ChRONOS as Radio Host:
“WOUB, you’re on the air!”
Tony Kush as KRS One:
“Greetings ladies and gentlemen. This is The Teacha. I’m giving y’all a call in right now to tell ya to recommend Alphab3tical Alch3mists. ChRONOS da ChRO and Tony Kush are true students of The Teacha. And if you’re in regards to love of Hip Hop and spreading the art, I’d recommend a good listen and try on Orion’s Utility Belt.”
ChRONOS as Radio Host:
“It’s the smooth listening sounds of WOUB. Your host - Dandelion King bringing you a new record here from the boys of the Garden State, Alphab3tical Alch3mists. Ay yo have you heard of them?”
ChRONOS as Other Radio personality:
“Yea, yea yea!”
ChRONOS as Radio Host:
“This is their 4th project called Orion’s Utility Belt. Record’s called Good Morning. You only heard it here first on WOUB with yo host Dandelion King.”
Verse 1 - Tony Kush:
"Today starts the week off strong
like the caffeine we’re on
Form foam clouds of CREAM
and a latte of that steam ain’t gone
paired with wide awake
at the door leave yawns
got all eyes peeked like it’s Folgers dawn
2 fingers on pulse
keeps this joint calm
words exchange smooth
apply lyrics lip balm
talking layers of synced songs
pick a pack hits, while they need tongs
forged own silver tongue cuz spoon withdrawn
they wanted gold
they wanted pawns
taking whole bean
getting ground raw
fruits of my labor grow tall
like Amon Ra
meeting up with Jah
dwelling among Egyptians, Ethiopians
Caribbean flavors last long
Kush/Chro alchemical equation
(Chorus) - Both:
[Good Morning to you - good morning to you - whatever you brew - good morning to you - yes
Good Morning to you - yes good morning to you
Whatever you brew - good morning to you] 2x
Verse 2 - ChRONOS:
“Que lo que! y buenos días (dimelo!)
starting the day right
gratitude and energia
sunlight I wanna feel ya
wake up to birds
alarm is the dawn
Vitamin D - pineal
Porcelain throne
TP - I reel
Sonic toothbrush, shiny teeth
Qi gong sounds - they heal
Simple routines for me move the needle fo’ real
(Aw he’s putting us on game!)
The morning moments - own them
conquering the day has met its omen
don’t be tone deaf
tappin into rhythms is the movement
even a stoned friend will say ya vibes off Ben (damn)
Betta get to smoking - or sage-ing
incense for cleansing yo environment - is amazing
how yo mood changes
what an improvement - what else you gon’ do then?
Get mad? - get sad? - get whack?
I gave you the map to get glad
I throw that pity shit right back
Pull a rabbit out a hat fo’ our next act
now how you gon’ handle that?
It was a test - make you reflect
trigger you at best
cuz anything messes with your head when coming out of rest
so take a sec to collect and elect yo’self
‘fore you become like The Pest
(Chorus) - Both:
[Good Morning to you - good morning to you - whatever you brew - good morning to you - yes
Good Morning to you - yes good morning to you
Whatever you brew - good morning to you] 2x
ChRONOS as Radio Host:
“Alphab3tical Alch3mists y’all. It’s yo host Dandelion King ONLY on WOUB”

Make my own instrumental with inner voices
Not mental, perceptual
Cranium symphony sectional
In concert hall remain respectful
Key player rational
Songs sanctuary
Harmony towers babel
Between temples babble
Lower temper gradual
Gravel, ready parade parable
Routes there are sharable
Solomon wisdoms transferable
Thought clouds are hearable
Melody check paid in full
Hold mic, cut bulls,
(Hook) - Tony Kush
Air Maxed out a facility where can get straight jacked
Heads get eggs cracked
Pan to brain smack
Beatings better land tracks
So dig on and face facts
(Ahha) conditions checked under contracts
(Chorus) - ChRONOS
They can’t control you
Attempt to own you
You’re not the old you (old you)
Data sold you
And no one told you
You’re not the code you (code you)
Verse 2 - ChRONOS:
Cut from a different pedigree
Quisqueya la bella - Caribe genes
Hustle by any means
I lemon squeeze
Aim to complete many feats
Stack that cheese
Leave a legacy
Imprint the world with my feet
Batman mentality
Use my fortune for city managin’
Line a canopy - with fruits and bud hangin’ from every tree
Sipping on liquid alchemy
On top balconies
Next to my Queen
Yea that’s what I see
Planting seeds in mah subconscious dreams
New routines create habits of kings
Garden green keep yo boy lookin’ clean
Got that Lions Mane in my match tea (hoo)
(Hook) - Tony Kush:
Air Maxed out a facility where can get straight jacked
Heads get eggs cracked
Pan to brain smack
Beatings better land tracks
So dig on and face facts
(Ah ha) conditions checked under contracts
(Make my - make my)
ChRONOS
(Tell ‘em how we)
Verse 3 - Tony Kush:
Over kookoos nest
Under neutral stress
Wear my suit to press
See some looks to test
Fill in welfare checks
Charge to change connects
Protect these necks
That contain the best
In my blood is zest
Kin inherent next
DNA, greatest intents
Best present passed
On to children from parents
Realest inheritance (Make my)
(Chorus) - ChRONOS
They can’t control you
Attempt to own you
You’re not the old you (old you)
Data sold you
And no one told you
You’re not the code you (code you)
They can’t control you
Attempt to own you
You’re not the old you (old you)
Data sold you
And no one told you
You’re not the code you (code you)

Tony Kush:
Aw I’m feelin pretty good today man
Man I’m feeling pretty good today bro!
Ahhh I think I better tell ‘em why!
Verse 1 - Tony Kush:
89 birthed
My certificate also gave me
Word gift and blueprint
To fight power with fuse kits
Such few get, hand lifts
Passed down ancestral fists
All Day I Demonstrate Applied Swifts
Flipped scripts, pick up sifts
quick like slip on kicks
When need to split
Or flow spit think Moses kid
Farewell Pharaohs bid
Bet on to sit, it is
Knowledge reigns supreme indefinite
Seats ajar, Tony Kush written on the lid
Such a strain he is and cause a strain he did
In da cranium
Sick, like
Osmosis Jones slapped by fresh prince
Better check my prints
Cuz they all over this
Considered another hit
And the marks getting lit
Bruising Egos before the Id
Man everything done blame it on da kid
And I’ll gladly do my bid
After all found a palace to legit
And feel safe to say I do indeed fit
Good thing it’s age appropriate
(Chorus) - Both:
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Have a cup of joy
Overboard with tea
House cover up’s free
Still your gift comes with a fee
God damn this party so taxing!
Verse 2 - ChRONOS:
I said - nine cipher birth
When leaves fall to Earth
Full moons and beer fest
Rise the tides - glasses high
Lion’s fur for shoulders
ChRO’s beak like Thoth
Slinging verbs on the record
Murder of crows
He holdin’ court like Cornell West
Dominican from the city
Born but not there bred
Leavened across the bridge - da Garden
More is said then not said
Gritty n falcon-headed
Ra Ra Ra Ra Ra - men
Itadakimatsu
Fuel me with noodles
Naruto dude I’ll out lap you
Take you to boom bap school
A hard knock n the door opens
Time to choose
Each chamber holds a different style of Wu
The alphabetical sifus
Verse 3 - ChRONOS:
European medics will leech you
What do they teach you
Two snakes and a rod - Hermes sign
How can the only 3 people
Left - get exiled to a city called Nod
I just shrug and nod
Apocryphal gospel - they rather not
N yet Olmecs had heads
Before any Romans existed
Imagine da phone booth in Bill & Ted
Stopped at the pyramids
Land of Kemet
Where da first talks of Djed
I mean Ted
Happened
What could they really have said?
(Chorus) - Both:
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Have a cup of joy
Overboard with tea
House cover up’s free
Still your gift comes with a fee
God damn this party so taxing!
ChRONOS as Radio Host:
WOUB you’re on the air!
Tony Kush as “RZA from the TV Show”
Yo, it’s me RZA from the TV show. Season 2 RZA. I just wanna say I love Alphab3tical Alch3mists. They’re the greatest. They should make a show about them and then we can see what they do with their voices. Ah ah ah. What do you think Real Life RZA?
(Chorus) - Both:
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Have a cup of joy
Overboard with tea
House cover up’s free
Still your gift comes with a fee
God damn this party so taxing!
Tony Kush as Real Life RZA:
Yeah, well, you see, if you look at it perpendicularly, uh, as I like to drink my glass of vinegar, I think that, uh, that Alphab3tical Alch3mists is something that’s really important. And um, I know I’m the man with the iron fists but these are the dudes with the silver tongues and they’re gonna do things that have never been done before and so I’m super proud of them. Super proud of them. Super proud of them

Always try to make amends
Hear you inner-stand you listen n try
Bridge - Tony Kush:
To put some heart to the art
Image is a different kind of pin up
Glow
So fine and sharp, rib?
No, Way more than apart
Try a whole world for a start
Reprise - ChRONOS:

Hola

Spent time with Euros
Y’all in my shadow

Darkness naturally follows
Got allies in Cabo
Don’t grow avocados (tell em’)
Verde
Greener than lottos
Yeah a whole lot though
Yamato
Trees are muy pronto
Me and vatos so locos known from Jersey in Colorado (Colorado!)
Japan bleached Sado to Chado
We aint that hollow
No domo origato
Sound more crispy than tacos
Raps burritos, oo frio
Biting our style
Taking some stock home
Wanting encore or bravo
Fever for the flavor
Gelato
Mulatto
Caribbean, Italiano

Manifest manifest (25x)
Power within manifest
Manifest manifest
Power within manifest
Verse 1 - Tony Kush:
Holy witness is
Riddled with revisions
Eternal editing
Well here’s the real edition
Soul mission is
Raise your own existence
If they don’t, explicit
All that matters is one who’s with it
No split decision or intermission
Tangled in submission
Korbra Kai comes in clutch
With Kaioken limits
Tournament of power
We hold those tickets
Super sayins glimmer
Exhibition exhibits
Up close gods appear slimmer
While our glow never dimmers
Planetary impacts are delivered
Death-ball
Make play
In less than 5 minutes
Green smoke, Namek nimbus
Killed track, forgive us
Still wishing
Hope all seven balls listen
Not to scale back and put drag on my vision
Got Tien eyes in prescription
But Lord Beerus existence
With a Zeno appearance
(Hook) - Both:
Manifest manifest (25x)
Power within manifest
Manifest manifest
Power within manifest
Verse 2 - ChRONOS:
(I wish)
Lucky number 7
Got my starred amulets n get manifestin’
Cast a circle of salt
North South East West
And of course
One for each element
Now we in the presence of ancestral brethren
Mental focus
Sittin’ cushions in lotus
Ain’t no hocus focus
Even science tried to poke a hole in
But take notice
My aura potent like
Broly’s waves pukin’ out my mouth spews golden
Codes spoken
Thoughts spells
Prayers all are tokens
Power within
Controls external ethers
I fold
Never
Reapin’ everything I sow like a consequential feature
Thanks to technique
I’m tryna teach ya
Speak up they don’t hear ya
Not sold?
Behold
To bring forth
You must decree it
Say it like you mean it
Believe it like you already feel it
You’ll know it when you see it
(Hook) - Both:
Manifest manifest (25x)

Verse 1 - Tony Kush:
Megalithic
Prolific
Mystic
Original Paleolithic
Anaglyphic
Natural not scientific
Never prescriptions
Only cannabis lifted, assisted
By comic book pictures
That describes all I’ve written
Stan Lee, Bill Finger, Jack Kirby, Dwayne McDuffie
Real tuff when TK mixing
Easter eggs everyday for the dipping
They out given
Samples
Minerals that gets one living
Leaving other livid
Karma doing what they didn’t or wouldn’t
To be specific
So I get wit it, get wit it
Truth flow soak in it
Whirlpool spinning
Tide whipping
Fabric get softer every visit
Remove veil
Never existed
Imbue these bars with scars n make stitches
Lee low with the ditches and rise up like britches
Fulfill wishes
2nd star to the right go right on in it
So off the hook know son winning
Tink tink tink tink tink tink
What was that?
I think I hear the bell ringing
(Chorus) - ChRONOS:
It might not orbit y’all
But prosperity in my gravity I call
The gods blessin’ me
My family n both my palms
Verse 2 - ChRONOS:
Serendipitous
I’ve been gifted this
Life
To live it up
So magnificent
Despite strife
Cuz when you maleficent
It makes you lose both eyes
Now listen
If you become consistent
It makes a difference
For anything you wanna come to fruition
Da speed of sound
Will always go da distance
Declare it instead of wish it
I am King.
I am Master of my mind.
I am God.
I am wise.
(Chorus) - ChRONOS:
It might not orbit y’all
But prosperity in my gravity I call
The gods blessin’ me
My family n both my palms
Outro
