The intention of "Kaos Theory" was to show the youth of
today commonly referred to as "Generation X" through
detailed stories the consequences of the "fast life" and to let
them know that we got*s to change things and show
improve. The Millennium is nearing and I can't fight a battle
with blind soldiers armageddon is near! 


1. Rhyme-Run,Run,Run

Reason-I wrote run mainly to symbolize the thought process
of a confused, young, poverty stricken black male wanting to
make a better life for himself but going about it in a way that has
severe repercussion as many of today's young black males do. The
hook is the message i send to my listeners that no matter what
you do or where you go the outcome of your actions will always
come back to you.

2. Rhyme-Fantasia

Reason-Fantasia is nothing new to anyone who has ever had a
close male or female friend that they wanted to be more than just
friends with. Fantasia is a story of love, lust and betrayal that ends
in a suicide. I wrote this because I ( like many other people) was
fascinated by a female but found that a relationship is not always
the solution.

3. Rhyme-She's leaving with me

Reason-I wrote this song after listening to the late great
Notorious B.I.G. "Big Poppa" wanted to make a smooth kind
of upbeat dance song without being to "Pop". In the song i
describe an average night at the club with your usual beverages
and those familiar faces from the past.

4. Rhyme-How far will you go?

Reason-In writing this song i wanted to send a message to
those young and old who choose to chase that "Fast" lifestyle
that it's not worth it and the outcome can be very harmful. lnstead
of just coming out and preaching to them i told a story in which
the character in it pays the ultimate price for the lifestyle he .
chose. I felt that this would get through to the listeners better that
an old fashioned "don't do wrong" speech would.

5. Rhyme-Gunpoint

Reason-This is a direct insult and threat to all mc's who want
a challenge. I wrote t^s because m4he rap game if you don't
make it known that your not taking anything from anybody other
artists and critics will take shots at your credibility and worth as
an artist.

6. Rhyme-Wish you was here?

Reason-I had to write this song to express my sympathy and
show that i know what my peoples is feeling when they use a
loved one in the struggle between good and evil. I was inspired by
the death of a very close friend who did not die from doing the
wrong thing but died trying to make a better life for himself the
right way.

7. Rhyme-Too hot

Reason-I was inspired to write this song after listening to yet
another song from the late great Notorious B.I.G."Somebody's
Gotta Die". The story line of that song was so vivid it was as if you
were actually going through the situation. This is why i chose to
write this song and a majority of my other songs with so much
detail so that i too could captivate the audience as he did with a
story so surreal you have to remind yourself that you are
listening to a song and not living it.

8. Rhyme- All up in the game

Reason -This song was written to show the depth and
ambition of a young male to be financially stable and at the same
time confront the hunger within himself on a mental level. While
the featured guess speaks on the actions of a "wanna be
hardcore" rapper.

9. Rhyme –Everclear

Reason -Everclear is the story of what it took for me to get
where i am at and where i might be going. I wrote the chorus with
a message to those wanting to pursue a career in the hip-hop
industry telling them that there is a price to pay but if you go
about your business right all hard work will be rewarded.

10. Rhyme-Street Wars

Reason-If somebody crosses me or any of my peoples i strike
back a million times harder than the blow that was dealt me. It's
the law of the land. You harm me and mine than consider your
life a memory

11. Rhyme -Ga-mingh Technique

Reason -The Ga-mingh technique is a message to all young
women out there who take pride and pleasure in sleeping with
various partners and turning their backs on friends and common
sense. Basically I wrote it to let the females know that men are
not the ones who should be faulted every time for cheating. We all
have to take our share of the blame. I was inspired to write this
song after listening to Nas' "black girl lost".

12. Rhyme -The remedy

Reason-This song is the code of the streets. All I did was
bring it to a bigger stage using a story of revenge to entangle my
listeners and bind them to the song hoping to make known to the
world that this is why having heart means respect and respect
means royalty.

13. Rhyme-Kaos Theory

Reason -This was a look into the struggle inside the mind of a
young man trying to get a grip on reality or at least a shred of
sanity. wrote this because at times i have had thoughts of suicide
and questioned my own mental state as many others my age
struggling do.
