Stars:
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
(JB the First Lady)
Made by supernatural beings
We were sent to do the healing
Break the cycles
Break the ceilings
Break the feelings
Planet moon and stars
Ancestors wonder what you are
Prayers dreamed you into life
Gave us vision and sight
Created earth, water and light
Honoured to be a part of the plan
Honoured to be a part of the land
Forever I will stand
Sun and moon and stars affected
Sun and moon and stars protected
Sun and moon and star selected
Not a mistake, time to a awake
Awaken the spirit
Awaken the lyrics
Projected in the future
Sharp shooter computer producer
Signal to the universe
Signal in reverse unrehearsed
Protected by thunderbird
Skyworld
Two words
Wifi password
Rap superstars memoirs
We all made of stars, we all made of stars, we all made of stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
(Missy D)
Baby steps to moon, baby steps to moon
Out of this world but I’m in the zone
I moonwalk my words coz im rewriting wrong
Universe we got a problem, am I the only one ?
They telling me know my limit play within it, sky's the limit I don't get it
Guess I kinda got a different vision
It ain't 2020, unclear and full of melanin
Star crossed love to you but I’ma find my connection
Give it away give it away now
I’m wired up
Gimme the mic, gimme the wifi
Here on your satellite
Let me get fired up
Call me stella, superstellar, among the galaxy and within your light...
I got 333 in this cosmic energy, calling all our ancestors for their prophecies
It's the hidden figures calculating mathematics
Whether you believe that my life really matters
It's written in the stars check my black ink patterns (Shine, shine, shine, shine)
Garde un peu de d'espoir vers nos étoiles
Regarde haut nous voilà devant toi
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
I am made of
Stars, stars, stars
(Kimmortal)
I wear the stars on my chest everyday
People’s ink on my skin have it engraved
As above so below yeah they surround me
Seeking this music cos I’m lookin for my family
Constellations that course through my veins
Even when they tried to erase our face
Better say their names
We won’t leave this space
Rise up root down
Ya this mic we gon blaze
You get a gay star
We transform the shapes
Pop a blue pill bill,
Stop throwing me shade
The science of spirit
Collective process
Purge out that bullshit
Your dreams have purpose
I’m a Lone Ranger ninja no sidekick
Chop up your pipe lines
Slice Trudeau’s government
Fight for the water
Power to workers
My voice can go low
I fuck with your jokes
Wet this dry system
Spittin my poetry
This bitch so fluid
We miss our mommies
Rest for the weary
Laugh Till I’m teary,
Visayan, Ilocano
I am somebody
What would Lola do?
Laugh at your do do
Flip it with my crew
Primordial soup
We serve that good Food
Lessons of immigrants
Dancing the star moves
We are the movement

Ice Palaces

Ice palaces:
You’re coolin’ out
While my head is coal burning
You’re smooth, son
Cause you got it all figured out
You talk slick
Exhale ya smoke and mirrors
And you’ll get away
This is nothing new to you
Nothing new to ya
This ain’t about luck
Ice palaces
That they made for you
They made for you
For you
Ice palaces
That they made for you
They made for you
For you
Oooh
Oooh
If you don’t listen you’ll miss the sound
Locked doors, silver spoons in mouths
While some can’t breathe, some yell loud
Freezing to death while you coolin out
You talk slick, exhale your smoke and mirrors,
Fire never made for this, they building up,
Like a game of Tetris, runnin’ circles on those tryin to make a buck.
I can’t feel the sun since they shot up these towers though,
Wanna grow a garden where seeds of our love light in the dark,
For everyone, not math and games that we hate to play,
Gettin’ crossed by iron snakes and ladders,
What really matters?
Banners read life over profit,
Prophets in the booth give a glimpse of the sun, sun, sun, sun.
Ice palaces
That they made for you
They made for you
For you
Ice palaces
That they made for you
They made for you
For you
My fire never made for this
My fire never made for this
My fire never made for this
My fire never made
My fire, fire, fire
My fire never made for this
My fire never made for this
My fire never made for this
My fire never made
My fire, fire, fire
Our fire never made for this
Our fire never made for this
Our fire never made for this
Oooo
Ice palaces
That they made for you
They made for you
For you
Ice palaces
That they made for you
They made for you
For you
Ice palaces
That they made for you
They made for you
For you

Questions?

Questions:
The questions
I have inside
Tell me am I wrong or am I right?
Can ya give me all the reasons why
Should we stay or should we fight? (Yah)
The questions
I have inside
Tell me am I wrong or am I right?
Can you give me all the reasons why
Should we stay or should we fly?
Maybe I just overthink it
But where are we both
even headed?
Is this our crossroads?
Where did our map go?
Do we not flow?
Do you believe in the one?
Fairytales and inventions
The questions that I keep inside
Toss a coin, roll the dice
Is space and time on our side?
Do we hold on too tight?
Switch off the light
Left in the dark
Skeletons in closets
Can we just pause it?
Do we go too fast?
Livin in past memories of what used to be
Do you still see me? Is it meant to be?
Lemme check my horoscope
Because I don't
know
And I ask these questions
As if you would
Give me an answer
Oooh
But I know that no label will mean a
Happily ever after
The questions
I have inside
Tell me am I wrong or am I right?
Can you give me all the reasons why
Should we stay or should we fly?
Do I bend over backwards just to make it all work?
If it all could be so simple than why do I dodge the hurt?
Did I get lost in us?
Did I forget my worth?
If we turn corners, what happens after?
Stuck on the first page or the last chapter?
I mean
I got a talent for
keeping my balance but are we a three legged chair?
Balancing up in midair?
Are we that unaware? or
Is this our rebirth?
Are these the growing pains to another phase
Stick around for better days?
I’ma see a psychic tho cos I don't know
And I ask these questions
As if you would
Give me an answer
Oooh
But I know that no label will mean a
Happily ever after
The questions
I have inside
Tell me am I wrong or am I right?
Can ya give me all the reasons why
Should we stay or should we fight? (Yah)
The questions
I have inside
Tell me am I wrong or am I right?

Should we stay or should we fight? (Yah)

ESCAPE:
Broke ass but I saved enough cash for our getaway
Ticket to a land faraway
Even if we get back and my bank run low
Least we had a break from the same old
You know I been tired for a minute
Fed up with the city,
Longing for the feeling of home
Get lost in a new place with me
I don’t want to do this alone
And I might glamourize these greener pastures
Know I’ll still confront my demons after
Ever happily but the sun is in our skin deep
We’re like mangoes, golden babe
Emotional labour, energy drained
We navigate shit that they threw in our way
The moon remembers how we held each other
Now I’m folding planes
About to take it higher
Ooooh
Escape, Escape, Escape, Escape
Yaaaa
Escape, Escape, Escape, Escape
Ooooh
I’m from the islands that won’t be silenced
Ancestor pilots, shoulders of giants
We landed here on native land
Your drum is beatin’, years like the sand
Can only stand here right beside you
A thousand maps and new escape routes
Ceremony inspires vision
This generation carves out a spaceship
(KHINGZ)
I'm so fuckin’ tired of all my fear
I'm so exhausted with don’t feel good enuf
Make clouds when skies are clear
Blow prayers to God and hope that they look at us
We hope for moments we don’t sip tears
Then we work to make ‘em that's just the hood in us
I'll fight forever young prince I swear
But know that war ain't the only good for us
All I really am is escaped from the matrix
All I really have is the strength that I bang with
But will it really last, will they ask, can we philly laff
While I'm feeling that, pill and half, life is is brillo pad
All the ills I feel will kill my ass gramps would kill to have
He can from field to Cadillac I can handle this
Just need space and my grandma kiss
So I can think strait let the planet spin
Mask a split in 2 perts (parts)
Truth hurts masochist
Manifest rest dammit man that's where my habit is
Understanding pain
If my livings in vain where them straps hummin
Coming at ya where the hammer clicks
Feel so good just to kicc it huh
But I cant hang if there no light
Wanna know who you can run too
Here’s a little secret look at both sides
You wanna feel electric we can both slide
But anywhere we go there our folks died
Swear I won’t say swear I won’t cry
Swear I won’t break swear I won’t hide
Say I won’t ride say I won’t ride
I say I ride my wave so clean loc I'm so tide
No chain no rope folk I don’t know tied
Local dope boy with his old mind
Oooo
Escape, Escape, Escape, Escape
Yaaaa
Escape, Escape, Escape, Escape
Oooo

I'm Blue

I’m Blue:
Once upon a time I made myself number one,
Now I'm roasting under blazing sun, ridin’ shotgun,
You at the wheel. My free will at your direction.
Memorized your signs but forgot my own reflection.
No more eggs in my basket, I gave them all to you,
Still hungry after fables, but I ran out of spoons,
Giving more than I can give, overextending my wings,
Good at playing your games but, this is not a win win.
I been sinking in your dirty dishes even when my plates full,
I'll marry myself, I’ll remain faithful,
One day I'll leave the table ‘cos you stopped serving love,
Crave the taste of solitude, I know it is enough.
I'm blue, the colour of my solitude.
I'm blue , I'ma choose to love me over you.
I've lost count of how many times I knew my yes was a no.
I'm your clown out of habit, there is dust on my throne.
For you I dropped my shit just to hear you say hero.
Fly you to your dreams, distract me from my own.
Maybe baby someday I will learn to be alone,
Fly myself up to the moon and build a gate around my zone,
I bust the myth that I am selfish when I take care of myself.
Repeat it till I hear it, reverse the trauma in my cells.
Blue, the colour of my solitude.
I'm blue (ooh) , I'ma choose to love me over you, over you.
You are not a burden baby. You are on purpose baby.
You are not a burden baby. You are on purpose,
Yeah, you are on purpose.
Oooo
Oooooo
Oooooooo

Sad Femme Club:
Dear Goddess,
Give me patience,
Tired of trying to explain.
I’ve got zero tolerance when they fuck with my sacred space.
Bar the trolls. Hit the corners for escape.
Build the platforms. Take up space.
Code the scripts to infiltrate, cause you’re never not fighting.
A racist system that keeps powers in place and that fails to acknowledge the root of your pain.
Took it too personal, over emotional,
Where are you from? Are you beauty or brains?
Over the top, I’m too little or too much.
Damned if I do and I’m damned if I do not.
Talking class, race, gender, sex, intersections.
My feelings are valid and I won’t dismiss ‘em.
I was taught not to trust my
Own mind and decisions
My body is my body
I won’t give them an apology.
Indoctrinated habits
Like smile, nod your head, uh huh,
I’ll talk less, close my legs, what?
That’s exactly what I just said.
Are you serious?
If I lose my shit right now,
Will I just be dismissed right now?
If I lose my shit right now,
Will I just be dismissed right now?
Will I just be dismissed?
Welcome to the Sad Femme Club!
Baby, you are enough!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Welcome to the Sad Femme Club!
Baby, you are enough!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Toxic masculinity is killin’ all the poetry,
Hold my brothers back from free flowing with the sea,
Our tears like the holy ink to sink a patriarchy
Poppin’ egos like balloons ‘cause we don’t exist for you.
Burn your eyes with Tiger Balm.
Don’t try to tell her to be calm.
Colonial repercussions any questions
CC: the boss.
Uhm, she’s the boss.
Expert of self.
They pray to moon.
She raps in spells.
I’m attuned to, what you’re numb to.
Check my mood ring.
Did I ask you? (No!)
I prefer my make believe to their bullshit.
I work within it but at the end of shift
I build spectrums on the internet.
I art attack cos I’m an empath.
Foundations, FilipinX,
No limits on how I choose to express
With my pixels and my queerness,
You can’t hold me back!
If I lose my shit right now,
Will I just be dismissed right now?
If I lose my shit right now,
Will I just be dismissed right now?
Will I just be dismissed?
Welcome to the Sad Femme Club!
Baby, you are enough!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Welcome to the Sad Femme Club!
Baby, you are enough!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Boo hoooooo
Boo hoooooo
It’s my life. I can cry if I want to,
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
It’s my art, I can rage if I want to,
Rage if I want to, rage
Cry (Roar)

88 & Beyond
03:15
|

88 and beyond:
I renamed myself Kimmortal
Cos I sense a thousand portals
Flow through venous systems
Boom bop beats for circulation
Indigo kids in the studio and art room
Channel into new tunes
Lettin’ spirit speak through
Pick the common thread out of the news
Weave that new new
I’m seein’ seas in their shallow translations
That lack imagination
Art as incantation where it’s all in relation
Umbilical connection
No separation
Hand hold the Bangka
Carvin’ out a mantra
Aalaga para sa mga bata
Rock it Ilocana just like my mama
I'm queer like the water, resilient through trauma
How can we move when some of us are wounded?
Patience in cycles, motion and movement
All lives won’t matter till black lives matter
Bound up in liberation with indigenous nations
To infinity
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
Even bigger than this song
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
Hack the thing at every angle, till we roll with angels
I’m crooked on your book of lines
Circled them a thousand times
Scribble with my tangents
Settin’ fire on your palace white
Ivory towers keep powers cinematic
Illusion unsustainable
Rapper slash actress
Income unpredictable
Nothing stay romantic
Relationship to art unstable
But commit to back it
Fuck about a cool façade
Lies glasses
Reindigenize, travel time, this intergalactic,
Open letter to the ill emcees building blocks that
Only serve to box us in my zone the equinox
A planetarium, shit kaleidoscopic
Mark it up with copics
Animated graphic
I am the motion
Not a decoration
Welcome to my universe
Check my constellation
If you hangin’ by a thread
Hold these lines for survival
My legacy the seed ascending
This is our arrival
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
Even bigger than this song
88 and beyond, 88 and beyond, 88 and beyond
Hack the thing at every angle, till we roll with angels

What is a witch? Cast a spell on ‘em
Journey through the glitch
Tick tock magic carpet
Flow in through time
Magnify the Matrix
Balance for the levels
She devil she angel she omni he she they
How you look at it ?
How you how you look at it?
Eyes wise forest mind
Elder is a child on the front lines
Lines traced, two faced
Duality of rhyme
Humility in shine
Got skills from crimes committed against the system
I been fighting ever since you was a kid and they called you savage now we kick em, spit
Traditions obedient to cosmic
Say it cos you mean it
Dance cause u mean it
Sign off on Statements
Resculpt a landscape
Homies Redesign it till I hear my sis say
Focus on Your target
Kabsat with the scars lit
Killin em with softness
Finger to the markets
Back of the car
No bargain just acknowledge stars
Or take your own
Medicine it will go far for healing
Radical existence, energy we swim in
Salmon by the bangka
She scream “Makibaka!”
March like the water
Tell me how to scheme on ‘em with their own language
mother tongue took the last flight from
Manila To Coast Salish
I'm a baby roaring
I'm a bitch burning
What's a witch learning?
Universe teach me
Teach us how to weep free
Weep free
Universe teach me
Teach us how to weep free
Weep free

Submerged:
I sink into it
Submerged my cloudy head
I’m crying underwater now
I could sleep away the hours
Hibernate until these flowers give me powers
I think I lost something
It’s all going too fast for me
I keep swimming in our memories
Can someone please just hold me?
I miss holding your hands,
But I grew wings for my motherland,
I am flying underwater now
We used to listen to the rain fallin’
Public pools and the sun setting
“You’re gonna forget all of this,” you said.
It’s all going too fast for me
I keep swimming in our memories
Can someone please just hold me?
