[Intro: Crescent Moon]
Generation after generation, uh
[Verse 1: Crescent Moon]
A life form was born, a light storm accumulated
Abnormally configurated, constellations had created
He raised it sedated with the way that he played with language
Knowing that he could change it, slowly this kid became it
He contained it and trained it, claimed that every word was sacred
And hoped he could take this communication to a spaceship
Attached to every syllable by umbilical
He gave it minerals, just clean the chemicals out individuals
[Verse 2: Mesh]
Sixth grade junior high, it became bred into my bloodstream
Needed nobody to plug me cuz I was living it lovely
Thought I suffered schizophrenia or multiple personalities
Cuz I was all alone in my own subverse reality
Politics were nonsense for popularity contests
I was a kid pulling the fire alarm or calling all the bombs threats
While the rest were staying numb or playing dumb, I was the ray of Sun
Shining through the cloudy overcast, knowing my day had come
[Verse 3: Crescent Moon]
Married to vocabulary, buried deep inside his thoughts
Lost in time, a very fine line that he tried to cross
What separates you from me and us from them
He learned how to write fluently with a busted pen
Never really trusted friends so he must've been a hermit
Not concerned with the purpose cuz he hadn't yet surfaced
Although incomplete, had to keep using his mind tools
So he stayed underneath, filling sheets of wide rule
[Verse 4: Mesh]
South High freshman year, I tried to push it on my peers
And they wasn't trying to hear but in their eyes, now fear
People persecuted me for what they were afraid of
Instead of displaying love, they'd only doubt what I was made of
Senior overnight became my unofficial first show
Response was controversial but nonetheless the birth was known
Party cipher circles congregated on the weekend
The movement gained momentum, more people hear me speaking
[Verse 5: Mesh]
Now the conception of Kanser at the theater on Cedar and Riverside
Make a break, swim or sink, live or die
Reciting lines at Mighty Fine the night we find our placement
First came Now and then Network with the efforts of A.N.T.'s basement
Taking risks to ensure the rise of this empire
Persevering through the hardships, devotion will send us higher
Brainstorming pain in the morning from another sleepless night
But the speech is tight, bringing forth a deeper insight
[Verse 6: Crescent Moon]
Tracing blueprints for the movement from an observation tag
A student who needed improvement but their props were waiting, that's
A lot of patience left when he started creating texts
And taking steps but was reimbursed with a verse for breaking necks
At first was racing death, bracing time, chasing depth, embracing rhymes
The nation kept his station blind in case he set his stakes too high
He traced the sky, erased the lines, made different conscious space designs
Realized his fate to rhyme so he said "I'll take what's mine"
[Verse 7: Mesh]
All the fronts that we hated faded away once we made it
My name is Mesh, I'll say this once properly pronunciated
Day by day the passion grows so at time, the task is slow
Through underground recognition, status international
Given a gift to enlighten with the mic and don't abuse it
I'm more consciously conscious with decisions that I'm choosing
And the love of my music's what I use to show the patience
The difference now, I get a standing ovation
[Verse 8: Crescent Moon]
Deeply rooted to his music, kept secluded from the humans
No one knew what he was doing, just assumed that he was shrooming
He was losing a grasp on life and the day became illusion
Notebook eventually filled in his brain the same conclusion
He had bloomed into a rose but something stopped his limbs
A puzzle locked within as vital as his oxygen
Every muscle in his body tore in half, vision went black
And he died with his puzzle, I mean his journal on his lap
[Outro: Crescent Moon]
Now birth, death, first step
The puzzle of the mind is where the words kept
These are the stories of life's integrations
Of reality and dreams generation after generation
Generation after generation, Mesh One, Crescent Moon, 2000 and beyond, haha...
