The Annual 2013 Rap Up... My Grandfather passed away so it delayed the release a bit but here it is.... Hope yall dig it.
Pt. I:
2013 Get It
What it is, What it does, What it is, What it isn't
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed now the NSA probably got the whole crib wiretapped up
Leaked out by Edward Snowden, Blowing the Whistle lotta bit of cautions
Hunt him down like Rambo and Rocky, New C-Note, can't be copied UP
Gravity, Moonwalking, Hashtag our party, f*ckishima the hard way
& Russia said it's our way
Poor music dominated the charts cept for what Daft Punk and Macklemore recorded
Luminaries first nation-wide tour around
Got that silk road suit game and Bitcoin's a new style of
MONEY - Stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds
for Teachers in Brazil and everyone the whole world around
Trust me I'm and I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t sh*t hustler
Chasing dreams in 2013 with my black cats busting
Halfway round the world with a backpack, laptop, crushing
Bankers out here
they leaving us with nothing
We give it back to the people
Leave their hearts filled with something
Labels out here
they'll leave your ass with nothing
We gave it back to the people
And spread it across the country
(First time across the country)
Pt. II:
2013
Came like a thief and it went like a dream
Also lotta nightmarish scenes
Super Typhoons and Earthquakes in the Phillipines
NSA got the whole world tapped
Edward Snowden dropped dime on that
And Bradley Manning gonna stay in the trap
35 years for letting the cat out the body bag
Ain't that some sh*t
Obamacare site down with a glitch
iPhone 5 got your fingerprint
We couldn't shutdown the government
But Republicans did
First time ever we saw a Pope quit
Wonder what secrets in the head of Benedict
Now we got Pope Francis
Said that the
World taken over by The Walking Dead
And everyone watched the end of Breaking Bad
Cept me, Got NO TV
5 years strong, use my heart to see
Legalized love and Gay Marriage,
Iceland whole lotta fish turned dead
Drones over Pakistan continue to kill
Secret scanned in the new $100 bill
Nelson Mandela yo Rest in Peace
Liberate us in the winds your free
KXL blocked by native people
That pipeline seems like some pure evil
Truth came out bout Duck Dynasty
Dynasty of hate when we gonna see
EVerything's a lie let's just try to breathe
Before the whole thing crumbles off in the sea
We've come too far, to give up behind bars (Mandela)
So let's raise the bar and our hearts to the stars
Solar Flares burst from the Sun
I'm up all night for this song
She's up all night cause she's scarred
I'm up all night cause it's ugly
Solar Flares burst from the sun
Seems it's destined to come
Just like the Comet Ison
The people here left with nothing
We're up all night cause it's ugly
We're up all night left with nothing
We're up all night to get money
We're up all night cause we lovely
People rising up all around the planet
Kiev, Egypt, Brazil Standing
Up to the elite this is our planet
It belongs to all of us
Not just those who snatch it
Or Mayors in Tornto smoking Crack
Or Obama nother 4 years he the head Jack,
Comet flew over skies Russia
Putin put Obama in check a bunch a
times like Syrian chemical weapons
Assad is dead
That war keeps going and getting
Al Queada to fight
the Syrian army
Seems opposite our terror and foreign policy
We are all Trayvon, Justice is gone
George Zimmerman guilty, but done got off.
Better watch your back,
Don't get caught like a bomb on the side of the path
Or at the finish line of the Boston Marathon track
Offed those fools another false flag,
Like Christopher Dorner, burned him down in Big Bear
Like Blockbuster burned out like that comet in the air
But like South Sudan, man nobody cared
They wanted to see a white girl with a flat but tweaking it in the air
Workers don't Despair
We rising up everywhere
But what about Miley twerking up in the air
(Now we twerking everywhere)
How many people died on that night alone
Oklahoma hit hard by Twisters and Psyclones
And everybody did that Harlem Shake
And bumped this song like eight days a week
Drugs all up in Sports it seems
Spreading like wildfire in California trees
or a million Syrian child refugees
Or the heat and the cold in the air that we breathe
Solar Flares burst from the Sun
I'm up all night for this song
She's up all night cause she's scarred
I'm up all night cause it's ugly
Solar Flares burst from the sun
Seems it's destined to come
Just like the Comet Ison
The people here left with nothing
We're up all night cause it's ugly
We're up all night left with nothing
We're up all night to get money
We're up all night cause we lovely

Mother Nature seem to getting pretty mean
And the Typhoon in India
And all natural disasters ad infinitium
