Move steps in sequence to the warriors beat. Let the rhythm be the beacon, no warrior retreats. Them guards out front get done in a heartbeat. We hidden in the darkness, forming like some marksmen. Storm in like Normandy, slicing bodies in 3 portions, deep stance, feet rooted, no remorse, leave a message! Swords' heavy, swing it like Thor's hammer. Move within the shadows and attack like a phantom. Wall run, my feet planted, stand down or blades, carving smiles like a Jack o' Lantern, yup yup! Melt through these lock using gallium, strike with balance. How Swift Thy Sword, but still swung like a mallet. You saying what? Man.. BItch you ain't ready! I got archers on point and their aim's always steady! No stop now! Intruders beheaded! Drop the blades on em'! Watch his blood flood like a levy! Approach the corner back turned, eyes side glance. Advance quick on em', invite him for his final dance. The Sword Chancellor, blades' swinging like a talisman, out power the enemy, my blades got stamina! Charging up a second. I'm ready! Release the gamma ray. Handy with duel blades, i blaze through platoons! Release the dogs on em'! Rally up! I got a price on his head and i don't want him dead! Bring him breathing! Baby! Babbling at the teeth, barely teething. Chop his arms when he starts reaching! Running full speed there's no stopping now, catch a sweep, off his feet, my sword striking straight down! Dodge a swing, slice, catching' em' all slippin'. Parry a stab and bury another lost victim. Vision drifts to the Main Door... Start running I'm bout to g-

Goosebumps 01:50
Strong eyes watch streets, I walk between the shadows. Catch glimpses of my fate, second time I've faced the gallows. On the road to Meifumado, with a burden on my back. Burn wishes by the list, holding the Golden Snitch. ride with 4 Horsemen, missions for the queen. Ride at top speed, I watch The Watchmen. Stop trials by death, escaping the final clutches. Rolling another episode, smoked out of a dutchie. Make beats inside a cave, devour coffee and cannabis. Surges of caffeine, living an endless dream. It's been pouring outside, I found hunger in the rain. Finally found my shelter, plotting my next movement. Reading words before i turn the next page. I shutter islands, see more inside of my eyelids. Live inside of prophecies, see like the wise man. Advised not to battle him, victory by a landslide. To each his own, signs say keep out. Decipher wise puzzles, hold dogs without muzzles. I move like a ghost, It must have been the wind, speak in deep frequencies that stand hair on skin. Compared to ghoulish figures, I move like desert mules. Consult with dark hooligans on bright sides of the moon.

Verse 1: Gabraham Thinkin (x10) Lines swinging like dog tags, Fall victim to blind vision like when fog pasts. Catalyst make moves like when cogs latch. Fall Project, fall back. Pack in the back of that blazer, Play that last track we just made and slow ride like Foghat! Strong hands, steady grasp! Call up that medevac, Ass whippins I hand em out like petty cash. Shredding facts like cheddar jack. Stare my enemies in the eyes and see more shakes than a bellydance, A chess move away, well advanced. You baby weight like extra fat! Black holes Im black darkness Stark raving and mad hearted Heavy chin marksman This marks the day that your soul departed! Far gifted, part machine, part martian. Übermensch from Clark Kent. See the fire in his eyes like pyros before an arson! Verse 2: Kushus Clay Hoppin' out the blazer Smokin weed, yea I'm the savior Got the weed Who got the paper Burn it down bitch I'm a Native Out of town, the secret agent Lookin around, I see the papers Told em king size and we Bakin Cuz im clayin' never flagrent Dog im ready for the scuffle Master plan was get the duffle See im eyeing scopes low tho Pass the joint then hit the back room Near the bathroom Yo That shit led me to the basement Close the door then hit the lock Seen 2 niggas crossed em up Kick 1 nigga left him slumpt And yea the other got the knucks Gran the bag and found some chuff Just hit a lick, yea thats whats up I hear Shit then hear a Fuck Found a window crawling up I break the glass then toss the bag hoping my ass aint outta luck. The door collapsed, some bitches gasped Bht all they saw was niggas punked Cross the yard hop in the truck I'm peeling off dont give a fuck! Verse 3: Ollie Cheefs

The Unseen 02:22
3rd eye's his residence. Weatherman, he's weather proof. All signs from evidence, high science, his mind's lifted. Switch pitches like a witch's scream. Eyes twitching, fogged vision, not to mention... contrary to speak, I control contradictions. "'the cause of destruction?" is the mantra for most. Running through his lives, a montage of a ghost. Called upon with other souls, the here and now status quo. Statues built from my previous outfits, I shed skin like i change clothes. Out spit tobacco chewers, coffin harder than kid with a cold. Top of the mountain like I'm digging for gold. Maintain. Intelligence, 3 eyes, i speak like 3 devils. Lives leveled at ground, 6 feet deep you'll get shoveled. To the edge! Commence the push and shoving! Times ten. Kicking it Chun Li, Ken, my lines swift. Bending time rich minded, y'all broke kids get broke kid. The fire in his eyes it arose in his psychosis. Shogun Kill! Limitless pills I'm overdosing'. You'll never see me, Invisibility I'm cloaked in. Im high toned and low key. Enlightened from the Bodhi seed, Bodhisattva, smoking blunts in a lotus leaf. Sho' Nuff! Bullets between my upper and my lower teeth. Asthmatic, raspy words through a holy speech. This is assassin type rap! Heavy steps leave battle tracks. Battalion strikes like battle axes. Cataclysmic chain reactions, acid rain. Control planets beyond this atlas. At las! Hit blunts like drum accents. For all heavenly access, speak my name at last breath! At last breath... Go ahead and ponder it, yous' a padawan to a wunderkind, wondrous monument. Squint one eye down the scope like a monocle. Shoulder to shoulder with some romans, I am Spartacus. Always on ya back like a cardigan. Sorry for all the coughing them my bros, you can pardon them. Possibly the dopest you've ever seen on this side of modern men.

Walk the road, cart is rickety. High alert, eyes out, word is he's in this vicinity. Peripheral fixed vision, watch like a frog does. Stack chips like Pogs, play it cool like some congas. Attack like the Congo, first draw, he's on point. A slash met a stab and a body hit the sand. Born for the assassins road like Daigoro. Known for holding swords that cut straight through torsos.

I stalk graveyards at night in flight by 2 owls. Searching for my prey I've been hungering for a decade. Spinning eerie webs, i enter a dizzy spell. Been hearing the constant rings dwelling from broken bells. Heavy hearted, weighed, will sway the tipping scale. This artist stays sharp, on point like tips of nails. Hard raps with beats I've started from scratch, Im clipping nails. Itch y'all trigger fingers, you as gangster as some Zinfandel. I say words with feeling like finger tipping brail, My point is simple, like free throws and kicking fields. Competition slim pickings, thin fros and indo yields. I put dents inside of mental the size of football fields. My stadiums got range, go through platoons like grenades. Finna leave these stiffs where them names get writ in stone. Cenacle mental patient who's disorders are mostly clinical. Disorderly rhyme horror scenes, borderline schizophrenic. Physically fine but mind's occupied by 5 tenants. Not to mention the often stop bys and all the nightly visits from the ghost and goblins confined to confines of my subconscious. I've got a sickness... Fuck around and get yo disk slipped! Voodoo speak hooligan, hand out like Count Dooku. Kick like 2 boots, keep my bucks on booku. 2 cubes, I'm 2 cool. Classy as a Zoot Suit. Best friends with Death, he's cool if only you knew him. But you'll get to know him i don't need to introduce him... X-ray, my head aint on straight, my screws loosened. Lasso rope emcees, take drags like puffing looseys. Bruising crews in this form of producing music. Ima' fuck up your day like bad news and weather ruined. Using crews as loose ends i tie on my nooses. Deuces to these 2's, flip words like some cue cards. Murder movements, death scene, now cue this music. Picking at these brains, Lobotomy , cotton Q-tips. The Walking Dead, gawking at all these rotting humans. Hawks eye, birds view, I see like Desert Eagles. Boom! Swoop like witches brooms. I'm glued inside this looney bin. Color me bad blood, my colors are from a different hue. Bitch mades get made, false moves get the sickle. Have my dogs sick em', pick locks like Tommy Pickles. Mind reflects the ocean, at times it often ripples. With thoughts so on point, you would swear they were all stippled. Truly graphic. Control the thoughts of puppets this is voodoo magic. Rumor has it, this dude raps cancerous in a tumor fashion. Super mad man with more beats then police dash cams. Thoughts in transit, words moving like the cash cab. Always on the go and always on my last lap. Spit with wicked tongues, sickness, and icky feels. Peel the backs off emcees as easy as stick and peel. Beats blasting like cats, lines colder than nickel steel. You'll need more than three eyes to see how this sicko feels. Split his wig like a widows peak, attack like black widows!

Decipher these lives, escape rebirthing cycle, skip y'all beats heart murmur, blasting off bursting rifles, Using words to move churches, the art of the clergyman. This colonel is curving words to loops like this is cursive. Non bravado, built by bhagava Gita. All bravos once bodhisattva drops. Watch these hollow soul get carved out swallowed by earth it's my calling. O' Happy Day, wash his sins, watch modern men turn to modern marvels. Marvelous smooth, move like rolling marbles. I'm a rolling renegade regenerated from hatred. iron man, the man in the mask, escaped the iron maiden. Evading most of these strange deranged and dark faces. Hold rap by the throat with more force than Darth Vader. Coral colors I'm glorious, verses suited in velour, I'm singing in polyphonic, my notes will be notorious. Overide fly bys only here for notoriety. 90s kid on the rise with a grip on our society. Getting high till its legalized, reaching different heights despite all variety. Find your way to east side the skin colors blended, scented from the headshops selling different inscents. River running crimson by the end of this sentence. Sly cunningliguist, lengua, linguistics. Chandelier shimmer with a glimmer of a limerick. Emerald green envy teeth spitting embers. Tougher than some timberlands my sword is invincible. Pinnacle been reached I'm reading through my pineal, y'all is not visible.

The Gallows 02:30
Heavy drums, i feel the ground, it's rumbling. Shaking from the bass, I stay posted like a tumblr pic. Stomach grumbling, need a body to stomach. Hungering for the flesh, mouth watering, and my knuckles clenched. Mental's trapped between raps and instrumentals. Emcees inside my lab with instruments for the picking. Digging graves' the only way this plot will thicken. The Hands of Time come knocking, I'm stalking, your clock is ticking. I got...hollow coffins, stocking up my closet, skeletons been burnt, now just ashes for the offering. Lodge it down ya throats, I'm coughing up some lozenges, down and dirty, y'all all washed up like laundry day. I am carnage, feasting on some cartilage. Dusting this whole game, I'm blowing out ya' cartridges. I am a henchmen, with cannibal like tendencies. Scraps of whack rappers are stuck in-between my dentistry. I am a hangman, got mobs for the lynching, I'm auctioning off these organs, i left the crowd out in stitches. Times ten, inside of my mind again, I'm staring at all these pussies, I'm like Daniel in the Lion's den. High as shit, this highest honored kid. Personified as solid, Colossus, i got the iron skin. My knife is striking, I'm stirring up these violins. This booth is getting murdered, who let Mike Meyers in? That fire spit, hotter than when a dryer spins. Going for the gold, Im holding a 49ers pick. Tires spin, I'm burnt out like lighter tips, serving this white china, lines finer than designer sniffs.

about

This album is dedicated to all my Lohan brothers, Runaway Tribe and friends that I've shared a deep connection with to Wu-Tang, RZA, and Kung Fu. I wish we could have bumped this driving to all the demos, after all the Jams, and at every garage party! I miss the days where it felt we were going to war together!

A Bodhisattva is one who attains the enlightenment of a Buddha, but in exchange for enlightenment, they accept the constant cycle of rebirthing to help all other beings reach their enlightenment first. A Bodhisattva represents a compassionate nature through observation and understanding of this universe and offers knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to those who are have not yet seen its beauty. This album is based off of this concept and told from a warriors perspective. Each song represents a warrior during different lifetimes. There are scenarios as an assassin, a king, a hangman, a ruthless killer, a deity, and more. Bodhisattva is also loosely based off the graphic novel Lone Wolf and Cub, many references were drawn directly from this manga. Some songs embody the life of Ogami Itto and his experiences from Lone wolf and Cub. Majority of this album is sampled from vinyl records (hints: all the hiss noise). The art work is designed by my very talented friend, colleague, and distant cousin Dustin Rey Ybarra. Dustin is one of the best artist I've known and had the pleasure of working with.
