about

This track covers events in the Marvel Comics from Axis, to the Death of Wolverine, and even a little of Wolverine and the X-Men. It features some of my favorite rhymes I've written to date. I was inspired to do something a little less structured with the delivery. Instead of the usual on beat cadence I stick to, I went with an alternating rhythm that mixes it up a bit.

lyrics

I don't know what you heard,
but rest assured
I am not dead.

It takes more than a spear
to cut through me,
enough said.

Ahab made it tough,
but this is not lead.
Adamantium, vibrainum,
mingling like co-ed.

I flow with it,
just go with it.
Growing ten feet tall,
just showing it.

Never said I was a poet,
but a sonnet couldn't hurt my chances,
yeah, you knowing it.

Cause when I roll up,
won't be a Mercedes or a Lincoln.
Got a blackbird in the air,
and one on the ground just for drinking.

I ain't stupid,
not gonna risk getting myself a "FLUI".
Leave that scoundrel stuff for Han
and that walking carpet Chewie.

Those fools is back where they belong,
where we can Marvel,
just like the do me.

Now it's all been reversed,
they acting like they never even knew me.

If we've learned anything at all,
it's that the best we can hope for.
Is to die covered up,
with the thing that's at our very cores.

And they'll pour on,
those morons,
will keep on waging war on,
every living thing,
using our headstones to keep score on.

Hate to say I told you so,
but I saw all of this coming.
Flashes of a distant future,
so horrible that they're numbing.

Visions of my friends faces,
all bloody and all broken.
I ain't joking man,
the meat on their bones was still smoking.

I don't even have to be a psychic,
just to see it.
Cause every time I close me eyes,
someone dies and I believe it.

If I want to be the hero,
than all I got to do is be it.
Hold this mic a sec,
I think it's time yall should see it.

(Battle sounds)

I don't even write rap,
I write lyrics that,
set to a certain beat,
and a certain kind of grooving track.

Inspire one to have hope,
and another one to give it back.
That's my plan of attack,
even Remender says I'm not whack.

And that's just it,
the power that's within me.
An enemy of hate,
so hate can just unfriend me.

I know I call myself a kid,
but no one need defend me.
Getting right down to it,
that's the end G.
