Goal Fishing by Amon Re The 8th Sign
Most of these rappers clowns that ain't saying shit like pantomimes
You flame spit
Bang clips
But you recant your lines
In the streets I goal fish you should cast a line
My heart harder than a cast of iron
That's why I can't rely on
Another man to exhibit the same drive as I
Pass I on at e means I'm most passionate
Plus I'm pass your greatest
My numbers up get your Calculators
You claim the shit but you cats is anus
I'm seeing things like esp
Especially these weak rapper which is my specialty
You're special ed
Find in seat slump sleep simply left for dead
Cause the beast he was left unfed
After state time the only thing that's left is fed
I'm killing it like the beat it was left undead
On some Rob Zombie shit
The devils reject cast from Zion to a fiery pit
This is my conglomerate
Boom bap beats banging by Finn Downey
I'm just the artist to honestly honor it
Controversial never commercially
No tolerance
Your bluff I'm calling it
I'll never desert ya
So I only keep my kin around me
Country bunkun from back wood smoke that good zip pack of loud leaf green chief and you a townie
My feet pounding
The pavement walking path
So the math understand we king we kings before slave ships
Queens before maids that
Took care of their babies
And innovators since creation
Survivors because we made it
This far with no haven
All that we know was haven't
Have nots is what they call us
Probably why we buy the mall out when we can't afford it
A view distorted by images of lavish quarters
In exotic places accompanied by the smile on their faces of other races

Pull It Together by Amon Re The 8th Sign
Chorus
(Background)
Pull it to together (repeat throughout chorus)
(Main)
Sometimes things fall apart
Let me pull it together
And you don't know where to start
I gotta pull it together
Then life throw to the sharks
Let me pull it together
Sometimes God will test your heart
I gotta pull it together
Verse 1
Alive mind
Racing through time
Approaching the destination
A station where lost souls are waiting
I've exceeding their calculations
Walk this road alone
My concentrations
Never concentrated
A star like the constipation
Scorpius
Right before your corneas
Of you third eye I spy a warrior
Never let pride deprive one of progress which glorious
Til one day they tell the story of
Beat the odds
Praise God
Because I stayed alive
And only trivial trial and tribulations
I am the villages child that was exiled from a tribe called quest
So I have a love hate relationship at best
With life herself sometimes what a bitch
She will you with nothing at all but conflict
Hardship
I rap to the beat your heart skipped
If I fall I pick myself and keep going shit we all slip
Chorus
(Background)
Pull it to together (repeat throughout chorus)
(Main)
Sometimes things fall apart
Let me pull it together
And you don't know where to start
I gotta pull it together
Then life throw to the sharks
Let me pull it together
Sometimes God will test your heart
I gotta pull it together
Verse 2
Ambidextrous flow
That left right combo
The streets a jungle as if I was raised in the Congo
Fiends like hyenas
I'm the king of the pride
Like Mufasah
Dead or alive
Veteran vibe
Professional I
Get money etcetera
I'm talking Gorgonzola, cream brea, different levels of cheese
And cannibus I smoke a different level of leafy green hues
Paid my dues
Played fool never
The dogs off the leash
Roaming the streets
Disturbing the peace
they're wondering who let em
He eating all these rappers now who fed em
I'm to cool for school
Just too cool to be schooled
You're confused like lil thug with a rubics cube
There no room for you rubes
Except for on tuned with u
An emasculated castrated view
Influencing our sons and somehow that shit's acceptable
Bridge
Chorus
(Background)
Pull it to together (repeat throughout chorus)
I don’t really know what’s going on
We all really need to, get our shit together
(Main)
Sometimes things fall apart
We need to pull it together
And you don't know where to start
We need to pull it together
Then life throw to the sharks
We need to pull it together
Sometimes God will test your heart
I gotta pull it together

Sara by Amon Re The 8th Sign
HOOK
Before the video vixens
There was Sarah
Before injections and extensions
There was Sarah
Before the record labels ever did this
The conceit of exploiting black women was invented through Sarah
A yo they did this to Sarah
You know they did this to Sarah
200 years and the cycles still existing
Her story is so repetitious pay attention
CHORUS
This songs for Sarah Baartman
Though you may know her as Venus
From Hottentot tribe a slur to her people
She was a 20 year old black queen
The white man couldn't believe
Their eyes truly felt deceived
So they plotted a scheme
To get rich so they sold her a dream
About fame and a better life if she goes up stream
Her voluptuous features were so different from Europeans
And their perception of beauty thin nose and fair skin
Compared to her they resembled bolemic
They mind can conceive how god could achieve it
So she was labeled subhuman like she's a whole different creature
Sold into captivity
From her family
Put in display for the those that want to to see the freak
To laugh at, comment, point fingers and gasp at
Her curvy figure and large bottom was abstract
They even tried to make Sarah a lab rat
HOOK
Before the video vixens
There was Sarah
Before injections and extensions
There was Sarah
Before the record labels ever did this
The conceit of exploiting black women was invented through Sarah
A yo they did this to Sarah
You know they did this to Sarah
200 years and the cycles still existing
Her story is so repetitious pay attention
Verse 2
For 5 years
I'm sure that cried tears
Look to the sky and ask God why am I here
Shackled in chain
She daydream to escape from the pain
To green pastures in the cape where she came
In South Africa
They took future, aspirations, hope and her name
From the second they saw Sarah they were after her
Captured her then locked her away
Put her in a cage
Then shook hands cause your bout to get paid
Look at Sarah on display as she drowns in her shame
She's a mental slave now not just bound by the chains
Knowing things ain't bound to change
She accept her situation and at 25 she finally escapes
Only to be dissect studies and found in a case
Took 200 years to reach her final resting place
A disgrace
A never ending cycle it's like you
Turn on the tv and see Sarah everyday
HOOK
Before the video vixens
There was Sarah
Before injections and extensions
There was Sarah
Before the record labels ever did this
The conceit of exploiting black women was invented through Sarah
A yo they did this to Sarah
You know they did this to Sarah
200 years and the cycles still existing
Her story is so repetitious pay attention
Bridge
Don't let history repeat itself
Open your eyes look in the mirror and you will see yourself
A reflection deeper self
Rooted in a deeper truth
Learn from others mistakes
And maybe in their action you will see you too
HOOK
Before the video vixens
There was Sarah
Before injections and extensions
There was Sarah
Before the record labels ever did this
The conceit of exploiting black women was invented through Sarah
A yo they did this to Sarah
You know they did this to Sarah
200 years and the cycles still existing
Her story is so repetitious pay attention
