(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)

(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

(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)

about

D2M's debut EP, featuring a guest appearance from Detroit legend Royce Da 5'9" & production from Anno Domini, 2Deep, & more!

A statement:
I believe art should belong to everyone. Therefore, if ever there is a cost associated with the digital reproduction of my music for non-commercial purposes, you have my blessings to board the boat that rocked. Physical & logistical costs, as well as reserving the right to earn a day's pay squarely - by way of all the inevitable accoutrements that come with a 'product' or an 'experience' - are other matters. For those who appreciate that outlook but would like to give to the cause of the living artist, that option is available with each download. In the name of transparency, all money currently made is to be spent - in the most niggardly fashion feasible - on obtaining a plot of land & a shipping container to reside in. That & funding the $200/day cocaine habit that's my sure ticket there.
