Seclusion

Uh, check
Secluded – I’m all alone, riding solo, nobody’s included,
With myself, enjoying my own company, a CEO without employees, I rule this
A student who’s tryna raise his grades high, theories, I prove ‘em
I get away, distance myself from the snakes, the Judas
They stab your back when you’re looking forth, you bleed like Julius,
In blue ones, not even Democratic, this political rap, I need to use it
So that some people don’t complain about feeling excluded
But then this rap is not for everyone,
They didn’t even realize that I’m rapping against my own lines
Although I’m rapping slow, they still don’t understand me, though
It becomes a crisis when I do what my name says I am with flows
But let me get back to this corner, let me close them doors
I need some meditation, some quiet peace, just leave me alone
No medication, I’m not sick, just leave me alone
I wanna concentrate on me, myself, and I; don’t call my phone,
Please, ‘cause I’m turning it off now
The slow rap, my slow jam sandwiches, I dish out
I want you to wonder what’s happening to the Razor now
I really wanna see everybody who cares now
But what I realized nowadays; they don’t listen what you rap
They rather hear the beat with 808s and spit a stupid verse
They rather turn up; they won’t even get it if you cuss at them
That’s why I listen to the slow raps alone, that’s why I am
Secluded – I get you away when I realize that you’ve been diluted,
Cause I’m concentrating, fire you one by one like these bullets
Some people don’t care of their lives, playing Russian Roulette
That’s why I’m tryna make this beautiful music to move ‘em
This music is for the soul, instead of drugs, please you can use it
To get that same feeling you get from the substance you’re abusing
But it differs cause you stay alive and keep moving, so inject this music
You’re feeling pain, feeling strange and feeling everything?
You’re feeling depressed, you feel alone, you feel like you should quit?
You feel like this world has left you in a dark place where there’s no light switch,
Where there’s nobody to talk to and every time, you’re just feeling sick?
Well, this the medication through the ears, just listen to this
You’ll feel better in no time, that’s one of the challenges,
That’s all the obstacles you’re faced with in life, and what they’re testing is
Whether you’re strong enough, whether you’ll survive in this
But what I realized nowadays people are not strong enough
They get an obstacle along the way but they’re just giving up
They rather let go, they rather stay down and never getting up
Even if they were too close to reaching goals,
They throw in the towel as if somebody in the shower told them “Help me out,
I wanna dry myself but I forgot it on the couch, I can’t be getting out.”
Depression is real, it’s a bigger deal
And most of them keep it to themselves, people decide to be
Secluded, and never speak to anybody else
It hurts because they can do with some help from people who care
This dark cloud needs to get away, we need sunshine
This track I made for anybody feeling stressed at this time
Actually, all of the time,
The victims of depression, suppression, oppression, when the mind is tryna fight the tension
Most of the time you’ll find me all alone, this boy be stressing
No place is safe in this world, everywhere be depressing,
Children starving, civil wars, people are dying
Thinking “What am I gonna eat next?” Instead of studying
Am I gon get the results of my tests without the money being paid,
Them people never help us; they look at us funny
But let me never get back there, ‘cause theses scars will never heal
What I realized – this life is a steepest hill
With height measured by the years you survived and lived
That’s why the day is always what you make it be, believe me
What I realized though; they don’t listen what you rap
But if they do, they rather hear you never mentioning a fact
They rather turn up; they won’t even get it if you cuss at them
But nothing will ever change the way I think when I write these tracks
People see obstacles in the way but they just giving up
They rather let go they, rather stay down and never getting up
So many songs I made stating facts, but personally
I think maybe I should keep em to myself, I just rather be secluded
Some of us, we hide the pain behind the smiles we’re showing off
Most of us, we find it hard to cope with a close person’s loss
You don’t see the tears, but I promise I’m crying all along
Tryna be a man, stand for myself, and trying hard to be strong
Even in a room full of people, sometimes, we feel alone
But I relieve myself by talking to these beats, I feel at home
Please, you other people, there’s many ways, excluding overdose
On how to deal with these issues, there’s people who can help you cope
I’m talking family, teachers, friends, preachers, and neighbours
‘Long as you trust the person, or maybe kneel down and say the prayers
Yeah, they can save your life (Yo, somebody needs you, man)
Never kill yourself, no suicide
(And another thing,)
When you approach me, make sure that I know you
Cause if I don’t, then I got issues; if I had a gun, I would blow you,
I told you that I don’t trust nobody, the more they know you, they’re on you
I watch my back against the wall, it might be disloyal
I think I’m paranoid, the trust I have is noncontagious,
Can’t be spreading evenly everywhere, especially on strangers
Unless you know me more than 10 years,
In my vocab, you don’t exist like the words I don’t know yet,
Don’t get me stressed
Like I said, man
People like to spend time in solitude, you know
Sometimes, it’s not because they like it,
It’s because of situations, man
Sometimes, you gotta go out and find somebody,
Somebody to talk to, people who will talk to you, man,
Who can heal you, so you can, you don’t overthink so much,
And think about things which are, you know, bad
So, try to find somebody who will help you, man
Peace

Earthquake Flow

Yeah, this is me Speeder Razor
This that Earthquake Flow
I’m ‘bout to drop the Earth on these niggas, man
(Forever Speeder Volume 3)
You’re looking at the rapper who be killing other rappers’ beats,
The same Speeder Razor who can’t be compared to other rappers,
Why you compare an elephant’s to a lion’s speed? (Why you do that?)
They should go lock me up ‘cause I bring murder to rappers (I’m still murderous)
These beats are feeling abused whenever I’m in the studio (I kill them)
Rappers leave these beats amused with that red nose (They are clowns)
Effortless, that’s how I do it, sipping up the Five Roses (Let me chill)
Unlike these rappers think they’re working hard and still joking
Blow! I’m still a C-4 in this rap shit
Speeder Razor, leaving them needing prosthetic legs,
All these people cannot stand this (Nah)
Got them shook with this Earthquake Flow when I bend this (Yo, they’re scared)
And make them sink under the ground, like Saturdays, I buried em (I killed them)
They know I be spitting the real shit, I’m an MC (I am)
With the P.B.M.G. (PayBack),
Shout out to Kay-Flow and Em-Cee, Es-Cay is my G (All my niggas)
Forever Speeder, the 7th tape, the Volume 3 (FSV3)
I’m still going, never slowing any time soon (Nah)
Cause I got the energy, the Monster, the Red Bull (I’m energetic)
Speaking of who? Man, I still miss my homie too (Rest in Peace, my nigga)
Feel like I should turn the hands of the clock back, and then go back to school
Thousand shoes but we can only fit in few (Only few)
You’ll never fit in mine (Never), I’ll never fit your shoes in
Cause it’s foolish comparing us not knowing our situations
I speak a couple languages and Pain – I speak it fluent (I speak Pain)
Look, that’s how I know that I am soulful,
That’s how I know that they don’t know what I be going through,
But everybody, like Judy, wanna be judging you
Cause they was born with hate in their blood like stomachs with the flukes
Better be careful,
Never let the hate be the only thing that occupies your mind,
That shit be parasitic too,
That shit gon eat you alive,
Cause you’re the host, you’re providing food
Ask how I know? Man, I just always knew
That’s why I’m tryna get you to stop self-imprisonment (Stop that)
You’re torturing yourself, you gon end up sad, worse, emotionless
You hate yourself so much, you tryna spread it everywhere
Like these stupid people making viruses to “Save the Earth”
That shit ain’t possible, you found it and you’ll leave it here (I swear)
Let Nature take Her course, let Her study it Herself
Like how I do for my degree, I ain’t even got my first one yet,
But it’s third degree how I’m killing them
When the drums are put aside, my charisma rises (It does)
Like the sun, but when I rhyme, everything crystallizes
Even you rappers’ easy to break, there’s no sympathizing
They sell you dreams, and you pay without checking prices
Yo, the music that I make, my shit is priceless
You know what it takes to make it timeless?
I got myself, unlike you rappers, you’re really spineless
I write a verse, put you in wrappers, leaving you lifeless
Yo! See what I did with the “W”? (You see that?)
I’m not a simpleton; bars that I spit, they will trouble you (They will trouble you!)
That’s what the Razor does, that’s when I’m cutting through
Even the hardest of steel, you steal my bars, I bury you!
I’ve said that before, so we circle back,
Like you didn’t catch that at all, you didn’t grapple that
Uh, for all that I’ve lost, I’m getting something else, but
To the people that I’ve lost, continue to rest up (Rest in Peace)
Blessed
That’s how I know that I am soulful (Yo, I know)
That’s how I know that they don’t know what I be going through (Man, you don’t know)
But everybody, like Judy, wanna be judging you
Cause they was born with hate in their blood like stomachs with the flukes
Better be careful,
Never let the hate be the only thing that occupies your mind,
That shit be parasitic too (It’s gon kill you)
That shit gon eat you alive,
Cause you’re the host, you’re providing food
Ask how I know? Man, I just always knew
(One more time, Razor)
That’s how I know that I am soulful (Yo, I know)
That’s how I know that they don’t know what I be going through (Man, they don’t know)
But everybody, like Judy, wanna be judging you
Cause they was born with hate in their blood like stomachs with the flukes (Ayo, they hate you)
Better be careful,
Never let the hate be the only thing that occupies your mind,
That shit be parasitic too
That shit gon eat you alive (For real),
Cause you’re the host, you’re providing food
(Well) Ask how I know? Man, I just always knew
Razor!
