Hardcore - Thavius Beck

In the deepest recesses

Underneath the abscesses

Somewhere between adolescence

And a pending death sentence

I can sense a re-emergence of music’s hardest occurrence

Most potent at its purest

No placebos for the people

This solution’s indivisible and unequivocal

To any feeble vocal previously heard

I don’t merely speak words

I’m conveying ideas

Sound waves paint a picture like a retina’s in your ears

Synesthesia’s in effect

Synthesizers in your neck

808s break breast plates

Medics on deck

So there’s still no need to panic

Even when I’m feeling manic

Frantic energy is cracking granite throughout the vicinity

The instant the LED’s flash for the guaranteed cash

Every predecessor’s burned and returned back to ash

And the space that they previously took up

I occupied and shook up

And now they see my shoes when they look up

From the lowest vantage point

My advantage

Match point

Next serve

It’s an ace

Put the trophy in the case

While you’re at it crank the bass up on this racket

Vibration for the sedentary could be problematic

‘Cuz once the speakers active instant movement’s automatic

My enemy’s combative ‘cuz their energy is static

In other words motionless

At rest

And idle

Patrons at their recital simply stand

Clearly they don’t give a damn

On the other hand

What I understand

Is a beat

And the complimentary components that make it complete

Make the vocals ride

Like they’re tied to the driver’s seat

And make sure that when you speak

It’s nothing but pure heat

That’s my current checklist with each box X’d off

While the next (is) too soft at his peak to compete

With shit I consider weak

But it’s not my place to judge

I’m just here to speak my mind

Several minutes at a time

Over music I’ve designed

Under-rated undefined

Hardcore like a crime with triple digit jail time

Confined in solitary with restraints

And sharp like a shank through the skin of your kin

This is real hardcore
