Butterfly (Glue) (with Offsite)
[Offsite Verse]
Speak of the devil
He’s callin’ my cell phone
So I speak to the devil
Keeps me from peakin’ my level
So I bow to defeat to the devil
Gimme that greed of the devil
Feed on the meek like the devil
I don’t wanna be weak
So I’m gonna go meet with the devil
Bask in the heat with the devil
Maxin’ degrees with the devil
Bachelor’s degree had a handle on me
But the devil gave me a hand now the
Handle’s gone free cuz the devil
Tempted ’n I accepted
Now I’m steppin’ with these stilts
Neck to neck with no one else
Cuz they’re all head to toe in guilt
’N I’m undressin’ all these chains
Lebron James meets Harrison Bergeron
Pectoral implants or cyborg enhancements
I’m livin’ I’m gettin’ my surgeon on
My thirst is strong
My beverage is menace
Benchpressin’ timorace bedridden tenants
Sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Vengeance
The night
The night is here! In my biosphere!
And I might s away to the Nightosphere
[Chorus]
And I find...
Power in the shadow that the light casts

[Dunzo Donalds Verse]
Thought I came fresh with a mesh
What you mean?
Thought I was a god-send pulsin’ on a false blend
Puttin’ on a small skin
Falter only malm when a balm wrong blind
Butter flying wings clipped
Call angel singlet
Sing to the pigs clim
Shift to the window
Open in the film goes
Black 'til the moment know
Gnostic with devil tints
Work so hard for another meager metal!
Dig deep earth til they pat you with the shovel
Never seen a shadow
If you never look behind back
Trust in the trust love
Only when it’s worthwhile
'Nother quarter turn
Two step hold hands
Love lost now you see your worth as a man
Tell truth only when it hurts least outside
Brutal with the insides
Always looking inside
What it all mean?
Brutal with the Self
(What it all mean?)
Phantom district
And they get teeth
Black eyes and it reeks
Told much reasoning
On why you went scarred
Rolled a couple sections in a slim hemp shim
Lit another torch off yours
Lit a torch from another torch
(…From another torch
Now it’s like a stadium of candle wick
But step back– look another minute
Hmm…and it all looks Nick
Touch a friend shoulder)
Trust 100s of degrees never
Made a city breathe
Trust that fifty badges never
Made the kids laugh
Trust another verse not needed but required
Like he don’t make the decisions
Arm just do it for’ em
Never quite a butterfly
Jus' stuck in a cocoon
But if another comes 'round
It’s not such a crowded room
And its value to the world
If I open up a space
Touch down on a venture
Push deep in the frame
Got a black mark
Pop put it on my name
Grief gold tundra
Cold winter on the plane
Not-knowing
Called most intimate its true
Books left lone on the shelf
Call it "glue"

[Chorus]
And I find...
Power in the shadow that the light casts
