Capital Murder

I need to leave here
I used to wanna be God's messenger vs everybody
Fuck a bidness, this a greater under pressure hobby
Fuck a dollar amount when it's bodies to count
Holler and I'll be the one to get you out of the drought
Cus I keep a brick of dope in my written quotes
Enough to get a load coast to coast on the biggest boat
Body of work like the hoes in the centerfolds
Hustle, I don't play boy, money turning into gold
Detroit soldiers, a dummy get enlisted for
The army but our streets have you running from our city tropes
Talking guns, drugs, hoes, cars, bums, thugs
Art, soul, funds, old, east, west, joy rd
North end, HP, Southwest, don't go
Where you end and begin at, nigga won't know
So just stick to the script when you enter the strip
This is a tip, cus my city make yo city the bitch
And I'm still God like with an odd sight
In a dog fight I could kill you with a palm strike
Swag on the Don Lord got the Don nice
I could put up 45 on an off night
My cloth tight, these raw nikes and off white
D fitted got my D image looking all ice
So cold in the D, we the frost bite
Double up and double back if the cost right
We keep it trendy, the city where every penny
Is ended with getting litty, some henny or seeing titties
Niggas will catch you slipping, you eating, you see the envy
The trigger that got you dipping, and fleeing to leave the city
On yo ass if you coming to show disrespect
But if you breaking bread, splitting pros getting checks
We invite you to the murder capital
The murder mitten where you splitting capital
Or these niggas after you

Counter Strike

Everybody see a competitor til' they laying flat
They can't relax with aching backs from amazing raps
I'm claiming that, bars hotter than a Cajun snack
Make ya bleed and bomb ya clot like Jamaican Accent
Throw ya rhyme book in rice like an Asian snack
My verse crack like I'm trying to bring the 80s back
Crack like stepping on one and break ya old ladies back
Or crack like its bad luck when you the break the glass
Attached to a nigga mirror like vanity
I'm tired of competing when you derelicts challenge me
Calamity and chaos can't compare, for the anarchy
They try to take humanity, the culture, house and our keys
Hip hop been gentrified through the sinners eyes
But we'll see if they can keep up with the winners pride
You synthesize, we colder like we been winterized
They beat us down for too long, it's time to win and rise
Whether it's a snake or a vulture in disguise
You want smoke, Ima show you how Indica died
This SM, like whips hitting thighs when ya chick is tied
Up cus a nigga fly, IT factor Pennywise
If you issue it and I accept the challenge
I ain't gotta prep the cannon
Protect from famine or press semantics
I ain't gotta impress the antics or test the planet
Because being you
Yourself will always be the best advantage
This hip hop pure, it's like I'm on Tariq level
And my thoughts blacker than the lower sea level
This heat metal like Victor Creed at peak level
I'm Dante from DMC, I supersede devils
So take heed rebel
My jewels similar to Flintstones
No dirty water but a unique pebble
So calling me special is like calling the sky blue
Depends on perspective so what you see reflect you
Now I'm being scientific when I rhyme a sentence
No ghost rider when you staring in the eye of penance
It's just me and you, bar for bar writing writtens
Until my love is like Japanese who admire kittens
Now I got your life hanging on by some minor inches
If I ain't taking your fan base, then they die from cringes
Flow in tight syringes, medicine for dire sickness
Now we in a cypher writing higher cus the Phire risen
Its not really cool to be happy
Its not cool to be a positive person
Its a cooler thing to be negative

Blue, feeling blue
Well its you, feeling blue
Shout out to Jhonny Allen West for killing this shit first
It's my turn ya'mean
Standing at the top of the tower we get it, get it go
Kids staying in public housing and sitting wit a pole
Word to my momma, the truth is that Michigan is cold
Man been a pimp, for money the women been a hoe
I ain't gotta keep explaining where I come from
Where niggas selling dumbs dumbs
And loading up they one gun
Churches got the lunch son
And cops you gotta run from
Hoping that your crumbs come
And drugs ah get you numb once
Go and get that blunt dun and lace it like some gum ones
Hoping that your body get a rush like a stun gun
But they mind brighter than anything that the sun done
But they living life an extension of what a bum done
Hopefully niggas ah get it together before they cannot
Before they be living in prison
Or living 6 inches below they ethereal plot
Gotta watch out reptilians
Cus they envisioning nothing but killing your spot
But they be sitting in millions
Raising your children to be like a king of the stock
Now that's number one
We don't care where you coming from
Can we please stop running from
Our greatness, make it come in front, and claim it
Now that's number one
We don't care where you coming from
Can we please stop running from
Our greatness, make it come in front, and claim it nigga
Where do you go when you lost
Is it up, is it down, is it here
And when you come free to the morning light
And the truth battle who
Well its you, feeling blue
Well its you, feeling blue
No matter where you come from
You don't gotta be a product of that environment
You can go wherever the fuck you wanna go, that's word
You gotta be loving your life
No matter the troublesome time just stay on your grind
Don't stray out of line
Cus all of the snakes and fakes and the haters
They gonna keep coming and trying
Dollar a sign that's written for you
The people gon see it, it's true
So who gonna keep it from you
The same motherfuckers that be in your face tryna seek from you
You needing some proof
Just look at your so-called friends, no matter lady or man
Spreading through every land
They bringing you down, and getting ahead of ya plan
That is a terrible clan
Nowadays, nobody acting together
It's colder than Michigan weather
The ghetto is hotter than African desserts
It is a pleasure
We gotta get money in stacks no matter the pressure
It is a lecture, Savior betcha
Niggas ah hate cha at different measures
Hate on your paper, grind and flow
Never slow down, just go
Cus it is your time to show
The entire world that you can beat mind control
Never decline the goat, just climb and boast
Shout out to your tribe and folks
Cause if they aching for paper just save it and raise it
Like Savior mining gold
This is a timeless load
You stuck in a primal mode, I am the prime of modes
And we will decide to retire
Expire the Phire when fighters won't fight no more
And we be living, the finger to haters, fuck em' all
And for the children, they drink is made from the cup of God
And for the inner, my dinner ate from the tongue of Rah
And for the sinners, my lineage never ducking y'all
Where do you go when you lost
Is it up, is it down, is it here
And when you come free to the morning light
And the truth battle who
Well its you, feeling blue
Well its you, feeling blue
This that black frost you know what I'm saying
This that smooth dude too cool for the rules
Get your girl in the pool make ya do what it do
You know what I'm saying
Westside
My work will convert the wishes of the people into reality
Even as we speak my research is coming to fruition
No one will ever have to suffer again under the yoke of an unfair world

Everything in my fucking sight has to fucking die
I want y'all niggas to get in your bboy stances for this one you know what I'm saying
Bboys and Girls, aye yo
Hip hop doesn't mean a thing to you niggas
Treat it like an escort or fiend when you visit
Cus you would rather get in the movies or screw the groupies
You do it loosely but hip hop ain't the one to be abused
See this shit has saved lives, to some it made wives
The culture is immortal because energy can't die
Living off the past like a memory cant lie
But honestly the future of the industry ain't fly
We gotta deal with corporate executives and they messages
Hiring a horrible pair of kids to sell they shit
Screw the algorithms cus they move the active system
To practice rhythm and sell us liquor, hoes, and a trap to live in
Everything they promoting is lacking active vision
They playing games with the culture like they Activision
My Call of Duty is to crash the bandit, cool
They the animals, I spiral out control like a dragon do
But move like Sekiro when I step to those
Show em' how I step in soles, walk with me I bless they soul
People think I never made it like neglecting goals
I chose independence and I never sell my soul
I rather make 3k than 300k
If it means forcing me to act upon something gay
I rather make 6k than 66k, if I gotta rely on a label for my kids sake
I rather own my masters and my publishing
And keep the culture alive, you niggas still fucking it
Do a lot of coon shit in the public
They calling you a nigger in private and you loving it
Integrity is my specialty and my weaponry
Every rhyme I write is like ecstasy with embedded speech
Before I let a corporate exec go to bed with me
I'll be the bad boy, 9 years after 80 team Pistons
Detroit nigga like Dumars
In a no fly zone, tricking the Goon Squad
Words like a oowop talking that hooplah
Taking niggas to school, you scamming like Umar
Egypt I'm Amun Rah, Latin I'm Jubar
With the speed of Mach Gogogo in a new car
So the industry can suck a dick when its blue balls
In music, independence lead to your true call
But move like Sekiro when I step to those
Show em' how I step in soles, walk with me I bless they soul
People think I never made it like neglecting goals
I chose independence and I never sell my soul
But move like Sekiro when I step to those
Show em' how I step in soles, walk with me I bless they soul
People think I never made it like neglecting goals
I chose independence and I never sell my soul
I never sell my soul, no

Morning Star

I don't want your money, I don't want your fame
I just want you to kneel before I come in vain
I just want to get in before its sumn sane
Or try to make you a band before the drummer change
I just wanna see a dog fight all night
Or go to Detroit and see you smash, Almighty
I heard the east side hoes biggest ass and tits
But the west side hoes they be cashing in
You should try one of each, when you stabbing them
Tell me how that shit feeling after orgasm
I'm providing this for you, I don't need to touch
And I heard you don't get along with people much
So I'ma up ya charisma in instant
Big money, big lunch, owner of the prisons
I know they talk about God and how you his son
But name one thing for you that he did once
I know they write about it, make a lot of hype about it
But has he come to you in physical, ha ha doubt it
So when you out here searching for that higher power
Just look within and tell the motherfucka I the power
I don't know where
I'm going but somewhere
I'm going I gotta be free
Cus I don't go nowhere
That's not home or close there
Cus Monroe don't wanna be free
I don't want your money, I don't want your fame
I just want you to see right when something ain't
I just want you to see light above a flame
So you can pinpoint whenever any trouble came
Understand energy a form of exchange
And if you put it into something to disrupt your lane
You can live in a pit of dark or bend in parts
But within every human it is a hidden spark
Every beautiful woman created, this is art
But just like a painting, image can be ripped apart
Be fruitful and multiply before you die
Make ya son and your daughter rise like water tides
Past, present and future they call me father time
I kill the illness around you like I slaughtered swine
I'm the treasure you can't see, Uncharted 9
But when you feel it you know it because you part of mine
You got the power to mobilize and organize
Endorphins rise, immortals looking through mortals eyes
So when you out here searching for that higher power
Just look within and tell a mother lover I the power
I don't know where
I'm going but somewhere
I'm going I gotta be free
Cus I don't go nowhere
That's not home or close there
Cus Monroe don't wanna be free
No one will ever know the violence it took to become this gentle

I wish to utilize my research to save humanity
I suppose that would be the desire I hold dearest
All I need is some counseling
My mental regression will lessen every ounce of men
Seeming depression is there in every town we fend
Leaving the stress and the pressure never drown me in
The sea of emotion, now you see we proudly sin
To keep your devotion, now we speak to clowns who trend
They laugh away the pain while they fuck away the sorrow
A master in my lane, giving hope to those who borrow
Tools to defuse the weak
No pain, no strain just moods to elude the heat
When life gets difficult the gentleman will ridicule
Cry a sea of tears, but the fisherman is finna pull
Every piranha no shark, until the killer well
Crush station, no sting, rays of sun will see the shell
You been hiding under all of your life
Happiness, til you tired of wondering what is life, uh
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
To behold what they bound me in, uh
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
To control every crowd we in, lets go
Now they got me in an office, all white
Tall bright lights physically alter a moth sight
Crowded in my head like a mall fight
In the ghetto when the new 11s come out, the brawl tight
Yo, it's a battle in my head too
Yelling "go home to yo momma" but I'm Malcolm in the red suit
I crack heads, even from a hood with the crack heads
Councilor I'm off, cus of what my mom and dad did
So I'm asking for correction in my lifestyle
But pipe down, it ain't the time to write now
Thinking if I had the privilege of a white child
I ain't gotta only feel important when I'm iced out
But I gotta feel important when in Christ shroud
I'm Christ child when the Armageddon strike down
But you been hiding something all of your life
Happiness, til you tired of wondering what is life, uh
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
To behold what they bound me in, yeah
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
All I need is some counseling (That's what I need)
To control every crowd we in, lets go
I could be Greymon, but I look more like I'm Draymond
Until you see Adam Kadmon
Now it is ego I prey on
Saving the people like Krypton no alien Klingon
No laughing matter like Faizon
I got the power to pray on the ancients for aeons
Get Udon for Adon, futons to lay on
No 22s for Trayvon but voodoo and seance
No Hulu for vision, our roots we extend on
Water from ocean and ice from Oshea mom
Until that day come, the people will stay calm
Land of the free until United States bombed
First it was orange, now its Joe Biden
Small as an icon or broad as an icon
Power in my palm is strong as a titan
What we see as a black people, right on

Break The Chain

2013 I had an idea
Stop looking for labels and take back my career
Start performing with confidence, never rapping in fear
So I started a business, the Camp Phire is here
Started off with a couple of my high school friends
Chris Lloyd, Scenario, and Cheeze, my new men
To take over the industry with a hot new trend
Branding and business that'll stack new ins
And crack dudes chins with the bars, flows and beats
Darts, notes and speech that'll make Detroit
Hardcore and beast, but the fake destroyed
The infrastructure of the group, I was blaming Lloyd
But poor leadership on my end messed it up
Couldn't move it on my own like driving a Tesla
So I gathered 3 new phenomenal MC
Demon Eyes Kyo, Mo Mo and Wood Zombie, let's go
Can't tell you
How to see me
Just a cage of bones
There's nothing inside
Will it polish me
Burning down the walls
Is there a way
For me to break
2015, my idea cold
The new Camp Phire killing shit, outta control
Is it a motherfucker in the D stopping us, no
From the rhymes, to the beats, even rocking the shows
Merch game going crazy, but who woulda thought
I would start falling for somebody in the crew, nah
Me and Mo hit it off, Zombie told me I was soft
But it wasn't anybody that could open up the thought
That we weren't meant to be, thinking Zombie isn't right
Didn't matter cus he left and started Children of the Night
It was always a lil tension between him and Mo
Age difference didn't help, he was young and she was old
Generational difference can cause friction in business since
Understanding is the only way to keep the business lit and lift
After that, just me Mo Mo and Kyo
Scenario and Cheeze in it but they ain't working no mo, so
Can't tell you
How to see me
Just a cage of bones
There's nothing inside
Will it polish me
Burning down the walls
Is there a way
For me to break
2017, my momma died rough
Killed from an infection as if the cancer ain't enough
Me and MoMo broken up, and this time it's final
2018 I was working with a rival
Or that's what it felt like, all we did was argue
Relationship effecting my businesses and my art too
So by 2019 it was over
And then 2020 niggas dealing with the Covid
Didn't seem like my dream getting any closer
Keeping my composure but competing like a soldier
Is harder every day, now I'm getting depressed
In and out the hospital, cell sickling, yes
Popping 10 pills a day like an opium head
Rap the only thing keeping me from loading the lead
Put the toast to my head and saying hi to my mom
Or take 18 pills like I'm swallowing bombs, fuck it
Let that shit blow
Can't tell you
How to see me
Just a cage of bones
There's nothing inside
Will it polish me
Burning down the walls
Is there a way
For me to break
My best friends Scenario and Cheeze still around
And me and Kyo working on some heat with the sound
So I'ma stay here just a little while longer
And hope God show me how to make his child stronger
I can't promise I'ma make it through
So if I die before 2022, this a statement to
Any of my friends and fans I got left
It's a lot to live for, fuck dying, not yet

Royal Days

Ayo, Aye that should be the bridge though
Straight up like
Nigga be like... momma gon work it out
Momma gon work it out
Ayo momma gon work it out
Momma gon work it out
Sunny days til we entering the moonlight
Feeling weak til we entering a new tide
They wanted us to start a bran new crew why
When I got God by my side in my new life
No longer need to walk in fear
4 footsteps, Savior and God is here
No good, yep, Savior evolved this year
From the hood yet, Savi true calling near
It's like these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
Yes yes yes
These are my royal days
(Momma gon work it out)
(Momma gon work it out)
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
(Momma gon work it out)
(Momma gon work it out)
I said these are my royal days
I said no more disturbances
Conquering the detriment is permanent
Had a long long life and I turned events
Music is my therapy, I learned to vent
I ain't made a lot of money but I'm earning it
Cus I do this from the heart with a firm intent
To get my message to the world
Like the son that's sent
To the earth descended from the firmament
I'm a real life Savior to sheeple
The prayers and the people
Stop the layers of the ego
Rip the faces of the ego
We the staples, Caine and Abel
Cause we be our brothers keeper
Getting tougher never suffer
Thank our mother that she keep us
No more running never leave ya
But the hunter gonna treat ya
Like you prey
Make you get down on your knees
And then they bleed ya
But in reverse we'll bleed it then pray
And the hunter never eats
We deleted dismay, like
Sunny days til we entering the moonlight
Feeling weak til we entering a new tide
They wanted us to start a bran new crew why
When I got God by my side in my new life
No longer need to walk in fear
4 footsteps, Savior and God is here
No good, yep, Savior evolved this year
From the hood yet, Savi true calling near
It's like these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
Yes yes yes
These are my royal days
(Momma gon work it out)
(Momma gon work it out)
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
(Momma gon work it out)
(Momma gon work it out)
I said these are my royal days
I said I learn from experience
Coming from the hood where they fear the men
So they only solution is to kill the men
And the only other choice is imprisonment
Hoping that my holy words really steer and bend
In another direction with a clear intent
Not mysterious, or delirious
But a myriad of imperious
Imperials without the arrogance
My empirical is really evident
Not a fairy, ghost
Miracle is really heaven sent
Never terrible or irrelevant
But the pressure meant
Becoming a master of the elements
Like its air to bend
But this ain't a nickelodeon cartoon
My complex sumn like Napoleons art room
He got a lotta clones, Victor the Von Doom
But its only one God, he is me, I'm you, uh
Sunny days til we entering the moonlight
Feeling weak til we entering a new tide
They wanted us to start a bran new crew why
When I got God by my side in my new life
No longer need to walk in fear
4 footsteps, Savior and God is here
No good, yep, Savior evolved this year
From the hood yet, Savi true calling near
It's like these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
Yes yes yes
These are my royal days
(Momma gon work it out)
(Momma gon work it out)
I said these are my royal days
I said these are my royal days
(Momma gon work it out)
(Momma gon work it out)
I said these are my royal days
Shout out to Kisai
Responsible for all of the sounds
You hearing in the background
We are sun, we are moon
We are water, we are earth
We are air, we are Phire
That's what it's all about
Looking cool Joker
