Symphony - sym•pho•ny/simfənē/ - An elaborate musical composition for a full orchestral sound,
Including large-scale vocal work and instrumental melody; characterized by a harmonious combination of elements.

This mixtape/album is a culmination of multiple talents, time, and trust. Symphony started in 2008 on a solo note, but ends with the inclusion of many. I’ve always understood that you are defined by the company you keep; and my family consists of some of the most creative, passionate, energetic, intelligent, and musical people you’ll ever encounter. To say that “My favorite artists are my friends” is a huge blessing and understatement. Symphony consists some of the best in rap, R&B, slam poetry, freestyle, pop, classical, and jazz. There is something in here for everyone. If you can relate to love, hate, poverty, power, pop culture, pride, classics, new school, and the hip hop steez, then there is a song here for you.

Track Name: The Debut ft. M Dela Cruz & Shift The MC
(Izzy)
Welcome to the
Symphony Mixtape
My name is Izzy
I’ll be your guide for the day
So let me say
I am just a Filipino MC
Learn to spit in tongues burning like the third degree
If you know Kweli then you prolly heard of me
Just another part of the Blacksmith Community
Unity
Unify
Intangible until I die
Rapping rapid automatic
Cosmonaut is genocide
Hy to Zy, I & I
Dynasty Style
We bout to fly

(M Dela Cruz)
There’s no way that you can’t find the other side
Come with me and maybe we can get so high
So maybe you can start to live the way I do
It’s time for new beginnings this is our debut

(Izzy)
Swag so don draper, mad men
Loosen up the noose and you tighten the wrong end
We been in the song then
With Shift this aint news
Debut our first track
We rap we rack views
Tied for the second place, everybody is
I
So far ahead
No need to slow down
Hold it now, grip
Cry for your release
Cardiac arrest it won’t cease
Call the police
Died now you see the beast
Turn into a pillar
I know we spitting murder
Cuz the fans want a killer flow
Jack the ripper
Jackson thriller
Feed on emcees
You are my second dinner, go
Yung flow mo pare, mashadong panis na
Saket sa ulo ko
saket sa tenga
Merong kang
Isang verse
Better to rehearse it
You spit like my moms
Better take up nursing

(M Dela Cruz)
There’s no way that you can’t find the other side
Come with me and maybe we can get so high
So maybe you can start to live the way I do
It’s time for new beginnings this is our debut

They used to say that I’d amount to nothing
Nobody ever really stood a chance
Now we can be together here forever
Let’s take this life and hold it by the hand

(Shift the MC)
Always dreamt from a young age, id be that front page
It aint trickin’ if you got it, you’re not made
Demolish objects simple to complex
I want to move the streets like I called in a bomb threat
Caught in the same hustle, doing insane numbers
And there's "no letting go"... Wayne Wonder
I wonder what they hear if it aint hunger
And when I see fame, I’ll remain humble
Don’t you see? We’re part of the same struggle
Shift and Izzy blowing up, but it aint bubbles
This is our de-but, so listen up now
It’s a celebration; this is how we get down
You got to get up and on your feet
Keep stepping on them haters; it’s called "the feet"
Stay lifted when I spit bars, it’s hard to reach
Got them tripping over flows like it’s hard to speak

(M Dela Cruz)
There’s no way that you can’t find the other side
Come with me and maybe we can get so high
So maybe you can start to live the way I do

(Izzy)
It’s time for something new;
Now.
Track Name: B.E.A.S.T. (Beat Elegance: A Sound Trigger) ft. The Cosmonauts
(Izzy)
I begin this genesis
A menace to medicine
I'm a disease
Dig deep in the thought
We Blast process this
I can do what Nintendont
Zoom past you
You tailing in my green zone two
I got to be
Be the one to beat
I don't wanna be
Sleeping on it like you
There in the grave
Not a day
Goes by
I bring the dead alive
Unleash the beast that hides
Hold it down for the Far East side
We beastin on it
And we only getting started
Off with his head
Eyo We ain't even to the best part of it
Go

(Zev)
I self born
Mind shell torn
Time spell worn
Divine hell spawn
In a sense genesis Grendel street walker nemesis
Inner-beast mental deep talker penmanship
Killing you lames reptilian brain stem obsidian
Name sends a shivering straight through sciatica
Straight to the toes
Of men like when them frozen in Attica
Know we from the attic not the basement
Bomb the nation
Abomination breed ceiling ascendants
Peeling appendages
Screaming in languages
Rotting in anguish
Plotting entanglement
Tossed
Lost at sea
Might be our last world
But at least we're free
This is the cost of living in these
Lost turbulent times where we're losing humanity but at least beasts are
Free.

(Izzy)
Do you see the beast within you?
Smiling back, smiling back.
I can see the beast within you
Smiling back. Smiling back.

(Bamboo MC)
Verbal conflict, I let Intangibles spit
Anything beyond that I make the animals click
They tell me "Bam, you aint gotta put your hands on a b****
Cuz you got too much family to handle the s***
In a bikini bar like "I'll start a slam up in this"
Putting poetry from the kitchen on a national tip
Crazy brave like a Puerto Rican Nationalist
I tell it like it is, you’re asking for it

(B-Nice)
Yeah I'm an animal a mammal with unmistakable mandibles
Humanoid wizard whip up words that's understandable
Brain chip implantable barcode scannable
Prison self made cage bars exist tangible
Living in a cell with my laptop and my cell
People texting people Tweeting they all looking for a reason
Please don't feed the creatures just admire all their features
As we beast upon your kickers and we feast upon your tweeters.

(Bamboo MC)
I don’t drink like a man, I drink like a menace
Gimme a Jameson on the rocks and a Guinness
Strictly business
Heavens to Murgatroids
That aint no beef
That’s a burger, boy
This duck's all in the sauce and never heard of soy
Check my impeccable rap sheet
Plus your girl says she loves my freckles and gap teeth
You a gas leak that's why your lyrics don’t have heat
And everything that the cosmonauts spitting is mad beast

(B-Nice)
And guess who's coming next? Snapping like drums to necks
Izzy Man productions, you like it? Then he's the one to text
This is the genesis I'll show you what eugenics is
Population manipulation the beast venomous
It's an inscription like rebellion by Egyptians
Makes us beast back on them because chilling ain't efficient
We got lives to lead and a destiny an immensity of intensity
Quiet as kept, a lion that slept but I'm beastin’ if you mention B

(Izzy)
“B” to the “E” to the “A-S-T”
Yo fam, it's how I do
Intangible, DynastyStyle?
Eyo, we kill it too
Float like a fly
Sting like a bee
Just me
Izzy
Emcees
We bleed
Mmhmm
We rhyme this time in poetry
This ain't the remix, no mmm mmm
We need no more di ba? (Right?)
If you get to hear this, hah
You lucky man
Naka jempok ka (You got lucky)
I am a Macintosh
I’m spitting applesauce
You think you're rapping Linux
But you stuck on ms dos
C prompt, C prompt
Emulate the swagger CD-Rom
Man I'm Michael Haggar
Swinging wack emcees till the break of dawn
Done with the tricks
I’m mixing my sixteen
I spit in sixteen bit
Pause for the beat
My drum kit dream
Is like my team
We making hits
So catch your breath
You need it more
Beat elegance
Did I mention?
That I've been
Sent from dimension four
Sound the trigger
We never settle dust
Now all your base, are belong to us

(Jimmytheloch)
No nonsense Jimmytheloch’s got this
Leave an unconscious hippopotamus and the bottom of Lake Loch Ness
I gain strength laughing living a sinner’s fate
Liberate then eliminate and imitate in a trait jaded
Troll invaders as gold traders living with souls vacant
Vampire hunter raising the stakes Las Vegas
My eyes buggin out that's a grade A peepshow
Start flippin out like Marshawn Lynch in beast mode
Sit back just watch as I metamorph
Let it go spiritual blast set if off
Not adding it up never enough
Be sure to get a foot in the door before ya bumrush
Hit it by the hundred punching undead
I’m walking around with a bald head
Never know a true fortune when a palm’s read
Forget a cover I’m shining above it
Kick it forward
Drinking 40s in my toga
I been told I’m no good
Crack open a cold one
Fold a rolly golden token
Hoping not broken slot
Another daydream or hair brained scheme
Duking it out with Sasquatch
I play a violin to summon Leviathan
Mind control hidden in the Flintstones vitamins
I patrol the scariest barriers of this plight I’m in
I love people living and breathing in all types of skin
You can throw me into the heart of the viper’s pit
But ill still make you jump overboard like that iceberg did
Front and center stage I remain unfazed give a sick performance
That’ll make you rise from your grave
Track Name: Color Me ft. Ayinde
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Purple

If I could be the finger running through your locks
You be the canvas, I’ll be Bob Ross
Slow down, there’s no need to
Rush this
Now let me show you how to brush
You make a month feel like a day
Turn weeks into art with a bit of clay
Become
The pottery that you wanted to be
We got frames to make
Plant a bit of the paint here
We could even rock
Clean smocks
Spotted a bit
You took the black and white put a little tint in it
Tie dye my kiss
I miss it
The time we got paint all over the hearts like this

You’re the orange in the sun
Before the night sky
You’re the pink beneath the cloud
That I see in your eye
Bloom in the blue
Mellow within the yellow
Into the green
You color me (Color me)
You’re the red
But instead
Of stop
You make my heart go
Indigo
Into purple tones
Without you I could never even see
Yo, you color me

Let me draw you a tree
Sketch out a leaf
Maybe we could be
Adam and eve
Never having to leave
The place that we call paradise
The way I’m living life,
It’s been so
Black and white
Like an old Motorola
Waiting for my page to be filled
By Crayola
I would draw the line
Sorry, I don’t even know ya
But the way you move
And the way you smile
Adds a lot of hue
And a lot of style
Lady I would run a mile
You don’t gotta stay in line
If you’re gonna be here for awhile
It’s been so long since I tried to make
A masterpiece, the last one didn’t take
I’ll paint this bush maybe shade a bit
Shh, this’ll be our little secret

You’re the orange in the sun
Before the night sky
You’re the pink beneath the cloud
That I see in your eye
Bloom in the blue
Mellow within the yellow
Into the green
You color me (Color me)
You’re the red
But instead
Of stop
You make my heart go
Indigo
Into purple tones
Without you I could never even see
Yo, You color me

(Ayinde)
I used to feel war torn
But you’ve been with me from the start
If love was a battle you would get a purple heart
Or any other color that you would want
I find
Even if it’s not upon the spectrum line
I was loving in the past, uh
But a true color showed
So now I’m looking for a new box
Of Crayola crayons
To remove from the old
I red
A little of your heart
To analyze a future with you and me
Hey
I pink-y swear you’re the best
So all you need to know is that
You blue me away
Hope you’re feeling up my jazz
I want to spend the paper that’s the color of the grass
On you
Let’s have a bright world full of fun
We are the color prism
And our love is the
Sun

(Izzy)
Take the time and you’ll see
We need RGB
Add some CMYK
Yo, we do this all day.

Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Purple
You color me.
Track Name: Distance ft. Hannah Amoako & Ayinde
(Hannah)
Baby when I kiss you
You make my lips tingle
I was single mingled into my thoughts and you would stay
Cuz when we lock lips, it’s like a flicker a flame

(Izzy)
Let me sit here a bit, and feel your pulse through your finger tips

(Hannah)
I can feel you close
Though you’re so far away
And when I wake up
I think of you everyday
Even the moon, needs the sun to shine
The way my heart needs to know that you’re still mine

I could never measure the affect you have on me in miles

(Izzy)
The way you looking at me
Got me feeling like a child again

(Hannah)
You feel like home to me
Consoling only when you holding me
I’d
Re
Trace
My
Steps
To
To kiss your cheek again
And feel the heat again
In your hands

I can feel you close
Though you’re so far away
And when I wake up
I think of you everyday
Even the moon, needs the sun to shine
The way my heart needs to know that you’re still mine

(Izzy)
When I reach in sleep
All I’m touching is an empty bed sheet
And another cold pillow where my head sleeps
I’m leaving you another silent song, soliloquy
The map on my wall has become the enemy
Reminding me that every inch of the chart
Is another hundred yards that we have been apart
When we Skype
It’s like I see the sun for the first time
You are my first rhyme
Like the first line
You make my heart twitter-patter
I’m mad, you leaving patterns
Tatter me into a panic, I’ve had it with this
The only way to feel close
Is to be gone, and
It ain’t like you’ll be here
When the song ends
I’ll write the words that you leave on my cheek
Your lips says more without having to speak
Your eyes read mine without having to say
I feel you close though you’re so far away.

(Ayinde)
I had a dream last night, and you were there
Everything was real, from the scent of your hair to the
Brown strapped gladiator sandals that you wear
A princess aura, I can feel it in the air
*Sigh*
Dream land is my favorite place
Anything goes I don’t worry about saving face
No embarrassment I control the narrative
You control the camera as our love story takes its shape
The hardest part about filming is the distance, I
Need for the listeners to tell me if I’m tripping or I’m
Isnt, but she is too far when my scene is in the
Bedroom and hers is cooking in the kitchen
An attachment to my soulmate I gave them
Girls up, you are my soul mate, but my
Dream is reality, sleep is the distance, I
Close my eyes wonder when I’m gonna wake to dream again

(Hannah)
I can feel you close
Though you’re so far away
And when I wake up
I think of you everyday
Even the moon, needs the sun to shine
The way my heart needs to know that you’re still mine
Track Name: Inspiration Remix ft. D Hype & Marvil
(D Hype)
HYZY and Marvillous
You wish you were part of this
Empire like Ottoman
I tremble at the thought of it
Flo breaking at the seams
Wavy like careens
Collide dreams Kareem filling except lean
Heavy on your conscious
Pontius Pilate kind a mean
But we follow thru, cuz everything you do will follow you
And if I sound Fugees cuz I’m blasting that thing
Doo Wop’n unlocking verbal slaughter point ding
I’m on another level know a lot of people saying that
Ocarina of time when nobody was playing that
Take a second to catch it; I’m calling it belated rap
The thing is that if you late then you’ll hate yourself, I’ll bring it back
Spit a little slower
Still choppy like the mower
I leak hot sauce
That mean I spit Krakatoa
The beat been tore up,
I Rise like the dough (uh)
I had to keep the pot hot knowing I would blow up

(Marvillous)
It's kind of funny how you do what you do which you same-news crew
Standing still while you move, beats or recording it's all just a
warning
Not only is it dooms day private it's just morning
Lost hope niggas the ones I shall differ, thirst for the times as
Smooth as fine liquor
Huh, bring the tuition and the cost back, to the owner of my womb-
Rockin' God’s back, bless,
Breathe on the flow ride the waves with my crew,
Eating every bar, every B to the Que, I to the I, see you we inside,
One, that's how we move to the music,
Blessed with a soul that blends when I use it, put myself through the
Silence every time I don't abuse it that's music
Inspirations Marvillous, D. Lo, IZZY

(Izzy)
It starts with the crack of dawn
Night black like Zack, mastodon
Pass it on
to the next bagging rapper
Toast wheat jelly peanut butter better bag it up
Grab the bus, to the back
eyelid falls back to the island
Where I am
Still with the music on
Marvillous and HYZY bring it home
Hype is the hope Izzy brings the Magicsauce
We so Marvil baby we be scoops, Häagen-Dazs
With a bass line,
You say time
Is only on the clock
We rap Delorean
Sorry if you can’t go
121 gigawatts
88 Miles per hour
Great Scott
We run this rhythm hot
Each beat is a gift
The tighter we click
We drift
Into another river rapid
We flip it and flap it
Flying off the Google map
It could’ve been easier to say that we won’t kill it again
We rhyme the book of dead to resurrect your flow and then
You deserve to spit it hot, but nobody’s getting hurt
Put the verse in epidermis and I dig you out of the dirt
Insert another verse here.
Track Name: Without Air ft. Erica Summerlin, D Hype, & Jimmytheloch
(Erica & Izzy)
I need to catch my breath and then
Feeling the night inside again
Taking my chest,
I know that the best is out there
We need to take the time to breathe
Only takes a second for life to leave
You need to know there’s nowhere to go
Without air

(Izzy)
Wake up
To the same pillow, willow to the sun
Put the mask back onto your countenance
We amount to this
Making mountains out of sounds so we bounce to this
Where’s the next ounce
Energy
Energize
I realize everyday is a fight
Every night
Is another image that I am living in
Breathe in liquid filament
The window filling in
Break out your hammer, smash your glass
Hold your own breath again
You got nothing to win
We pull back the hit
Accident?
Man, I’m up in the wind
I never intended to flex tendon and bone
But play me like Nintendo and I’ll send you back home
All alone
Breathe slow, We know
Ain’t no easy way to sail
We wait, don’t hold your soul in a cage
Release it
And then we
Exhale, hale, hale
Look at your life in a flash
You see the life that you had
You can’t prevent your own crash
Don’t sleep
Until you find the fight that makes you ignite
You can’t
Without oxygen
Box you in
Like a flame
Flicker down
Into indigo
We could never know
How to rise to the top
If we never go
Where the bottom is
We fall there
Never know how to breathe
If we
Never be
Without air

(Jimmytheloch)
Think Before you start raising all hell
Don’t break through the guard rail
Emotional rollercoaster making your arms flail
Just sit at the bottom of the lake as air escapes
Too late for an ambulance
Clutching on fate to resuscitate
Our lips lock lungs inflate so near fatal
She thrusts palms into chests
A paramedic slash angel
Untangling my mangled frame like cat's cradle
Lights shine through the mist and midnight haze causing that rainbow
I feel so high when I’m breathing clouds
What’re the odds that I’d even out
Leave the scene renowned I’m a demon now
But really feeling proud plant seeds of doubt
See my feet drag when i walk on the brink
Who should I thank for the oxygen tank?
Tighten the mask now gone in a flash
Wishing I could return to the dawn of the crash
Gasp for breath see death and laugh just
Fight through traffic such a maverick
Leave the tavern more drunk than average
Lose your balance til your reach the palace
Chuckle with madness unhinging trailers
Skin peels like bananas speech is frantic but we've been spared
Even flames can't exist without air

(Erica & D Hype)
I need to catch my breath and then
Feeling the night inside again
Taking my chest,
I know that the best is out there
We need to take the time to breathe
Only takes a second for life to leave
You need to know there’s nowhere to go
Without air


(D Hype)
Crooked lean
Air I fiend
Falling to my own needs
Pressure building
Lungs collapse
Ever so slowly
If this is my dying breath then I’m out like an OG
Out of gas outer mass
Praying for me slowly
Looking back, it’s a fact
Time was never granted
Forward with assumptions
Merrily enchanted
Gotta take some risk on the board, so I chance it
Give and go while collecting on advances
Taught me never trust no body
They’ll always disappoint you
But everybody’s somebody
Looking for a point to express
Benevolent content, I conjoin to
Stickin to our thoughts cuz we fought just to stay true
Give me space to breathe cuz I’m dying for some air
It’s got me seeing stars, yet my vision’s so clear
20/20 news like the truth was laid bare
guiding light Polaris in the northern hemisphere

(Erica)
Without air
Without air
Without air
Without air
Track Name: Psychocrusher ft. D Hype
(Izzy)
I apologize to the day
When the sun sets into me I be the sea of regret
If love isn't a feeling without it I feel fine
She threw away the clock
She's got no more time
I got nothing to say like a silent renegade
With my double edge word let me say it in blades
Let me be the slice, the cut in your thick skin
Lady I’m the knife serrated, we this thin
I’m living in the space between your eyelids
We slash your iris
We blind to lightness
We lost in lightning
Eyo It’s never enough
In the studio never tired wire my eyes open on
Clever like Johnny Five and Monty Python
Hi Strung, energetic, forgettable
I regret this
Never telling you the opposite
Direct miss, yo, direct miss

(D Hype)
Ever since I knew it and I gave it away
It’s been a little harder trusting these girls and my focus been on better days,
I apologize if my apolog-ay,
Seemed a little distant, my heart is stuck in icy ways,
I would love to experience that kind of day
You share with a dame, making up some silly names,
I want the picture and the frame,
Sharing stupid stories that nobody ever want to hear cuz they were lame
But of course after sunny skies came the rain
Forecast partly cloudy with a chance of pain
I can feel it in my bones,
My joints getting tighter cramping up over the pheromones
Hearts divided the things that these strings do
To stay connected to these feelings we cling to
Looped like diamond rings your soul is the cost
Ask for directions, they laugh and they told me I’m lost


(Izzy)
Take a memory that we can see opened up
Every conversation we had ever since I said
What’s up?
How you?
We chilling?
Maybe get a ticket to the next
You and your ex playing regret in the multiplex
Telling you I was your only, lonely we could never be apart
Perhaps the lapse in action start to pull the
Filament holding in
All the blood that’s rushing into my heart
Too late
Now I run circles like easy Mario kart
I see through stereo blots
That way I still got the hots
For more than one lover you said no one’s above me
Future endeavors I’d better leave before I put
Trust in you is like waiting for acid to rust slowly
I know we ended falling from the sky
Bitterly, we could never be
Into the clouds so high
We fall
As if we never learned to fly true
You need to know that I don’t ever really need you

(D Hype)
Can’t help but think you’ve been in my head
Exploring my subconscious tangled up in my web
The threads tacked to your hand held
Are pushing my buttons, a glutton feenin for results hoping that we land
Well…
Maybe if we just stay weaved up,
The comfort that it brings won’t necessarily leave us
Hanging ourselves, laying in limbo Caught up,
Victim to a psychological nympho
For reasons way beyond my understanding
Libido got my mojo at attention regardless of the tension
And since you got me stressing, I gotta go ape wild,
Primal urges on a rampage arcade style
Fishing for some quarters cuz I thought I’d stay a while
but Chanel no 5 had me drowning in denial
So clearly you villain your motives are vial
I checkmates now, I’m boxing I’m out…

(Izzy)
I don’t want to settle
I want a city bitty she be looking like Christina Hendricks
And
If you find the bodice a goddess of fury kicks
On Facebook or Twitter me
And pls snd pix
Maybe we Digg this
Can we play a little DoTA
We can hold in my pagoda
Maybe play Starcraft two
Let me take another line
I would put another rhyme
Used to pressing start to continue
If life is a girl then I abuse her
I’ll say one thing and live another to confuse her
That’s what you did, and now we’re done
Roller coaster ride love and it wasn’t fun
My shadow hides from you, had enough of sun
Take another bullet
Cock and pull it
Now without a gun
Point of no return, you make me want to run
Yo, you make me want to run

(D Hype)
Should’ve seen it all coming
Guess I took the wrong fork in the road
She looked stunning had my steering veering out of control
But it was never in my hands though my palms foretold
That I would have to let it loose if it was worth it to hold
Mind you Ms. Fortune was a ghost, an elaborate hoax
Meant to throw me off track from my senses
Love had me blind that’s a loss of defenses
Up in the clouds, now I’m down in the trenches love struck
Battling my heart against my wits
And it hurt but I promised her I’d never call it quits
A man of his word fell victim to her lips
Pinned between an oath and a kiss
Can’t make moves if your heart rate ain’t got the right mind
Couldn’t breathe a word so instead I had to write mine
My last words believe in the signs
As I plunge and take a peek into the leak that is my love line…
Track Name: The 99%
Let me
Take you from the pain
I know it hurts
I say
We can let it fly for a minute
Let me be the one to show you
That I
Care for you
Hold me up, up and away.

(Hbrooks)
It's called the home of the free
Same time I love this I hate this
Cuz they trying to keep us in the matrix
I ain't the one don't fall for the propaganda
I call it truth
They call it slander
And I know the standards of life ain't equal
So this one’s for my people
Feeling like bars is the best way to reach you
Not only can't I talk that ish I can lead you
We still at the bottom reaching up trying to grasp
There's a timer on faith let's see how long it last
That's why we switch to the hustle the money come fast
Meanwhile dodging them boys and working out a stash
And I look like you so they checking me for priors
Outside looking in feels like a scene from the wire they aiming at your head
I'm just aiming to inspire
I guess cuz I'm flyer
I think a little higher

Let me
Take you from the pain
I know it hurts
I say
We can let it fly for a minute
Let me be the one to show you
That I
Care for you
Hold me up, up and away.


(Hype)
Of course you gonna blame the system that made you
Every mistake you made brought you back like a lame screw
Every quarter you played they were stealing the first two
So you stash them away
Ever since I knew it I pay no mind to today
I guess I kinda had a feeling
If I didn’t keep moving keep breathing,
I might never get past
Or break the glass ceiling
Herb cloud chilling
Call it spiritual healing
Double helix the realest
Is patterned in my nature
Truth since the day I was born
But still they hate you
Straight no chase always hard to relate to
The other side of the fence was Eden
So I make sure
Heaven Is Mine Before I Take Yours
One particular door could lead me to the Lord
Fear I cannot afford strength I walk toward

Let me
Take you from the pain
I know it hurts
I say
We can let it fly for a minute
Let me be the one to show you
That I
Care for you
Hold me up, up and away.

(Izzy)
The economy is falling
The politician is calling
They dropping the ball
Every time we need them
But that’s not all
We losing money the way we handling stocks
The streets is lost at the cost of amethyst rock
Sever the ties, we set for heaven demise
Imbedded into the mind
We only wanted the prize
We need to ask for help
We say we soldiers for God
In turn we just as selfish as the devil himself
Even Satan be waiting down at the bottom of the bottle
Ought to throttle his hold oh no there goes my duodenum
Stop trying to get high and come back to earth
We flirt with death no surprise
We breathe dirt
Let me be the one to show you
That I
Care for you
Hold me up, up and away


Let me
Take you from the pain
I know it hurts
I say
We can let it fly for a minute
Let me be the one to show you
That I
Care for you
Hold me up, up and away.
Track Name: Fight or Flight ft. D Hype & Jimmytheloch
(Izzy)
I am Galactus
Spitting in planet flow
Let me cut right to the chase, Special beam cannon
Less Bruce Banner and more like Bruce Wayne
No need to get revenge on those that shot my parents
We hold living when losing it is apparent
And in this wasteland we be another jungle barren
You are just another Cell to me, guaranteed
There ain’t enough in this galaxy
For me to feed on
We on
Another level we revel in adversity
You could be more dangerous
But you aint even hurting me
You need more hyperbolic time
So take it slow.
It aint about the things you did
But more of what you know
Training is just a swan song you sing
Ability is nothing, and will is everything.
Rip the ligament, in pain, ignore it
This bozo is asking for it
Breaking bone is boring
Bleeding out is more euphoric

(D Hype)
Blood flow icy, Cooler with more Freon, my glow neon
G force enforce peons
Never in a Eon
Flux/ force for change
Could you imitate or restrain our reign

(Jimmytheloch)
In a strange way my mainframe
Is lame brain with orangutan strength
Ya better vacate but don’t fall off of snake way
Read the chosen prayers
I lead from over there
I breathe the open air
And get hit with solar flares

I cover more ground than a par 4
Leave your head spinning like breakers on cardboard
Your soft shell would never protect, we hard core
Taking over concrete tracks, we parkour
How you gonna be a hard headed featherweight?
Tri-beam attack we make your body levitate
We killing it with the Krillin flow,
Bout to set it straight
Malice and jealousy, they demonstrate
Let them hate

(D Hype)
Damn, Garlic Jr.’s on the track and he just opened the dead zone
No signal, no sign of living
I’m on my lone
Wolf fang fist and I’m pissed
Black out like Mr. Popo, charge into the mist
If you caught the gist of what I’m saying
Then you ought to be praying
I ought to be spraying horribly on you want to be Saiyans
I’m raining down on your parade like the air raid
Accurate, on point
Verbal slice and cut like blades
Set the forest all ablaze,
Nah, that ain’t a phazer, that’s an ass whooping in laser form
Storm, Lightning quick, Destructo Disc
The flick got to come from the wrist
I risk it all/ fire, Bic
One last flame before the fall it’s a dire hit
Surpassing my potential I reached the burst limit
Wish me back after disaster has been written/ridden

(Jimmytheloch)
I land punches yeah I fool with a timecard
Put your CEO in a Fujiwa arm bar
Rock and hammer carve art
You're raised in barnyard
A stable is your armoire
You're swag is Paul Blart

(Izzy)
You’re just a mall cop
A small stop on this trip to the top
And for every drip of your blood we drop
Berserker barrage,
Find your body in the garage
Under a broken mirror
Holding hands with your mirage

I cover more ground than a par 4
Leave your head spinning like breakers on cardboard
Your soft shell would never protect, we hard core
Taking over concrete tracks, we parkour
How you gonna be a hard headed featherweight?
Tri-beam attack we make your body levitate
We killing it with the Krillin flow,
Bout to set it straight
Malice and jealousy, they demonstrate
Let them hate

(Jimmytheloch)
I used to be Vicks 44 but hold the Dimetapp
You're itching to prove yourself nope that’s a violent rash
Don’t buy that crap ya'll are a fake act like spinal tap
And that picture could be your last it's your final flash
On to the next I’m above your trash talking
Professor x hover to my handicap parking
You cry over spilt milk so I splash cartons
Then close the windows and turn on the gas in your apartment
Peace and quiet when I eat or I won't dine there
And keep your kid quiet or I’ll smack them out the high chair
You’re always dropping the ball I’ll call you time square
It’s hard to think bright with my oversized eye wear
Brain cells depleted I don't mind danger
At least I’m naturally selected to evolve by nature
Feeling stuck in life high chaotic fly paper
And time flies we're in the hyperbolic time chamber

(Izzy)
Time for me to end the poser era, better know me then
When you Ginyu Force gang up, I’m a Kao-Ken
Better suited to recruit the Cobra Kai, we joust
Sweep the head and smash it into the side of a house

(D Hype)
Our lyricism it spirals viral, highly contagious,
Cataclysm conditioned, Armageddon lit pages,
Better not to enrage us
Last dragon
Shenron flow we go off like a tangent

I cover more ground than a par 4
Leave your head spinning like breakers on cardboard
Your soft shell would never protect, we hard core
Taking over concrete tracks, we parkour
How you gonna be a hard headed featherweight?
Tri-beam attack we make your body levitate
We killing it with the Krillin flow,
Bout to set it straight
Malice and jealousy, they demonstrate
Let them hate
Track Name: Melody
Let me talk about it
I am another poet spitting supersonic on it
Put a sonnet in a ballad
Rather pull a rabbit
Magic hat it
I’ve had it up to here with all this nonsense, nonsense
I am a street fighter, bonus round, smash a car
I chop pathetic rhyme
All the time
Through the bar
Eyo it takes about a week
To sever days
Assassinate the second
Using music as a weapon, uh
Feel that lost time is the most I ever gain
The happiest I’ve been is when I felt the most pain
We go around the carousal
Rather we ride sitting still
Fitted into puzzles
We never see the box
Another day, jobless
Another night, dateless
Another job, gone day
Another date, night long
How long must I keep going on?
Until the stage falls
And I’m spitting in the autumn
I got it yo,
I know the things I need to do before I go
I’m ready, so let me show you
Write into a stitch
I’m itching to spit in acrostic
Exhausted, I’m out
It was nice to know you

Come with me, oh, oh, oh
Let this be, what we both know
We could be,
Melody, oh, oh, oh

Instead of the inedible beats
That most inevitably
Feed into the tongues sitting hidden
We bleed
Let me be the one that has to repeat
If rapping is the medicine
I am just another Asian MD
I die when I cause pain
Like a stung bee
I tumble into vision
As I fall into the see
I’m only disconnected when I find that unity
Is weakening in minutes and we in it, so knee deep
It’s the only thing that your living is missing
Every time I give in a minute to listen
Homie I don’t know if you consider this win
Better say goodbye to the track, this spin
Is on the way to end
Even if I’m late
Though medicated, sedated, I still devastate
Let’s both rock the coast, turn the bass into vibrate
Ripple the lake
Until we shatter earthquakes

Come with me, oh, oh, oh
Let this be, what we both know
We could be,
Melody, oh, oh, oh
Track Name: War ft. Jae Eroles & D Hype
(Jae)
If you wrote me a symphony
Would it play like your heart’s melody (what would it do)
You used to say that I was beautiful
But now you saying that to other girls
Now I’ve been stressing day and night
I liked it better when I used to fight (With you)
I miss the time we had it all
And now my life is going down, free fall

You used to fight for me
I said I’d die for you
Without you in my life
I got nothing to lose
This war has to end
Sometime soon

(Jae & D Hype)
If we let us fade
What would we have after all?

(Jae)
Another chance to make things right
This war has to end
Sometime soon (Sometime soon)

(D Hype)
Why can’t we connect?
They told me if I cop this service
We’d never have to go through a disturbance
This turbulence way past correcting
Guess this gonna be our last moment of affection
Freefalling, no strings,
Adrenaline so you gotta scream
You peddling hitting 21 speeds but you can’t go back in time
Far enough to impede hand off the vaccine
Nothing ever what it seems
In every face another dream, another scene
The last thing I seen, sky so serene,
Venus was passing,
Red dot flash, Kodak assassin
A mask, couple stars advancing
A Hanzo
Gets blurry before I catch the fury
Reach for my sword in a hurry
No debating she got the best of me
Heart aching

(Jae)
You used to fight for me
I said I’d die for you
Without you in my life
I got nothing to lose
This war has to end
Sometime soon

(Jae & D Hype)
If we let us fade
What would we have after all?

(Jae)
Another chance to make things right
This war has to end
Sometime soon (Sometime soon)

(Izzy)
This is the war that I fought
When I built the castle wall
I never had a better call to fight
Thicker than a wicker basket
I pass the thought
If you can’t plan for the day
You won’t pass the night
Time to be vigilant militant
I’m in it to win it man
Fit the bill again
If she’s over 9000
I am a billion, trillion
That’s why I be
Spitting in planets
My flow is Saturn and mars
I go in patterns and bars
I hold tattered, and scarred
We won’t shatter we hard
You talk yadda yadda, so far
The only jam you serve
Is on platter and jar
Kilimanjaro;
You are another mountain
Takes weeks to reach the peek
But who’s counting
I am the sky you are a star
Only came close when we so far

(Jae)
If you wrote me a symphony
Would it play like your heart’s melody?
You used to say that I was beautiful
Now you saying that to other girls
Now I’ve been stressing day and night
I liked it better when I used to fight
(With you)

I miss the time we had it all
And now my life is going down, free fall

If we let us fade
What would we have after all?
Another chance to make things right
This war has to end
Sometime soon (Sometime soon)

(D Hype)
You used to fight for me
I said I’d die for you
Without you in my life
I got nothing to lose
This war has to end
Sometime soon
Track Name: Tangerine Trees ft. Loveless, D Hype, Marvil
(Loveless)
The tangerine trees and the marmalade skies
Got me rapping to the goddess with the porcelain eyes
I look into her soul and she sees into mine
I hope she understands the whole world needs her to smile
We really need her to smile
The whole world
Planting seeds in tangerine trees all alone in the wild

(Marvillous)
Eyes up, Have a look, take a listen, cop a feel, taste my rendition
I & I tangerine your trees, marmalade your skies
I'm reminiscing sipping rum and running rummages of artists who wish - they - could - but influence the ones, who got some, my ultra Mecca tools, beat big brother, rules
Sucka, we can't lose them
I's in imminent them eyes in infinite,
Rewind and recline SEE, how the eyes mind is

(Izzy)
The eyes wide hits
This is just another marvelous heart of it
Pardon the genius
See our flow is so bottomless
We’re living “On The Move”,
The opposite of “Mannequin 2”
Burning off all of your limbs like Obi wan had Anakin do

(D Hype)
Match me like the best do
We set the flame that turns a lame into the next wonder
I think I lost count after 9th
I now pronounce myself the next hunger
Stay ‘irsty, my lyricism ripe

(Marvillous)
Oh this rhyming
Syncopating my brain and timing
Oh this flowing got me going
I can see the freedom in your eyes,
It’s not that we can't wait for you
No no no
You just waiting' on you,
I'm never waiting who,
Tell them g double o d night

Your worlds just been had
By swag beyond swag

(D Hype)
I guess if I explained It in words
It’d sound something like Mecca
Tribeca
Boom Boom
I’m praying for my turn
I’m paying you no mind and the rebate I find
Is sublime, Divine, Trans-e-la-ted into rhymes
Flip it over, Grab a vine and scratch it into time
Dig a hole and drill into your soul until you find the Mayan
As a whole, I think the goal could never match my level
If you add the treble I revel in every beat I step to

(Marvillous)
Oh this rhyming
Syncopating my brain and timing
Oh this flowing got me going
I can see the freedom in your eyes,
It’s not that we can't wait for you

(Izzy)
Please hold the phone
Every time
We on the mic
It’s sort of
Like this
Where we bless it
With a necessary message
That invention is
Nothing but an
Educated guess
We learn the lesson
That confession can shoot harder than
A smith and Wesson did

(Marvillous)
Oh this rhyming
Syncopating my brain and timing
Oh this flowing got me going
I can see the freedom in your eyes,
It’s not that we can't wait for you
No no no
You just waiting' on you,
I'm never waiting who,
Tell them g double o d night

Your worlds just been had
By swag beyond swag

(Izzy)
I’ll spit it sweetly like orange
I’m scoring
95 Chicago
They is Jordan
I am Kukoc, Pippen, and Horace
Forget to be pounding back some Percocet
My eyes roll into my head
I like to see what my thoughts have said
You could be soaring solo
Be the king of mountain Mole hill
hold up
When you got a team full of bickering moles
Fall into the holes that we call home
Sip earthworm a la mode
Learn to get used to the dirt
Return my soul back to the earth
Rebirth inside of me I’m only guessing
Feel the presence

(D Hype)
I’m feeling type right in my essence
Marvil, a blessing
Whatever name you give it
I’m feeding off of intentions
In the lab inventing
Dexter minus Napoleon
Complex equation isn’t it obvious
We the answer

(Marvillous)
It’s not that we can't wait for you
No no no
You just waiting' on you,
I'm never waiting who,
Tell them g double o d night

Oh this rhyming
Syncopating my brain and timing
Oh this flowing got me going
I can see the freedom in your eyes,
It’s not that we can't wait for you
No no no
You just waiting' on you,
I'm never waiting who,
Tell them g double o d night
Track Name: LOL
I’ve come to the conclusion
That this life
Is this mine
Or am I just illusion
Possibly
I could be
Just another space marine
Or I’m fighting World War 2
Even though I’m on the moon
I would rather be with you

Everything in mint condition
And I’m sitting right here wishing
That I need someone like you
To be my player two

If you want to be my player two please press select and start right now
Show me your smile in the way you LOL
In the way you laugh out loud

LOL,
You gave me
LOL
You make me
Feel like you’re a dream come true
No one else is quite like you
LOL to you

Smash another pot
Find a part of the heart piece
After RPG
Later we L A R P
Spin the N.E.R.D.
That’s how we roll
No escaping while I’m holding alt delete and then ctrl
Process the letter on the page and let it tell
Spread sheets like legs and maybe I could excel, but
This isn’t word perfect,
She learn to take note
We converse in the cloud, this is how we air quote
Fall to the ground
Hand to the coin block
Now we
Tanooki suited – stop
Be the fire flower ignite it into the flame, hot
I am underpowered we fighting it in the game, now
Double U Double D Left right Left right B A start it up
We could double dragon, save the President
We bad enough
I did the solo campaign and I’ve had enough
If I was at the castle I wouldn’t even hassle
Now you
Got me running so fast
I’ll grab the top of the flag

LOL,
You gave me
LOL
You make me
Feel like you’re a dream come true
No one else is quite like you
LOL to you

IMHO
You imbue in beauty
Talking truly
The sea hue be indigo
We in the boat
Sail through the rain only
You that call of duty
I’ll tattoo another Fan-Fic
In within the bone
Tantric
Let the cinder go,
Even though we just connected
I feel like I’ve been here before
You’ve been my ocean now my life’s been a beach
Save me from the fire
This is how your halo reach
I could write into the sand until my hand would bleed
Even now I haven’t stopped
Too Long; Didn’t Read
Here’s my Sunday best
Geekin out on your smile
Only knowing you exist
Got me going wild
You could be out
Instead of hidden in my RAM and ROM
A figment of a dream 8 bit into my Famicom
And it’s on
Even though
I only have a song
In your look of love, we Last out Long

(Dusty Springfield)
The look of love is in your eyes
The look your smile, is in disguise

Everything in mint condition
And I’m sitting right here wishing
That I need someone like you
To be my player two

If you want to be my player two please press select and start right now

Track Name: Only At The Top ft. J Scott & Jimmytheloch
Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top
Can we bring the place down?

(Izzy)
Even though this ain’t a self entitled song of survival
My idle hands could never reach heaven through suicide
Do or die,
This music is eternal bliss
I spit, you choke on this
Like Sonya’s winning death in a kiss
For the kill to the max
Sitting back relax
No need to start rapping like it’s a chore
Life is but a Milton Bradley board
I’m the
Synonym for winning
So
Intimate I’m in it
Like the bottom of the inning
When I swing
Batter, batter
Swing I score
We rise high where the birds don’t sing
You flap your feathers whether they be Icarus wings
Dead weight
Cant climb to the top
With a bum back
Take a step
Trip on a thumb tack
Juxtaposed
To the ground
We fall like black and white domino stacks
Every single single starts with a single beat
With the simple hitting of the drum in a symphony
Aint no need to say this but
I’m a bit of Amadeus
A eulogy to rap, a siren lullaby sing the soliloquy

Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top, top
Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top
Can we bring the place down?
We can never stop, we can never stop
We can never stop, we can never stop, stop
We can never stop, we can never stop
The boom bap of the sound

(Jesse)
Numb to the feeling of feeling of ceilings I been growing
My mind over loading, stay humble never stumble
Crumble ideas of failing and Get a feel for this Sarah Palin
My heart mailed in deposit boxes with a proper lock,
All for the game
Cuz there’s no love at the top,
Fumble rock, never, not even, on my worst day,
HYZY, junction production
Let the merch play
Personal days are my work days, I&I
Dedication, marijuana mandated,
For mental elevation
Top position
I am the point of the pyramid
Concerned with no demons cuz why?
I am aware of him,
Prepare a script,
Something Like my will in each verse,
Feet first
How I step in my days until a week work,
She’s hurt, from perks that are attached to my first
Love for the music, my soul measured on the clock,
Tick tock that’s my life on the top

Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top, top
Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top
Can we bring the place down?
We can never stop, we can never stop
We can never stop, we can never stop, stop
We can never stop, we can never stop
The boom bap of the sound

(Jimmytheloch)
Lady liberty apply schemes with her eye makeup
So she might break up with a skyscraper
Hike Mt. Everest I resurrect dead residents
A regimen of medicine ready to rock like pendulums
I’m chip off the old block call me Pentium
Forget the petty crumbs underground like Technodrome
But I’m sick of the bottom the motto bravado
How do we make a common tomorrow?
And scale the Kilimanjaro
On the climb up you might lacerate your blue jeans
If you fall too deep nobody can hear you scream
Now we can't cut scenes these are not movies
So I hawk loogies off of Mount Fuji
I’m an all-star but I’m not a refugee
I only got one ticket but I need two seats
I rep unity not shooting spree eulogies
Only at the top can we knock the wind out and shoot the breeze

Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top, top
Only at the top, only at the top
Only at the top, only at the top
Can we bring the place down?
We can never stop, we can never stop
We can never stop, we can never stop, stop
We can never stop, we can never stop
The boom bap of the sound
Track Name: Airheart ft. Janie Loo & D Hype
(Janie)
Forever
Grows farther away
Don’t wander on
Why don’t you stay?

So, open your eyes
This is how I see you
What was lost
Can be found, if
You break,
We’ll make it new

(Izzy)
If the sun decides
This is now my past
Take a photograph
Make forever last
Finger linger in my wind path
Tighten up the brakes
Open up the flaps
Try to be the one
Filling up your map
We on this expedition
Wishing for that
Kind of hard to find a part of item
Open up your chest
Whistle through the grass
Try to see if there is breathing life on Venus
Even we believe into a higher being
We would be the one to break the sky first
Even the birds get over the thirst of flight,
Dirt, is where we from and where we going back
Curse me into a blessing
Addressing that
What is happiness without being euphoric?
Is it lost if you aren’t looking for it?

(Janie)
Let’s fly
Write our names on the sun
Gone are the days
Where we have to fight
We’ve already won
In this freedom to leave
Where we wanted to stay
You’re the only thing I see
You’re my air, heart
Be my air, heart
Air.

(D Hype)
Ride the air straight thru the instrumental
Going thru tornadoes, hope you got the memo
Factor in the wind resistance
Been a part of my existence
I miss this
I’m not a stranger to the current danger
Start the engine vroom, Fly it out the Hangar
Let the reins loose
Had to rise to the occasion in the booth
Private Getaway
Never thought I’d see
Never thought I’d say
Every day a present
So I keep pressing on
Mr.Drifta would you take a picture
Out here on the lawn
Promise you it shouldn’t take too long
Plot the x next to your autograph
If I ever crash hard I’m a have
“Aviator” written on my epitaph

(Janie)
Let’s fly
Write our names on the sun
Gone are the days
Where we have to fight
We’ve already won
In this freedom to leave
Where we wanted to stay
You’re the only thing I see
You’re my air, heart
Be my air, heart
Air.

(Izzy)
Could it be the only way out of infinity
Is living on a line so perpendicular to death
I would never rest
They could never guess
Where to find it
I am not the x

(Janie)
You’re my air, heart
Be my air, heart
Air.

(D Hype)
Way past Neverland
Hope I never land
Watch the waves that wash away the sands
Off of time
Off the beaten trail
Reach the mountain summit all I see is Braille

(Janie)
You’re my air, heart
Be my air, heart
Air.

(Izzy)
This is how I read the cliffs
Open up your palm
Let me show you this
Just another map hidden in the fist
There are hieroglyphs
Deep within your wrist

(Janie)
You’re my air, heart
Be my air, heart
Air.

(D Hype)
Revelation
We head to higher ground
Air is thinner at this elevation
Search the world and you might find
What you’re looking for
Was left behind


(Janie)
You’re my air, heart
Be my air, heart
Air.

(Janie)
Let’s fly
Write our names on the sun
Gone are the days
Where we have to fight
We’ve already won
In this freedom to leave
Where we wanted to stay
You’re the only thing I see
You’re my air, heart
Be my air, heart
Air.

To say that “My favorite artists are my friends” is a huge blessing and understatement. Symphony consists some of the best in rap, R&B, slam poetry, freestyle, pop, classical, and jazz. There is something in here for everyone. If you can relate to love, hate, poverty, power, pop culture, pride, classics, new school, and the hip hop steez, then there is a song here for you.

Many thanks to the musical talent who put their efforts to teach, to learn, to compete, to complete, to perform, to produce, to record, to write, and to be an inspiration: Daniel Hype Lopez, Jimmytheloch, Shift the MC, M Dela Cruz, I&I, Marvillous Beats, Jesse Scott, The Intangible Collective, Shawn Holbrooks and HBrooks Audio, The Cosmonauts, Ayinde, Loveless, Bamboo MC, B-Nice, Zev, Hannah Amoako, Erica Summerlin, Jae Eroles, Janie Loo, and Matt Gunther.

Many thanks as well to the creative collaborators who put their time and effort to make Symphony one beautiful piece of art and to be a lasting movement: Stephanie Kay, Sooji Blum, Trey Gameboy Greene, Steven Monzon, Sean Gallagher, Resa Eaves,Lina Fox, Kristen Tomanocy, and Joshua Cayabyab.

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me.
Track Name: Symphony
Now we communicate
Elevate it to the level debating is off the table
I am able to reciprocate
Shed the pride, take the heart rate
Weigh it on a glass plate
Adjust the antennae
And we never say
Maybe
We could fit another intimate digit
Within indigenous vision
I am a living legend
It only took 2 years to make waves
In this lake of music, I’d rather sink into the wake of it

Make or break it
I couldn’t differentiate
Between success and what I love
I didn’t have to
Started to be
so heartless
Now I have two
One is beating rhythm
Past due
The other bleed melody
Cuz I have you
This ain’t a scar
It’s a tattoo
Heart aneurism
This is the arduous part of it
Part of me wants to say
“Where are you”
But you’ve never really left
Have you?

You say
That you wanted a song
That I wrote
Never know what it takes
But I’ll go
To the top of the world
To the ends of the earth
Just to write you a note
And I’ll say
You need to find out what you
Looking for
Even though that I want nothing more
This is the symphony
I’m missing your voice
That’s all I need

Debut the beast side,
Color in the A track
Feel the inspiration
Now we distant, use the date map
Cant fight or fly without air to breathe, dive
Into the psychocrush
Never the rush
Take time to tangerine your sky
The sun sets at the top of the cliff
Where the moon waits for war
Look at the love the stars have as if
They want to speak to me
I look around and all I see
Is symphony.

You say
That you wanted a song
That I wrote
Never know what it takes
But I’ll go
To the top of the world
To the ends of the earth
Just to write you a note
And I’ll say
You need to find out what you
Looking for
Even though that I want nothing more
This is the symphony
I’m missing your voice
That’s all I need
