Fire flowers bloom in the grasses between sewer pipes
Money hides in boxes every moment here is do or die
Time ya jumping wrong and it might resemble suicide
Gambling in cavers and there isn’t time for who am I
Fungus in a gloved hand
Race against a toadstool
Slay a fucking dragon in a castle cause I’m old school
Turtles toss hammers, ride clouds, and grow food
In and out dreamlands searching for your own truth
Brother wears jumpsuit
Lady comes from royalty
Throw on my Tanooki Suit
The fucker gives me buoyancy
True to every mission and I have no other loyalty
Don't look away, don't get squashed
Ghost hunt the manor where the concrete drops
The birds have shells, some of which know better
Snuff a bloodline of amphibious go-getters
The messages are blunt and written like old letters
A pissed off star chases me through the desert
Careful of the weather as you head to other levels
Tiny masked men spitting bullets like the devil
My sticky tongued dinosaur eats prey alive
It breathes underwater, spits fire and flies
I wake up in the starting point if ever I should die
If I don’t cross the finish line I’m running out of time
Flag Please.

Covert agent mercenary adjacent
Trained with the Shinobi
Sunday mornings half naked
Sketching maps for Samus Aran in a Rogers Park basement
The older the more careful
The younger the more patient
Zenith was so heavy
Controllers were so basic
Latchkey kids, eat generic cold cuts
Guiding Sonic through the tropics
Ass down toes up
Never set to easy
It was victory or teasing
Where you’d stake your reputation
On the outcome of an evening
Pixelated homicide
And button combo beatings
M. Bison talking shit
When he broke you like a ceiling
Its hurt feelings
Are you salty?
Are you bleeding?
Did you finish all your cleaning for some French Vanilla Edys?
Pick a 1990s autumn full of tricks for trick or treating
Where wild n’ crazy kids found some freedom in believing
Milk could give you powers
Magic spells just needed reading
Approaching adolescence over strange new feelings
Questions come to light
Like
Who are you really?
007 between Jackie Chan flicks
Movie taught karate fought the awkward anguish
You doubt your parents but the stereo trusted
Cause Wu Tang clan aint nothing to fuck with
Stack of VHS cause I never did shit
Vicent Vega shoots dope in a cherry red whip

Storefront glass bursts onto the city streets
A country shouting loudly and it wonders if you’re listening
Cautious and exhausted as it mumbles it’s soliloquy
Buildings burn like cigarettes
Your leader gassed the ministry
No problem with elections
It’s the options that you giving me.
Why these rock stars turn cop cars to chimneys.
Bobby wide awake while you sleeping with the enemy
Power to the people till we're equal over everything
Nothings ever banned like a hand with a wedding ring
Choke a man to death and televise the evidence
Oedipus on reddit like they should’ve practiced etiquette
Proof is in the pudding and the puddings full of medicine
Ya hopping off the fence I’m a menace to the menacing
Fuck Joe Biden. What the fucks the point of settling?
Build an institution and the senate would be trembling.
I’m sick to death of centrists and everything they’re peddling.
You people aren’t the answer. It's the question that’s unsettling.
What is freedom worth if it never leads to better things?
I’d rather kill your kings than keep voting for your presidents
I’d rather clip it’s wings than add wings upon my residence
Where brutality is legal the laws become irrelevant
You want to start an era in a period of sentences?
Beg for validation that you traded for your relevance
Mimicking your masters cause their slavery was elegant
It’s why you getting jacked
In a room full of elephants
My thoughts are very sobering
You coming down from sedatives
Knock before you enter and do not disturb the Mexican
I swear to God you motherfucks are going to be the death of him
I remember thinking words were building blocks for pyramids
Bumping Hieroglyphics hoping some would take it serious
Hoping against hope I don’t feel this way forever
A bunch of manic episodes
That sleep will string together
I remember thinking words were building blocks for pyramids
Bumping Hieroglyphics hoping some would take it serious
Hoping against hope I don’t feel this way forever
A bunch of manic episodes
That sleep will string together
The plot thickens we are trapped in a page
In a hole in the wall like a rat in a cage
History and violence are rehearsed like a play
We’re played like card and then carted away
Can we think can we act
Can we collectively change?
Is how we treat each other what we expect in exchange?
It makes them nervous when the people find a purpose
Gotta watch what you eat
Gotta practice what you preach
Gotta learn gotta teach
No Justice, No peace
You take away a life
People take away the street
It’s not about the mask or what’s hidden underneath
It’s not about your party having parties at the beach
I try to be the shepard with a flock of fucking sheep
But who am I to lead? I’m exhausted as my feet
Throwing caution to the wind
Feeling winded when I speak
I’m sickness I’m the symptom
Quoting Milhouse in my sleep
Oh Puppy Goo Goo fetch me a dream
Running from a creature from the comfort of a Jeep
Screaming in a camera like I’m Meryl fucking Streep
Raindrops crash, still water in a glass
I escape, I am great, I’m awake in a flash
Look at that, I wanted what I have
I turned the written word into grifted gift of gab
I am not a writer I’m a thinker with a plan
I blink the big picture and the simple understand
But vanity persists posting pics on the Gram
I’m a spic, sailing down the river Styx in a raft
I am hip, I’m the shit, I am rich, I am sad
Watch a country profit flip every kid it can grab
I get pissed, I persist, swing and miss, God Damn
I complicate the simple and I simplify the man
Then I put it over music and release it to the fans
I remember thinking words were building blocks for pyramids
Bumping Hieroglyphics hoping some would take it serious
Hoping against hope I don’t feel this way forever
A bunch of manic episodes
That sleep will string together

People know I rap no one really listens
Sitting in the kitchen spitting writtens to the fucking dishes.
Staring at the silverware
Polishing a spoon
Whack cats act like they walked on the moon
Real cats know what it takes to succeed
Money ain’t the goal it’s the fruit from the seed
Freedom and control form the truth that I seek
Put away the plates like I do all week
Soup bowls scratched like an overused word
Everyone’s a genius Everyone’s a nerd
Fucks like a porn star free of concern
Cats need the talk like the bees and the birds
Wait, Stop
I’m not even done
Cats can’t rap and they all want that love
Cats can’t write and they all want praise
Bob kill a track and verse all day
Write, revise smoke weed and don’t die
Dougie mix the beat Bobby fill it with dope lines
You can have the mic when you witness the pork fly
And with a little practice you’ll be awful in no time
Do as I wish I’m a twig in the clay
Say what I mean and I’m mean everyday
I should get a haircut. I should lose some weight.
I should taste the poison in my validation shake.
I should stretch and mediate. I should eat more carrots.
I should say I love you without feeling so embarrassed.
I should call my parents. I should eat less pork.
I should save the money that I leave in every store.
I should start a business. I should finish verses.
Over thinking lyrics like I spit that shit in cursive.
I should go to therapy I should go to sleep.
Avoiding every memory I buried somewhere deep.
I should read more books and a lot less news.
I should stay informed even though I fear the truth. .
I should get my teeth cleaned. I should get my head checked.
I should call my enemies and see if they are dead yet.
Write, revise smoke weed and don’t die
Dougie mix the beat Bobby fill it with dope lines
You can have the mic when you witness the pork fly
And with a little practice you’ll be awful in no time

Mikey runs fast. Kind of like the Flash
In and out of trouble Pretty good at being bad
A firm belief nothing So nothing ever lasts
Eating from the cans full of garbage in the back
It's Graham's scrambled eggs and leftover ham
A bite of chicken nugget at the bottom of the bag
A scrappy little fucker with a target on his back
Eastern cottontails share a patch of city grass
Crawls into a gutter close his eyes and took a nap
Dreaming of his parents and the places where there at
His mom got caught his dad got trapped
Haunted by the shadows of an ever looming hand
His pictures on a box everybody want him dead
It's nada till the noche when he knows you're home in bed
Small beady eyes. Large pink ears
Tendency to hide and a healthy sense of fear
Mikey tells tales without making a peep
Never worked a day nor waited to eat
It's a trap it's a trap
The perfect piece of cheese
A punishment for gluttons
Be careful where you eat
I'm telling you right now
You will never hear the snap
It will break your fucking back
It's a trap it's a trap
It's a trap it's a trap
The perfect piece of cheese
A punishment for gluttons
Be careful where you eat
I'm telling you right now
You will never hear the snap
It will break your fucking back
It's a trap it's a trap it's
Can't touch this
Seriously you might get sick
Trema-todes and nema-todes
fleas disease mites and tics
I sleep. I hide. I bite. I dip.
I eat. I fuck. I fight. I live.
I'm hashtag rodents ride again
We got here on a pirate ship
Now hold your tongue
You piles of shit
You hypocrites you violent pricks
A pound of flesh a mound of bricks
The sound of of sober violence
Scatter through your cities like a gathering storm
I'm snacking off your trapping the hell is a door?
Your wasteful sense of purpose feeds the alley and more
I'm a buck. I'm a doe. I'm a mammal. I'm a foe.
I've been known to start a plague.
I will eat your FUCKING toes
The steward of the sewers
Roving mischief of crud
Jack off all trades Master of None
Cloaked in the assumption that I wouldn't be a problem
Luckily for me cats turn greener than a goblin
Well I am da foe
creator of the content
Comic book flow
Illuminate the concept
Weary of a gimmicks that they peddle to the prospects
My genuine advice don't listen to what Bob says
Heros fight the winners
The remainder pull the dogsled
It's a trap it's a trap
The perfect piece of cheese
A punishment for gluttons
Be careful where you eat
I'm telling you right now
You will never hear the snap
It will break your fucking back
It's a trap it's a trap
It's a trap it's a trap
The perfect piece of cheese
A punishment for gluttons
Be careful where you eat
I'm telling you right now
You will never hear the snap
It will break your fucking back
It's a trap it's a trap it's
It's a trap it's a trap
The perfect piece of cheese
A punishment for gluttons
Be careful where you eat
I'm telling you right now
You will never hear the snap
It will break your fucking back
It's a trap it's a trap it'

Cold thoughts
It shivers sniffing bark
I’m crouched behind a boulder
Well hidden in the dark
Tooth shaped daggers
Instant Instinct and harm
There are no fucking sorrys
Am I eating or nah
A bloody introduction
Let me see what you got
Your DNA on flowers
Builds a trail where I stop
I eat you by a river
When the season alots
I let the fungus finish
Pay the keeper its cut
I wish we could compete
But I prey when you pray
I’m pissing rappers off
With irrelevant names
It isn’t that your bad
I’m just better than great
I choke a woke rapper
Take a date to the wake
And I don’t need the money kid
I save what you make
I kill breaks
Like cars with ill fates
I spit bars
And body this shit hard
I’ll kill a big star like tacos
In Wicker park

King of the molehill captain of the shipwreck
My whole life is a picnic overrun by insects
Running with the bulls or napping with the cats
I miss smoking weed in alleys and then shopping for a snack
Coffee in a diner, headliners at The Aragon
Tipping Daisy Cutters watching yuppies run a marathon
Vinyl on a wood shelf pockets full of spider lunch
Bobby Rok the type of guy to do the things you might’ve done
Not your favorite emcee shit but I’m the brightest one
If you think you better let me see it like ya lighter Bub
My enemies all vanished when they started having kids
I sing Spanish language ballads taking baggage out the fridge
Charming as the Wolverine in comics books and movie screens
You fucking lames are all the same your verses aren’t moving me
Really really big words ity bity dumb thoughts
Most cats quit when the glory and the fun stops
Bobby grab a mic like a trigger make a gun pop
Closet full of hoodies like a cookie full of gum drops
I suck until I’m dope I fail until I don’t
I measure time in podcasts my hair is never combed
In no specific order I'm a danger to the throne
I walked in off the street and took the sabre out the stone
Please stay home
Please stay home
The world all but closed and there's nowhere left to go
I do not have an idol so my life is rather peaceful
I would never trust a system that would have me as an equal
Please stay home
Please stay home
The world all but closed and there's nowhere left to go
I do not have an idol so my life is rather peaceful
I would never trust a system that would have me as an equal
What up B-Rok?
Gotta tell you this beat rocks
Reminds me a little bit of Premier and some Pete Rock
After you came by around five we got high on the treetops
Rappers hit you with vibes till your eyes start to see spots
Free Crops with the first thirty emcees to come and freestyle
Don’t freak out when you realize we’ve been doing it since you schemed about it
Be about it. Which means you can’t breathe without it.
Can’t eat or sleep without a beat
I dream about it. My teams rowdy!
Fairweather fans in stands looks like rain seems cloudy
Hooked on pain, weed brownies
Caught empty seeds sprouting
Soft emcees need Downey
SOme advice on how to hold it down
ANd someone in accounting
It’s a numbers game but who’s counting?
I am and so is Bob!
We’re first to drop the bomb on you
Blew your damn mind with a landmine
We demand rhymes from all of you
By the campfire with a vampire and a mad tire got a lot to lose
Satire by a rap guy with a bad wire becoming spider food!
Please stay home
Please stay home
The world all but closed and there's nowhere left to go
I do not have an idol so my life is rather peaceful
I would never trust a system that would have me as an equal
Please stay home
Please stay home
The world all but closed and there's nowhere left to go
I do not have an idol so my life is rather peaceful
I would never trust a system that would have me as an equal

My former bully tried selling me insurance
It made me think of tigers performing at the circus.
He should be in a jungle instead he’s at my service
Like monsters drinking coffee in a chair behind the curtain
It appears my worst fears are paid scale to be a burden
Gladiators guard the tavern while I’m inside drinking Bourbon
Everyone one of us in costume peddling a purpose
Looking for our names in the news that makes us nervous
While politicians promise they are robbing us in earnest
Coming up with cures for the people that they’re hurting
Stewing in the pot that a silver spoon is stirring
The futures so bright and incredibly disturbing
And I don’t have the answers I’m just trying to sell the wording
See myself in others how the fuck am I still horny?
Flirting with my forties Life's a string of Monday mornings
Worried I sound corny as I shrug off every warning
Bobby rocks chaps at the drop of a hat
I stay cool under pressure cause you suckas are whack
Bobby roks cats at the top of their game I make cool motherfuckers look angry and lame
Okay?
Revenge of the nerds
Invasion of the geeks
Five dudes run the planet from a mansion by the beach
I used to fear death but now I fear living
Cause every fucking day the wrong sides winning.
Revenge of the nerds
Invasion of the geek
Five dudes run the planet from a mansion by the beach
I used to fear death but now I fear living
Cause every fucking day the wrong sides winning.
I have labored in cocinas with the people you hate
Not a rich kid playing poor catching every single break
I was breaking down your tables for very little wage
Life becomes a stage when your ass is getting played
The further down you go the longer down you stay
The less you getting paid the more you feel the shame
Getting angry over nothing almost every single day
Hear your single getting played while you're washing people’s plates
Buying passes for the train at the currency exchange
Serve the Scooby Doo gang veggie burgers in the shade
Being told by trust funds I’m not cool enough to hang
As they gentrified the place that they claimed to want to save
Courting underpaid teachers teaching me their ways
On how to live on nothing when there’s nothing left to gain
The working class aint dying it’s just dying to be free
Eating tacos and pozole getting drunk and smoking weed
Revenge of the nerds
Invasion of the geek
Five dudes run the planet from a mansion by the beach
I used to fear death but now I fear living
Cause every fucking day the wrong sides winning.
Revenge of the nerds

I wing it with the pigeon
Flying through the mission
Ruffled feathers in position
Random thought
The redemption is off
Robert pllants an image
Led Zeppelin mirage
Random thought
Sweat Tears and Love
It’s in My DNA To bathe the canvas in blood
Random Thoughts
Clutch the crux in a tux
A book of missed spells covered in dust
Young D.R.U.
Random thought:
I’m only rapping cuz it’s cheaper than a therapist,
Flow is gold I should be a medalist,
no drug dealer soo scared ta pedal this,
Random thought:
I can b upended, cancelled /unfriended,
Not for my beliefs but a random thought,
Higher plane undetermined watt,
I’m sniper that hesitated: didn’t think I had a shot, touched the pot only to realize I’m really hot,
Both:
Puttin my time in my rhyme,
(Puttin the rhyme in the times,)
The times in my mind,
(The time in my mind,)
Put in the lines it’s my time and my rhymes
(Not for nought but random thoughts…)
Young D.R.U.:
Am I deep in thoughts or deep in shit?
-The deeper I spits the weaker my quit…
Bob:
The whack settle for for scraps and back peddles
We crack metal win fans and rap battles
Random thought
What is it that I want
Wake up in a cold sweat
Glowing in the dark
Young D.R.U.:
Fear is the night light it shine bright,
But I fight no flight bars barks got bite,
Bob:
Random though a surgeon with the pen
Mommy's little burn out turning verses into bread
Young D.R.U.:
Look at how he feeded what the ears needed:
Fans repeated while the teens tweeted,
Random thought:
We just ran this track: Jackie Joyner kersey,
Pad wanna shine like Young Dru Rehearse me!!
Random thought
Bobby minted by the Fitz
Thanks for Pressing Start
Don't kill Don't Trip
Puttin my time in my rhyme,

The times in my mind,

Warming up to cold drinks
Olives in the toothpick
Everything he touch turns gold into a goose egg
Hair like a Greek god
Face like a toothache
In-between ignored and when you dropping new shit
Splinter in the sewer teaching turtles how to do things
Dreaming of an afterlife early rise and exercise
Meditate Nirvana my philosophy is never mind
Naked in the pool
I'm a graduate of better times
Wordy superpowers and an hour left of sunlight
Finishing my coffee and a little tree like Bonzai
Razor tongued tornado dust
Twist a word and paper cuts.
I can spot the fakers like the maker of a trailer truck
Cats are hot garbage that includes the famous ones
The paper chase is lame as fuck
And caked in flaky flavor buds
And I don't need to say this but
my follow is fucking dangerous
Here's to making labor love
Thank you from your favorite one
This is a song about songs
These records are my legacy I love them more than anything
This is a sound about sound
Giant rattled speakers and some jumping around
This is a song about songs
These records are my legacy I love them more than anything
This is a sound about sound
Giant rattled speakers and some jumping around
Wonder Showzen Beat Kids
Playing over Red Man
My orchids bloom in orbit while you fill another bed pan
Scribble in my parts under candlelight and harp
The flow surrounds the Ark full of animal and art
A large ass crowd will show you who the fuck you are
The infamy of stars hidden in Chicago bars
Lames play games learn to aim in the dark
Rok the brain the shark you are taken apart
There are jokers there are clown and the difference is clear
With my only friend the pen I make pencils disappear
While I pencil in the weird
Who take pretzels with their beer
I’m the fortune’s only heir
Feed the tortoise to the hare
I throw wrestlers in the air and then hit them with the chair
Yeah, I’ve been writing perfect lines
Since trees were full of Turpentine
I've been drinking coffee cold
I hockey check these choppy flows
You foodie pics
ya sloppy joes
You motherfucks are cocky though
This is a song about songs
These records are my legacy I love them more than anything
This is a sound about sound
Giant rattled speakers and some jumping around
This is a song about songs
These records are my legacy I love them more than anything
This is a sound about sound
Giant rattled speakers and some jumping around
Oh look at this…
No t-shirt, Bandanna, Muddy boots.
Hey Rambo, do me a favor, take off your boots at the door!
Okay???
Okay?
You’re gonna come in here.
You’re gonna listen to Bob Rok’s music.
Okay
Okay
You’re gonna play fucking nice
Cause i’m not here to fuck around today
Alright
Not here to fuck around
Oh, you got to use the bathroom? Oh your Majesties gotta use the bathroom, everybody.
What the matter kid?
What's the matter kid?
You don’t know how to piss at home? Okay?
This is a hip hop song. It’s not about your desires to pee
The world is closed and people are very anxious about that.
Because they’re having an existential crisis
Can you appreciate that?
I don’t think you can.
You fucking Ma-luke!

Dallas ate an omelette in the corner booth alone
Paid his bill smoked a cigarette and paid to use the phone
Said rudely as he left “My eggs were fucking cold”
Rock a Dark denim jacket switchblade and a comb
Headed to the crib, bare mattress and his shit
He’s a rebel, he’s devil, he’s a clever little prick
Running scams for this and that beer money and a lid
Priors in New york, But OKC, is where he live
Catch a movie, hit on cuties, smoke a doobie by the bridge
A lost generation wanders through the matrix
Underfed intellect, overtaxed paychecks
Problem solving fist fights, promise kept bracelets
Unkempt greasy hair young and abrasive
Booze hounds howl
Echoes fall against the moon
A moment for the orchids, the gorgeous and the truth
An opus from the hopeless resonates across the room
Without proof there's so much he could prove
The animal in man is the greater of the two
He eats Cold cuts without closing the fridge
Enjoys a lonely moment of emotional bliss
Catch a glimpse of his face over an unkempt sink
Then its shit, shower, shave I’ll be over at six
He ain't gotta say much
Cuz, she know what it is
Families rise and fall like the needles in the pines. It hardly makes a sound to the eagles in the sky.
Careful who you chase and anything you catch
When the going gets tough there's no going back
Dallas left the hospital with one less friend
Angry and defeated by the burden of death
A distorted soul trapped in a portion of map
Sorted vocals fall flat watch the oracle snap
It's the crypt that persists modern man and his lists
Lit cigarette gripped at the base of his lips
Gets sick in the sink finds the exit and dips
Now he pissed and adrift out by like Francis and fifth
Too exist is a trick that's enriched by a switch
But the pain this inflicts is persistently shit
Dallas grips the weapon in a trembling hand
Gimme all the money He ain't asking again
He took the money out the drawer
Put the money in the bag
Cop shop em twice in the head as he left
Dallas died impressed A magnificent death
Leave your message at the tone
I will never call you back
Families rise and fall like the needles in the pines. It hardly makes a sound to the eagles in the sky.
Careful who you chase and anything you catch
When the going gets tough there's no going back
Families rise and fall like the needles in the pines. It hardly makes a sound to the eagles in the sky.
Careful who you chase and anything you catch

The shadows dances in the moonlight
The shadows dances in the moonlight
The shadows dances in the moonlight
The shadows dances in the moonlight
Manilla envelope
Black and white headshot
Target on his back like a map with a red dot
Skipped town with an improvised plan
Now it's motels, cigarettes and baskets of bread
Take the money and run only then are you chased
Feels the stress in the mirror
The pursuit in his veins
He carries premonition like a satchel of bricks
Exhausted as he flees from a gathering mist
Shadows from a Stetson covers the chin
Footsteps in the corridor echoing strings
Manic steps, panicked breathe
Cat chase the mouse through the labyrinth
Cloaked vessel Hovers like a black cloud
Haunting movie music softly bleeding in the background
Color drains like water from a trembling face
The image seen in pupils is incredibly grave
He takes a deep breath it's almost relief
The room goes blank the parties deceased
