is getting so lived and wired
Looks like my lyrical supplier's stock is getting way higher
Start at a spire and rises up to a grand monument
Opposite of capitalist but stereotypically a communist
But my common sense says let the craft speak
With this form so unique with a technique so sheik
So sleek without any leaks or anything looking so bleak
I haven't hit my peak so let's not make this meek!
