I need a jet stream pattern assessment, go get it | |
And tell me the direction that the fuel tank is headed | |
Scram jet packs straps attached to my back | |
Rocket exhaust melt skin off like wet wax | |
Call sign Tom Cat, master ace of aerial combat | |
I double-time out to the tarmac | |
Fog covers the launch pad | |
Order ATC to fall back, but maintain visual contacts | |
Switch to radar, innovation navigational star map | |
I won't need to travel beyond that | |
My jet contrails so long that, | |
It can be seen in time zones eight hours apart by NORAD | |
Bow waves are made when I sweep my arms back | |
To fast track to the lunar surface's dark patch | |
The darkest part of the Moon where ISS2 was parked at | |
Inside onyx black alien artifacts | |
Well guarded in the event of a chartered attack | |
The outpost is nothing more than a trap | |
The red planet approach close, I know perigee and impact | |
Phobos is controlled by the Dracs | |
Deimos is the most underrated of the pack | |
It decimates NEA's more than double its mass | |
A solar max melts polar caps | |
I notice that think tanks with closed minds miss unknown facts | |
Satellites track and match the stats, statistics start to stack | |
I'm a man of science, not rap | |
With actionable impulse to act when I can’t relax | |
I work hard but play harder in fact | |
My rose garden attracts rats, | |
I sit back and listen to jazz and smoke hash in a mineral bath | |
I meditate, slightly awake, the moon rays interpermeate my physical state | |
I gaze into space | |
The light waves race and shift shape, colors escape | |
I concentrate on eight frequency rates | |
The body begins to numb as the spirit elevates | |
But wait, I’m interrupted by a buzzer at my front gate | |
Closed circuit surveillance showed me a face | |
How entertaining, special agents came to visit my estate | |
“Miss Moneypenny, bring me a plate, a cup of tea, and my terry-cloth robe, | |
Then show them in to me, I’ll wait” | |
He walked in with a blank face, I calmly remarked, “You’re late” | |
He responded with a strong handshake | |
Miss Moneypenny returned with eggs and pancakes | |
I offered them a seat, standing up, looked so out of place | |
He kindly obliged, but the other two continued to stand | |
Folded their hands, and gave me the nod | |
The silence was so profound, that even soft sound seems loud | |
With ambient music in the background | |
I slurped when I sipped my tea, it was hot | |
I chomped when I chewed my chow, it was not | |
In slow motion the silence was broken, you could hear a pin drop | |
He said, “You cannot save Hip Hop” | |
I said why not? I sold mixtapes to buy stock | |
I’ve been researching and developing a spitbox | |
Rap is deeply rooted in the music generation | |
I can prove it, but it doesn’t constitute publication | |
I swear the Great Bear entered the Dragon’s Lair | |
I was there in the center of St. Petersburg Square | |
Assigned as a silent observer, but I witnessed a murder | |
Took a picture of the body and a burner | |
Circa the time, you called me from Burma | |
In Port Charlotte Florida, say you were in a coastal corridor | |
And that’s what you call help? | |
Eight months of Camp Kill Ya’ Self couldn’t rehabilitate what I felt | |
And now, here you are, in my backyard | |
Accusing me for being an outlaw for my bars? | |
I ain’t got nothing for ya, I’ll call my controller, | |
You call your employers, they can talk to my lawyers | |
He got up, and turned his back on me and said, “I’ll be back homie” | |
I said you better bring an army | |
He said, “You don’t want war” | |
I called Moneypenny on the intercom and said, “Baby, show them to the door” | |
To be continued, stay tuned for more | |
