THE OPEN MIC CYPHER

[brokenhal0]

the children play you meant alot to us
but not enough to stay
theres not enough to say
cause in the end it's all flushed away
don't play pretend your amongst the prey

see i come to claim something other then a bunch of fame
our cloth's not cut the same puppet brain justice served
utter shame geometric vein lifeforce so washing machines
stay up in planes vampires counted amongst your change


when there's nothing left not even shackles can touch the blessed
your functions messed just cause you survived the clutch of death
and come back on a sunken ship among the flesh i see above the lift

ill fucking punt your dog over a rugged cliff
smoke a spliff and charge a glyph
wicker chair london bridge london gin
dry with a touch of spit lightening split
a whole fucking brick your teeth whitening
that means your fluoride cant cover shit

my attitude been tight , ritual been right
get ya bitch sliced, for walking on thin ice
slice my wrist, for nights like this
leave your wife and kids, for a life like this

[Mr. J]

medicated high, all I see are the stars in the sky
writ these bars on life while I look beyond the light.
wrote a song about forgiveness, a rhyme bout hope.
a rhyme bout loss and a rhyme about times I was broke.
sunk deep in my chair, blow that weed in the air.
talking to a ghost that really isnt there...
pour liquor on the floor, wrote a rhyme for who want war
wrote a rhyme bout the source, the one that had you on all fours.
begging for more so what else is there to pen?
is he at it again? now they like dust in the wind...
put them up in the gym & hope that they win.
forgot what made sense I put that on the gin
left em with a grin while they snapped each limb
fell from the tree of life so we have to peak tonight
get home or be free of strife in the need of light.
left in the darkness floating endlessly in the galaxy
suckers wanna battle me but cant channel me.
cant hold my attention long enough like I know
scribble without sight Ray Charles smoking hyperbole
beg ya pardon as I water my garden outta boredom
let ya best friend forge em whippin in the foreign
words grippin the forum, treat the ellipses like its important
eye made of gold, do the signature on a whim
James Bond with the pen, take that for a swing.
click three times . . . you are invincible

[brokenhal0]

feeling like a fresh bath when i flex last
i dont need this to end fast best class
mind focused on my next task
visions which I extend past
independent pray to penance
that the best last
save cause it spends fast
headstash zig zag with the whiplash
sig saur with the sour diesel burning tower
steeple hotter evil for alot of people
hallelujah i been hollering for them
not to shoot ya

[Mr. J]

find the concrete slab
Im in an offbeat trance
lost in thought, calmly dance
drop it on me....bam
I rest where zombies laugh
or moan, leave me alone.
you find dead bodies easy to bone
its rigor mortis ungodly forces
squishy sound effects, wobbly corpse head
dirtier than your dorm bed.
riding on the horse thats corn fed.
I felt like Ive been here before
oh well

[Mr. J]

back at it again, the manic & mundane
cracking limbs in the attic unchained.
an addict for fun games at the gun range
flow automatic, sporadic kick, mustang
stood unmatched until the judge came.
some say they know wiser but no writer
wrong...pen game lose grip like old tires
dont matter as long as the average joe likes ya
thats a mouthful and there aint a hoe nicer
look around not another who has control tighter

[Exis]

Inhale & smash you in2 ashes
Gettin' vexed & slapped
Bash you straight to Damascus when tame rappers attack
Stashed the right deck of cards in they bags to murk bastards
Annihilate your lifespan & stash you in a casket with maggots
It ain't 9/11 but still tragic,
I snap these fingers & design magic
I'll swing a sword towards your head & smash you thru the fuckin' door
Makin' your star fall like Fatso's on some rotten bloody fuckin' floors
Connectin' the sword tip to your vocal chords,
Your bitch can suck it up all straw like until her fuckin' nostrils are raw.

[Mr. J]

Read like the apostles law, whether lost or not
follow the lord in awe, hit like swords to hearts
are you bored or not? visions the sorcerer saw
borderline personality disorder, the orderly drops.
let the suppository rot, nothing left for these assholes
watch em stand froze, jack hopping over candles.
hereditary slang yo, next generations sandals & dad clothes
a smashed nose from fights wherever the band goes
brass tax & banjoed, fatigues on the military commando
silver tongue, spoons, goons & a side of biscuits
throw a dope beat down watch em ride to this shit.
its all a matter of vision, forget the slander & wisdom
have fun with it & scratch it like dandruff in the kitchen

[brokenhal0]

your next wishes get visions of holy men
scented with the opium gas and petroleum
i spit the rollie phlegm getting mine like the homey said
drinking a red stripe pupil wide like jinko with the hentai
catch me with a smut during your bedtime
straight butt with her chest high get money your best grind
nowdays you cant fail unless your dead inside
i got a friend in mind extra time it takes
catch your best surprise sketched
looking like your ex should die
heres some lemon pie before you get exorcised
umami with the tommy gun punani smelling like bengali dumps
shorty can get your potty dug knotty love voodoo doll
animated in the lobby front now light it up
eyes widely shut with the copper cup
ritual abuse aaachooo!

[Mr. J]

ya hobby is knobby kneed
a lobbyist thats prolly weak
a life tip....copy me
rhyme monopoly with robbery
roll with a shotty, creep properly
snatch ya property, toss the piece
and get dome from a sloppy freak

[asylum]

that's real talk, watch me walk around 'em full circle
bring it back to the point rollin joints keepin work pulled
toss the ace of spades when this game is played
i rock the fade like spoc crossed for days
hiphop aint lost it just walked off on it's own way
patrown stays fillin the cup i'm still in the cut spillin some guts
no thrill is enough i'm killin ya weak crew to flavor some beef stew
aint foolin with bouillan or boojie bitches i sleep through
watch me climb the tower buildin up sand stone castles from stained streets
our brains keep weakness alive when you're trying to sleep
going insane from the drive so close to madness it creeps in
teeth grow to fangs dripping poisoned secretions
laced inside beats and acid sheets so i keep lit
to many secrets to keep in like your reality means shit
watch me break into pieces falicy too many thumb suckle sleep in
just kiddin man, it happens sudden and frequent
shit dissapearing out your pockets even clothes its indecent
sins reach is far and the voice of reason went quiet
as a stampede of demons more human than human turns a nose to violence

[Sinacog]

beast serpent; defeat worthless vermin in the eyes of a serpent
i've seen seething fangs from obelisks lick tongues from a purpose
i'm seeing the vermons for the seething of thorns
I'm defeating the vermin that came in the swarms
I'm a swan in a lake; i'm never lost and afraid
for I devoured the mule's mouth with the jaw of a snake..

[Mr. J]

appetite of kirby while getting wordy on the nerdy...
bastards with scurvy acting nervy
thats the journey, associated with the unworldly
ya heard of me, quick acquittal no jury fee.
worry free hanging upside down in absurdity
turn a cheek, if they attack inadvertently
turn a blind eye purposely, compare yours to me
give all thats sworn to me, a thorn or three
a horny freak frostbitten with a gift god given
let the prod thicken, and that pots plot thicken
the lost that thought wisdom
was found with yall vision
who is yall kiddin?
a mock trial with mock pigeons

[Exis]

Ayo,

Take a seat next to the special students
I'll teach you a thing or two about mental improvements
I beat penciled rugers,
Get rid of beef? The East/West will sooner
LSD assistin' bodies & on sidewalks we've stenciled tumors
Word of mouth with your mother's bloody legs,
We spread pre-menstraul rumors
& I'll leave you tastin' my funny bone just to give you a sense of humor
The ass of crack whores is closin'
Don't back me?
Well the storm will close in
Lately bar of the years been on my back for abhorrent quotin'
Strapped with abnormal loathin',
You've mastered the form of posin'
I'll leave your head wrapped in cloth like Iraqi formal clothin'
Equippin' Christians,
Exis marks the bridge of distance
It's like I was bringin' heat to Detroit how I'm leavin' blistered Pistons
The herb community is an immediate irritation,
An instant hindrance
I'll give you a toupee of subtracted gymnasts just to split the difference
Which crew is next to slip?
These sexists trip,
Yo get a grip
I'm not talkin' about prayers durin' constipation when I say God's blessed my shit
I'm sick,
Illness like common colds can be found in this veterans spits
Y'all can't cure this,
I'll be tossin' you heaps
That are carried by currents - Now do you catch my drift?

[asylum]

catch me ridin on an arc of lightning
striking deep within a murky sea
grounded to the Earth's pulse like a fossil of a human being
our path left imprints sinking deeper as they rose to shore
blinking for a moment left pieces missing that the world ignores
this puzzle gets completed near an ending only natures plans
it conjures God's from foggy peaks that reach into the souls of man
their ashen arms rip out some gills grasping toward the light of day
hallowed bones crack fingernails to scratch inscriptions in place
written tomes as rites of passage thicken than the bloody stew
we dive deep in the abyss to dine in secret seeking solitude
missiles screech in simple solid tunes to signal lines that evil draws
divide and conquering away from time to fall to rest in sodden straw
last moments let the devil boast before the time when God's disperse
there's good in every beast that walks a solemn path alone on Earth
they nurture with one teet to feed the boar before it grew it's horns
now they dance in silent harmony enlightened by the stars they form
shackles cracking wrists and ankles fall into the hungry dark
giving birth to cosmic soup we dine on in our solemn arc

[Urban Dialect]

I break it down and take it apart, unwrap it, remove the plastic, b4 you can remove the pallet Jack? I've dismantled it, material handling shit while you bitching about having to come in

What happen to men? These young kids work ethic? I don't respect it,
must be a birth defect or a side effect of the vaccine injections,

And if it's a disease, it's infectious, cause everyone they hire seems to be infected
This place needs to be quarantine, cleaned then inspected,

[brokenhal0]

respect it ,your amongst the dead and neglected, the sun resurrected
infected heads ill prepared for this next shit,unaware what the breath is

my verse teach a earth based message, greater work for the lazy man,
tired man for the lazy work, hired gun by admired fans,rewind button
now it's undone

they ask if hal0 is the One ,i don't see in ones and zeros, computer love
rumors spun,shooters defuse a plug, cameras
record who it was

see im anxious without the booze and drugs,move with the eye of god
there's plenty to chose one from, only you do right or wrong,
like im writing scripts with a lighter drawn, burn the page ashes fly away

her shit stink but she got a face,and a special place in my heart,
sex topics how i duplicate baby's in stars,the emotional framing in bars
no need for explaining ,the story is charged,campaigning with your man fading

out for jobs ,debating on landscaping ,like this house is ours,mouths to feed
so i starve myself,whos mouth you ask , not somebody elses ,not for help
question your choices? watch your hell...

[Mr. J]

my whole life living tactical, a radical
after sabbatical its back to you
a trend yall battle through, snaggle toothed
rhyme harder than when Pac had the juice.
remnants of the past packed with clues
watch me whip, yall keep the mask & noose
the tragic truth wrapped in tombs
speaking on your behalf clasping jewels
this is who you want to bring action to?
working with half a screw, thats obtuse
what a scenario that could carry you.
catch shots while I catch the venereal
schedule a dr appt the next day
give a flock what my ex say.
you birds all the same
word usage ill & launch like catapult
coming in bolder, I laugh at dolts
associated press got me on hold
ran up in a plane yelling Geronimo
years of penning flow with no repentence
end it the same way I finish this s...

[Maximus]

unbox the tale and let the people savor the plot
we all feel the weight of the clock as we race to the top
age is a bob, swinging with biological rhythm
everything is in steady flux in a cosmic transition
negative or positive, the constant shift is implicit
a billion changes are encapsulated within a minute
a blend of potions and poisons, smoke and anointing
life is parallel to the dice-rolls and the coin spins.

[Mr. J]

Call the jailer & the jeweler
lace me with gems for the humor
embezzler & mover
rhyme like he flailed in a stupor
writers dont write like they used ta
escape & W like DB Cooper
make the shot, And1 on ya losers
ball & point, Triangle offense in Bermuda
holla at me if you need a tutor
been writing free before the computers
cleaner than users of the loofers
bang heads harder than sub-woofers
ukulele in the background got me heated
roasting pigs like we feasting
catching up to styles from last season
get lifted & walk on water, a personal jesus
restoring faith to the lost & egregious
consider it demeaning
consider it senseless or conceited
a bag full of cheez its
topped with cheese whiz
left the contenders like gee whiz

[brokenhal0]

and i mean this another chapter with a rather mean fix
toss some water on that phoenix with a mean drip
heres some kleenex make some room im gonna squeeze in
cheap seats with the cheap gin big chief with a mean grin
always gave momma grief head feet in the deep end
these turns got some deep bends you gotta learn how to lean in
counting cheese wiz melting while the seas red doritos with a free spread
preplexed so preserve now a perverted reflection only seems worse
when the weeds next i move like a creeps thirst smooth like a beach shirt
sally sold some sea shells but she only sees dirt i told her baby get clean first
and maybe you will see worth and thats worth a steal if you seem hurt
you was already worth a meal with a free smirk in a jean shirt that energy works
