[T-Squared]
My name is Terence Harris
But you can call me T-Squared
From the fame that I'm daring to aspire and climb to
I'm there as an inspiration, motivation
A voice of dedication that has been
Constructed up from the lyrical pavement
I see you trying to deface the name of Hip Hop
But let me tell you something that the real shit won't ever stop man so
Just conquer the flow, don't ever slow up
Cause the cup that you're trying to hold is never half empty
Tempting to fall into the darkness and let it consume you
Though you're doomed to, desecrate its culture
You'll turn into a vulture, repulsive in its nature
Your fate will be nothing but second best
Negativity inside your self respect
So elect yourself as your own boss and glow
And grow into something that will always be successful
Only you have the right to claim your own happiness
No distractions kid
So when you're on the mic, make sure that the voice is yours
The voice and message may be coarse
But it's worth it, if you wanna spit the truth
Uncouth or not, be ready to rock steady
When the bass and treble are heavy
Yours thoughts are all you've got
They'll lead you to the land of promise
To make everything beautiful and timeless
You can be anything you want, don't let anybody ever tell you not
Amazing in every sense of the word, blazing, never derailing
A source of brightness despite what spite may come your way
You can reach heights like a floating leaf in the wind, yeah
[Zero Lyrics to be added later]

Achieve

[Intro]
There's no limit to what I can achieve
There's no limit to what you can achieve
So just take my hand, you can follow me
There's no limit to what we can achieve
[Verse 1]
Achieve, is to perceive
To believe in your dreams
To achieve is to succeed
To deplete all your energy
And push down all your enemies
Feelings, vibes, that make you complete
And force the real you outside
Achieve, to cross the finish line
Or when you've finish your first rhyme
A feeling like no other
To spend lifetime of happiness with your destined lover
To see your mother off to heaven, to grace the people with a message
Inspiring the world with your presence
To become what people wanna see
Like, you're the next level of what they should be
Aspired till you're tired of being top tier
No fear in your eyes, even when you're ready to die
Cause you've changed the world so you show no pain
For all the boys and girls, they all have something to gain
You just wish that could happen
But it can, even through rapping
We just need to work together and push for a goal that we can really achieve
[Chorus]
We can achieve peace, if we believe it (x2)
It's never over, unless you give up (x2)
[Verse 2]
Love is a terrible sickness
Cause, even is I spit this
I witness, what may be a distance
Something twisted, a miscreant
Of my former self but that's on the backburner
Cause I'm a learner, I grow my doubts
Earning something special
A medal covered in full metal to prove that I tested my mettle
Ready to battle any foe that comes my way
To speak the truth, every rhyme that I say
To settle the inner demons and devils
A rebel without a plausible cause
Because of every pause
That I get that hinders my career
A spear through my heart, a lone tear that trickles from the zero talent
Strikes fear into the eyes of the heroic rappers
Cause the game has become less than desolate
Transparent flows, no more of anything but temperate
So get with the real or stay off the block
Knock off the fake and take back the truth cause...
[Chorus]
We can achieve peace, if we believe it (x2)
It's never over, unless you give up (x2)
[Bridge]
You know you want it, you know you gotta have it
The truth is something that we all need
To bring us out from the shadows to the light
What we can really achieve
To become true legendaries (x4)
[Chorus]
We can achieve peace, if we believe it (x2)
It's never over, unless you give up (x2)

Kingdom
03:38
|
|||
[Chorus]
This promised land, it's mine now
I'm building up my Kingdom
Building up my Kingdom
It's standing strong for me
Our voices can't be silenced
You're apart of my Kingdom
Apart of my Kingdom
And soon they all will see
[Verse 1]
Hip Hop, true music
Loosened the shackles to defeat the foolish
People underestimate the lucid messages
But people are dejected from the low level educated
Artists that are lucent without really being talented
False fallacy adding one terror after another
A lover, not a fighter but I will speak my peace
So that pieces of you won't be a part one
And I don't mean death by a gun or a sword
I mean, death by the pen or a chord
Because without music, you won't feel whole
Lost and cold, weak or old, Pointlessly bold
Ancient void without a soul to call home
Nothing should hold you back
Black or white, act like you can break it
No more control
[Lyrical Bridge]
So we gotta reach for
Reach for
Reach for those bright lights
[Chorus]
This promised land, it's mine now
I'm building up my Kingdom
Building up my Kingdom
It's standing strong for me
Our voices can't be silenced
You're apart of my Kingdom
Apart of my Kingdom
And soon they all will see
[Verse 2]
Beginning to end
Truth into those lies you bend
Fake over real you depend (on)
Disrespectful commands
Order turns into chaos
Jobs turn into lay-offs (offs)
Friends turn into foes (bitch)
Women turn into hoes (switch)
Hate turns into love
Broken wings turn into doves
Destruction to construction
Disagreement to formation
Defeat to victory
Teamwork over trickery
The hearts of the Kingdom will be bringing forth the forefront of the force
That will open each of the doors, that will towards the light
Away from darkness, away from spite
[Lyrical Bridge]
Gotta reach for
Reach for
Reach for those bright lights (x2)

Top Gun (ft. QJ)
03:56
|

[Intro]
Uh yeah
All the way from Seoul City
To North Carolina
Epik High shout-out, uh
T-Squared, yeah
[Verse 1 - T-Squared]
The rebels come back, we got this
You got whack, we cut slack
We make tracks
Burning truth into your tiny little eye-sacs
No fast flow, we grow wiser as we go higher
Lyrical killers, so we'll only become iller, uh
Cause you know I got skills when I stay true to the art
Resurrect the game straight through the heart
Cause I'm hotter than a rocket-ship engine
Denizen of the Terra, Aqua, and Ventus
No sensors on my lines
But people making gibberish instead of rhymes
Too bad I'm past that
At last, I've amassed a vast rebellious craft
Slashed, dashed, and smashed any hope of your trashy rap
Oh snap, G-Dub back up on the track, oh no!
That's right cause you know we killing it, screaming die slow!
We're here to take back the truth from the skills that you lack
So fall back, it's all whack!
[Chorus: QJ & T-Squared]
I'm the Top Gun, Drop another hot one
(Designed to blow minds) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm the Top Gun, Competition got none
(No you really can't deny) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm the Top Gun and it won't stop son
(With these ice cold rhymes) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm on top-top-top-top of the game
I'm on top-top-top-top of the game
[QJ]
Its QJ, yeah
Word is Bond, pinky promise with goldfingers
Hot passion like I rap with the voice of a soul singer
Spitting fire, so chill, yeah the flow is a cold heater
Did you haters think I'd make it this far? Me neither
I'm the Top Gun, competition got none
Rhymes turn golden every time that I drop one
Never gonna stop son, never won't be not done
Fuck swag, think I be worrying if I got some...shiiiit
Got an ill mind like Hopsin
Fake rappers posing with guns but never shot one?
No way, done with that, doomsday, Watchmen
Let the message travel the globe from here to Scotland
Shooting for that spot one number, now say that shit backwards
A worthy emcee among these wannabe rappers
Truest in the art, from the heart, this is hip hop
No more delays, traffic, or pit stops, baby, I'm the Top Gun
[Chorus: QJ & T-Squared]
I'm the Top Gun, Drop another hot one
(Designed to blow minds) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm the Top Gun, Competition got none
(No you really can't deny) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm the Top Gun and it won't stop son
(With these ice cold rhymes) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm on top-top-top-top of the game
I'm on top-top-top-top of the game
[QJ - Bridge]
That's how we do it
Its G-Dub
Goliath Warfare
Oh Yeah
T-Squared
QJ
Keep It Classy, yeah!
[Verse 3 - T-Squared]
Eradication, when I erase the lies
The microphone is mine
So I devour it whole
Rhymes mean nothing unless they come straight from the soul
Unwise from the start, no growth from the heart
The beat and rhythm to add to the art
Fly enough for me to depart
This world needs truth at its peak
Get me wrong, well you get gone
Lost your mind with the loss of your kind, uh
There is no defeat
Believe that we speak
With the need in mind that will help out our peeps
So I suggest that you haters begin to retreat
Cause every microphone that is blown
In your ozone, shuts everything down, turning it bleak
If you feed the virus, escape and delete
Deplete the thing that you thought had somehow increased
Your skills have become tired, it's old and weak!
[Chorus: QJ & T-Squared]
I'm the Top Gun, Drop another hot one
(Designed to blow minds) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm the Top Gun, Competition got none
(No you really can't deny) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm the Top Gun and it won't stop son
(With these ice cold rhymes) Show me what-what you got (uh)
I'm on top-top-top-top of the game
I'm on top-top-top-top of the game
[Outro]
I'm the Top Gun, Drop another hot one
I'm the Top Gun, Competition got none
I'm the Top Gun and it won't stop son
I'm on top-top-top-top of the game
I'm on top-top-top-top of the game

Heaven Scent
02:24
|

[Intro]
Yeah
It's T-Squared
The Mourning Dawn
Heaven Scent
Brand new aroma of Hip Hop
Yeah
[Verse]
The beauty of a rhyme is in the brain of its beholder
I think over my rhymes in the blink of an eye
But if these words weren't meant to be
I wonder why, I would begin to dye my words in different colors
Maybe for my mind to bloom
Like a flower, the power that I hold inside my mind
Leaves most people with a sour thought in their brain
It's like they're going insane cause everything I say
Sets their minds ablaze from most anything
In this day and age, the poison is music
And the more you let it seep into your veins
The more you'll lose touch with what's real and it'll fade
From your memories, cause there is no symmetry
The imagery of me, bleeds for the ones I care about
But the side that everybody doesn't see
Is the side that physically feeds off the poison wafting through the air
But yo, wait a second
Let me reconcile for awhile cause I reckon that every wretched record
That we recorded is a symbolic way of saying that we ordered
You guys to break the borders of music and fuse it together
To create the diamond in the ruff
So when the going gets tough, we'll be able to call your bluff
And protect from the lies of the world and
Watch peace, love, and harmony unfurl cause
It's our timeline, lyrical hang-time
Seeing the flow wash into your mind
Rhymes with the ultimate intensity
Mentally, spitting like snakes on the mic
Words full of toxicity
Always a message, forever a vestige
Vessels essential to quench the thirst
Of the comparison of who's on first
Questing for our ultimate question
Checking for our message to see if it's checkered
Already seeing the game change from what we've seen before
So we won't stop, we won't ever be done
Cause this our time, we don't have no time to crawl
Hip Hop leaves no room for you to fall, uh
[Outro]
Dreams within our reach
All we have to do is pull it down (x3)
Nothing that can stop us
Now, now, now, now, now

Blue (ft. Mz T)
03:52

[T-Squared & Mz-T]
The dawn, it rose
Through the mourning sky
My breath is gone
As I watch you fade away from me
I'm singing my blues
Used to the pain in this lonely world
Singing my blues
Time will never heal these broken wounds, oh oh
[T-Squared]
(Eh oh)
The pain of my bleeding soul is just too much to really bare
I want to end this love story tonight
But you don't really care how I feel when I say goodbye
Our love is lost, teary eyes
Trying to wash out these bad feelings and sadness
I feel so hollow
There's no tomorrow without you
Under the same light, breathing the same air
But spare me the pity cause
I'm all alone now everyday
Picking up the pieces of the pen, once again
Writing about your absence, past tense
Words full of acid, cause my hopes were dashed and
Plastered on my wall of shame, to aim for the top
Was my number #1 goal, without you there, how can I truly feel whole?
Like separation of church and state, there's a difference
Without your care, baby girl, I just can't stand this distance (yeah)
[T-Squared & Mz-T]
The dawn, it rose
Through the mourning sky
My breath is gone
As I watch you fade away from me
I'm singing my blues
Used to the pain in this lonely world
Singing my blues
Time will never heal these broken wounds, oh oh
[Mz-T]
You're biased with no basis, baby
You overdramatize
One day I hope that you realize
I'm a human too
Looking back in retrospect
May not have always shown it
Think you've always known it
All I ever wanted was respect
You wanted me to play by your rules
One time we were silly fools
Come down off your high horse
And just accept the divorce
I feel so hollow without you
For me there's no tomorrow, ooh
Under the same moon
Breathing the same air
Spare me the pity
Cause I'm alone now everyday
[T-Squared & Mz-T]
The dawn, it rose
Through the mourning sky
My breath is gone
As I watch you fade away from me
And again tonight, under the moonlight
I will fall asleep alone
Tomorrow begins anew
I will miss you but I must move on with my life...
I'm singing my blues
Used to the pain in this lonely world
Singing my blues
Time will never heal these broken wounds
I'm singing my blues
Used to the pain in this lonely world
Singing my blues
Time will never heal these open wounds, oh oh

No Place
03:26
|
|||
I fade to black
And I listen to the sounds that emerge from around me
They shroud me
Ground me to this world
Curled me into an endless whorled
Mapping my entire life for me
It almost blinds my vision
But my decision that I make
Becomes more clear than ever
The music and its existence
Are the only things that matter to me
To be truth or not to be
Because with that I’ll be able to help
Those that are whelped into this place
Without any direction and have to suffer the infection
And so I fade back in
And speak all my truth and hope that people will listen
Or I’ll wither away and you’ll lose the one who always delivered
With a slither in my flow, you’ll find that everyone else gives you…
No place beyond, no place beyond (x3)
You’ve got no place beyond, no place beyond
No place beyond, no place beyond (x2)
This realm and the next
My guess is that you’ll fall into a mess
Void in your chest cause you’re disputed like the rest
It’s consuming your mind and binds all your joints
There’s no point to even go on
No choice but to fail and sulk
To give up and choke
But nope, you can’t soak in your own ailments
Don’t follow your tailwind
Just keep moving on
Cause, even if you’ve got no place to go
You’ve got to keep flowing
Showing everybody that you can keep going
Never showing ‘em, you’re slowing down at all
Believe in yourself and you shall see
It’s all your call and if you fail, it’s only your fault, because of you
That’s why it feels like there’s…
No place beyond, no place beyond (x3)
You’ve got no place beyond, no place beyond
No place beyond, no place beyond (x2)
My heaven, is me
Your heaven, is you

Airbag (ft. QJ)
04:41
|

[T-Squared]
I need an Airbag
Don't let the darkness take me, no no no
Don't let it eat me up
[QJ]
Ravens gather every morning right across the street
Somewhere close to 6:30pm
Every time without fail, the only way I know
Is cause I always stay awake just long enough to see them
Now breath out and breath in, don't have a reason
Yeah, I'm sure they don't either
They just follow the leader
No code of ethics
Yeah, I guess that's what I'm blessed with
But cursed by this analytical charge, so electric
Eclectic in my taste, let it soak through night owl prowess
Sleep through the day and then at night, I just stay up for hours
Allow us to have it to ourselves, and now its ours
Just me and my imagination
Wish I could find the patience
To distinguish the sacred from the naked
But both are so beautiful in their own right
I can tell this is going to be a long night
Dry your tears, grab on to something, and hold tight
[T-Squared]
I need an Airbag
Don't let the darkness take me, no no no
Don't let it eat me up
I need an Airbag
So I can survive this incoming fall
[QJ]
Its an eternal struggle, rich versus the commoners
Battlefield stretched over four thousand kilometers
So ominous, and no one can even tell what we're fighting for
It can't be peace cause that only leads to us fighting more
Not freedom cause eighty years is too short a time to earn this
Blades of shrapnel, sharper than any word is
Want to set fire but got nothing to burn with
No wonder we talk about how fucked up the world is
Pearl lips and sunrise eyes
Essence relative to steam and smoke on the rise
It's barely there, the face of my fantasy
Only truly there when I'm fast asleep
Cause its a harsh reality to wake up to
Sometimes hoping that the Grim Reaper will take us too
Me and my imagination
Hoping I can leave some for all of you before I finally reach the train station
[T-Squared]
I need an Airbag
Don't let the darkness take me, no no no
Don't let it eat me up
I need an Airbag
So I can survive this incoming fall
[QJ & T-Squared]
I guess I'm all alone again
I guess I'm all alone again
I guess I'm all alone again
Once again (x2)
[T-Squared]
Not you too
You left my heart (x2)
You don't understand
[QJ]
Democracy and Tyranny
Heroics and Villainy
Vanity and Nobility
So black and white, its killing me
Tight grip on every memory
Double reflection mirroring
Endless cycles of if, ands, and maybes
No lies left in my supply to satisfy your cravings
Misunderstood conscience that everybody loves hating
And though there are many roads in the mirror that I see when concentrating
I only follow the one that I'm paving
Drive slow homie
[T-Squared]
I need an Airbag (Drive slow homie)
Don't let the darkness take me, no no no
Don't let it eat me up (uh huh)
I need an Airbag (yeah)
So I can survive this incoming fall
(Me and my imagination)
[T-Squared]
On this night where I long you,
The rain comes down and my heart slips away
I Need You
Yes, I Need You
My Airbag (Airbag)
[QJ & T-Squared]
I guess I'm all alone again
I guess I'm all alone again
I guess I'm all alone again
Once again (x2)
Not Again

To Love's End
04:48
|
|||
[Verse 1]
They say to believe in love is a fool's game
No can be lonely all the same
But that's why I spit the truth so I won't feel shame
My heart becomes heavy because I feel its pain
A void left my heart a stain, a scar
A mark to remember the pressure that it once had back in the day
From bad experiences to playful appearances
I can't take it all away and so my mind, kind in its wake
Stopped being stupid, it was foolish and I knew it
Cause I blew it every single time
It was maddening to be a saddening loser
Developing cruiser off of love's peak
A geek without a cause
A rebel in disguise, eyes wide open but couldn't see the tears inside
I'm crying for a reason but I'm seething for a reason that i thought I denied
But everything comes to a halt when she manages to force my love to vault
Outta my system, vision clears up and my tears no longer overflow in my cup
Destiny, honestly promising you
That I'll be by your side forever
Yeah, baby girl
[Chorus]
From dawn to dusk
I will never let you go
You and me, until the end of time
If you're near or far
No matter where you are
I will be loving you till the end
[Verse 2]
Careless love, airless lungs
Flightless flower that gives me the power
To tower over everything and keeps me alive
Revived my heart from its slumber
Rumbled the inner sanctum
To lengthen the amount of time that we'd both survive
Cause without someone to hold as you grow old
Coldens a once passionate soul, sending it die
Through the lies and the fallacies
The hypocrites and the false allies
You gotta push through it all to get that feeling inside cause
You'll be scared, dangerously unstable
A loose electrical cable
Savagely unable to control your emotions
And you'll label everyone as your enemy
No peace, even at the ending of your calamity (uh)
A disease waiting to be released
So you gotta find happiness, the promised land
And do whatever your calling tells you
To soothe your mind, grind through your passion
Full throttle to make your dream a reality
Control your whole galaxy and that's why...
[Chorus]
From dawn to dusk
I will never let you go
You and me, until the end of time
If you're near or far
No matter where you are
I will be loving you till the end
[Verse 3]
Girl, you are my Final Fantasy
My Kingdom Hearts, similar anatomy
So we must be intertwined like the dark and light
We'll ignite our love to the greatest heights
No more black and white, in our line of sight
Our love to launch a preemptive strike
On the doubters that berated us from the start
Way too smart to take those things to heart
My mind aches for you while we're apart
Cause you're my only muse
That brings out the views
That I use to amuse the most hurtful bruises
I can't let you go nor can I lose you
If you leave me, I will never be free of
Your touching embrace and love
So take hold of my hand
Cause you know our love is dreamed of
Believed of, and schemed of
And there's usually a degree of pain and blame
From the same descent from happiness to depression
Into a recession of love
Turning it into a collection of hate
But wait, we've changed the pathway
Overflowing into something beautiful, true and full
Simple times timelessly crossing into existence
Love can't be wished for, you can only be patient and listen
Single is trouble, double, you'll have a conscious to guide you
Ride through, forever yeah
[Chorus]
From dawn to dusk
I will never let you go
You and me, until the end of time
If you're near or far
No matter where you are
I will be loving you till the end
[Outro]
I will be loving you till the end...

[Verse 1]
I spit the truth
I'm confident
I always try to inspire
While igniting the fire
Always try to be positive
But I'm not
I'm caught up in my own destruction
Loneliness eats up my own functions
Except for the one that makes me write
About the feelings that I always feel about life
I boast about being awesome
I'm really kidding myself, yeah
So I really feel dumb
I act like I'm fine
Like I'm kind
But everytime I try to write a rhyme
It always feeds back into my depression
And every question that involves it
Is answered with a no
Like I don't want my friends to know
And I don't so I'll just stretch the truth
I know from experience that if I act mysterious
The people that care won't ever be curious
[Chorus]
Knew that this would happen, just hoping that the truth will save me
Knew that this would happen, just praying that the truth will save me (x2)
[Verse 2]
Yeah I'm awesome (yeah)
Straight up fly dawg
Flows deeper than a lake or a bog
Damn, we always killing it
Filling your cup half empty to a cup half full
My fans pull and jerk my emotion
Thinking that they care when they really don't
And making me bare the turmoil
When I know I really won't
But whatever, I bounce back
Cause I know I'm talented
And you're all just haters, I just blow you away with my skills
Thrills from the coldest rhymes that I chill
For real, and if you can't deal
You can go fuck yourself, uppercut yourselves
Into the sun cause I'm done
I'm trying to be somebody, achieve something close to number one
And to prove to everybody that I'm second to none
Spun your minds with G-Dub
The dreams within our reach, all we have to do is pull it down
Be supportive, while we bring it around, come on
[Chorus]
Knew that this would happen, just hoping that the truth will save me
Knew that this would happen, just praying that the truth will save me (x2)
[Verse 3]
Who do I write for?
Me or myself?
Or do I write for those stuck in the same hell?
My mind is torn between thinking that when I'm blinking
Will I be sinking into depressing aftermath
Or will they be sinking that knife into my back?
Between the dreams that beam from my brain
Disappear in a lucrative pain
That stabs me wherever I sever the ties
With both sides of me, fighting for a place to be
To see new heights, to rise to a whole new level
To dissipate or rather dishevel
An overcomplicated mix of emotions
To cause ten times the commotion
To further the locomotion of the rebellion
To turn my muse into the girl
These useless thoughts, rocking back and forth
Till they can't be caught, will ultimately be the end of me
Forever falling in between the dark and light
In spite of both disappearing from my sight, uh
[Chorus]
Knew that this would happen, just hoping that the truth will save me
Knew that this would happen, just praying that the truth will save me (x2)
