  • Madd Maxx Intro (Outro)
    Madd Maxx on the beat, Coolie Love on the rhyme
    Wildstyle in the house, and the pleasure is mine
    Testin’ my limits is the way I define
    The process when I sit down to write a new rhyme
    I’mma do fine, signed or still unsigned
    Artistic freedom? That’s a hill I’ll climb
    Matter of fact, probably be a great place to die
    In the meantime I’ll have the time of my life
    The harder I try, time and I don’t see eye to eye
    But I’mma keep this flow till the well run dry
    Madd Maxx and AMC...the Wildstyle’s revived

  • Freestyle '90 [2021 Take]
    Written Verse:
    My power of speech gives me the length to reach…
    …Minds, and enlighten those who think I can’t teach…
    …Any style that there is, you think it’s dope cause it is
    I’m the master, rhymin’ faster, one the best in the biz
    So start mindin’ your own, leave my lyrics alone
    Ain’t this a… ya ain’t a dog, so get up offa my bone
    Step off, you’re too soft, ya come to close, you’ll get tossed
    You’re in awe, my rhyme’s a maze, so you’re bound to get lost…
    …In the rhyme, you fell asleep, my crown I’m plannin’ to keep
    So if you riff, bring a raft, cause it’s gonna get deep
    No way out, you shoulda stayed out, but instead you got played
    I dealt the cards, ran the game, and you can bet I got paid in the end
    From the beginning I was destined to win
    I’m the immortal lyric leader, causin’ chaos again, and again
    Can’t get enough, the ruler’s gotta be rough
    My crew’s in line…I’m on the roll; like a crease and a cuff
    So, what’s up? You think you’re tough? Well, I’m callin’ your bluff
    So when you step, watch your rep, or it’s gonna get snuffed…
    Out like a light, what up bud, you uptight?
    Cause I’m living like a giant, and as fly as a kite
    And my girlie is fly, when she looks in my eye
    I touch her wrist and give a kiss, yeah, that’s my reply
    And, suckers don’t front, because I know what you want
    I know you’re flipping, you think I’m trippin’, but I mastered the stunt
    Because I’m always a trip, and you’re all on my tip
    The Rap commando; rap’s my ammo, and my mic’s got a clip
    So don’t slip, watch your step, hide your pride, get a grip
    Or you’ll find yourself sinkin’, going out like a ship
    Improv Verse:
    Sometimes I don’t know where to start
    So I just go in the mind, then I speak from the heart
    Let the words just flow, cause the mind just knows what it knows
    Know what I’m sayin’? So I follow the prose
    And, “the prose”, what I meant is the way I’m poetic
    That’s what I’m sayin’, yeah, and don’t you ever forget it
    And I make sure you listen, and I make sure you learn
    When I get on the mic and I’m takin’ my turn
    I’ve performed for the best, I’ve performed for the worst
    I kick a style, any style, but I don’t need a curse
    I use the mind and mental, and my style is essential
    That’s what I’m sayin’, that’s how I do it, and it’s never a rental
    Ya payin’ full price because the style is so nice
    And the way that I do it, I know that it will…entice
    All those who do be listenin’... (gibberish outro)

  • Driftin' Thru Time
    Me and Max are on mission, and we plan to succeed
    That hand that’ll feed, challenge any brand, any breed
    That planet’ll bleed, the ocean turn the size of a sea
    The lies you believe equals what defines your belief
    To find some relief, use your own mind when you speak
    They prey on the week, they pray that we lay for defeat
    A craving they’ll keep, I plan on staying firm on feet
    Turning a cheek to check both ways ‘fore I strike
    They that I write will make no waste of my rights
    Not chasing no lights, I don’t need fakes in my life
    The fake kinda like, that fate only faith decides
    A great surprise, twist ending, mystified
    The big divide, the victor being victimized
    I sympathize, assemble let’s synthesize
    A sense a pride might keep ya from the sensible side
    Tension’ll rise, I’m twitching cause I’m itching for mine
    Wishing the rhyme’ll reach em ‘stead of drifting thru time
    The Wildstyle is a method, it’s been more than name
    The cure for your boredom, the pure, instead of more of the same
    I was born in the flame, my skin still burning today
    Concerning to say, but help instead of turning away
    Learn everyday new ways that the plan could fail
    BAM disrailed, even though though we planned it well
    But I’m here to tell, that insight will set things right
    With all my might I’ll write til the dark turn light
    Start the fight, switch from bark to bite
    My heart was light but now it’s so heavy to hold
    I changed my path, but trouble was on every road
    So here we go, the past is the last resort
    So as we were, for the love, PLUS the cash and the sport
    The brash and raw, the proof of what the passion’s for
    To the max of course, cause Maxx is who’s actually for
    His beautiful mind mastered how the music combine
    I use it to rhyme cause it brings peace to mine

  • Seems Great [Madd Maxx Mix]
    I used to walk many miles, writing rhymes to say
    With a great memory on full display
    Locked in my head, get home quick as I can
    Turn on the 4-track, put the mic in hand
    And I might stand, or I might sit on the floor
    Relaxed to the core, then let the rhyme just pour
    And I won’t bore with all details that occur
    When trying to record, a rap masterpiece so pure
    And oh sure, that wasn’t always case
    Perfection I chase and let greatness fall in place
    Y’all waste so much time thinking in small ways
    ALWAYS giving off bad vibes (crawl space!)
    Smile on my face, cuz I’m in a beautiful place
    Fragile, could break with just one brutal mistake
    Used to the weight, used to the time things take
    Tempt fate…cause right now things seem great
    Seems Great…Seems Great…Seems Great
    Things Seem Great…Seems Great
    Yeah, Things Seem Great…Seems Great
    Yeah, Things Seem Great…Seems Great…Seems Great
    Seems great…but you better look both ways
    Catch ya on the flip side, start a whole new phase
    Long days, short nights, don’t feel sun rays
    Need room to breathe, greener grass to graze
    The last to raise the fist is the first to fail
    Tooth and nail, almighty vs the frail
    If it hurts to tell the truth, then the truth has failed
    Use the state of the world as some proof as well
    Tip the scales, send the devils back to hell
    Then I’ll sip satan’s tears from the holy grail
    Hope it helps to hear that you’re NOT alone
    It’s the anger we share, from the pain we own
    But pain be gone, give happiness its due
    You have to choose, the power of the change is YOU
    Strange but true, we all seem to lose out the gate
    BUT WAIT…right now, things…seem great
    Seems Great…Things Seem Great…Seems Great
    Things Seem Great…Seems Great
    Things Seem Great…Seems Great
    Yeah, Things Seem Great…Seems Great
