You playin? Then make a move. it’s so simple but we make the fakest faces for the camera like the muthafuckin lens is gonna save us told em before face the bass and stay gracious keep the towel i’ll never throw it and if it’s foul it’s gon’ be flagrant wake up soldier you fightin to be a placeholder livin in a blizzard how much colder can it get this isn’t that shit this isn’t imagery drunk alone writing friday night this is really me i ain’t got fans i got friends whether we’ve ever met of you never see me again you know me now mr just did it no one taught me how innovate to watch these lames try and jock the style i been in it long enough to know a gimmick when i see it on that underground slang i don’t talk it i be it to the roots on the streets or in the booth you know who to come to for the truth your move (Chorus)

Make Me 04:11
white collar blue collar this one’s for you holler back when these profits ask where the dollars at we tell em move side to side ladida with that irey vibe from the chi to the 415 cause live is live love is love and heat is heat visa vi what i see on the street and how it feed a beat i be that soul rebel with cold levels of flow my state of grace far from amazin just so you know if i don’t know your middle name then it’s really not deep if you ain’t swinging when you see me then it’s really not beef they hit me like what’s up def cold crushin the maiden voyage of this dubstep and wonderin what’s next leave cats buggin tuggin the subtext like if everybody’s really making it rain then why ain’t this place flood yet vet in the clutch tippin a cup and givin a fuck for all my people that just wanna get down until they gotta get up I hate my nine to five but I love my people for the way they get live everybody that came out to the show when you know damn well you have to work in the morning either a pea on a plate or a fly in the soup you’re the first out the gate or get trampled by the group of who’s who when life’s just a roof and a mattress the only thing certain is your death and the taxes relax kid, cause if you add what they subtracted wall Street said it was sufficient for the back rent the last cent spent on your gas and the twist is the warmth was supplied but they charged for the matches man, their aint no such thing as free speech when the Feds put the cap on the sea cause the spigot leaked thieves and no named slaves with no chains enraged theirs no chang more work and no raise Its strange how the bailout still wasn’t enough and in this broke ass economy I still sell drugs Fuck the Man cause he’s nothing but a thief and a thug Now repeat after me and turn it up till it bumps. (Chorus) I love my five to nine because there’s something feed the ego when the spotlight shine but they don’t see half of the work that goes in when you polishin the coal no they just see you holdin a gem so what are you a firefighter grant writer bus driver the man who takes the coats the janitor the ceo no i’m a human being with revolutionary dreams that doubles as a love machine everybody has that secretary with ass that they fantasize about to make a workday pass and everybody want an escape I bet even if you love your job you got a boss that you hate that love of currency will take you to slavery say i make my money my money don’t make me that’s why the motto at the end of the day be i make my money my money don’t make me (Chorus)

God Complex 04:29
today i woke up with a stranger in my head the devil on each shoulder an angel in my bed and a god complex the flesh is weak let the soul manifest i used to write with more meaning before i learned to write my sixteens you earn the most we care the least peace belly of the beast pounding pavement like fallen angels too busy bleeding through the pen we just step over the bodies those that don’t have inner peace have inner war but it kills the time been burning bridges since i realized my heroes were bullshit whether it’s trash to treasure or treasure to trash one man’s babylon is another man’s nirvana electricity God dreams and karma like its light heat and gravity that come from the same sun i made it a point not to have one to get to i’ll jump when i want and not through that hoop (Chorus) she hurts like a could’ve been never was does sometimes when you hear the wrong song with the right buzz like the feeling in your eyes when the light floods and the first thing you wanna do is close it tight shut baby don’t though this isn’t bright this is normal you just been in the dark lovely shade of combustible blew the spot with a spark she starts fires stick around for the finale hopscotchin’ through the back alleys tally up the score went to sleep on the bed so how we end up on the floor she was love she was sex i was a name on her checklist discussin life and deathwishes over breakfast (Chorus) this isn’t a love song in fact it’s hardly a song at all this is just me reading the writing on the wall call it sinner or saint based in how they face that temptation we care that they think we don’t care what they think so where’s the worth don’t disturb the surface of our picture perfect little petry dish with this we need to be free shit something along the lines of if you have to explain a joke it’s not funny you wanna get rid of somebody lend em money you wanna earn a mans respect then beat him half to death until there’s almost nothing left then give him back his breath you want everyone to give you their attention stop talking about yourself for a minute (Chorus)

Its custom dispursed into dust in the first introduction when my nerves purge gumption im earnin my bucks in vergin on construction deterring all obstruction from enduring small munchkins lie wording ya busted perturbing halls erupted disturbing all that’s subject to the art with artists love met try turning your musket towards the orange sunset for awards that’s whore unless the stores can endure gunless Eyes burnin what he touches reverbin the line on crutches determined to rhyme and cut this like Bird at the line in clutches (Chorus) diodic episodic rough ride stepping for a new dawn how run to do or die bottom rung be holdin on workin aint surviving, its just dying slow swim against the current but we caught up in the undertow drowning in compounded interest bills aint never paid barely alive yet still I step to this rhythm that never quits heated I cant forget that i feedin focal family flying out the fucking south side we be complete neo tribalist city junglist understand on the down beat of this concrete wilderness naturally dangerous openly heartless center city soulless break beat sustain us with nothing to lose motivated troop moves - man we feelin the sound come and check the bruise

about

"Prescience is dubstep (dyslexic, bass-heavy, two-step hip-hop beats) met with the ramblings of a Sacramento madman named DefEye. The album’s mood is dreamlike and meditative, in a confusing way. Chicago’s DJ Rise handles production keenly, with fully imagined and gritty execution (sometimes with an introduction, climax and resolution all within the span of one bar), while DefEye’s lyrics (“You can’t soundproof your clown suit”) are intelligently psychedelic. The album’s pace, which goes from slow to slower, rarely changes, so if you’re expecting a high-energy dance album, go to Miami. While the track “D.J.” is one of the dirtiest, most sinister cuts (in a good way) on the album, “Big Boy,” with minimalist production and a unique brand of turntablism, has enough momentum and personality to be a lost Living Legends cut. Hip-hop, a genre that’s eating itself alive, is in desperate need for something different and weird, and, in the end, Prescience is different and weird without trying too hard to be different and weird."
