2. One Million Battles
(produced by Dynamo 414, cuts by Shortrock courtesy of Uncommon Records)

As a rapper I am asked to collaborate with a bunch of different people. Sometimes those collaborations are the ONLY recordings I end up doing throughout the year. I think there are at least 20 collaborative songs I've done out there that have never been released in any shape or form. After a show in Boston in 2009 I was asked to rap on a song with this young fellow over a sort of trappy bounce beat. The song was never released so I asked Dynamo to remix my verse and this is what he made. This was shortly after Fake Four started & I was flexing my DIY muscles with these lyrics.

lyrics

When I wake up in the morning I'ma take a little minute to reflect over the constant madness.
In the beginning there will never be any luxury we're struggling 'til the moment that we all have this
system in the palm of our hands
I was born to be a working man
with these calluses covering every single fingertip
never wanted to be rich
never wanted a beamer
or twenty bitches on my dick
just music, truth and movement
just wanna live outside of the box and do this for a living
I'ma kill it every time that I get up on the mic
Anonymous Inc. shines
brighter than a tight fist in the sunlight
we combine to combat the finite
whatever sparks in the mind of a child
can be the most incredible vision demonstrated for miles

we fought one million battles
lost limbs and friends on the way
this art is war in the end though
I don't really give a damn what they say
they think i'm playing around
but this shit aint fun or games
it's my life and i'll do it 'til the end of it
real recognize real
fuck all the venomous

we fought one million battles
lost limbs and friends on the way
this art is war in the end though
I don't really give a damn what they say

individuals chewing away at little pieces of my creativity
record labels were killing me
so I started doing it for myself by myself
now nobody can tell me what I should be
or shouldn't be
should've been
could've been
would've been
but you never really kept any promises
now I'm gonna go and get it done
gonna make it for the love
get the fuck out of my way
run!

we fought one million battles
lost limbs and friends on the way
this art is war in the end though
I don't really give a damn what they say
