The Scripture
04:11
|

(Verse 1 - Sagacious)
We’re young and fresh, and we’ve come to bless
Your ears with the CDs and songs we press
Our first impression? Nothing less than remarkable
I’ve got a verse obsession, that’s not yet in an article
Let my rhymes be a part of you, start a transformation
I need your support, I’m still on public transportation
I commit mistakes of sorts that provide no explanations
But I spit rhymes that coincide with your expectations
Cuz my words are designed to take your minds on an exploration
But what you heard in my rhymes is me showing signs of desperation
Just writting my rhymes, on a quest to my destination
It's right in my eyes, it should be no surprise that I'mma test the nations
Shake hands with powerful men, create demands from thousands them
Make plans now then extend
But I need your support, your dedication and commitment
So I can walk the talk, in preparation for my mission
(Hook)
With us in the picture, prepare for The Scripture
Where the music at? Where the music at?
With ya'll out the picture, all hail The Scripture!
Where the music at? Where the music at?
(Verse 2 - The Mask of God)
When I first heard hip-hop, I dug it
That's why I spit underground rap, not the shit you hear in public
ThenI rose above it using scrolls old and rusted
Reinvented my life with the scripture I discovered
It's addictive and I love it and I give it all I got and
I spit it oh-so-rugged to commit it to your conscience
Music's my religion, and I use it every minute
As a fuel and as a victim to my views that are so wicked
Don't confuse it when you liste - you can see me in 3D
And rest assured that I am what you hear on CD
A hungry freak, never tired of fighting and
Dreaming mad shit, riding the lightening
I'm Fitzgerald, Mencken and Salinger in one
On sampled beats, waiting for a challenger to come
And I'ma keep spitting till I'm viewed as the illest
Then turn my back on you like Judas or Dylan
(Verse 3)
[The Mask of God]
My style is vividly Dylanesque, ill when next
To your rhymes, villainous, killer when you feeling it
Realer than the realest is, picturesque, picture this
The Mask of God and Sagacious sitting at a single desk
Dualism to Myocardium's reflection
Stands connected by means that remain undetected
(Sagacious)
My music has split your brain into sections
Lit a flame of perceptions, that maintain their perfections
Stay the same or grow through pain and its lessons
This game of stresses, are tamed through its pressures
Till some one gets killed, jealousy turns to murder
So we have to grow and rebuild, learn to learn the
Sets of laws that govern effects and cause
Like tecks cause wars, and sex forms whores
Planes and jets saw through walls, pause; 9/11
There's no crime in heaven, so suicides the mind of the devil

Down With Us
03:53
|

(Verse 1 - Sagacious)
Or you can hang with me instead, we can ride around town
Ask about us, man, you can stay and sit down
You could say my ink's loud, cuz my lyrics bring crowds
And they hover at my feet till I leap out
A transportation of hands from the front to the back
A congregation that stands for what we want, and that's that
Get down cuz we're hot full of flame, our illumination
Get down we don't stop till we reign, our information
Get down and feel a shock through your brain, it's a revelation
Get down and you got to change, it's a transformation
Gotta be like us, see like us, breathe like us
And commit forever to stay like this
Who am I? It's your boy Sagacious
Here to penetrate the game with a facelift
It looks good, tastes good, you wanna taste this?
We get down in these places and screw around with the matrix
(Hook)
Get down with us (Yo yo yo!)
Brisbane and Canberra, getcha damn hands up!
Down with us! (Go go go!)
Come stay up all night, hang with us and you'll
Be (Alright) (Whoa!)
We got the beats for ya, come chill at the corner
Down with us (Yo!)
Come get down, down, down, down
(Come get down with us!)
(Verse 2 - The Mask Of God)
Fuck straight edge, I'ma say that shit now
Ask about us, man, it's not the way we get down
In a haze of pink clouds or a wave of linked crowns
That hover 'round my head till I lay and sink out
Fuck hallucinations, all I need's imagination
Psilocybin's fine but my mind can't write when wasted
I'll drop acid or chop hash but I'll settle for vodka
Bop to hip-hop and heavy metal and rock
Till the break of dawn, wake up lying naked on the floor
Take quotes from the night before, write'em, make a song
I live rap, at all times I can feel it running through my body
(And I was just 6 when The Beatles were beat by Killuminati)
Who am I? It's The Mask Of God
With bacardi and an itch for you to pass the bong
So dance along, forget the burden of The Scripture
And run from the popo like marital commitment
(Verse 3 - Sagacious)
I'll be hanging in your head, hanging with your friends
Talking like me, cuz my beats been banging what I said
Let my lyrics dwell in your mind as I'm selling my rhymes
I could take over any second now, there's no telling the time
And I'ma say this to all the haters
I'm one of the greatest in your playlist
I've already persuaded you to play this
So maybe I'll be graded as an A-list
(The Mask of God)
Get down with (chicka) me in particular
Fuck Sagacious, man! It's The Mask hitting ya
Till the last Stolichnaya gets up in my system
I'm ready for anything, bring it and I'll get with you
*Peeing* I ain't got no shame
For living my life the way I want, no way
Okay, our mother's aren't proud of us
But you could be the same, just get down down down
Come get

(Verse 1)
Karma keeps chasing me but I stay militant
Armed with sheets of razor blades to spray innocents
Palm away the fakes who say I ain't killing shit
An artist come to save the day from the villains
Spitting the same shit, day in, day out
In one ear, out the other ear, hear this man out
Hip-hop ain't dead yet, it's just hanging from a crucifix
Bleeding, repenting for the media's atrocious sins
We can't let those vultures win, we must drain the mainstream
Underground and then sprout the water back clean
And purified so you and I can utilise our music's vibes
To change lives without compromising with the monsters behind
The desks, they're in power, our goal is to empower
Those screaming in the crowds so
A revolution nears, I guess the solution is
Keep music polluting ears till the fucking suits sing
(Hook)
Fuck the world, we are restless men
I've been put here to impress the dead
Test the stresses the pressure fed
Live life like we like we're here to impress the dead
(Verse 2)
I'm at a point where I'm claustrophobic, lost and know it
I walk with hostile motives locked in focus
I'm locked and loaded, ready to fire upon enemies
Including myself for spitting lies forth when I speak
I've restored inner peace back to shattered fragments
When I was suicidal and lacked true battle tactics
Now you and I can interact through animal raps
And combat the attacks put forth by paniced actors
As some warn victory, some downfall
And come forth explicitly to drown their sorrow
With our shovels and our axes and bags on our backs with
Explosives, loaded so there's no coming back we
Spread out and scour the earth for the graves
That contain the ingredient authorities dismay
They'll abhor it in a race to slay any snickers
Because laughter looks like smoke in the May mornings of Winter
(Hook)
(Verse 3)
I'm deranged and armed, my clothes hiding thinly veiled scars
Of all those who've come against me, many came to fall
Those who stood and walked are my number one targets
Cuz this grudge harbours more hate than I can harness
I've gone from harmless and docile to heartless
And the more I learn about this fucking world, shit gets harder
Now I ain't slept in around four days
You can tell by the look in my eyes when I stare at your face
With that bloodshot, bloodcurdling, blood-fuelled expression
That lets you know that today I won't be messed with
I come here with a message: surrender all my rights
I need them back if either of us is to survive
I'm an artist of the life, now tarnished by the night
And I will kill, man, there's no pardons in my sight
This one's for Hunter, this Kingdom of Fear
Any one of you motherfuckers, bring it! I'm here...
(Hook)

Sagacious - The Prophecy
03:47
|
|||
(Intro)
Come on,
Come follow me, I’ll take you somewhere,
Somewhere you’ll like,
Heh. Come on. Let's go
(Verse 1)
Somewhere in our destinies there’s gonnna be an interception
Remember that the sword is a defensive and offensive weapon
New world order, be careful of the election
Be careful that your perception isn’t deception
And make sure you always learn lessons through your questions
Or you’re less than guessin’, but I guess the question
Is where will you be in the next oppression
When the stress is pressin’ and your best is tested
Will you be ready to fight? Will your wings take flight?
Will you rule over circumstance no matter the height?
Remember David made Goliath fall to defeat
In the same way I see giants fall to my feet
Your giant might be stress at school or your parents beating you
It could be an addiction or something that you do
Whatever it is let the sling shot swing
In the name of the Lord, I conquer again
(Hook)
There is no rockin’ me, is no knockin’ me
Will you do something for me? Get your life out of lost property
There is no toppin’ me, there is no is stoppin’ me
You want my story? I’ll give you the prophecy
(Verse 2)
Most rappers are materialistic, while I’m more realistic
Societies 'bout lipstick, while I see kids who haven’t even tried a biscuit
Not let's get a little more of a perspective
Now be the detective and tell me what’s detected
Don’t be a blinded man, let your mind expand
Who has the blueprints to life? The one that designed your hands
And put together all kinds of plans
The one that built piles of sand and miles of land
The same creator put purpose into your life
Look in the mirror and notice you’re not worthless, you’re alright
There may be challenges that might hold you back
But we live through Calenders and grow through that
Build up our characters and show where we’re at
So we show our relatives, what we know and how we act
Build your life and build it strong
Cuz we don’t live twice, and we don’t have long
(Hook)
(Verse 3)
You want to live like a king, you gotta act like a king
You wanna do something, you gotta do something
You can't be a bum and expect to get money
Just as you can't ignore the sun if you detect that its sunny
These facts are facts not just raps on tracks
Truth is revealed next to lies when they're back to back
Depending on where your brain is at, some just don't know how to act
If you build your life on things from society, it's bound to collapse
Sure you might change for a little bit but thousands relapse
So you gotta keep goin, you can't sit down and relax
You gotta keep flowing, pursuing those dreams
But be careful, look at who's on your team
Be smart, cuz life isn't always what it seems
But look in your heart and you'll find what it means
To have the gift of life, and live the best you can be
Live it right, or die with the rest unfree
(Hook)

(Verse 1 - The Mask of God)
When D2M merged, we turned philosophical
Learned reason and morals, skill earned from droppin' school
Now I'm droppin' knowledge, that's what you hoppin' too
Hot rhymes wrote in college, a portrait of a prophet's youth
Now I got the opportune moment to dispose of all opponents
With Royce 5'9" and Sagacious at my shoulder
With the patience of a soldier and the face of someone older
I'll appertain my whole into rap's Horatio Alger
Yeah man, the Ragged Dick of this rap game
From rags to riches, mere fans to victims
This the blueprint - just plans for building
A new world order based on The Scripture
Matching the description of your worst nightmare
Laws biased against you, man, we don't fight fair
And there ain't no light here; we livin' in darkness
And if die, don't believe it, like Andy Kaufman
(Hook)
Lights out! Get down, everybody out!
Right now! It's lights out!
Lights out! Get down, everybody out!
Right now! It's lights out!
(Verse 2 - Sagacious)
I just know the world would, hate me dead
Cuz they’d miss my rhymes from my, HB lead
Be wise, cuz it’s important to think
Or life'll ruin you like red turns white to pink
It's all in your head, and in the samples of what I spoke
If we were all eggs, you’d be scrambled I’d be poached
The world couldn’t wait to see me, I was two months premature
And when I created a CD, I wasn’t the same as you were
Cuz I grind like a mortar and pestle to be successful
Fools will test you, but don’t let em’ stress you
Yea you got skills, but you ain’t nothing special
I got the looks the style, plus I’m intellectual
The hooks are wild, and the verses technical
I keep em shook for a while, but my words are perpetual
Talk about my successes, I could claim about hundred
My brain is a conundrum, that still can’t harness it’s hunger
(Verse 3 - Royce Da 5'9")
Yes, yes, nigga wait your turn
Enter impatient, ashes after they burn
We put'em in anxious urns
Let me give it to you in laymens terms
Me? I'm what you would call a man
Be nice or you get the palm of my hand
The same hand I can ball, I can swing with
And leave you with a image your boys can't distinguish
The same hand with the ring, with the thing
And the flame and they're going blang blang that I came with
The same hand, I call up the boys on my team
With the bring noise and the plan is to end this
The same hand that's digging the ditch in your lawn
Belongs to the same trigger finger that itches
The same hand painting the picture
Of the rise and the fall of all who diss this
God, it's all part of the scripture

Gotta Have It
03:45
|
|||
(Verse 1 - The Mask Of God)
Since the first time I heard a rapper twist their words
I knew I had to do it and go through with all the work
I had to have that control over the language I'm speaking
Had to create the ultimate puzzle out of these pieces
I HAD to escape from the future of nine-to-fives
The Mask Of God was born as I began my rhyming life
If I was to survive, I had to be amongst the best
Naturally I gained the skills to stand above the rest
And contest with the vets over beats in the beefs
I have a mind to get money, but never business
Me and Jared met on the same path
Paved rhymes with the same hands to execute all the same plans
And it's insane, man! My passion for this shit
I live and breathe music, it's my atmosphere
I gave up all I had, went through all this pain for rap
And there's no changing that, man! I'm NEVER turning back!
(Hook)
(Verse 2 - Sagacious)
I've gotta have the life, the only life that's envisioned
Or whats the point of life, if thats not what I'm livin'
I use the gifts I was givin, to life up the vision
Everything I am and will be is up to this decision
I can't miss out on my chances to reach deeper
Where my lifestyle advances, I'm locked on like a heat seeker
Focused on goals, but not goal driven
I wrote this all, but it's my soul spittin'
These moments; you’ll never get them back, so don’t ever skip a track
And perhaps I'll forever spit these raps
These lyrics are history breakin', if my lips aren't mistaken
The answer to my destiny is in the mystery awaiting
But I'm at full capacity, so I'll never come up short
I gotta have it, so I need your support
Ride with me, vibe with me, 'til the end of time with me
So that my music doesn't die with me
(Hook)
(Verse 3 - D2M [Alternating - Sagacious/Mask])
Big dreams, big hopes, nice things, nice flows
Live free, die slow, give me my own
Time to expand, into my own man
Across the universe, I will find my own land
Haven't lost my fuel or thirst, I've gotta have it
I've gotta rule the earth, but I'm on a tangent
I want to win trophies, with no boasting
So I watch closely as life proceeds
So heres to hoping in the investments we've made
The success that we've paved through our messages on stage
Impressive when we reign, learn lessons from the sage
The truth of The Mask is infesting every page
The mission's to shine light to the hearts of the nations
The Scripture defies time and imparts its creations
Listen to our rhymes and enter a haven
Remember our sayings cuz we're sent as the saviours
(Hook)
