Hip hop Philly feel me world In this bubble of politics circle jerks and the crookedness I'm jettison from the grip that envelop men developing thick skin/ The fear of God up in they eyes from every line should be a sermon how I convert them to counterclockwise/ letting out sighs act as if its dyslectic try not to catch the message he conscious political preachy/ ya average nigga talk of gun drugs and hoes is beneath me/ I'm not afraid to reach the greatness innate still I embrace the labels/ breaking through your myopic view microscopic to a giant prone to go on a tirade the beast that fear made/ even corporations couldn't slow his pace a mix of love and rage engage them with a guile they tactics are futile/ I'm crafting my spaceship escaping jealously and hatred grilling faces on to bigger and better places/ highly mistaken thinking they petty cliques can stop intentions pragmatic with imagination and a Eagle vision Chorus Gotta get up gotta get out and do something my city's a bubble where they hand cuff him ugh against all odds rejection and doubt in a bout against crabs who try to block ya man trajectory mad still gon blow One of the illest that's around believe me I'll continue to put it down people know One of the illest that's around believe me I'll continue to put it down ugh Verse 2 In a place full of clutter with clarity some play the parody where the name and meaning meet a great disparity/ Philly sincerely bred the edge ever present behead the dead fed off the dysfunction drug and alcohol consumption I do nothing but inhale the staleness of my domicile/ profiling cops with stop and frisk seeking my exodus twist its nothing like it insisted upon staying inviting hostility is silly I see/ scared children with silent screams behind ya mug mean trust my inner conscious to accomplish what the ridged couldn't adjust/ freeing the gridlock waters with mercury and hemlock phrases is de-tox jotting them hymns free em heavenly with a grin/ surveyor of subtleties comprehend/ working with opposition my piston fueled by blind omission/ guess I'm driving by doubt taking real estate why ask permission throwing the middle finger to tradition Chorus Gotta get up gotta get out and do something my city's a bubble where they hand cuff him ugh against all odds rejection and doubt in a bout against crabs who try to block ya man trajectory mad still gon blow One of the illest that's around believe me I'll continue to put it down people know One of the illest that's around believe me I'll continue to put it down

Stellar flow ironic how I got it from the cellar grandma Drucilla dusty records spinning would be propellers family tells him its your natural calling recalling the rusty horns posters and crates would guide me to my present state 45 plates fisher price player light swinging close to my face reading titles and credits off the page idolize the way artist convey they souls inner workings indebted to predecessors my ear drums was taking lessons who would have know poems grown from what Marley and Isley shown exodus I manage on a voyage to Atlantis couldn't understand it at first cousins rehearse verses for fun rewriting them as stanzas got more candid I found a landing of inner vision unspoken quiet would listen documenting our everyday events was just for kicks how my kin provided me the perfect tool kit natural progression this is how the mind responded. Chorus what you won't do do for love you tried everything but you don't give up what you won't do do for love you tried everything but you don't give up Lycoming st. North Philly home for most of my years honing what you hear cousins cassettes caught in deck rewind it with a pair of sissors or ya fingers listen closely to the radio for bangers sensed the anger angst and grit folks herd the 36 chamber skit was barely kid grands flipped snatched it yet I mastered the rapping bit repetition took some years to figure the saying math and slang as I made my way hydroplaning on the astral plane minds the capsule capture what they call nostalgia a reflection how developed my style down to vocal inflections music collection extensive comprehensive the influence from the old to new a student tutored by no institution fluid or staccato conceptual or bottled in a braggadocios note which the illadelp provoked thinking how to script more mind bending quotes uncensored wisdoms of youth they cringe at what I wrote Chorus what you won't do do for love you tried everything but you don't give up what you won't do do for love you tried everything but you don't give up tried everything but you wont give up everything but you wont give up you tried everything but you won't give up up uuuuup uuuuup uuuuup

Yo Photogenic phrases they tell me quil slow ya pace they'll never catch ya statements mind is the projector cosmos convey creations saying that you closer to the essence or the angels no my angle is to aim through the diversions that revert them into chips mere blips on the screen of someone else existence as some attempt to fit into those meager roles play second fiddle an image grows that paints the pixel into clear crystal who dares to shape this realm from the mind stands at the helm of the Human family defines understanding my serotonin zoning envision prophecy thats self fulling constructed from images that I'm building engineer the present for my children's children revealing a skill they said was insignificant or unreal the unknown where some feel uncomfortable spontaneously structured imagination is whats ruptured got the power to convey the unseen conductor graph er and constructor giving reality its structure if you Chorus If you just imagine what you can be as I convey things from the unseen vivid scenes turn serene as my eyes close develop negatives from pictures of the unknown If you just imagine what you can be as I convey things from the unseen vivid scenes turn serene as my eyes close eyes close as my eyes close You ever peep fear in the eyes of those who can't conceptualize your reference continue to cling to they limited learned perspective giving thanks for those who refuse to lean on their blind acceptance giving thanks to what they knew the tried not always true all praises do to innovators pioneering love belief and labor to places that most couldn't see irrational reaction creative countless unknown with passion with boundaries that gave no satisfaction see what happens when you out the circumference of your comfort take some faith but more critical thinking open mindedness and patience countless doubters in them baby stages who had imagination buried at their kindergarten ages amazing.

about

Land of Synth is Aquil first full Length LP involved production using synthesizers, yet touched on several issues dealing with authenticity and synthetic. Featuring several producers this project still remains cohesive in its message and theme of using creativity and imagination to break out of the synthetic trappings of the dull trite and mundane.
