Mr. Invisible

[Chorus]
Mr. Invisible!
He just wants to save the day
Mr. Invisible!
He just wants to be OK

Mr. Invisible!
Will he find his Lois Lane?
Mr. Invisible!
How are you playing this game?

[Verse 1]
I'm hardly a hero, I'm more of a zero
I'm more of a gamble and a bad bet: casino
I'm not radio active, I'm not that fantastic
Without a face debonair, I'm not that attractive
I'd love to be like Superman and save the day
But hey, when I fight things don't always go my way
To throw villains in prison, yeah that's my mission
I can see though them without X-ray vision
No I can't fly, but I'll be sure to dress it
I'm not pathetic or invincible, I might need a medic
Credit to reddit for my incredible knowledge
Not a clay man I remain a tad bit more polished
All of your X-men are not lethal weapons
Take a second and tell me before you switch your text plan
There's no S on my chest, I'm not into tights
But I'll promise that I'll return to you every night
You're burning me up girl: call a fireman!
Takumi but I can be your Spider-man
Check your web provider, I can be your tiger
You've shot me down you hawk-eye sniper

[Chorus]
Mr. Invisible!
He just wants to save the day
Mr. Invisible!
He just wants to be OK

Mr. Invisible!
Will he find his Lois Lane?
Mr. Invisible!
How are you playing this game?

[Verse 2]
I'll protect you from all the bad guys
And I'll never even think about telling a sad lie
Might not be able to read your mind but surprise
I'll never give up and it won't hurt me to try
I don't know everything, but I'm willing to learn
I didn't just get my strengths, these things I've earned
Though I'm not that fast, I'll still make a dash
And I'll call you as quick as I can, as quick as a flash
Without fancy gadgets, or super-human magic
You might think my powers are lame and tragic
But I'm drastic and bold, I'm brave and untold
With a Midas touch that won't turn you to gold
For you I'll run up in a Blood's crib tonight
And tell him "Sup bud, I'm turning Crip tonight!"
I'll stay in the grave keeper's crypt tonight
All for you: you're my kryptonite
Give me a try, don't leave me in the dust
I'm more than what the say, I'm more than that: trust
Hearing rumors that all of these supers
Are past you measures, well who's holding the ruler?
They've got ultra muscles, they've mutant powers
They can turn time on it's head make minutes into hours
But I'm a little more than comic book antics
I've got a cape around my heart: super romantic

[Chorus]
Mr. Invisible!
He just wants to save the day
Mr. Invisible!
He just wants to be OK

Mr. Invisible!
Will he find his Lois Lane?
Mr. Invisible!
How are you playing this game?

Shake

[Verse 1]
I remember when I let my microphone get dusty
Rusty, rush me, I would not touch b
Felt like the words were dull, the concepts a bore
The metaphors abhor and the content a snore
Got too much hate from one side, some from another
A lot from my mom and a lot from my brothers
Coupled with middle school awkwardness
Though I wanted to author it, they would not pardon it
Self-esteem was asleep in the basement
The lyrics wouldn't fall right back into placement
In a funk, no dunk, flow bunked and stalled
Every night, try to write, but only echoes would call
Not a true voice, never anything real
I was an apparition but I just had to feel
Started being myself, chances I take are a must
Grabbed the mic and I just have to shake the dust

[Chorus]
Lose one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some
There's no need to question it: this is how we're answerin'

Find one, hold on to give one
Right one, win one to lose none
Story of a champion, sorry we are champions
We got one.

[Verse 2]
So I sharpened the pen and I started rehearsing
Started working on my game, this drain I wasn't circling
Read up on my sources, regained some lost forces
Conquered and divided foreign courses
Started digging myself: archeologist
Then I started to blow up, nah, I would demolish it
Living in a sauna, yes I've got to holla
Always got my self a steam, return of the proper
No longer playing their games, re-writing the rules
Measured up past their standards: metric tools
Started feeling cool, embracing my knowledge
Polished like fingernails on that punk rock logic
Not a part of the politics, it's never permanent
So I'm a lyrical liberal and an assertive conservative
Whatever I am, whatever I was
I only got here by shaking off the dust

[Chorus]
Lose one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some
There's no need to question it: this is how we're answerin'

Find one, hold on to give one
Right one, win one to lose none
Story of a champion, sorry we are champions
We got one.

[Verse 3]
So this last one goes out to anyone listening
To all the lovers out there who aren't bickering
This is for the celibate pedophile, the barista with a smile
And tonight she'll have to walk home 17 miles
For the struggling artist on the brink of quitting
It's not the 9th inning, in a few you'll be winning
For the boy who's choosing to be that high school virgin
And that young woman who's out to be a surgeon
Shaking the dust off, even when you've got a bad boss
So posh and gosh, you'll win more than you have lost
For the girl who looks in the mirror and sees a fat enemy
And for everybody who's cursed past obscenities
To the ones that have been called losers with no where to go
This life is your stage and this is your show
My people out there who are dealing with the loneliness
Keep shooting: the worse thing is that you'll only miss
Every flaw is beautiful, every person is unusual
Break out from the cubicle and try to make it musical
We'll give you an hour past your fifteen minutes
In it, in it, win it, win it, diminished: we'll never be finished
A gift from the wise, a lift from demise
A rift from the pride, a drift from the side
Feel that breeze, you already have a gust
Please just trust: just shake the dust

[Chorus]
Lose one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some
There's no need to question it: this is how we're answerin'

Find one, hold on to give one
Right one, win one to lose none
Story of a champion, sorry we are champions
We got one.

Women

[Verse 1]
Sexy, funny, smart, no I don't play those parts
But know that my art comes straight from the heart
Because when I rhyme, I'm never weaponless
I recite with the fury of 19 hundred feminists!
Never minaj, but I speak real witty
So pretty girls, makes me aw-shucks kind of like Mickey
When the eve is at hand, I grasp yours real tight
And of course leave you with a kiss goodnight
You see the twinkle in my left eye? Too polite?
Well I'd rather have this than to argue and fight
I heard that you should never fall in love with a poet
I'm not that or a rap act, just a guy and a way to show it
So I use this muse so maybe I can amuse
Or bemuse the fuse into going before I lose
Light it off ladies, you deserve this true,
Here are the matches: this is for you

[Chorus]
These boys keep coming up to me
Fronting like they want to meet
Flattering, but you've got to see
Want me, you gotta play for keeps x2

Don't come up to me with just talk
I want someone who can walk that walk
More than a penny for my thoughts
There's no price-tag, I can't be bought
So make it so I cannot
Forget about you

[Verse 2]
Marilyn Monroe flow, I go with a curtsy
Curse me, first see, I blow like the Windy City
Cold like snow, I know I'm foe to ice
But what I write is Mother Teresa Nice
Though coupled with the wrath of a hundred suffragettes
I beget the regrets on past sets like cigarettes
With a Mona Lisa smile, I charm the audience
Looks can kill? Well I might body it
I go Delano, Theodore, check my metaphor
But I run this behind the scene like Eleanor
Fly in Chinese is pronounced Fei
So beyond say I'm Tina Fey the way I word play
Mama told me there'd be days like this
So I took lessons out of that grocery list
And when she told me everyday to feel blessed
I know it's because she made me the best

[Chorus]
These boys keep coming up to me
Fronting like they want to meet
Flattering, but you've got to see
Want me, you gotta play for keeps x2

Don't come up to me with just talk
I want someone who can walk that walk
More than a penny for my thoughts
There's no price-tag, I can't be bought
So make it so I cannot
Forget about you

[Verse 3]
Impossible, improbable, going past unstoppable
Love is such a foolish thing: improvable
How remarkable are those articles?
Analyze until the demise of the last particle
I keep like O'keeffe, I'm a night time thief
Sneaking in the rose garden while you sleep
Wack lyrics are like Zubats, I only repel
But I can tell I know it like the sky's infinite inkwell
I'm in the top five like Chanel, but hell
I'm a beast on these books, sounds like a bell
I'm aerial as I move on past the verials
Don't have burials, I'm beyond secretarial
Sipping jasmine tea so I don't wake sleeping beauties
I'm getting more money than Zelda: rupies
So sheik as I geek on these tracks
But bring it back, my heart is arrest: cardiac

[Chorus]
These boys keep coming up to me
Fronting like they want to meet
Flattering, but you've got to see
Want me, you gotta play for keeps x2

Don't come up to me with just talk
I want someone who can walk that walk
More than a penny for my thoughts
There's no price-tag, I can't be bought
So make it so I cannot
Forget about you
