Track Name: Zeus
I want you proud
wonder how
so many men
stay semi-men
to you I'm just a count
starship wow
the lights in town
I can't impress
instead suggest
that I'm your captain now

and I see,
in me, you will believe

quality insurance, like it ought-to be consumers
make a line, 1 at 1 and let my sign units
I want hear that Earth that Wind that Fire like a eunuch
really high, flying high like a saucer through it
I'm a astronaut, baby I can moon talk
when going backwards make it cool like a moon walk
let me show you my lazer-gun, shoot the head off
clean like a submarine, clean from the sea salt

I should lightning bolts like Zeus

looking to sky day dreaming I saw Lucy
she just like you, she said my like music, but
Blade Runner, running for home run, I could use it
but you know my type, Tinie Tempah but will lose it
so play me like X-box til
shut-out like my ex was stll
I don't have time this, let let let me rhyme to this
saving world,
power-pop, power girls
like De Niro, I'm a hero, hot like Nero
never plural, Uno

I won't let you down
I am alien
why can't you see I'm just like Tom was then
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
Track Name: Pluto
spaceman come down we need you
endless wisdom see us through
asteroid chases the danger
is off the charts, I hope we make it
spaceman teach me im confused
is this fiction, is this truth
futuristic movies simple
baddy dies and hero gets girl

baby listen baby stay, with
astronaut lieutenant Cape
experienced, can levitate
through mediums 16 or 8
bars are like the stars between
saturn's centre and it's rings
mystic like egyptian scrolls
papyrus paper, leaves of gold
legacy, a thousand kings
would recognise with joy and sing
in chambers old along with harp
that David plays form dawn till dark
is this heaven, is this dream
is this mere insanity
is this reverend, is this me
tell me is this blasphemy

even pluto used to be
someone like me

jedi swords attack with force
illuminate dark corridors
the Wu-Tang Clan will still exist
and battle on with metaphors
the angels will be keeping score
with Kanye writing opera score
a requiem for those back home
who've yet to here the spaceman's poem
I'll amend contractual ends
redefine what it means to be friends
only if you let me in, I'll treat you mean, with discipline
extra driven, lifeline listen
reasoning, I am forgiven
looking forward
living now, but

even pluto used to be
someone like me

can you see the winter snow fall in my memory
you know all my secrets we fell out at 17
look at me Hades that you may never breed again
Track Name: In the Lap of the Gods
castrated Uranus bled for days and now famous
had his dick cut off with sickle by son shameless
son tried to remain nameless to the faceless
ate the kids one at a time, in line, like posh tasters
Rhea played it perfectly timed and Zeus made it
then re-en-stated, justice with a c-section
hard vengeance, ruler of heaven
beat Titans to Tartarus, with frightening lightning given, by the
Cyclops no longer imprisoned
Titanomachy battle of the century, living
centuries vaporized like ether
flawless design like centipede, neither/or
(o)pressor nor redeemer last long to deputy,
and still the deity breed witness birth of me
on Mount Olympus, I see with my field of gravity
writing scriptures

lead us now, we will bow down
Cape gracious, please save us

Apollo come in testing 1 2 3
we need a mighty flood in the industry
holla at P-siedon, maybe he
let it rain till sea drown whack emcees
in lap the Gods
no lack in the bars
considered deity when the hitting charts
immortal victory, spitting the truth at any cost
may be fleeting, leave my bleeding retreating
I'm lost, battle ready call me Mars

Zeus plagued, Apollo
punished him, no homo
no liver, arrow, no bow
eagle played, organ solo
rappers thinking whack, chasing titties and ass crack
tearing it up, tyranny, Hades put the sin in Sinatra
we getting tingles down the spine, hearing the rapture
at the, mention of the supernatura,
who will supersede with power and greed, who will lead after
getting knocked to the ground and from the ground get back up
Common wanna act, this is my Olympic track, Phoenix wanna be a rapper
immortal sex portal, damn, Hades must be one hell of man
chip on the shoulder, towering over the small, like a wave in Japan
leadership changing hands, power struggle to the top,
between the ol' g and the young hot shot,
between bad dog and the sly fox
the greed of the Gods like greed of the Mob,
I'm part of the fam, I'm part of the plan, I'm part of the plot
I'm King Ahab not part of the flock
Pandora came in, I touched her skin,
saw bathing in the valley sin
Prometheus was bound by fate
or just got bored of making us straight
'cause heaven not white, hell not red,
it's a kinda grey area instead
heaven not white, hell not red,
it's a kinda grey area instead
