I wanna live fast, then die old / Fly through different time zones Circle the whole world and back, then back again until I'm old Do this with my eyes closed, like I rhyme with blindfolds Blew up over night like drunk texting my ex's iPhone So get the message or don't, cause either you will or either you won't Remember when my only focus was dopiness, delivering lyrical smoke Spiritual high, I have arrived, look in my eyes, there you will see I'm stopping for nothing cause nothing can stop me, not even my family And in truth, I don't blame them, cause dreams are unrealistic Rather die knowing I tried and I failed, than living a life without vision And don't expect them to understand my plans demand ambition Steady your aim when you shoot for the stars, go beyond your limits I'm on a mission from God like Jake & Elroy The type to be smoking in the stairwell with the bellboys Hell boy, you and I are no equal All the money in the world don't mean a thing without the people And to think I've seen greed form the evil in men Some I thought of as partners, and some I thought of as friends But what's important to them is no longer of my concern All I know, is every day they're lessons to learn And if they wanna spend they life as a villain, go ahead The bad guys always die long after they are dead But with that said, I'll let you know, the trees you climb are hollow And just because a river runs, don't mean that it will follow We are born alone, we die alone, but somewhere in the ether We are tethered together in frequencies of the speaker Even if you had it all, don't think it would please you Even if it took a lifetime, still hope it would reach you Hope your pieces fall in place, cause I used to believe in hustle But, I had to back away cause all I was seeing was trouble From the rubble I stood, shook the dirt off my shoulders Seem to lose more friends everyday I get older I keep my focus though, working everyday on my portfolio That ride or die, bullshit, take it to the rodeo An open/closed case, no days to waste I got more mics to kill, bigger demons to slay Keep your hatred at bay, and remember what you do it for Music used to be for fun, used to be the only cure To the person we don't know no more Only wrote this with love, Sincerely Yours, It's Billy

CHORUS: No mercy, no peace, that's the code on the streets (As we move toward, New World Order) Drought and disease are no longer overseas (As we move toward, New World Order) Corrupt politicans and the crooked police (As we move toward, New World Order) Families grief as the killers walk free (As we move toward, New World Order) (v1) Living in a world where the cops could rob you Grew up with toy guns playing cops and robbers Quota is a motive, got a lock on the Projects Profit-oriented, the more relentless the cop is Please state your complaint Like privatized prisons ain't a hint we are living in police states Military equipment is in place And if you thought it was safe, it ain't, get your war paint Cause the bigger fucking picture's at play And you may not see what it is at stake And you maybe with a crowd that decides on day Who they throw in the sea, who they burn at stake By then it's too late, hide your face child Don't need a Facebook page to fit a profile Cause when they point fingers, and pull they're triggers They only figure you were acting kinda hostile (Chorus) (Bridge) They've got the whole world in their hands… (4x) (v2) These talking heads, they puppets of propaganda Property of a company, reporting to their handlers Proprietors of hatred, we allow to set standards Who manufacture lies while they're live on camera With more answers, questions raised Like how'd we ever get ourselves here in the first place Shorter wages but they lengthen our workdays Control the language so you cannot catch the wordplay Poison airwaves with a violent ideology Mark the people terrorists to terrify society Use war and disease as a form of commodity Showcase the jewels but hide away their atrocities And gather information, they do it so quietly They laugh at the fact that you think you have privacy Sign away your life on a dotted line Terms and conditions, they may apply (with) (Chorus)

(v1) Too often told my whole life is ahead of me Low and behold, the totem pole grows steadily Lord only knows, can be my own worst enemy All of my foes are in the mirror standing next to me Choking my throat, as I'm approaching my destiny Couple swings at my goals, the closer I get to entropy By any and by all means necessary Son of a gun, so the BANG is hereditary But on this is the day we become legendary Billy Conahan unlike my contemporaries I'm from Queens, I'm going to make it very clear Of where I am from, and why it has a thousand cemeteries Cause rappers think they sick like hypochrondriacs But never leave a witness like the Zodiac Killer like a Kodak picture of a Kodiak With no one there to hold me back (CHORUS) And I wanna know if you catch it, can you feel it when it's going round? If only for a second, do your feet ever leave the ground? (and they say) Oh you need some restraining! But, do I need to explain it? That when I MC, this is the way that it's going down (v2) I put a pistol and a rhyme book on the same shelf As a man of my caliber takes the same shells Aim well, my story has yet to fade Astoria representing, my story has yet to change I'm more or less of the same / man I was when I came The manner in which I rearranged the patterns on the page I spit, spat, and spatter from a ladder where I paint You chit-chat, and you chatter from a rafter where you are chained I'm after what you have salvaged, i'm savage in all my ways A bastard working his magic, the Master's a basket case I've had it with all these rappers, jacking up all my space They acting as if they just happened upon a stage I'd rather have been an animal caged, then escaped Deranged, Hannibal Lector eating your face Manic depressive, obsessive in my trade My objective, captivate the night, seize the day (chorus) (v3) Not off to a bad start Sometimes you hit a wall like it was NASCAR But you gotta EarnHeart to go faster Start to finish, I was born to be a track star Ignite passion off keys like a flat sharp Been to hell and back, and all within my backyard I didn't bring a lunch cause I packed bars To catch'em all, poke ball, I'm a Master Spit a cappella when there is no mic I'm like four rappers in one, but that's no hype Line'em up, till they in my line of sight Cause they couldn't make the green in the lime-est of light Peace to Silent Knight, cause the Line-Up's tight The Headliner, the lineage is right The minute that I spit it, I was destined to be liked But that's the gift and the curse of my first life (Chorus)
