Artist: Dark Prince Album: @whoisDarkPrince EP Song: A Slice of Life Typed by: DP [Dark Prince] I came into this game wanting more fame than Puff Then I realized Puff fame ain't enough Cuz after all the models cumming to sip and swallow I'll still be just as hollow as the bottles that they drunk Room smelling like a skunk, mom saying clean it doesn't know I'm weeded most days in the month It ain't like I'm feindin, I just feel I need it But one day ima leave it though I'm not in any rush except the one it gives me, never liked being tipsy We fighting if you diss me but you niggas couldnt hit me beat me or defeat me cuz I moving just like Sweet Pea and speaking so uniquely over instrumentals CDs This goes out to Didi, Young Kerv and Dimi My brothers in the struggle, know I love u, if u need me ya know how to reach me better than the ones who teach me Sorry I meant taught me, cuz I preferred to teach me Couldn't pay tuition, cost of living started building and I couldn't get assistance cuz my credit scored too poorly So I left college shortly and I crept right out the cave Shattered all the shackles, made the shadows run away Now the truths apparent, I do this for my parents who all my life worked at night just so we can manage Roaches on the floor when I crept in after dawn, mice moving back and forth in the ceiling, I can hear em'

Judge1 Typed by: DP [Judge1] Live on set, live when I’m in the deck Push power, flex…cuz we’re coming next Jewels buried deep, marked with an X Unearthed the hot Sh*t, y’all ain’t ready yet My flames scorch the surface & burn with purpose So f*ck who you earn with, spit some words, kid Globe-trot bangin’ beats, you pop & lock and still claim U street… please stop Team stomps, with no breaks, it’s straight business And the base hits, shaking, move buildings Guard your heart, guard women & children The effect high, the best at word-dealing I Hulk-crush you with this mind-muscle Dark Prince rolls… Dizz tracks cut you Get a little taste of some fine seasons You lifted… trippin’ like you’re dreamin’ Reality is where that beast comes in I’m schemin’ on life, tool up if you’re nice Blinded by the lights, but it don’t sound right Man, MUSIC…it don’t take Sh*t to do it My mind and pen…be the blueprint.. [Dark Prince] I think about a slaughter when I think about the game I think about the horror but I think about the fame I think about the pain, I feel it's made to order I try to move beyond it, I just wanna wade in the water ona different echelon or plane Aloft, I'm off, to terrorize your train, of thought at costs that jeopardize your name Ill bash you niggas in Blast you niggas thin I run around amazed at the fact you niggas spit But I don't get enraged I just craft some iller hits My minds a syndicate of crime that's literate and I don't think the words you shout that be coming out ya mouth really hold some clout Folk tales of ya coke sales, lying bout ya chrome wheels or your hoe tales in them hotels then your hoe tells the world, now she's famous Unless you put a gag on her mouth just like Ye' did Too many gay actors rapping and shit Ya hits flake cuz ya spit fake, acting and shit Wild guess here, you call me when you grow some fucking chest hair I'm something like Michael, you can pick anyone I'm sorry but ya moneys young and I don't fuck wit jail bait You mimic what you think is fun a gimmick with a fanbase I'll kick you til you're pissing blood and punch you til my hand breaks Uh, I'm something like Ray Robinson I'm dominant and knocking out my prey Honestly I'm ominous I hide above the stage Phantom of the opera throwing tantrums on the page Seek asylum in the beat, let the world see that I'm sane.

Artist: Dark Prince Album: @whoisDarkPrince EP Song: Replay Typed by: DP [Dark Prince] The night is cold and I'm so all alone Sitting in my home, staring at my microphone Thinking of the throne and the fact that its vacant If only I can make it, ill be the King's replacement (Dark Prince) Am I too old to give the game some new prose? Am I too bright to knock out just a few lights? Just gimme 5 mics, I'm breaking out this hive like Flow like a butterfly, sting like I'm Lonnie Lynn Bring ya favorite rapper to my ring and ill body him and snatch his mic with his hand still holding it Grab him by his throat and pinch then just dispose of him "The golden child closed them in wit more style then them older men"(NaS) Think up a strategy to challenge me, ill happily tie both my hands behind my back blindfolded & just rap for weeks And let the bars rape him, ill let Allah take him I'm just a czar taking a shit on the throne, waiting [Dark Prince] But I'm not trynna battle, ill give ya fill of cattle on this album but for now I'm trynna bring us outward I sit and ponder and think that were goners if these young kids with dumb hits fill up our genre No sense of honor or fear of karma Get low off marijuana then try to harm ya The games full of clowns with fake smiles and black faces A bunch of coons and buffoons who act on rap stages They brought their soul to the devil and used it as a payment I brought my soul to a temple and begged the Lord to save it And now the flow is sacred, I'm ready to show my greatness But I ain't getting on my knees to fucking blow to make it I'll stick my sword thru my feet to stand for my beliefs and if I meet defeat ill grit my teeth and just prepare to face it Cuz I dont know what fate is I just know I can't escape it So I guess ill just embrace it cuz I know the fans will play this [Dark Prince] Each day MCs make the same songs over It hurts to hear, I fear they taking our culture in a direction that wasnt destined by our elders cuz i distinctly remember when Preme was on When Doug was Fresh and Run DMC was strong the seamless bond between soul and beat is lost Swapped for greed to feed Mcs at costs that auction off their souls for a piece and watch Chained by the flow, which only promotes the pain constrained by the flow, cuz all of the corporate lames The fames overrated I negate it chose to walk the path of pride to try and resurrect hip-hop So let my shit knock nigga, and put it on Replay

Artist: Dark Prince Album: @whoisDarkPrince EP Song: Lover Lover feat Amelia Ali Typed by: DP [Dark Prince] Lover lover can I be the one you call when you're tweaking and you're fiendin and ure gong thru withdrawal? Cuz when I'm in those draws alls right in your universe I can see it in your stars, this big bangs what you truly thirst I know it usually hurts, I'm fucking with ya heart We were troubled from the start cuz I was acting so unruly first I swear I'm cruelly cursed cuz love doesn't love me And all the women perfect for me never seem to want me But let's have it, if its too much we'll cap it If its hubris you'll gag it, if its humorous I'll laugh it Cuz I just wanna be the one you comfort under covers cuz I (love ya)... Lover lover can I be the place you go to when the world is trynna mold u but ure trynna find the old u? Our love is so vintage cuz when we in the sack, you would always throw it back like a bunch of brides grinning I take my time with it when I hit my stride in it I can see your eyes twitching when I put my spine in it A little wine sipping when we feel the highs slipping then I breach your mind sifting thru debris wishing I could find a little bit of love there Lover can we run where the wild things are and have a little bit of lunch there? Cuz I just have a hunch there's a chance we'll have some fun there cuz I (love ya)... Lover lover can I be the one you write when ure shaking through the night & ure aching for my pipe Despite the greener grass ill never leave ya ass without any seteva cuz that just would be too rash I'm taking you to heights the Wright brothers couldn't sight cuz you know I'm so wrong for ya...

Artist: Dark Prince Album: @whoisDarkPrince EP Song: In The Zone Typed by: DP [Dark Prince] I can be aggressive like Artest is when im stressin Ill punch a nigga in the face until I get ejected I'm sick and tired of this place Im looking for the exit cuz depression feels like outer space and it seems so endless It feels like Im drowning and I don’t think I'll make it Til God passes me the cup but I don’t wanna take it Cuz life is so abrasive that the pain becomes invasive & the moment that you own it ure controlled & can't escape it I wanna roam, but I ain't trynna pay for it I'm in a zone, trynna find my way forward [Bridge] I know ya probably out there wondering where's Vladimir But he's ok, he's just on another stratosphere So if you hit him on his phone and you get a dial tone Don't worry, he's just chilling in his zone [Chorus] Im in the zone homie leave me alone and if you see me or you meet me nigga greet me and go I'm too uneasy, if you need me you can reach at home Cuz when I be up in the zone Im defensive and cold Uh, yea, I'm defensive and cold cuz when I be up in the zone I'm defensive and cold [Dark Prince] I can't even keep a 9-5 before I lose it in a day or two or keep a girl cuz I always gotta chase a few Plus I'm hooked on weed so I gotta cop an eighth or two and take a few hits after work when my day is thru Can't fight this feeling cuz I seem to always lose And anytime I'm willing I succumb to the abuse It feels like there's a noose, surrounding my emotions Pulling tighter til I'm choking and my heart is black and blues I'm on a cold train (Coltrane) to work, unaware of where my life's going, listening to John Mayer Sick and tired of despair and my unanswered prayers Trying hard not to fail but I can't control the fear And all these 9-5s have me breaking out in hives cuz I only got a life so I gotta do it right I think of all my plight and how I really wanna make it I'm hoping that this microphone can put my stars adjacent to one another, I don't wanna be up in the basement of my mother's house, like a slouch, waiting & complacent I wanna roam, but I ain't trynna pay for it I'm in a zone, trynna find my way forward [Bridge] [Chorus] [Dark Prince] Set adrift on memories of bliss as I sit and reminisce on the chicks I used to kiss most of them I tricked til I kicked them to the curb even though I gave my word that we’d never ever split Now I’m on the brink of insanity and think that the man in me is shit cuz my vanity has just went and sunk another ship, which has me on the harbor getting ravaged by the water of the sorrow that I’m in I wanna roam, but I ain't trynna pay for it I'm in a zone, trynna find my way forward [Bridge] [Chorus]
