The less poised
Turn in the opposite direction
At the site of the Reploid
Of legend
I represent what X did
On top of mastering every weapon
I've had reps with
From the buster pistol
To the triple rod
Element switch like a catelprod
The maverick hunter
I awake from my slumber
To run up the number of bodies among us
Within the summer
What you write for cyborg?
A line is felt
Never miss a beat on a mission
Recorded through the Cyber Elf
Created by Dr. Wily
But I improved my design myself
The spirit of warrior
Living inside the shell
Boom
Noveliss and Mega Ran
Put the culture on our shoulders
Like
Spiked shoulder pads
We the Legion of Doom
Stomp through Neo Arcadia
With the Z-Saber
All you see is a flash of greenlight
Before you power down for life
Speed dash with the Z slash
Through an army of 5
Always on time
To save a life...
Ayo
X Marks the Spot got the target locked
Hold the cannon sideways some would say unorthodox
but tell me
What’s a pistol to a missile,
When my tissue so official
For shizzle keep it simple
Archaeologists won’t dig you
When I’m finished, hunting mavericks like I’m Mark Cuban,
Part Human, when I start shooting
you probably should start moving
Yeah,
X Hunter, I X-Busters, I’m,
Over dramatic like the Rock whenever he catch stunners
See you next summer, repliforce use excessive force
Another war, no idea who we reppin for,
Keep the weapons warm, Mega and Noveliss, warn the populous
X’s and Zeroes, might seem like opposites
But we ridin this, beat like, hover cycles
Made by T. light, stage complete my, only reply
Cause These guys, sting like chameleons, so resilient,
Wall jumping, getting the drop on cats and killing it
Only intention is bringing us harm
Want a verse, know we charge like this thing on my arm, yessir-
Don’t want it don’t start nothing
Ready for action then stop fronting
And press the start button

How many lives I got?
Side scrolling through these stages of life
I'm not invincible
I've played the game on difficult
Over compensate for my wounds
My style's elliptical
Failure teach the mightest lessons
Within the wreckage of minds
And broken spirits alike
Went from rising from Ashes to toasting glasses
In time
A Phoenix
I "Hope Summers"
Last long in Michigan
We need it
Winter side effects
Is depression by length of season
These wheels spinning constantly, probably the reason I run outta gas
following sounds I been traveling
unraveling thoughts
stuck in the void
but you could color me lost
Don't hear the noise
Def ears in the car
With beats playing
tryna find myself
I figure my failures cuz I designed myself
No imitation
A man of the planet
I feel anxious
When my surroundings lack changing
The innovative
Never stare at the loading screen in the matrix
(Hook)
How many?
How many lives I got left
I need some more change
to continue on where I left
Continue on...
Continue on...
Continue...
(Mega Ran)
Stay back, no GameFAQs, we done put the time in
make headlines like falling asleep in a wave cap
wake up like Zero to discover the world's gone insane
left and right through countless sequels, seems that it's all the same
Ran and Nov, experts at making your neck jerk
keep only the nicest within my Battle Network
Philly the Kid, Cannon Buster in a drag race
Never last place, lottery picks on draft day
Hunting mavericks, Washington Harbor to Akihabara
Rocking the armor cause I seen the trauma
Cover your paper, they all wanna copy the author
So grind, living as if I will not see tomorrow
Electric spark, every rhyme I write, keep you in my line of sight
Sitting back dipped in black something like I'm Michael Knight
I keep it mega, what you expect from a child of Light
what you expect from a child of Light
cutting like daggers, Mike Haggar.. final fight
(Hook)
How many?
How many lives I got left
I need some more change
to continue on where I left
Continue on...
Continue on...

They say it’s colder in the summer now
It’s getting warmer in the winter too
they say that Armageddon's coming now
And there ain’t no telling if it’s true
Dear Summer,
(Noveliss)
Dear summer,
Or whatever season these lyrics born in
Product of global warming and climate change
My minds astray
Leaves falling in Autumn winds
A flawless win
my time to blaze
The color change sets my soul on fire
While I ignite a page
Seeds in the soil
Don't spoil my mind
Telepathic Ichiban
Lend me your energon
For spiritual bomber rhymes
I move to my own patterns
I'm scattered brained
A trait of a genius...
Spilling coffee on his pages
Each evening
Believing in something you can't touch
But can feel it
Stay connected
My heart chakra might be the weapon needed for wreckage
I could use a upgrade
The ice chip
Regardless of the situation
My slice quick
With a slight drip
Understand providence prior to knowing what a prophet is
In the pursuit of knowledge and balance through my accomplishments
Meditation my only solace when
Utilizing bars to uplift my hands got calluses
I listen to Greta and almost can’t believe
How the world greatest thinkers, get outclassed by a teen
When I was her age, my concern was parties every week
But now is the day,
That we need leaders to step in and lead
When Autumn leaves start to fall,
it’s when I’ll miss you most of all
Been a king like Nat Cole, with rap flows,
But when the call,
Is rejected, you’re like Jonah, you might not feel it at all,
but your immediate surroundings start to crumble like the wall
Of Jericho, elevated Boston Crab,
We would often laugh
Now it’s just avoidance, like when black cats cross your paths
I recall the past, Mega Man 2, Faxanadu
Scribbling the codes on the inside of the manual
Now I pray that when it’s over God’ll be pleased
And say you best with the tools that I handed you
Protected the family too, no leaf shield
But when crumbles, just like Sigma, you know we re-build
choose your own adventure.
Whether pain or pleasure
But remember we can make it
We in this together
Sorta like Avengers
Through the fall and the winter
And the worst of weather
We are here forever
They say it’s colder in the summer now
It’s getting warmer in the winter too
they say that armageddons coming now
And there ain’t no telling if it’s true
Dear Summer, Dear Summer
We been here, waiting all year for ya
Tell us something
We just need to hear from ya

Reploids
Everywhere I go I see these reploids
All up on my head like Metroids
Tryna copy but doing it sloppy
Looking like we gotta catch another body
Its these Reploids
Everywhere I go I see these reploids
All up on my head like Metroids
Tryna copy but doing it sloppy
Looking like we gotta catch another body
Its these Reploids
Everywhere I go I see these reploids
All up on my head like Metroids
Tryna copy but doing it sloppy
Looking like we gotta catch another body
Its these Reploids
Everywhere I go I see these reploids
All up on my head like Metroids
Tryna copy but doing it sloppy
Looking like we gotta catch another body

The King makes his way to the ring
A Jaguar mask
The face of an animal
To cover the face of an animal
A robe that rivals the Nature Boy
King of the Iron fist tournament
STF work as the tourniquet
No blood circulate
Twisting tombstone
Knock a vertebrate outta' service then
Alert the nervous system
I drive you beneath the surface when
This DDT will flatten a crown
You false royalty
There's only one King
When I ascend this turnbuckle to touch the sky
Like Lupe
I promise
Dropping this elbow knowledge
Macho Mane
Impact Destroy your sternum
For the gold
High angle
German suplex
With the wrist control
Separate your physical body from your invisible soul
I'm invincible once I step through the ropes
Okada face dollars
Fall from my palace
Shower the Tokyo Dome
A wide angle camera shot
Moments before defeat
While I receive energy from the crowd
And use it to slay a beast
Transform then
A Rainmaker turn opponents to headless horseman
I don't feel complete without the gold on me proper
Carry the next generation
I got ya
Okada
(Hook)
Clash of the Titans
Okada vs Omega
A Rainmaker carries the storm
It never let up
The One winged angel
Can fly in any weather
(Mega Ran)
Catch us if you can
Terminator sent from the future, to bring a new dawn to man
And, senton you to a moonsault, with a perfect land
For the thousands in attendance and the millions on demand
The cleaner, not a moniker, but a demeanor,
Feeling cut up, looking leaner when I step into the arena
No umbrella but I plan to stop the rain and bring defeat home,
v-trigger crush ya cheekbone
You’re dethroned
Play the hard cam, execute like only god can,
till the nameplate on the title reads that I’m the champ
No pomp and circumstance when ever the threat advance,
we married in beef, so I just sever the olive branch
Tope suicida, land out in the crowd with the true believers
Talk a good one and you know I ain’t afraid to do it either
Bring your best and it’s not enough,
bank of Omega ain’t taking Okada bucks
Get your deposit up
No heroes or villains, cause that talk is antiquated
A match this anticipated
you gone wish you made it
Leg drop bulldog rearranging faces
Gimme all of the lights and the most epic of stages
Seven stars not Mario RPG
But an hour with me and most opponents
can hardly breathe
Fantastic shape
Be ready cause we moving a frantic pace
Best Bout machine
You can’t escape
No pressure
Omega..

One in a trillion
Phoenix Splash
For a half tank of gas
Smash ya ilium
Lend me your energy once
Who didn't believe in us
But First let me
Destroy social media
Before you beam me up
Tomorrow never promised
I build a bridge for my daughter and son
To make it to the other side with they Mom
My legacy will see fruits
Result of the labor
Til' we became
A laser focused
Anomaly of the prophecy
He who writes the mightest lines
Escapes the poverty
Inside of my mind
I won the lottery
What holds the most value?
Knowledge
The only weapon
That can manipulate reality
Anyway that you set it
Live in the present
keep the way that you think in tact
Still find a glimpse of the future
Before the fingers snap
Before I turn into dust
Destroy the internet
Put a legacy on the line
Don't let hard times divide us
Our rising
Is what defines us
If you saw the size of the blessing that’s coming
You’d understand the magnitude of the stress that you under
So keep on....
You’re allowed to scream, you’re allowed to cry
But don’t you ever believe you won’t make it by
So keep on
So keep on
Bridge
Happiness can only be found in the darkest times,
The best view only comes after the hardest climb...
If you tryna raise the bar then remain On the grind
Then remember god is good, god is good all the time
Mega Ran
A hot dog and handshake in exchange for a fan base
6 cats in a van traversing the landscape
My money ain’t touching and agreeing
And -really it’s a struggle every weekend
a tough position to be in,
Looking Like I’m Swimming and got it under control while I’m really slowly drowning on the deep end
Meanwhile friends seeing, me up on IG,
Look like I’m on a vacay they think I fly free
But a picture only shows what I want to be exposed
The highlight reel, cause I crop out all the lows
Nobody watches sports center for the layups
And Everybody say they loved you while on the way up,
If you don’t wanna be worker than you gotta boss up,
But you probably the last one who know you washed up
Man growth is painful - and change is too
But you got to be aware of what you change into

Regardless of my programming
My memory chip defective
I got a mind of my own
My reputation
Upholds
A soldier of fortune alone
But never work for a fortune alone
The less fortunate
Always in the thoughts of the legend
I do what I can as soon as I choose a weapon
I measure
the distance between myself and maverick
The shield boomerang deflecting every shot from a blaster
Who lost hope?
I find it within a poem
The writer living inside of the quiet one in the zone
I travel until I'm home
Wherever I lay the Z Saber
Or Until Neo Arcadia
He grew up a gamer
They still Trying to figure out which Arcade he from
Marvel vs Capcom II
That's how they raised him up
A quiet creator
No writing?
I'd never say enough
The introverted
Load the disc and go on Excursion
The soundtrack to my life
I'm living inside a console
Life's a game
Only 1 life remains
Never move on without a memory card
Adventure vs Memory Loss
repeat
(Mega Ran)
seen so many things i wish i could hit erase on
sequel after sequel my purpose starting to take form
bombs made of napalm, get my battle and chase on
All these ups and downs its starting to resemble a waveform
Chain Rod, seven directions, saved by several blessings,
now I'm off to another dimension
Foes think they can Copy X
that way of thinking is outdated just like some Floppy Disks
bring the flavor to Neo Arcadia like a condiments
stopping this, no chance in H-E-double hockey sticks
forged in arcades in the 80s when i was a child
barrel rolls in after burner, before fox mccloud
now i body it like i'm infused with head and body chips
fate of the world in my palms, no time for sloppiness
Street fighter tourneys every morning on the ave
Got next, put a quarter on the cab,
no memory card
Chorus 2x

I know who I am but sometimes I’m not really sure
On one hand I do the most yet I wish that could do more
I ain’t where I was before,
I ain’t where I wanna be
I wish I could be the person that you see when you see me
I used to draw, truthfully I was kinda nice at it
I would make transformers and anime characters and
run my momma ragged like,
I need a sketchbook, strathmore, with 100 sheets
colored pencils, I made a stunning peace at least every couple weeks
But I kept it secret, Cause my homie Al used to draw too,
6’7, living legend never had a lesson, plus he could ball too
I felt inferior- so my pad never left my interior,
work my posterior off
But knew deep inside
that my skill, it would never get near to him, so
One day I got exposed,
I took my drawings to school
I thought I would look like a fool
But everyone said they were cool
It Felt great having an audience
But that didn’t help me through all of it
You can have everyone all convinced
And yet still feel fraudulent
That Imposter syndrome
And When you got my skin tone
Depression make its inroads-
North of 30 and it hits home
I’m an unfinished work and I know that to be true spit
I make movements not excuses
Everydays a chance for improvement, yeah
I know who I am but sometimes I’m not really sure
On one hand I do the most yet I wish that could do more
I ain’t where I was before,
I ain’t where I wanna be
I wish I could be the person that you see when you see me
(Noveliss)
A remix of human being
Who Dreamed of doing too many things
But why not?
I figured I'd to do them all unless time stops
I grew up in the gym and the driveway
A scholarship was light work
But started to lose interest when I figured out how my mind worked
Didn't to try to share my taste in anime with my teammates
Then Starting writing poetry
Ask around
They'd never know it's me
The Imposter syndrome
An otaku lost in the locker room
Nobody sat next to me on the busses
My solitude
Every road game in college was writing rhymes
My solace
I've seen the world
But my hunger for more
Remains out of balance
I be pleading with myself to act natural when I get off the stages
But instead I curl up and get flustered too many faces
You'd never know
A product of growing up finding comfort in being alone
But what I apply to my craft from sports is knowing how to be in the zone
Cursed by my perception
Inception
I swear it felt like a good year
Depression in the physical's a smile
From ear to ear
But never veer
Still here...

In the Megaman videogame universe, The Maverick Hunters are an organization founded by Dr. Cain, dedicated to protecting humans and the world at large from Maverick attacks. Through years of games and sequels, the Maverick Hunters remain dedicated to their mission of making the world a better place. The two most notable members are X, created by Dr. Light; and Zero, successor of Bass and the greatest creation of Dr. Wily.
Much like X and Zero, after sharing stages in the US and Japan, Otaku emcees Noveliss (of the group Clear Soul Forces) and Mega Ran have joined forces over a mutual love of hip-hop and video games to present the album "Maverick Hunters."
The two tell stories of our changing world ("Dear Summer"), not-so-distant memories ("Memory Card") and even pro -wrestling ("Clash Of The Titans") over classic beats by mainstay producers Hir-O Beats, Yon Li and DJ DN3.
The Bandcamp release features a bonus track: "When It's Over" produced by Young RJ of Slum Village, and featuring RoQy TyRaiD.
Much like the heroes the album is named after, the album has arrived to bring about a positive change in a sea of uncertainty. Our two heroes are dedicated to the cause, which should be apparent in every lyric and beat. The era of the Maverick Hunters is upon us.
