BP, one random year
What the hell happened to the captain of the
Pop culture rap? Stop, bolster that
Creativity they call me epitome
Hank McCoy I’m dank enjoy
Go attack with noise on a track annoyed
Run it back your boy shall never ever look back
…..run through safari and book that
Cook that i’m addicted to rap
I’m addicted to packing the diction to pack
Backpack full of recording gear i’m a detour the hearsay
Never fear they for the years they didn’t do
I don’t fit the new but I do enjoy some, I don’t ignore son
More fun less depression I ain’t messin when i
Say I felt inadequate now i’m trafficking classics
Nick Foles while you getting Rickrolled
Watching Nick Kroll listening to Rick Rose
...Ross, call me Michael Scott
Bump me in your Sebring when you drop the top
In December remember I’m not a pretender
I’m just a white boy from a state that’s slender
Delaware to Philadelphia my buzz is like
Competitor to Eagles, I’m a veteran, amigo
Yo, this is what?
Do a rap at a park I don’t pass out a tip cup
Throwback like a starter parka that zipped up
Simba, Mike Ditka
Hype get the, wait, I don’t give a
Damn anymore if ya like me, hyphe
Girls wanna write me, whirl and invite me
Out to a bottomless brunch with some waffles and rum
Bacon and egg on a bun
BP back better savor the fun
Lazy I’m none, crazy on some
Nights when I write on the page and I punch
...Lines, i’m a go so divine
Rappers talk about how they poking a dime
But they broke not a dime, hope for the best
Beg for attention from the whole internet
Quote me and bet you can Cope with the stress
Heart broke down losing hope or depressed
BP wasn’t being creative
I was so inundated with my confidence fading
I was stopping my brain cause it clotted with pain
And non stop in the rain until it clog up the drain, gotta
Plunge it, punch it, punch in, rush in
Crushin, rushin, crutches, hush it
And don’t shake your fist at foes
Because you the only one that be in control, yo
New York City still with a dude so gritty
Like the mascot in Philly shout to Billy
Penn on the top a city…
Got my pen and I jot all the feelings...yo
Shout my dudes up in Delly
Shout to the bodega, new deli
With employee from New Delhi, who ready
Get the confetti, better man like I bump Eddie
Tom Petty cause I won’t back down
With a quote profound i’m a go broke now
I ain't talking cash and I ain't balking fast
I’m covered over the city like a parking pass
I’m gonna walk and laugh while you on the rooftop bar
Staring at your cell phone stumbling the hell home
Mic check one two and to the three
I don’t do it for the Gram man I’m doing it for me

Scenario remix i like when beat kick
The rest can just leave quick i’m fresh like a speed stick
Impressive and ridiculous and you must
Decouple, great I make peeps chuckle
Lead hustle, need cheese like Chucky
I must be, rushing, repeat I’m crushing
Nineties like Willy Clinton, finally I got the vision
Blinding ‘em with precision, fighting my inhibitions
Iller than pre penicillin, my pen is chilling
In the hip hop Cooperstown, boot some clowns
Up out the damn booth and shout
At the top of my lungs, no Glock or a gun
I stopped having fun now I’m back in the ballpit
And unsubscribe and cut ties thats awkwerd
I’m talking awesome, like I’m Christoper Walkin
Competition is balkin when I’m dribbling crossing
Flossing no reference to oral medicine
Light Bulbs pop off Thomas Edison
Got a vibe with sentiment call up Vibe and let em get an exclusive
Like DJ Clue hits and let him in
Kept on compet-itin and bet winning
Slept on like bed linens but bread winnin
Smile on my face like Sesame Place
My mic’s a weapon embrace I make you step to the break beat
Take me to the river, drop me in the water like Shark Week
I got a fanbase of smart geeks and
Sporting fanatics, pop culture attics
Matthew Russell P up on a track yeah I’m back at it
Throwback like dad shoes I’m nutty like cashews
And rock nocturnal like racoons
Hurt em like Shaq Fu and flip em like hot cakes
Spittin a hot take, you spittin out lattes
Hot date with Tacate, tell her I rap well
Branch out routes stand out like a rat tail
You moving like snail mail I scoot down the handrail
At pennsylvania station, pen tucked in my waste is
Laced with, Legendary MCs that aren’t very trendy
But prepared my entry to this very set scene
Bury net memes
Cause me and MC Lars said that it was a dead scene
Hustle like an infield single
I got NFL followers call me Rob Riggle
Closer to Karl Malone than Post
Is that you, from Seinfeld Tribute? ...Oh
And Phish, frantic from my antics
So I blow the whole formula up and can it
OG Solo coming soon

Back with the Park Tour, made beats as a sophomore
Onboard swinging a broadsword
Chalkboard my penmanship awkward
Pick-it-up like a ball court, talk more
Like day time law court, Judy
Ooh he looney, daffy, tooney
Squad bad boy like Black Rob I have robbed
Beats of they briefcase give a half sob
Backdrop of Manhattan mascots
Black top, cab stop, and a snack shop
Stack lots of minutes and walk a block
Inhibit a free spirit and prohibit a broke image
Go get it kid and soak in it
While they happy hour for the thousandth hour
Go and route the power go announce the valor
Of the grind, New Amsterdam stand a mind, hi
Grown in a small state but my heart spacious
Outrageous, bounce in a spaceship
Proud when the bass hit rounding the bases
Shapeshift in the lab on the graveshift
Full send, I don’t need relief from the bullpen
Sick need an IV, U Penn
My two cents tie up the loose end no nuisance
New trend to lend track is a true friend
Make the crowd say (whoo)
Make ‘em proud say (whoo)
Bump it loud play (whoo)
Got no doubt cause I outweigh
Step into the spot like (whoo)
Reppin in the spotlight
Step into the spot like (whoo)
Never care if they not like
I never wanted to be something I wasn’t you see
Maybe you think there is a dozen of me;
There’s nothing to see I can’t see you erupt on the scene
So muzzle ya dream and go back to a comfortable scene
A couple of memes, so go sit back and chuckle and lean
Unbuckle your seat, and drive into bustling street
I’m shoveling reams of paper
...let me catch my breath and rep major
Lazor, Diplo, back with the sick flow
Lean on, Dream On like Aerosmith go
Steven Tyler breathing fire
Your hits are missing like William Byers
Cyphers...in the corner with a polo
They assume the dude cannot communicate
Too cold new flows I don’t need a loophole
To glow, ten front steps I don’t stoop low
Too grown for a kid sport nah kid I flip more
Yet never repped by the pitchfork
Step in the big door, Madmartigan with the heart again
Start a trend, blow and depart again
Willow and Bilbo
The only MC listening Phish streams and Wilco
Who still go gumptious, well rounded plumpness
Forrest Gumpness, park bench funkness

I had no choice but to do it, yes I was influenced by the truest
But Philadelphia helped me fuel it
Riding Septa back when that was called the R2
Graduate, fan of Anakin and and cartoons
Gallery Mall look back and recall
Market East station pacin did I miss the train to make it?
Feeling naked, racin, Illadeph half life
Like a halfpipe, getting gloomy grab a flashlight
Intern in the mix yearn
Making songs on the lunch break, long for the drum break
Often to pump fake, trigger shy hidden my
Vision I buried it, single tire chariot
Hilarious, when I serenade my secret
They would carry on and leave it like it’s Larry Vaungn and beaches
Married to my thesis, 5th and South Street
Stitching loud beats, roaming alone, honing a proud speech
11/30 two thousand eleven
A small venue with the loudest of brethren
Philly was special pre Philly Special sentimental
Influential throw me on stage and loop the instrumental
Nothing was accidental, shoutout to Xponential
The Key for writing me up in a quintessential
Piece...screaming peace moving from Broad Street
If you love something you set it free
Things Fall Apart, I feel the Tipping Point
Lock him in the studio with a mic
Cause on the real it might save his life, I’m at a different point
No shade to Simmons I cannot disappoint
Poles with Crisco...throws from Nick Foles
Down south where the wiz and the wit flow
Passing bike rentals reaching for a high level
City wide special, cop a wa pretzel
Kind like the Trivago guy
But I gotta competitor he resides inside
Lives a life to grind, things falling to the side
When your lady friend claiming you ain’t calling to say hi
Philadelphia, had my calling and my vibe
And you always got me covered, like a awning in the sky
Always sunny as I’m running and I’m hauling to the line
Send my all to the Hall, up from Broadway down to Vine

The Park Tour hitting Chi Town, never let me down
The College Dropout, changed me forever wow
Freshman impressin the lessons
Ye don’t care what people say, but I did I hate to say
Expectations of what they want you to be
What I lacked is what I wanted for me
In the dorm with a beat, not a lyric on sheet
A blank canvas I’m famished to fill it and flee
Real as can be, when I heard Through The Wire
Ooh admired everything that I’m that I’m not, everything that I am
Yeah I know I’m mixing up records but Ye delivered a lecture
That I could be better, faster, stronger
Far from home with his arsenal grown
He would hoard the beats the ignore defeat
For the Illinois streets, realest raw beats
For the pink polo pre ‘04 release
We would listen the leak in 2003
When Ye shouted at me that I didn’t have to fit in a box
I could hip I could hop
All I needed my heart, and my vision to rock
We would listen in lots, on the way to Borders Books & Music
Hook into it, cruising in my Honda you the rock and Blueprint
Working this graveshift...prior to people saying “basic”
I had no school spirit just Ye’ hits
The archbishop, the Pope John Paul of ya’ll
Jay verse over hook drop jaws
Dropped off...at the dining hall hungover not talk
I would rather sit slumped over
Questioning everything, one day I’ll fly away
Right away, cause I no longer wanna shy away
Chi today, even though I’m New York City-based
Had to make a stop off, pop off, spit it great
Listen Ye, this is for the 808 and Graduate
Late Registrate, the Throne, Home, and Runaway
Ton to say, but I gotta head into my workplace
Then it’s back to New York, Philly, and the first state
I sync the lyrics up, have a seat, take my cup
Half a sheet, masterpiece, ass in seats, ain’t enough
That’s why I hear new music and I just don’t be feelin it
Lyricism still alive they just don’t be dealin it
And I know they don’t play me in the damn club
Without Kanye or Slim, ain’t got a chance of
Making it this far, cheer me at lit bars
In two words BK, NY, Bed Stuy
Gotta hold my head high, even though my rent high
Steadfast breakfast, word hard, bed time
Hugging my, hustle used to listen in my brother’s ride
I Know I got angels watching me from the other side

CHORUS
Fly like a rocket man
Fly like a pilot’s hands
Fly like pigeon in midtown
Fly opposite of sit down
Fly like a camera drone
Fly like a santa in snow
Fly like you pegasis
Fly like the wicked witch
VERSE
Flyer than a piece of paper bearing my name
Got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain
Oh wait, oh ...I'm rapping Hov subconsciously
I guess it meant a lot to me
Young Buck with the buckshot...Unit and he proved it
Tony Yayo with exclusive
Ad libs in a prison cell
On a mixtape hit great, Lloyd on a sick tape
Nashville with a rap ill
Far from Catskills with this cat’s skills
That hill I’m the King like Hank
Walk a lot where blocks always stink like dank
Thanks, for the break beats and the great sneaks
Getting in paid in full in the eighties
Raise beats til they break the windows and
Three 6 mafia they my kinfolk
Alright it’s the verse time, and I
Always attack like the first time
Merk time after time like I’m Cyndi Lauper
Got no contract no pending offer
Fisher, Harrison, and Hamill
On the television channel
Back in station wagon panels
Back Seattle rocking flannel
Ken Griffey Junior, Pen Swiftly maneuver
Get Schwifty spit it super
Dude this verse feeling weak so far
It’s the worst that I wrote in the week so far
So far out...lay my cards out
Break my ow, but restart now
Fight bout when the mic’s out, ouch he should pipe down
Slaughterfest the counters I wipe down
(this is everyone’s favorite part of the beat, so I’m just gonna give it respect)
Counter cats rebound the track rewound
It back they ask what the sound is that? back
When I had a lunch pack and headphone jack
Not a cell phone chat in Slack app
Technology addicts they shopping for fabric in traffic
I’d rather be trafficked in sky reading Skymall i’ve had it
CHORUS
Fly like a rocket man
Fly like a pilot’s hands
Fly like pigeon in midtown
Fly opposite of sit down
Fly like a camera drone
Fly like a santa in snow
Fly like you pegasis
Fly like the wicked witch

They made me do it
Radio searching it for a person, pursue it
Power 99 prior 99 Problems
Gotta rob em the 36 Chamber opera droppin em
Spy on ‘em like binoculars i’m adopting this shopping list
Revelation like an apocalypse
I’m anonymously rhyming nifty every cent a nominal fee
Finally a prodigy the Park Tour is highway robbery
The way I rob the beat without a bribery
Saiding the rhymes on Ready To Die, the setting was live
He’s top 5 dead or alive, head of his time
“It was all a dream reading word up magazine
Salt N Pepa and Heavy D in the limousine”
Kick in the door wavin the 4-4
While RZA and guys in Staten I screaming out “It’s Yours”
“I bomb atomically” is borderline bible speak
I need another record get ‘em reunited finally
Ghostface put on Pretty Tony post haste
“Holla holla holla if you want to,” quote great
Nasir Memory Lane his Hennessey game
“Rappers I monkey flip em with the funky rhythm”
It Ain’t Hard to Tell, Run, D-M-C Raising Hell
Supreme Clientele, and Cuban Linx as well
I take 7 MCs put ‘em in a line
Moment of silence for the rest a that line
Respecting the time of Paul’s Boutique on Rivington Street
The grid is complete, now i’m ridding defeat, peace
Reasonable Doubt no leavin while I route I do it
Season in and season out I’m breathing in I’m breathing out
Get Rich or Die Tryin had the hits I’m not lyin
Many men wish death, missteps
I’m not trying to list all the mandatory hits
It was written in a sit, off the noggin from the hip, quick
Mos Def did it grotesque on the BET show set
Oh yes wit the GOAT guests
Shady and Black T up on the black and white screen
They would pass the mic, like Ad Roc and Mike D
MCA, listening to Check Ya Head all day
And Hello Nasty hella classic any day
Matty P don’t rattle me i did it gradually
And It ain't only NY rap that built up my anatomy

I wrote it down in a Chi town hotel
Flew it back to New York City on my coattails
Oh well, do a pop up show no tell
This is for my Pop Pop, all the folks tail
Hotel no sleep not a little bo peep
Park bench ardent all my hope reach
Peeps via wifi sippin Via fine grinds
Grown like a Chia re up I don’t seek the sidelines
Or the time-out bench, I ride out whence
the beat repeatedly repeat for five tenths of the evening
Be sharp like a bee sting
Beasting, art never fleeting
Feasting on the timeline, throwing high fives to the skyline
Rhymes in the pipeline
Part time with a sub par mic
but it’s nice when it flows to my mobile device
Heighten the sound downtown like Petula Clark
Boulevard broken dreams, humans are opening
Beer can, musical, restaurant, cubical
Shared workspaces with the standing desk workstations
Conference call I’m hopping off
I drop your jaw til ironic socks is off
I’m popping off another...brain tease
Colder than a brain freeze, Italian ice tasting
Rita’s wooder ice, or is it water ice?
Hard to type, fiddling United flight middle seat
Awkward type listening...kicks flow to my kicks
Oh my, goodbye yellow brick road
Got my brain, got my heart, got my courage so I flourish
Not emburrissed, bare with me gimme all the damn porridge
I’m well learned a swell sermon,
You panic and pop a xanax, the generic version
B Rabbit mixed in with Ben Savage with speech habits
Keep at it, wreak havoc, leap out of weak habits
You have a disc in your Discman, it has to be this, man
No bluffing, throwback like a Huffy with kickstand
Millennials they tell me it’s lit, man
Like Jordan and Pippen, excel like I’m Nick Van
I hit them...like a Turkey Hill Graham Slam
Verses kill bam bam searching til grandstand hands clap
Jam packed like January 1 gym rats
He look like Matthew Perry if he did rap
Mismatch, break it like a Kit Kat
Jacksonville askin “where the rap about a Nick at?”
Kick back, all I want is Tim Westwood raps
A nice flat where my headboard at
I get bored at elaborate functions and advocate luncheons
I’m opting for a polished production

You said you never heard of it, I had to surface it
The latest Park Tour stop i ain’t determine it
You could kick it at the gardens up in Boston
You could rip at the Barton Springs in Austin
You could do it big in Texas with a Dallas rap
Hit the desert up in Phoenix where the cactus at
You could spit a mellow tone up at the Yellowstone
But I tell ‘em “no” and roll up to my Dela home
Zingo’s Shop N Bag, I took my garment bag
and packed a microphone alone, left my apartment, snagged
The Port Authority Greyhound that routed to K Town
And leapt in a Septa that went to Browntown
Did you leave Della, become a mean fella?
No fella, I floated and wrote a novella
Coachella, rather rep at the Firefly
Propel ya, never leaving you high and dry
Suki Hana sample takers, Union Street bakers
Bravehearts at the Newport Skate Park
Elsmere Wawa during Hoagiefest
Movies 10 with your friends is a cozy nest
Brandywine State Creek down to Main Street
Rehoboth sun tan, Gravitron at Funland
Eating up a Nick-o-boli, Border Cafe guacamole
Hit the casino, Mrs Robino’s Ravioli...
Funscape caught a rough break
Went the route of Zino’s Pizza, thankfully we still got a Rita’s
Blendini, Saint Matthew’s rest easy
Pink Cadillac McDonalds, Apple Mac store
Christiana Mall, Monkey House tree fall
Fun day with a Charcoal Pit sundae
YMCA racquetball livin
Bell Buoy down in Dewey, get a biscuit up at Walt’s Chicken
Newark out of town students know nothing
Only Main Street, otherwise they go bluffing
They don’t know Brandywine Zoo goat petting
All they know is Klondike and the bro settings
Bravo, grab a pizza at the Grotto
“A place to be somebody,” that’s the motto
New Castle, I don’t know nothing bout Sussex
All i know is Blue Rocks always bring the ruckus
Lobby Casapulla’s over Capriotti’s
I be Pea Patch Island vibing, Del Park horse riding
Haunted Ride Rehoboth boardwalk
Buying Jimmy John’s “pipin hot” orders when you cross border
People lobby Christiana over Concord many
Conquered the Creek, festivals on the street,
Saint Anthony’s, Serpes, Shop Rite turkeys
Illadelph jerseys, Route 1 journeys

The Park Tour started as a conversation in a Shake Shack
With me and my brother Paul from way back
Prepping for a trek into Camden
The Phish show, Patco, ten minute jammin
Different cities and parks, different rhythms with heart
Different concepts, different art,
I was crammed in the pool drive, riding in silence
Crossing the Benny, closing my eyelids
Back to the island of skyscrapers and fly neighbors
High labor, stock traders, and Don Drapers
Rest later and rep now, retirement sounds lame
and so does vacation when you ain’t found aim
It’s Game time, that was Dre’s favorite line,
back when Proof was in the booth and I recited his lines,
Got a license to grind, got a license to ill,
Gotta reach for the thesis I’m writing it still…matic
Back at it, napped on like craftmatic
Laptop rap like Lars on his Mac tablet
Pass fabric on streets of fashion avenue
Back to the kips bay studio in the lab at two
Shout to the world famous one and only bangers crew
To every single city that we travel to
Imagine you, never met one another
Now we rep making sets taking steps wit you brothers
and the sun shines with you shout to Vida Blue
Most events aren’t planned I guess that’s kinda true
What is hip hop? Non stop mistakes
Looped breaks and mixtapes
Puff Daddy and Biggy, Fat Joseph and Remy
Doc Drizzy and Jimmy, Lil Ceaser and Kimmy
Slim Shady and Bizzy, Rick Rose and Drizzy
Aaliyah and Missy, Kan-yeezy and Nicky
On a monster verse, this is not the first
not the last and not the birth,
Rock the earth, walk the earth like Sam Jackson
Chalk the work and plan action
Constant state of lit, rhymes I made ‘em quick
Times that they depict, I can’t relate to it
Ran like Jadakiss, jammed on basic kits
Slam like or Pogs or Onyx honestly breaking in
Taking erasers to white boards, ain’t seen me in hype Source columns
or cool clubs flossing four bottles
More likely to see me up at Gregory’s Coffee
Or at the shore with my family purchasing toffee
Just a child of the north east United States
with my shoes tied up laced and I find it great
Find ya place kid you got it...believe me
It ain’t easy peasy but you can fly like ET
Don’t let em defeat thee, practice every evening
Mastering, achieving fractions every evening,
No encore, no claps no cheers
The game ain’t over this the beginning of my career, yeah
and the sun shines with you shout to Vida Blue
Most events aren’t planned I guess that’s kinda true
What is hip hop? Non stop mistakes
Looped breaks and mixtapes
