Intro: You know we do it like that Verse: Time-traveling most ghastly smoke passer hogging all the grass Home Grown Welles stoned off his ass Mahogany dash, prodigal bastard Pigs try denying me based off fathers cash, sir I work for my keep, used to just be a cashier Now I'm Nas tier, you cant find someone nastier Mass fear, hysteria, distastrous dystopia Copious loose ends, they try to pull you in, theyre roping ya If the war is tugging, too much friction to be frozen Sluggish movements lead to threats of government like snowed in(snowden) Orwells farm had snowball, and orson welles rode on rosebud So many coldhearted men forget to pause and show love Magnates live by mandates, those in mind they stand straight Just like politicians, but these men never outran fate In their final breath tend to remember simple times Empires may crumble, what remains within the lines? Anachronistic basilisk Im petrified to find Im running out of time, I might end up far behind/ Like Cronus himself, lost among the different eras Make a jackass of myself, like I'm Bam Margera Major moves, macrophage the way I clean the slate Mental cells, like isolation wards, my neurons race Dendrites branching like the roots of trees which bear forbidden fruit Hidden in the leaves of yggdrassil while singing hymns of truth From this form autonomous, I stay up like a monolith Shulk with the monado, Im the one but not monotonous Tons of tone, I'm rugged bones like thugs who live for harmony The hound named garmr guarding hell, Ill ward off with no armory More like he my pet, cant name no one better yet Cant name groups that outrank me and the egos in my head Rigorous work leads to regal futures, I can bet Even though I havent seen it, I know somethings at the end
2.	1001 Nights 02:33	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: Hanging with Najeeb in the medina, where the heat is Breaking fast like Eid, we feed our minds until were genius Genies grant three wishes, pondering how theyd be spent Squander it on riches, monolithic for the rent Confident in self, ease my conscious with a spell One more, want a partner to live through this hell Think I broke some rules of djinn, silence me like Coolidge Presidential features, got no fitra, seeming ghoulish Scheming how to rob a tomb, then badaboom, we do it Its done, from the novels to all my thoughts brewing Thieving like aladdin, ali baba, we congruent Melt the treasure trove, mix that golden with Fluent Alchemy or metal work, the way my text is rutilent Shining with a blazing force, amazing mortal, jubilant No feudalist but serving all the heat, still a villein Spilling lava flow, im like Jafar, my skill pillage Hook: Counting up 1001 nights I never slept 1001 masks, like I'm nyarlathotep Add one for myself just to set myself apart 1001 ways to love, crafted in the dark Verse 2: The stone of the philosophers I own, but in no pocket Youre a student to the universe, the mind unlocks a profit 1001 tales, we detail like an epic Scimitar criminal bars, Gilgamesh contestant Enkidu was killed and left the king with a query Same as de Leon, and they wont need apothecaries Ishtar set off dominos that led to his conclusions We control our death, but life is led by more than humans Fish for Tiamat, the sea, I fought like Marduk Ardor to defeat the opposition like a harpoon Arrow down the throat, like Ahab replicated after With a spear of ships, so Moby's gone near final chapter Gungnir of the water way it took down such a monster Lead into the breathing hot of chimera and fafnir Perseus killed Cetus, from the ocean, but I'm heated Floods of my emotions, I can beat but my hearts eaten Hook: Counting up 1001 nights I never slept 1001 masks, like I'm nyarlathotep Add one for myself just to set myself apart 1001 ways to love, crafted in the dark
3.	Leviathan 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Leviathan a devil but hes still the pet of God A crown prince of hell, just ignore the demagogue Acting like a demigod but truly sent to Nod Envious exhibits tend to cause an endless fog Lost in yomi with no yumi, moving with the squad Tied up like some bows, no speaker, just relentless thoughts Hatred for the darkness and the light which flickered out Promised an eternity, but left once figured out That inner demons surface to the skin, no brothers keeper A scornful wife like izanami turned into a reaper Yama's shinigami, but more like the predecessor Investing coins collected on my dresser to professors Spent a penny at the church to see the Pentecost Grime along the strings like violin or dental floss Puppets in the clergy, want your tithes as a repentance Take your money, time, and all confessions as redemption Pre-hook: Shining through the clouds, Crepuscular rays When the sun comes out, Halos radiate Refrain: Prince of hell, I'm a prince who fell Try to copy me, but the print'll fail Verse 2: Hint of ganja odor, a familiar aroma Motor cortex slowing, as I think my whole life over Homunculus were born from the minds of the alchemists The squared circle, look at death is change, count the elements Brimstone been known since days of Mojave Mind was always occupied, I need no other hobbies Music and the digital, combined with searching sigils Of sigmund and disciples, stayed awake through all the vigils Insomniac, had pills for that, but now I'm resting calmly Almost lost my brain like it was pulled out in embalming Wrapped in gauze, my mental flaws made me walk like a mummy So lethargic, nowadays I got the gin no rummy Scummy dumbass, running from the past into the current Slowing down each step as waves come crushing like a burden But my back so big, Im feeling like a giant snake Only difference is I never slither hiss or act fake Pre-hook: Shining through the clouds, Crepuscular rays When the sun comes out, Halos radiate Refrain: Prince of hell, I'm a prince who fell Try to copy me, but the print'll fail
4.	Elephant Man 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1: Walking while smoking, making contrails High as a freighter, coughing up my entrails Give me my flowers before I rest like Algernon Ganesha, a mammoth in this samsara marathon Thats a new life, from a mouse to a new realm 6 shown on the bhavacakra, aim past a true hell Naraka flames like Agni, Kravada to Jataveda Rebirth after pain, the flesh is conflagrated If I get conflated due to organons of devas To have grandeur delusions, need to state my purpose straight up I'm a poet whos found meaning skimming old tales Cold-hail minded, you cant buy this wholesale Most cant see the godliness like using ghost braille Im not tryna boast, but inner spirit wont fail Posted all innocuous, just smoking on gelato Memory of ivory, joe merrick fauna thats my motto Hook: Mind is so deformed,my brain is Elephant man Scared of mice and man, I'm dumbo, elephant man Lets address whats in the room, Whats relevant man? Relics which I relish dressed in sediment sand Lost within the desert like an elephant man Cost my life to get here, thats development man So long isolated,wasnt effortless,man Never question fate, the light like seraphim man Verse 2: Sephiroth caused suffering, set fire for Jenova Soft fur of safaris hiding hatred for Jehova Safety first, he played his earth, all Midgar used to love him Surt asserting flames, the way he burned away like summer Nibelheim in ruins, Cloud was frozen as a tundra Suddenly his mind was lost his heart turned to an umbra Walk across the bivrost to a new land made for aesir Or go back as someone else because he couldnt face fears Poisoned by an overdose of mako from the mantle Losing all his familys a thing he couldnt handle Work in spite of scandals with the avalanche vandals Just to kill the man who ruined everything, then trampled Entire towns to bits, counterfeit mind was for coping Made some friends along the way, couldnt smile, stopped moping If he really killed his darker counterpart like I did Then I must be protagonist of all my lifes writings Hook: Mind is so deformed,my brain is Elephant man Scared of mice and man, I'm dumbo, elephant man Lets address whats in the room, Whats relevant man? Relics which I relish dressed in sediment sand Lost within the desert like an elephant man Cost my life to get here, thats development man So long isolated,wasnt effortless,man Never question fate, the light like seraphim man
5.	Night Affairs 02:44	lyrics	buy track
Polarizing, we dont take directions from the cardinals Compass facing forward, I was forced to read the ordinals Bored of those, I'm sort of dope, I'm pouring soap in baths To clean away the dirt of yesterday with all my wrath Writing on my portable devices, from a cortex So absorbed in horrors of the past, trapped in a vortex Midnight I can't sleep, I just got the music running Red eyed from insomnia, I press the power button On my samsung, with long hair like Samson This was back in school, where I'm sometimes ran from Writing songs an adolescent had to show the darker side Where violence raged inside me until trials had me purified Now I'm back to grapple rap and prove that I'm a champion Been a long time since I had to take the ambiens Tournaments where I can treat trophies like theyre just ornaments Hornets nests I used to strike but now I see no point in it Hook: Somethings in the dark, lurking in the trees Better bring a light, need to brave it, never flee Sat along the tree for an hour tryna see What my mind amounted to and how controlless I could be Refrain: Night affairs, lighters sparked, fight your fears, torn apart Hook: I vowed to stay silent for a week and turned violent I felt like I got possessed, friends left, but I'm trying To be something more than mortal when I shouldn't, going bonkers Monasteries couldnt save me from my inner monster Knocked out all my chakras from alignment, growing helpless Dro and alcohol I loved but theyre just trojan horses Great at first appearance, but my mind had started freaking Shouldve talked to parents, was too stubborn for a deacon Chaplains at the hospital I said Id rather not Rather wait it out to get stash of gathered pot Like a leprechauns gold, rainbows emanating Every color, orange, green, and purple kush like raisins Dry it up with flicks, the fires lit, inhale slowly Its funny what relaxes me was that which first disposed me Guess I just got used to it, but now it feels herbal Helping me to stray from thoughts of hurt including verbal

Pennsylvania to California, nothing today can stop raw hiphop from being made. LLAMAMANTIS mixes the dusty, vintage sounds of the 20 year beatmaking vet, Fluent, covering the beats, and the interesting and provacative words of the 21 year old genius, Mantis, on the rhymes.

Fluent found Mantis via a "let's work!" message on Twitter and since the beginning it's seemed destined for these two to work together. This is the original co-creator of the Green Llama's first produced album for an emcee since The Money and His Fool by City Slick (producing longtime Llama bro, Decay the Llama at that time) in 2011. Fusing two worlds together is just the start of this duo's potential. Another Green Llama Classic! With much more to come...
