MCL

[Chorus]
MCL makes me excel
MCL makes my mind turn well
MCL makes me tell
That I'm reaching something stellar

MCL helps me be
MCL helps me breath
MCL helps me see
Views from others differently

[Verse 1]
Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter
From the advanced experts to the beginners
We start here, a diamond in the rough
This is the stuff that makes geniuses come up
Walk through the glass entrance, underneath arches
You're surrounded by lore and volumes of parchment
The aroma in the air is of crisp paper and silence
From social, political, and physical science
Cultures ranging from the Spartan to the Mayans
We got it here at the Multnomah book alliance
The triumvirate of triumphant resilience
Un-tiresome is the pursuit of brilliance
The chase for intelligence, the search for knowledge
Come over here to keep your mind polished
Stay quiet though, scholars and creating masterpieces
This is the library: the preface to the thesis

[Chorus]
MCL makes me excel
MCL makes my mind turn well
MCL makes me tell
That I'm reaching something stellar

MCL helps me be
MCL helps me breath
MCL helps me see
Views from others differently

That's the Multnomah County Library

Roses and Thorns

[Verse 1]
Welcome to the City of Roses and Thorns
We adorn the scorn and the mass of porn
Lovely ladies draped across shady signs
Beats wrapped in coffee grinds dipped in rhymes
The bookworm paradise, home to Powell's
Nerds, birds, observe the roosters and owls
We've got so many Outbacks, mistaken for down under
But we're the emerald gem, North West wonder
Let me touch on a few beloved locations
Out of towners come to us for their prized vacations
Home of the green, in every definition
Wreckin' the repetition of a hip competition

[Verse 2]
Downtown beauty, picture perfect
Move down here and stay a while, it'll be worth it
Lents, Woodstock, Sellwood and Moreland
We'd love you here, parenthesis, colon
A mecca of culture, a melting pot reinvented
We say what we mean, and we really meant it
Our personality is sunny, our weather is rainy
We keep Portland funny, and we keep it brainy
Bring in the PBR and just trim the beard
This is PDX and we make it cool to be weird
Sit back, relax, grab someone near and dear
I'll be your tour guide, and I'm glad your here

Social Media Revolution (Part II: ForTheWin)

Yo. I'm a mac like I got no windows
But I got that tight for the win flow
So, when I rhyme like this slow
You know I just wanna go toe to toe
I'm looking out the window on a vista
View so beautiful I'll take a pictuah
Click. The noise from my camera shutter
The noise you mice make as you mutter
I got this like I work for Apple
Get it? No? Note the vowels cause iGrapple
iShuffle, iTune, iDo it less than soon
iPhone into my brain just like a cartoon
iResume inside my Zune, listen to the boom
Vroom-Vroom, when I step inside the room
Breaking windows and walls, I cannot be stopped
Who's representing? Takumi the Firefox


Now let me switch up the style of rapping
I hope you like all that computer tapping
I'm importin' like my name is Norton
Since you're a virus I'm mad important
I'm not the player, I'm a Windows Media Slayer
I kill the beat bittersweet like John Mayer
Big ups to my boy Sonic the Hedgehog
I like the blogs, let's play the game like Pogs
I'll log in with my username and password
Gotta stay protected, they get on my nerves
I set up walls made of fire, pillars of pyre
I'm a live wire, you get all this satire?
Cause even with the King and all his Men
I put you to sleep, stand by now and then
On my desk top are the makings of Hip Hop
I press you squares if I want you to stop
I'm an Explorer inside this Safari
If this is too savage and vicious then I'm sorry
I take AIM to destroy the lame and shame
They don't know who I am, so I say my name
Then I explain so they don't ask "Yeah who?"
Instead they say "Listen to him. Yeah you too!"
I write with keyboards, sometimes pens
It's done: I shut the game down again!

Social Media Revolution

[Chorus]
What's the new revolution? Here it is
Social Media's evolution has become limitless
What's the new revolution? Here it is
Social Media's evolution has become limitless

[Verse 1]
How many of you listening have a Facebook account?
If I'm not mistook, the count is 700 mil now
50 percent of the earth's population is under
the age of Thirty, say goodbye to the ancients
Out of a hundred, 96 of the millennials
Have begun networking. Soon it'll be the entire centennial
Social Media has taken over the internet
Topping off pornography as it's direct effect
Let's take the great devices that we once used
It took television 13 years to get 50 million views
4 years for internet and 3 for iPods
Less than one year for Facebook, here's the jaw drop:
Even though this is to the bucket a drop
How many people did Facebook got?
1 year with a grand 200 million people
Without much to say, Social Media is without equal

[Chorus]
What's the new revolution? Here it is
Social Media's evolution has become limitless
What's the new revolution? Here it is
Social Media's evolution has become limitless

[Verse 2]
Both Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears, believe it
More Twitter followers than all of Sweden
What stays in Vegas, stays in Vegas
Not to mention Facebook, Flickr, and Youtube: Rate it!
As I speak, 100 hours of video will be uploaded
15 million articles have been written and posted
Onto the new Encyclopedia: that's Wikipedia
Think of all the money to be made off this media?
If I was paid a dollar for every single article
I'd make $1712 dollars an hour, that's marketable!
With a sea and ocean of blogs and thoughts
Newspaper is out of date, the thickening plot
Word of mouth is out, it's the World of Mouth
Surf the web or drown, but you can't get out
Click the refresh and open a now browser
Ad corporations aren't in charge: we have the power

[Chorus]
What's the new revolution? Here it is
Social Media's evolution has become limitless
What's the new revolution? Here it is
Social Media's evolution has become limitless

[Verse 3]
I crash down Torrents of info in this flow
So my socio eco knows LOL u mad bro
Zipping past files while moving through miles
Of fiber optics, I've opted this boom like Guile
I'm spitting mediafire and a to z shares
I'm well aware that these pirates are playing fair with fare
My bandcamp has got a sound that will touch clouds
Sound pounding down that could Digg underground
Check the status, they're less than 140 characters
They're derringers to this harbinger of merits sir
Knock me down and I'll only Tumbl
But remaining humble, I'll stumble back to rumble
In your windows and media I seem a player
But in reality I respectfully just meme a hater
I've got the keys and there's a password involved
The revolution revolves around the Internets call

Max Power

You're like a bicycle, two tired to stand
You can't understand, the jokes are too grand
The days for you are numbered, I call you calendar
This will be more rational than regular integers
I'm like a broken harp with one string left
Always b sharp, so this punk is daft and deft
You're stuck with me like huge credit debt
Meaning you can't budge it, it keeps you in check
Haters are plateaus: high forms of flattery
And I'm NaCL and power: a salt and battery
Eating up time, I'm going back four seconds
I'm a slingshot in class: a math distraction weapon
You're not in this song you couldn't find the key!
I got it locked down in arrest like clogged arteries
I'm hard to beat, hard-boiled egg swag
You've got bad connections: sure to lag
They got bad shoes, suffering of de feet
You Halloween me: always eager to treat
But I got this bill, no need to gate me
Oh wait, your hypothesis is contradicting: it's negating
I'm great debating, call me a Master
I'm mastering like an engineer master as Vassar
With my photo flow, I'm fully developed
I've relished you mustering the strength the catchup
Staying stationary while pushing the envelope
You dopes hang onto my every word like a rope
Just to cope, I'll cane you like candy or Citizens
Because you need to calm down! Take some Ritalin
Riddle them with a need to know basis
Like bakers have taken this track and made it
I'm a man driving a full metal train mixed with a storm drain and a magnetic lane:
A good conductor, and it struck her
With a light bulb over her head
But she upper sits in my boxcar bed
And instead, she doesn't dread my puns
She helps me round them up with fresh pies and buns
Love me like whiskey lovers, love me still
I'm a sick and dead giveaway: I'm ill will
I'm a book on anti-gravity: impossible to put down
I'm like a marriage: a new name, a dress and gown
A backward poet that writes inverse
I'm worth more than Prada Boxing: more than the purse
Blackout in my symbiote suit
Or like Metallica: you're very astute
I been savage like when Boy Meets World
Been precious when I met her sister: Mother of pearl
So magical while I drive these cars
I turn into driveways and crash into bars
I'm getting over this like my fear of hurdles
I'm spitting over these tracks: HACK and gurgle
This is tense like the future, past and present
This is in tents like fires in circus' presence
This might hurt like seconds to the minus one
But in the end, it's all in good pun

TalkSimple

[Verse 1]
First name Word, Last name Smith
Forging together lines in perfect synthesis
As simple as this? As complex as that
Come stress my rap and I'll come bless your track
I am a stroke of genius, a touch of talent
Endless and seamless, this gauntlet: no challenge
A dash of brilliance, a glimmer of resilience
If you ever measure this it'll read in the billions
Louder than a bomb, refined like a psalm
Past the calm, CD ROMs, all in my palm
Submerge the verse in a dirge of excellence
The malevolent resident I turn benevolent
Listen to the literary structures, I'm an architect
It's hard to test how far I will go, so take a rest
Lyrical Liberal, Assertive Conservative
I'm the best of every world, I've already learned this

[Verse 2]
I state the facts and the stats, not the opposite of back
I don't front, you hacks just fade to black
The making of a monster: please witness
The goblin of wittiness is back, open for business
A legendary creature: I'm already aware
Never secondary feature, this stage I cannot share
Frankenstein and Einstein in my mind
Once upon a rhyme till the end of time I'm sublime
Godzilla mixed Trilla, so much presence
Guerrilla and Manila Thrilla warfare: check the evidence
Never heard a diss! They fear this thing
On every track I slay and pack: I Van Helsing
You cannot fathom the chasm: peer in the dark
My mouth fires darts that are sure to hit the mark
Not understood in literal juxtaposition
Look at my composition: there is not competition

[Verse 3]
Level up! It's just the nature of the beast
I learn more, gain more. Knowledge never cease
On this mic I explode, I melt a la mode
My wordplay code takes years to unload
Mastered the metaphors and the punchlines
The champ making good time, knock you out blind
Expertness Asian, peep my equation
Conversation plus concentration equals premier presentation
I've found new ways to convey the same thing
My spaceship wings allow me to be an Upperground King
You might be fly but my status: intergalactic
Prophylactic addicts listen and become so passive
I light up the scene with cameras, then I take action
A fraction of my passion can be anything you imagine
I take root in the booth like birds getting roost
This right here: Egotistical SWAG BOOST!

Explosions

[Intro]
As I walk through, mirages are sure to follow
But they burn up their time that is borrowed
As I walk through, mirages are sure to follow

Shhh.

[Verse 1]
Time to blow up kind of like circus balloons
Spitting like saloons this kid didn't come a minute too soon
He a loon, a cartoon, well I space jam
Intergalactic fruit on my toast, I don't go ham
Patented, imagine this, listen to this rapper bliss
So holy just some Swiss, so foul it's blasphemous
I'm laying down land-rhymes that in time
The people will step on and feel my mind
My explosions of emotions will reach past corrosion
Into your brain and of course into your motions
I eat power, devour strength and dynamite
The rhymes are bright that you won't need a light
A glow that illuminates the entire skyline
A fireball in the Northwest, brought to you Primetime

[Chorus]
I'm about to blow up just like explosions
I'm about to blow up call it Typhlosion
I'm about to blow up, I'm melting all the rust
I'm about to blow up, I'm the heat that you can trust

I'm about to blow up like Hot Air Balloons
I'm about to blow up like classic Looney Tunes
I'm about to blow up like I've been stressed out
I'm about to blow up, check the flames out my mouth

[Verse 2]
Everything I throw up, blows up, so what?
This beat makes me feel like a full adult man: grown up
Combustion verses with concussion curses
I'm self-destructive trying to get out my purpose!
Feeling amped, feel the champ flow through my camp
I've got a style none can touch, call it broken lamp
I lay blasts in the grass, the mass of gas, alas!
That fiery inferno is hotter than Satan's ass
Now pass, on some ill lines comparing me to the devil
Well it's quite special that my treble's like medical
It heals, it feels, it's basically a ritual
Past habitual, this blows up in your mind, becoming critical
Feel the flames through your physical frame
And let it burn into your spiritual plane
To all my fans out there, to every show goer
Watch my mouth: by now it's a flame thrower!
Heat rises, so I'm never going lower
I'm higher than the grass, call me a lawn mower
Pardon this arduous, ignited microphone
I'm melting the roof off, step off the brimstone
I've been blown, unknown, but about to spread
Like wildfire, but instead, it's heating your head
Pumping lead, magma and lava through this saga
Of embers burning through December with more chakra
Propane flow, I'm the reason for higher gas prices
I give life to the lifeless and I blaze through every crisis
I'm playing with fire to stay warm, such a genius
Let me rise from the ashes, call me the Phoenix

[Chorus]
I'm about to blow up just like explosions
I'm about to blow up call it Typhlosion
I'm about to blow up, I'm melting all the rust
I'm about to blow up, I'm the heat that you can trust

I'm about to blow up like Hot Air Balloons
I'm about to blow up like classic Looney Tunes
I'm about to blow up like I've been stressed out
I'm about to blow up, check the flames out my mouth

[Breakdown]
As I walk through, mirages are sure to follow
But they burn up their time that is borrowed
As I walk through, mirages are sure to follow
But they burn up their time that is borrowed

[Chorus]
I'm about to blow up just like explosions
I'm about to blow up call it Typhlosion
I'm about to blow up, I'm melting all the rust
I'm about to blow up, I'm the heat that you can trust

I'm about to blow up like Hot Air Balloons
I'm about to blow up like classic Looney Tunes
I'm about to blow up like I've been stressed out
I'm about to blow up, check the flames out my mouth

Treasured

My treasured raps are under treacherous wraps
The measured of that is far beyond a pestilent gap
Spending pesos, rocking gold halos, richer than mako
Check out the cake yo, shinin' makes the day glow
Crack open the box of words and valuable, malleable
Verses that is far beyond the mind of any valley girl
The euros are forceful in the way they stay stacked
Like my odds against any handed or random track
Orated for high debated and elated salaries
None should challenge me or battle me, I rattle beats
For this paper, cut like scissors and then I rock
Do me a favor: since I'm runnin' like blisters, get off my jock
I deal in stocks, past dollars and change: beans to me
Seems to we that the money we provide is keen to be
Residing in my pockets making the star of this project
Let me profit, check the dockets, peep the gold locket

[Chorus] x2
I remember back living on Hard Times Avenue
The humble up rising made me a badder dude
Now it's gold paved ways here on Easy Street
And I still got the technique to make it complete

Rupees aren't new to me, they actually prove to be
Truthfully, a newly way to pay up your duties to me
Honestly, I'm not actually one to talk a lot about wealth
But I did it for myself, despite the cards dealt
I had pocket 7s and a ten in my hand, damn
Made the ten into a man, bam, what did I land?
Got me a queen, upgraded to a king
Laid the cards down and it earned me my things
Yeah, it's all chance in cards with that probability
But it doesn't hurt when you've got massive ability
The stability of my artillery is actually really
Silly because it's beyond the value of a real soliloquy
The merit of this is 24 karat, flier than a parrot
Acid from the larynx, more confidence than arrogance
Without a therapist, still carry it in various
Areas of when he's riding on 24 inch chariots

[Chorus] x2
I remember back living on Hard Times Avenue
The humble up rising made me a badder dude
Now it's gold paved ways here on Easy Street
And I still got the technique to make it complete

Atticus Finch

Splatter artistically with no mystery, check my history
Swagger dapper and faster than all you dissing me
Jersey boys playing games, it's a shame, in my domain
I reign, pull out the hood, I came and Blained
David Copperfield with the hotter feel and with an otter peel
I rhyme slicker and sicker than when your daughter's ill
Viruses and vices written on papyruses without a pious kick
But catch holy ghosts when I write this bit, switch
Multiple roller bowls that buff up like Nathan Fuller knows
Pull her and dole the sir and hoarder of the boarder stir
Syllabic and mix the lyrics and civics with chiclet bits
And you get a tick that flick the wick quicker if I remain ticketless
Add the funky synthetics and the medics will get pathetic
Check the credit, cred this if you met it and let it flow: electric
I'm every element and seasonal condition with intuition
Suspicion stiffens lift it like Michelin in Dunder Miflin
Crevices in your microphone I turn into canyons
My companions are landin' down being shot outta cannons
Brief the chief on the leaf and you will see no more beef
And the thief will be in keeps with me because the words between my teeth
Indebted, accepted, exception with the perception of embedded this
Adjust my wire frames and my suit. Call it Atticus Finch, call it adequate at it's finest
But I have to rhyme this so timeless. Everyone around me is spineless
Mortal Kombat on wombats. Hit them with a bomb stat
The calm that calls back and chomps fat destroying every thermostat
Check the damn monitors, the pedometer, and the auditors
Everything going crazy or getting sloppy sir, it's on my nerves
Dragon fangs, Alex Dang, boom boom bang, bring it back: boomerangs
Dragon fangs, Alex Dang, boom boom bang
Hworang, Battle bane, get him slain, I am mentally un-contained, bring it back: boomerangs
Dragon fangs, Alex Dang, boom boom bang
Hworang, Battle bane, get him slain, I am mentally un-contained, bring it back: boomerangs
Hworang, Battle bane, get him slain, I am mentally un-contained
