1.	My Thoughts 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Matching my Xanax with bomb weed Mixing my liquor with coffee May be taking a risk but regardless Feel like I found me some balance in all this Drug math that's what I call it Try to keep using my smarts when I party A manageable pace to not pass out A ginger ale so you don't vomit Lifes a puzzle but you can't solve it A piece will be missing like always Not even a corner but an odd one So you can see the whole picture But it's off one Might be on top of the roster and rockin Might be about to collapse of exhaustion Or simply dopesick strung out And nauseous Hugging the toilet Lacking endorphins The way I maintain my outlook Is important Applaud my own good moves And laugh at misfortune Some claim to be spending a fortune Like cash that could go to a mortgage On some never effective promotion Or on generic type beats that Are horseshit I'm honestly often impressed with the lyrics But people for real just don't hear them Cuz the production to samey Generic The substance gets faded and buried Not trying to be negative really Don't call this verse hate I am merely Telling my truth to who near me I'm told that my songs are too dreary Sorry but these are my thoughts I Just hop on the mic and start sharing Democrat Republican I do not like None of them One day I might run Myself For right now I'm back On drugs again I guess I shouldn't have Said that Now I'll never win an election Guess I'm sticking my own profession Till I'm retired or dead or Arrested The rest of my life I've invested Whether it's 60 years or It's next week And old man goin out resting Unless my lifestyle catch up And best me Might look different from Where you are sitting Maybe you're thinking I'm losing the picture But I myself think that it's awful befitting My content like continent Constantly shifting I could just rant about politics Endless Asking you honestly where All of it gets us Resorting to drowning my thoughts In some Guinness to Watch as America falls into Splinters Don't call the cops Don't want them to visit Can't call my boss There's none in existence Each of my tracks a Creative invention And I don't need cash To create an incentive Not craving attention Just making my vision Predetermined I made a decision Refrain from dismissing Stay on the mission To be Voltaire Slap that's My stated intention
2.	Glimpse Eternity 02:26	lyrics	buy track
Oh dang look at this No you can't make it up Everyday there's new shit It will never let up Thicken up your skin Cuz you have to be tough Passing obstacles tests Till you're practically nuts Acting strange yeah you're Actually sus So I'm asking with patience To pass me the blunt Me I feel fine I'm all happy and stuff Just gotta keep an eye out For sarsky and hutch Cuz they shoot steal run over Kidnap and jump Rob you of your son Then go out to lunch Don't call it a hunch It's the truth what I said Look as soon as we fight back They roll out the feds Supposed to be dark But it's so loud and red Voted for hope but Got sold out instead We got covid and death And war and distress How the fuck we get stuck Cleaning up the whole mess Getting tired of the news All the higher ups in suits These elected officials The shit that they do Let's look at all the rights That they grifted from you Like let's kill an Amendment or two Free speech thrown out and denied Right to bear arms Just applies if you're white And even then only if You're on their side If you try to see the light They will aim between your eyes Police never serve and protect They hurt and arrest Steal our taxes for checks Hate in their mind and ice In their chests And they work for the rest Of these pests don't forget There's no blue vs red It's not worst vs best that's An optical illusion like That white and gold dress Do you want a revolution Folks say I don't know I guess I wanted decent healthcare And water without lead
3.	Distant Vantage Point 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Out in outer space on Some unnamed planet Pupils all wide And my thoughts unmanaged Never know what time Or even day it is God damn it Beat stays jamming While my lungs take damage Watch the bag do magic tricks Like poof it up and vanished Lyrics come at random Hardly ever plan them Write them and recite them Whether not you understand them With my beats I'm lighting fires With my words I gas and fan them Awful controversial Often causing tantrums Always causing hurt to Politicians and their fandoms Don't stand for the anthem Won't stan those in mansions Ten thousand in the street With the signs and the chanting Defund we demand it but Do we see answers No we see on their knees The police chief pander Stupid to try to reform And revamp them They need to be cancelled Completely dismantled Flying through the clouds Past the stars and the moon Spend this dark afternoon Making marvelous tunes Take you to places Uncharted and new Doing more than you Possibly thought I could do Got a bag of what no telling I just come prepared a lot Starting to feel bothered let's Seek out a better spot Think I'm hearing cops This place getting hella hot Of course I'm ok to drive Right now Don't give it an extra thought Giving it all that I have Up on the freeway Hauling my ass Turning a sizeable stash To nothing but dust that Gets stuck to the bag Never did leave but I'm back Found the old me the trash Said what I need and made with The peace Now there is nothing left keeping Me back See I don't even know what My plan is Looking from way high up in my vantage A test of my faith But I have none More like a test of my Patience and passion Seeing me out of the house With my mask on But most of the time you won't see me I'm at home Getting high to my beats till My lines are so deep Get measured in leagues And in fathoms Losing my grip on reality now As I'm feeling the colors And seeing the sounds Don't know if I'm up Or only less down Closest to sober I get is strung out Life of the party Death of the author The words are important The retcon is also Expressing my speech Till I'm breathless exhausted There is no pausing Proceed with caution
4.	Demons 03:08	lyrics	buy track
Demons at the gate They're getting in They make themselves at home Much to my chagrin But still I win Just by being Here at the end My agenda could not be More simple Just making some beats With my friends Tell me my body's a temple Kinda like Zelda A boss at the end My brain is now all but just Melted If I wasn't so numb then I'd have felt it Mixing up drugs while I sip on a well drink I know I shouldn't but I think its helping I cannot help but grin when I tell it My name on the pen Voltaire Slapadelic Done Fucked Everything sucks But everyone already knows There's war and disease And the hills catch on fire But that's just the way that It goes Sometimes you yell and feel Down on yourself And say how could it get Any worse Could get killed by police Turned to a meme Before everyone gets Back to work Now I'm just some guy So I don't know why People don't often get What they earn While people in office And CEOs also Live lives they don't hardly Deserve It grosses me out and It honestly hurts Good thing I got all of this Quality herb So I can go fighting With the hands that I'm writing My name and this verse in the dirt
5.	Voltaire Was Right 02:40	lyrics	buy track
Feeling a little insane Out of control like Nicholas Cage Been sad before Feel stress all the time Gotta admit this isn't the same Killing myself is a process Takes a long time But I'm on it Think leaving Las Vegas I'm Drinking for breakfast The weed and the speed and The acid I take em Raising the heat I don't think I can Take it A hundred and twenty degrees and I'm naked Down on the floor not breathing I'm laying I'm seeing I'm breathing I'm thinking I made it At least for today though Depression so heavy Can't handle the payload Blood keeps on rushing Anxiety crushing Nearly too weak for the stress Good thing I get tree from The best Considering all things I'm blessed But the planets a fiery mess Not a guess That's the truth of it Our leaders just do Stupid shit So I'm a take These two cube hits And loosen up Some screws a bit Colors shapes Cartoonishness Eating more hallucinogens Wondering if I'll die by fire Covid or the policemen Pissy drunk tripping nuts Rolling face and smoking dank Totally in control right now Thing is I don't know the way Not once No not one time Has Voltaire made a track that Don't slap That won't fly Make you think Move your feet Or a least Grind your teeth Make you wanna Chuck a Molotov at People wearing sheets KKK proud boys MAGA and police Each one points the other ones And says yeah they're with me I say fuck them all in fact Let's throw them in the sea Better off without them Have a little bit more peace Don't condone violence But accept it as a means The needs of the people trump The comforts of elites Look at V Spit opinions on the beat You can call this verse a lecture I consider it a speech You can bob your whole head If you're really listening You can try to hate and stop me But just end up in defeat You can try and make a copy but then Everyone will see Because there can only be one V S with no reruns
