Volume IV - "Escape Velocity" <br />lyrics <br />:::Verse 1::: <br />Ayo, I work for multi billion dollar multinational corporation; <br />For my day job, face… <br />Got a mask on, all day… <br />But not the kind that ya buy from the Halloween shop; <br />Or the Amazon dot com, nah… <br />It's the kinda that ya commandeer from years of tellin peers just what they wanna hear in they ear… <br />While ya veer to steer clear of the real deal; <br />In fear it might smear ya rep appeal… <br />Keep it formal, wanna seem normal… <br />Heavy on my face, it makes me speak awkward… <br />They still call me articulate, if they could only witness how I kick it as a lyricist; <br />Be meek, let your product and your work ethic speak; <br />'till its time to punch the clock and hit the street… <br />Then I take the wage slave mask off, put my Guy Fawkes mask on and another side of me is reborn… <br /> <br />:::Chorus::: <br />My persona, my persona, my persona's just the surface.... <br />My persona, my persona's, my persona's just a mask... <br />My persona, my persona wear it in the game, called life just to get by; <br />Just to stay fly, just to stay the same guy… Peter park, Bruce Wayne in a disguise… <br /> <br />:::Verse 2::: <br />I got a mask called the family man; <br />His thing is responsibility, significance and… <br />He's got a wife and a daughter… <br />They tend to spark the motion and he tend to set the order; <br />He tries to keep the cursin' to a minimum; <br />Experience convinced him that it's all about the Benjamin's … <br />He watches children's television programming; <br />And sits outside of fitting rooms, like "goddamn it"!!! <br />He pushes carts in the grocery stores… <br />Change diapers, cooks pancakes in the morning … <br />Sometimes he gets over protective; <br />Complains about the time and the money he invested… <br />wants to see 'em doin' better gettin' restless… <br />And he drinks alotta coffee to avoid other methods… <br />Of altering his consciousness, poppin' the family man off, put the Guy Fawkes on, he's Anonymous... <br /> <br />:::Chorus::: <br /> <br />:::Verse 3::: <br />And my favorite mask is called the P H O T O N; <br />Mind and his flow goes deeper than the ocean… <br />He speak about gnosis, too focused to hope, he's obsessed with the Opus… <br />He surrounds himself with artsy women and men that's hyper-rational; <br />Aesthetic and the radical… <br />Evolutionary psychologist and battle emcee; <br />That be meditating on the Mahdi… <br />The self guided, got love for the novice; <br />But his loyalty is to the process … <br />The discipline of his path is mathematics; <br />take shots at em, knocking off Clark Kent's glasses; <br />You's a dumb *****, swingin on a hologram; <br />ya cocky *** wanna slap box Hollow Man??? <br />I just Take the Pho mask off and he vanish, <br />Put on the guy Fawkes and I'm just another activist.... <br /> <br />:::Chorus 2x::: <br />credits <br />released November 22, 2011 <br />Prod. by Life & Death Productions <br />Album art by P.
