Onward
Greydon Square Lyrics

Forward! they can not stop us now
We are advancing towards our goals and no one can stand in our way

only hope to contain us, let em try and knock us down
Those who oppose us can only hope to limit our progress, but they will not succeed in stopping us

Onward!
We will continue moving forward towards our objective

they'll never stop us now
Our adversaries may attempt to stop us, but they will not succeed

So they hope to contain us, let em try and knock us down
Our opponents desire to limit us, but we will resist their attempts and keep advancing

This is hallway memory flashback
A recollection of past events related to a particular place or time

we watched em sugar coat good times with a laugh track
We observed people hiding the truth about their positive experiences in order to make them seem more enjoyable

while they forcefed us Shadrack Meshack Abednego
We were compelled to consume undesirable things akin to the feeding of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the Bible

in the same meal as that Mercedez benz and hoe
We were forced to endure unwanted experiences in conjunction with pleasant ones

I made music from a Greydon persepective
The music I created was influenced by my unique viewpoint

ex gangbangin' atheist veteren
I am an atheist and a former gang member with military experience

waitin til 2011, so i can hear all these 2012 freaks preach
I was anticipating the year 2011 so I could hear people who believed in the 2012 apocalypse propagate their views

about the end of the world is the end of the week
Many people predicted the world would end in 2012, but it did not come to pass

grab the grinder and scrap the keef
Retrieve the marijuana grinder and collect the residue

throw it in a bowl grab the lighter and blaze the heat
Place the marijuana residue in a bowl and ignite it

while you all excited hold your breath and think of me (Mr. X)
As you become ecstatic, remember me (Mr. X)

peace to Carl Sagan,
Acknowledgement of Carl Sagan's influence and contribution to science and scientific thinking

let your mind be everywhere like tattoos on basketball players
Expand your thinking and let it be pervasive, like tattoos on basketball players

like the dark cape of darth vader
Mysterious and imposing, like Darth Vader's cape

I cloak it all and pack a large saber
I conceal everything and keep a potent weapon at the ready

only the living have a problem with death
Only those who are alive are bothered by death

that seems to be the only saga that's left
Death is the only inevitable occurrence in life

yea
An interjection to affirm a previous statement or thought

Keep your slow raps and white tees
Negative comment about a particular style of music and fashion

the only thing you could bring to excite me is a ship capable of light speed
The only thing that would impress me is a technologically advanced feat like faster-than-light travel

otherwise don't invite me cause i might surprise ya
I may react in a way that is unexpected if my expectations are not met

with metaphors that'll send you beyond the light horizon
I will use metaphors that will stimulate the listener and transport them beyond the limits of their imagination

my fans are smarter than the average groupie
My supporters possess higher levels of intelligence than the typical fan

they hear you and want their money back like a bad movie
The audience is dissatisfied with the quality of the entertainment and wants their money refunded

thats why i seek a higher purpose
The reason I pursue a greater objective

to be free in all the ways your not like Tyler Durden
The aspiration to be liberated in ways that most people are not, comparable to the character Tyler Durden in the movie Fight Club

you are not your job or your muthafuckin khakis
You are more than just your occupation or the clothes you wear

there's alot of people walking around here unhappy
There are numerous individuals who are discontent in the world

but that's life, thats why snap and attack the mic precise, emcee'n;
Unhappiness is a part of life, which is why I express myself through precise rap performances

...if I aint spittin then i'm leavin'
If I am not performing well, I will leave

cause i don't believe in spirits and demons i'm a heathen
I do not believe in the existence of spirits and demons, which makes me a heathen

while the people who believe it the most have never seen it
Ironically, those who fervently believe in spirits and demons have never witnessed their existence

this is the great age where every man has his price
In this era, everyone can be bought for a certain sum

and for that wheel of fortune they will move that Vanna White
For the chance to win money, people are willing to part with their morals and principles

im on a collision course with several rappers
I am on a direct path towards conflict with multiple other rappers

bent over backwards, over a few books of which i've dissed several chapters
I have taken a lot of time and effort to critique certain books and have expressed disdain for several chapters

if i explode, you'll get hit by the metal fragments
If I become angry and act out, everyone around me will be affected

you fit in, i want to stand out like a yellow jacket
You conform to society's norms, while I strive to be unique and noticed like a yellow jacket

i'll use rebel tactics if the battle's ever drastic
If the situation becomes dire, I will resort to subversive techniques

which involves a shovel and a hatchet
The specific tactics I would use are to be determined, but may involve a shovel and a hatchet

the only universal language is mathematics
The only language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers is mathematics

infinitely massive, self induced vacuum
An enormous, self-created emptiness

its where you live stupid, your own corner of the galaxy
That's where you reside, ignorant person - in your own portion of the universe

so why in your hell, would you ever want to challenge me
Given your limited realm of influence, why would you want to challenge me?

a simple shot across your bow
A warning shot meant to show that I am prepared and will not hesitate to engage fully

warning you to chill out and keep my name out your mouth
An admonition to stay calm and refrain from speaking negatively about me

we'll never agree on religion or see eye to eye
We will never fully agree or have the same perspective when it comes to religion

so you just preach yours and i'm a spit rhymes
Speak your beliefs and I will express myself through rap

let our paths go different ways not intertwine
Let us part ways and not cross paths in the future

if you cool, i'm fine otherwise...
I am content as long as you are not confrontational or aggressive. If you are, I have no patience for that
