Chapter One
We’ve tread a billion footsteps,
But the journey’s not over yet…

Left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right
Step, follows step, follows step, follows step
Through the mud, through the blood
Through the scum, through the pain
Through the wind, through the hail
Through the storms, through the rain
We’ve tread a billion footsteps
But the journey’s not over yet
Are you ready
Get the fuck up, one ‘n’ all, ladies ‘n’ whores
Gentlemen ‘n’ vermin, I’ll leave your sore jaws
On the floor, not in awe but because I tore
Them off those fuckin’ ugly faces that they wore
Step the fuck up, one ‘n’ all, ladies ‘n’ whores
Gentlemen ‘n’ vermin, I’ll leave your swollen jaws
On the floor, not in awe but because I tore
Them off those fuckin’ ugly faces that they wore
Step the fuck up
The bigger the smile, the larger the lie
So when I say that we’re alike my grin’s five miles wide
I’m over-ridin’, writin’ on the right side of my brain
I’ve been sat in silence tryna hide the malice I contain
I’ve denied my mind the violence that it craves
Hidin’ inside of the rhymes ‘n’ lines that I create
But I’m about to fuckin’ break, fuckin’ wait
Revere me when you say my motherfuckin’ name
12 Gage
Everything that made me me I changed
I replaced every single strand of my DNA
I rewrote the code ‘n’ erased my fate, wait
Exposed my veins until I felt no pain
The cause, the effect, the force of the threat
You fuckers better fall back, when I raise up my head
No cage can contain or encase the flame of rage
Why don’t we add to the carnage ‘n’ let the cranium break
Step the fuck up
Here we go, son
It’s time to bring back the wrath
We got the noise ‘n’ the poison
Once more unto the breach, son
We’re poised ‘n’ we’re ready to destroy them
And I’ll try
To keep it wholesome
But I can’t keep my ugly mouth from openin’
‘Cos inside
My core is rotten ‘n’ I’m rottin’
I been bottlin’ up too many thoughts
And the demon’s watchin’ ‘n’ promisin’ there’s no stoppin’ me, now
Here we go, son
Through the blood, through the mud
It ain’t over ’til my voice is gone
You’re in the presence of greatness
I’m a man of bad habits ‘n’ malice
I’m a creature of hatred
F, M, A
I’m like a suicidal thought, I’ll leave your mind blown
I’m made up of malicious intent ‘n’ malevolence
I got a tongue forged of filth, finesse ‘n’ fuckin’ eloquence
Step the fuck up
Cover your ears ‘n’ fear us as you near us
Blind your eyes, from the appearance
The veneer is writhin’, hidin’ what’s beneath this
I’ll deny the kindness you’ve all been supplyin’
Every minute I’ve been writin’
Every feeling I’ve been fightin’
Every time you’ve tried you’ve been frightened of the silence
But the only harm in the darkness
Is what we bring with us all
When every day’s a battle, life becomes a fuckin’ war
Step the fuck up
Son, are you ready for the force of a corrosive overdose
A pyroclastic flow, a masterful use of this acidic spit
To brand the track with lyrics
I’mma slap the brats, spit on the rich
And I’mma laugh the last laugh the loudest bitch
Bow down to the wicked, we’re the kings at this
A biological hazard
We got the sickest spit
From my mind to my hand to my pen to my breath
12 Gage, FMA, man you’re fuckin’ with the best
From my mind to my hand to my pen to my breath
12 Gage, FMA, man you’re fuckin’ with the best
I take things a little too literal
So when they said the pen was mightier than the sword
I took it onboard
I hung, drew ‘n’ quartered every single one of the pitiful
I slaughtered ’em all and I did it all with the quill
And in the mess of the massacre
He was born, in the veins ‘n’ vernacular
I opened my eyes, the skies started to cry
That was the moment they knew all hell had arrived
Oh fuck
The crowds are screamin’, retreatin’
They’re trippin’ up on their feet ‘n’ they’re pleadin’
Oh look
Now they’re runnin’, they’re stumblin’
The ground’s crumblin’ under ’em
The earth shook
When I stepped upon the floor, wantin’ more than I thought
I wanna dwarf every motherfucker cut ’em to the core
Bring that shit back
Step the fuck up
Step the fuck down, step the fuck back
Step the fuck aside, look the fuck alive
We’re prepared to die
We’re never gonna hold back
If blood is thicker than water then we’re coagulated
One mass
We create to survive
We create to exist
We create to destroy
There will never be, no-one, no demon like me
Get the fuck up, one ‘n’ all, ladies ‘n’ whores
Gentlemen ‘n’ vermin, I’ll leave your sore jaws
On the floor, not in awe but because I tore
Them off those fuckin’ ugly faces that they wore
Step the fuck up, one ‘n’ all, ladies ‘n’ whores
Gentlemen ‘n’ vermin, I’ll leave your swollen jaws
On the floor, not in awe but because I tore
Them off those fuckin’ ugly faces that they wore
Step the fuck up
The Singularity
Listen on Spotify | LyricsLyrics to: The Singularity
We break the floor
We raise the bar
We burn our motherfuckin’ fingers on the stars
We can’t be stopped
And on we march
We didn’t come this far to only come this far
We break the floor
We raise the bar
We burn our motherfuckin’ fingers on the stars
We can’t be stopped
And on we march
We didn’t come this far to only come this far
We will bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed
Fuck the myths ‘n’ the legends, the idols ‘n’ fuckin’ gods
My immortal vocals will still be screamin’ long after my body rots
I’m surrounded by copies of a copy of a copy of a copy of a zero
The echo won’t stop, STOP
I’m battlin’ with time, my sight’s on the clock
From the click, click, to the
Tick, tick, tick, tock
I rise on the 1 ‘n’ kill it by the 2
From all I’ve become ’til all I’ll do
Screw the roof, I’ll make the mountains move
Look at me when I’m spittin’ at you, who’s
Unforgivin’ with the vision, now they’re livin it, through
Every second every minute every hour our food
Dyslexic, can’t help it, defective
When I sign my name for you, it spells DOOM
D-O-O-M, boom, this is the end
Who, will you be when you can no longer pretend
We’re primin’ the bombs
Like Mr Manhatten
We’re settin’ it off
The Fatman, the bigboy
We cannot be stopped
The penny that’s fallin’ will one day be dropped
We break the floor, what
We raise the bar, what
We burn our motherfuckin’ fingers on the stars, what
We can’t be stopped, what
And on we march, what
We didn’t come this far to only come this far, what
Step up, shut up, get up, get on track
‘Cos the wicked are back
Send in the liquidators ‘n’ the hazmat’s for the aftermath
‘Cos the sickest are back
I’m gonna be bringin’ back the wrath
Isn’t that right, Zach
Spit, spit, spit, spittin’ it up, I gotta
Rip, rip, rip, rippin’ it up, I’m gonna
Reckon I could wreck a record any millisecond
Wind your neck in, ill intent got you feelin’ threatened
Defile the style, in denial, while I’ll
Pop a Xanex, stop the manic synapse
I’m a man ‘n’ I’m a mammoth
Summonin’ in the Tyrannid the Tyrannos
Who’s the baddest motherfucker on the planet
That’s you
That’s true
And I’m bringin’ in the damage ‘n’ madness
I’m gonna spit in the abyss ‘n’ I’mma ravish the planet
Ground zero’s here though
I’m the reason
The demons breathin’, we aint even even
Til I see you bleedin’
The Chimera’s here ‘n’ I can hear you screamin’
Even the beat retreats
Now I’m back ‘n’ the darkness creeps in
And the hearts are beatin’
Til I’m stoppin’ ‘n’ squeezin’ ’em
Don’t stop ’til the rot take over
I’m more monstrous as a lonely sober man
Forged ‘n’ formed in the flames of Ommadon
I ain’t walkin’, I’m marchin’ on
Ya better prep da lexicon
Rep da wretch ‘n’ run
Ready up, step it up
Get the fuck up
We break the floor, what
We raise the bar, what
We burn our motherfuckin’ fingers on the stars, what
We can’t be stopped, what
And on we march, what
We didn’t come this far to only come this far, what
Prepare Yourself
Listen on Spotify | LyricsLyrics to: Prepare Yourself
Adrenaline is pumpin’, it’s pushin’ me to progress
The only sounds that I can hear are the drums beatin’ inside my chest
It’s time for the
Lights to brighten up
Raise the sound for ya
Don’t blink, ink drips
The curtain rises up
We do this
Every single day of the calendar
And now
It’s time to silence them
Prepare the weaponised words
For bombardin’ ’em
But first
Let’s get the mandatory mention of our name out of the way
It’s FMA ‘n’ 12 Gage
I never said I could control what’s in my mind
I just guide it, ride it, ‘n’ pray
I don’t find somethin’ hidin’ deep inside
I can’t decide on a tragedy or cataclysm
I can’t make up my mind
Whether I want to crush the dogma or the opposition
All I know is that I’ll be standin’ in the panic
When the damage of the aneurysm blasts
Prepare yourself
When the flow of the explosion hits
We’ll crack the walls, shatter all the bricks
Take cover or hit record ‘n’ think of the 4 ‘n’
Perform like you’ve never performed before
Get loud, get down
Let’s burst the clouds
Let’s move the earth ‘n’ shake the ground
Get krunk ‘n’ turn the whole orbit round
Get loud, get down
Let’s burst the clouds
Let’s move the earth ‘n’ shake the ground
Get krunk ‘n’ turn the whole orbit round
Get loud, get down
Let’s burst the clouds
Let’s move the earth ‘n’ shake the ground
Get krunk ‘n’ turn the whole orbit round
Get loud, get down
Let’s burst the clouds
Let’s move the earth ‘n’ shake the ground
Get krunk ‘n’ turn the whole orbit round
No pen, no page, and then, no rage
No crave, and then, 12 gage
He says, be brave
Reload that pen ‘n’ then
We can take on any of them
With me in your head this’ll never end
Aim it at anyone tryna contend
These lines are inside n I’ll be at your side ’til your death
Every breath that we
Take cover or hit record ‘n’ think of the 4 ‘n’
Perform like you’ve never performed before
Hold up, the floors about to erupt
Now choose a side
We set a nuke ‘n’ it’s about to go off, we said
Got an O-Okada infused flow
Suzuki’s psyche in my dome
Red raincoat on my form
So show me to my throne
Here we go
Prepare yourself
When the flow of the explosion hits
We’ll crack the walls, shatter all the bricks
Take cover or hit record ‘n’ think of the 4 ‘n’
Perform like you’ve never performed before
Get loud, get down
Let’s burst the clouds
Let’s move the earth ‘n’ shake the ground
Get krunk ‘n’ turn the whole orbit round
Get loud, get down
Let’s burst the clouds
Let’s move the earth ‘n’ shake the ground
Get krunk ‘n’ turn the whole orbit round
Get loud, get down
Let’s burst the clouds
Let’s move the earth ‘n’ shake the ground
Get krunk ‘n’ turn the whole orbit round
Get loud, get down
Let’s burst the clouds
Let’s move the earth ‘n’ shake the ground
Get krunk ‘n’ turn the whole orbit round
Prepare yourself
When the flow of the explosion hits
We’ll crack the walls, shatter all the bricks
Take cover or hit record ‘n’ think of the 4 ‘n’
Perform like you’ve never performed before
Prepare yourself
When the flow of the explosion hits
We’ll crack the walls, shatter all the bricks
Take cover or hit record ‘n’ think of the 4 ‘n’
Perform like you’ve never performed before
Bitter

I’m happy
I wish I could stay like this forever
Wrapped in your arms
Breathing in your smell
Watching you, waiting for you to wake up
This is where I belong
This is where I want to be
But you know it cannot always be that way
The same way that I was sent here to help you
Is the same way I will need to leave
When you wake up and I’m not there
I want you to remember
This feeling
This touch
I want you to remember my voice
I want my voice to stay in your heart
I want my voice to stay in your heart
I look up, past the clouds
I leave the soundwaves ‘n’ crowds behind
And I pretend that you can see me now
I counted raindrops a thousand times
I watched as the storm rolled in ‘n’ rolled by
I never got my
Chance to say goodbye now
Dim the lights down
Tear the skies down
And give you one more smile
I look down at the ground
I hear the echoes ‘n’ sounds
And I pretend that you can see me now
You shut my brain up, when
Another thought I’d make up
Suffocatin’
Sufferin’
In the hopes of livin’ a dream of your makin’
But people change and I am made to create
Am I out of pages
Or am I just out of patience
Paintin’ a picture ‘n’ tearin’ it to bits
Was your favourite, but the paper is ripped
And I’ll slave away just to pay for it
But I have to thank you
You made me sweetly sick with each kiss
Take a deep breath
Speak less ‘n’ more ink
I try ‘n’ think, think, think
But the pen slips from my grip
The words are what give my life
Worth, ‘n’ purpose
But no matter what I ever wish
The words are just air
And all the nightmares still exist
I persisted when I should have quit
I gave every ounce, that I had to give
I allowed, no doubt to crowd up my mind
And now I got all the odes to show for it
I could never tell whether you were wearin’
A grimace or a grin
The precious luminescence has faded
Just like the letters I left on your skin
I’m happy
I’m happy
I’m happy
I’m
Happy
I look up, past the clouds
I leave the soundwaves ‘n’ crowds behind
And I pretend that you can see me now
I counted raindrops a thousand times
I watched as the storm rolled in ‘n’ rolled by
I never got my
Chance to say goodbye now
Dim the lights down
Tear the skies down
And give you one more smile
I look down at the ground
I hear the echoes ‘n’ sounds
And I pretend that you can see me now
I wish you could’ve seen what I’ve become
I wish I could’ve shielded your eyes
From the burnin’ sun
I wish I could’ve seen what you saw in me
I wish upon every beat of the drum
I wish upon every supernova
Every star
Every bar
Every scar
Every heart beat
Through every dark street
I can’t breathe calmly
Repeatin’, insistin’ that I am wishin’
That you aren’t leaving now
But I wrote, and I hope
That you can see me now
You can see me now
You can see me now
You can see me now
I’ll extinguish the stars
I’ll cradle supernova’s in my palm
No one, has come so far
I went from stumblin’ up to the startin’ line
To steppin’ up my skill with rhyme
And I won’t be finished ’til I’ve finished
Writin’ down the finish line
I asked for one last chance
Begged for one last dance
I cannot follow, I’ll still be hollow tomorrow
I will swallow my sorrow
I will put myself through hell to pay
For a penance I’ve borrowed
A spec of sand outside of the crimson coral
Sometimes my thoughts spiral out of control
The arrival of my rival, maniacal
I am liable, to explode
And never slow
Keep my eyes locked forward
Ignore the pieces of me
The debris ‘n’ the detritus
At the side of the road
Onwards we roll
Bringin’ it back
Now I’m headin’ on home
I know, without a doubt
That I got the gift, you will witness this
And I’ll pretend ‘n’ I’ll wish
That you were with me now
You were with me now
You were with me now
You were with me now
I look up, past the clouds
I leave the soundwaves ‘n’ crowds behind
And I pretend that you can see me now
I counted raindrops a thousand times
I watched as the storm rolled in ‘n’ rolled by
I never got my
Chance to say goodbye now
Dim the lights down
Tear the skies down
And give you one more smile
I look down at the ground
I hear the echoes ‘n’ sounds
And I pretend that you can see me now
The Road
Listen on Spotify | LyricsLyrics to: The Road
The relentless inferno has burned
And now only embers emerge
A servant to thirst, endless surges ‘n’ urges
The cinders ‘n’ verses gave me purpose
And worth, when worth had deserted
But the murmurs, were precursors
For the screams ‘n’ the hurt
And it seems
The curtains are close to closing
And warmth is approaching
The hatred is fading
And pain’s dissipating
The pace I set is waning
But my footsteps can’t keep up
With the tread of the two step
Stood in the shade, of the grey
And everythin’ has changed
Once upon a time, I’d race the clouds home
I’d let them win of course
My bones ‘n’ my mind ablaze
My feet were the beat of the metronome
And I’d, listen to the silent singin’
The cadence inside my soul
Too lost in the thoughts formin’ in my mind to realise
That I was walkin’ alone
And the lights of the bonfire burned so bright
I didn’t know how to slow the tempo
Or look back to
The tracks of the past me that tread this path
Now the wind blows cold upon these old bones
And the sounds are only echoes
As the walls crumble, I stumble home
I swore that my kingdom would never fall
As you’re growin’ up, I’m slowin’ down
The sunlight’s runnin’ out
Applause is dyin’ down
Now, no pages to be found
Ink sinks into the ground
And words escape me now
Rust forms upon my crown
And now, we’ve reached the final bow
Every day I used to walk home
Head low every moment slow
Countin’ the cracks in the pavement
Rackin’ my brain as the sound scape froze
I got this dream ‘n’ I know I won’t let go
And I’m stood upon my tip toes
Peering over bleak scenery
Speaking to the future me
Ya gotta make it y’know
‘Cos there’s nothing left if we don’t
But def ears only hear dead tones
I’ll listen to the voices in my headphones
My brains breakin’ awaitin’ a breakdown
But I’m still prayin’ for high notes
And I stand toe to toe
With my lowest moments that I can’t let go
Which are caught ‘n’ froze in the throes of the flow of the undertow
And I know
Exactly what you see in me don’t fit into this scenery
And I know
I rose to eye roll’s
I’ve reached so high but there’s no time to rest
The best is yet to come
You’ve seen nothing yet
I’ve only just begun
And I know
I’m the spittin’ image
Every second that you listen, is an hour that I’ve given
But as I’m growin’ up, you’re slowin’ down
The footprints I’ve been followin’ are runnin’ out
Won’t stop, won’t quit, until my footprints are the only ones now
Gotta make my imprint distinct, for the next me when he walks around
With his head down to the ground, performin’ for that silent crowd
I won’t stop now
I won’t fall down
But if I hit the ground
I hope I’ve made you proud
I won’t stop now
I won’t fall down
But if I hit the ground
I hope I’ve made you proud
I won’t stop now
I won’t fall down
But if I hit the ground
I hope I’ve made you proud
I won’t stop now
I won’t fall down
But if I hit the ground
I hope I’ve made you proud
The road is rollin’ out
The skies scatter the clouds
The sun is never goin’ down
The shadows stay, they stain ‘n’ they paint the ground
Step follows step, I can’t stop movin’
Don’t stop to watch or even acknowledge the ruins
Even if it hurts
Even if there’s no words
Still in search of a verse
Through the scum through the mud through the dirt
