One time for your mind Check the muthafuckin' rhyme Like a sun bet I shine Awon I'm on that Sergio Tachinni Purple Tape era shit Bow when you see me Brim low Beard rough On my Frankie Beverly Yevve Saint Laurent Cologne stay smelling heavenly Tempress in my deck Rolling like a gangster Baby Ruger with the wifey Copped it for the wankstas Intelligentsia in the morning fine coffee drinker My old head still rock the rope With the anchor Stash like the Whispers Spending old hundreds Pouring up Obama Henny like it ain't nothing But for something Is more nothing with no passion The wars coming y'all keep spending While I'm stacking And I'm gon make it happen I'm the captain of the team Facilitate the rock So that the block is my regime Double entendres double entendres Cause I'm a monster Metaphors will stop ya Bars brolic like a Tonka Awon set it Never will I sweat Fuck around when I'm swinging swords get beheaded Magnetic Danger Known to tote a laser Teleport through the solar system Bringing flavor High off the fungi I'm a war general From planets above Your sky Metaphysical Critical Powerful Impact I been strapped Like bokeem and Bamboo Rashard chopped up the sample It ain't nothing but some dark shit nocturnally Feeding frenzies On some shark shit Trading war stories about when the Narcs hit Hennessy in red cups Sparking on a park bench Young wolves gather around to see The dice game Italian sportswear and everybody got a nice chain Wrist chunky double or nothing Your hear the metal move The block like Home Depot We toting hella tools

Controlled substances And the pharmaceuticals Used to Sling crack rocks Coke under my cuticles I'm the indisputable Champion in chariots With the foreign engines Forgive me for my arrogance Y'all are just embarrassing Sipping on this Hennessy Sparking up the gasoline God gave me the energy With my bible I'm taking you to churches Rest In peace to Tupac Bishop of the verses Nigga I'm your preacher Ya pastor and your teacher You gonna take this knowledge Or you gonna get this ether Israel issued split your tissue If you fuck around Bury you alive You ain't know I'm from the underground Awon murder emcees on the daily Just for fun Every time I drop On the bandcamp I'm #1 Don't Sleep Records is the Supreme of this rap shit Link Rust produced it Mics I got em mastered This goes out to all the Old Dirty Bastards With Packs in the freezer And stacks in the mattress A gun under your pillow Same clothes while you trapping Misunderstood you just trying to make it happen This goes out to all the Old Dirty Bastards With Packs in the freezer And stacks in the mattress A gun under your pillow Same clothes while you trapping Misunderstood you just trying to make it happen Buss it down in fractions Eye balling the rations Smelling the stink of crack funk Contemplating paths when Them niggas start hating Or them boys come chasing In the house mind racing Caking while they freebasing It's the pits of hell You don't enjoy the sell Until it's 500s heavy weight On the scale The block is impaled with a gem star In geometric shapes that could build a case and send you upstate Wait but not patiently Educate and elevate The state of mind For me to build I gotta destroy Or wait in line Nigga I'm taking mine Bitch I'm straight divine Supreme being who shine So this goes out to all my old dirty bastard With packs in the freezer and stacks up in the mattress gun under the pillow Same clothes while you trapping Misunderstood you just trynna make it happen This goes out to all the Old Dirty Bastards With Packs in the freezer And stacks in the mattress A gun under your pillow Same clothes while you trapping Misunderstood you just trying to make it happen This goes out to all the Old Dirty Bastards With Packs in the freezer And stacks in the mattress A gun under your pillow Same clothes while you trapping Misunderstood you just trying to make it happen

I'm so tired of rain I need a little sunlight I dueled with the iron mic Black clouds over me I'm still shining bright I'm so tired of rain I need a little sunlight I dueled with the iron mic Black clouds over me I'm still shining bright My anxiety is acting up I'm having nicotine withdrawal I put the blunts down for a second But drowning in some alcohol Henny Black over eggnog Passing out Listening to gospel on the vinyl Thinking of grandma I'm not going out Nothing takes away my pain Just copped the new Jordan's I can't wear them in the rain Nothing satisfies the black hole in my soul Nothing I can buy No way I can get high When I'm so low Eating once a day just for fuel Even in silence My anger level is Run the Jewels My time line filled with fucking fools So cynical Pessimistic people Need a mouth full of genitals I just need a laugh There's enough to be mad about I'm Fuck the world There's enough to be sad about I'm so tired of rain I need a little sunlight I dueled with the iron mic Black clouds over me I'm still shining bright I'm so tired of rain I need a little sunlight I dueled with the iron mic Black clouds over me I'm still shining bright The more you turning up The more you need to fill a void You make it rain cream And you ain't even employed I'm confused Not amused by this shit on the daily I don't understand people I know And so rarely Does anyone say anything positive No knowledge no love I don't see how they live I'm the God I'm the Lord Slaying demons with my sword That is pure liquid lyrical Futuristic spirituals A spitting miracles Deconstructed gems Catching the Holy Ghost Spitting mutha fucking hymns I'm so tired of the rain I need a little sunlight Depressed and stressed Don't make me get my gun right So with only one mic My heart is on my sleeve But respond to gossip What do you believe How was this conceived Did elites really achieve Controlling the population So consumers we will breed

about

Moon Beams is a project by rapper Awon and producer Linkrust that takes the listener on a spaced out afrofuturistic journey through the streets as they exist today, yesterday, and possibly the future. The music by Linkrust is obscure, raw, and gritty yet beautiful at times composed as it is an alien operating on a different frquency. The accompanying lyrics of Awon only enhance the vibration making this musical offering one that should be listened to as a mix or in one sitting to gain the full experience of this genre bending journey into another time, place, and possibly galaxy.
