(Release)

Creve lint melon and elephant billing 
And carrying sedatives that'll give average
lettermen calices
Wrecking with savageness 
Catalyst battling rappers'll stagger right after
the dagger is left in it
Cherish ? (Release) Attica
Shatter your algebra with calculus (give it up)
Damage your pattern I'm pounding you so fabulous
(give it up)
Enough is enough is enough and I'm busting up
outta this shell
In eruption and rupture your structure the fuck
with you (Release)
Up in you and cut you a costumer
Huffing and puffing, discussing absolutely
nothing, disgusting 
Plus I'm feeling me rushing up in your country
percussion
No woman gets struck in the boundaries
Wake up if your lunging, I'm something, you're
nothing (Release)
Now come see grunting, I'm hunting 
For one emcees running
I'm stomping my foot through your army
They couldn't have stopped me with shoties
Oddity ?wadidy watity? entire societies inside of
societies
And surviving still remain alive (Release) emcees

Thriving to flow, opting to go five hundred and
fifty-five syllables to go
Split em' with subliminal intentional dentinal
pro  
Unlimited flow unriveted, inhibited, vindited
Now you can't get rid of it like (Release)
business
Magnificent, intimate, in it with, in a minute,
gonna be in a nicks
In it with a gig, big fat heads like eggs
Benedict 
Pigs lick shit, rip with words in a bismol energy
It's time I ?(society beats release)? 

(Saul Williams) 

In a breathlessness 
Out of restlessness
By the time I caught up to freedom I was out of
breath
Grandma asked me what I'm running for
I guess I'm out for the same thing the sun is
sunning for
What mothers birth their youngens for
And some say Jesus coming for
For all I know the earth is spinning slow
Suns at half mass cause masses ain't a glow
On bended knee,
Prostrate before an altered tree
I've made the forest suit me
Tables and chairs
Papers and prayers
Matter versus spirit 
A metal ladder 
A wooden cross
A plastic bottle of water
A Mandela encased in glass
A spirit encased in flesh 
Sound from shaped hollows
The thickest of mucus released from heightened
passion
A man that cries in his sleep
A truth that has gone out of fashion
A mode of expression
A paint splattered wall
A carton of cigarettes
A bouquet of corpses
A dying forest
A nurtured garden
A privatized prison
A candle with a broken wick
A puddle that reflects the sun
A piece of paper with my name on it
I'm surrounded
I surrender
All
All that I am I have been
All I have been has been a long time coming
I am becoming all that I am
The spittle that surrounds the mouth-piece of the
flute
Unheard, yet felt
A gathered wetness
A quiet moisture
Sound trapped in a bubble
Released into wind
Wind fellows and land merchants
We are history's detergent
Water soluble, light particles, articles of
cleansing breath
Articles amending death
These words are not tools of communication
They are shards of metal
 
Dropped from eight story windows
They are waterfalls and gas leaks
Aged thoughts rolled in tobacco leaf
The tools of a trade
Barbers barred, barred of barters
Catch phrases and misunderstandings
But they are not what I feel when I am alone
Surrounded by everything and nothing
And there isn't a word or phrase to be caught
A verse to be recited
A man to de-fill my being in those moments 
I am blankness that contains center of an 'O'
The paramedic containment of an 'A'
I stand in the middle of all that I have learned
All that I have memorized
All that I've known by heart
Unable to reach any of it
There is no sadness
There is no bliss
It is a forgotten memory
A memorable escape route that only is found by
not looking
There, in the spine of the dictionary the words
are worthless
They are a mere weight pressing against my
thoughtlessness
But then, who else can speak of thoughtlessness
with such confidence
Who else has learned to sling these ancient ideas
like dead rats held by 
their tails 
So as not to infect this newly oiled skin
I can think of nothing heavier than an airplane
I can think of no greater conglomerate of steel
and metal
I can think of nothing less likely to fly
There are no wings more weighted 
I too have felt a heaviness
The stare of man guessing at my being
Yes I am homeless
A homeless man making offerings to the
after-future
Sculpting rubber tree forests out of worn tires
and shoe soles
A nation unified in exhale
A cloud of smoke
A native pipe ceremony
All the gathered cigarette butts piled in heaps
Snow covered mountains
Lipsticks smeared and shriveled
Offerings to an afterworld
Tattoo guns and plastic wrappers
Broken zippers and dead eyed dolls
It's all overwhelming me
?Okinelming? me
I have seeded a forest of myself
Little books from tall trees
It matters not what this paper be made of
Give me notebooks made of human flesh
Dried on steel hooks and nooses
Make uses of use, uses of us
It's all overwhelming me
?Okinelming? me
I have seeded a forest of myself
Little books from tall trees
On bended knee
Prostrate before an altered tree
I've made the forest suit me
Tables and chairs
Papers and prayers
Matter versus spirit
Through meditation I program my heart to be
break-beats and hum baselines in 
?excellation?

(Lyrics Born)

The heavens have benevolent medicine mad reverent
Pedaling deliverance that resemble ?impediments
too? 
The residents in the meadow of pestilence 
Who developed a chemical dependence on pessimism,
now
Is he is, or is he ain't
The most distinctive speaker seeping through your
sleep ?speaker?
Yes he is, oh, yes indeed
So distinguished, so close some people think half
(?)
Ain't no secret, people, trust me
It's mostly hustling
Moves me up strait
But just focus on the gun scene
Boasting and fussing
They both so unproductive
Suppose it go in my blood stream
Let me post this question
Ask anybody, just anybody
They'll tell you that the antibody to the petty
Potty mouth gots to go
