[Narrative Track]

In the story, both the good and bad side paradigms fall asleep at the end of their respective tracks (8 and 9). This track is a dream that the character has while asleep.

The idea is that the is standing in a bare room, with nothing more than a single light, a table, a chair, a pen, and pad. In this room he see's himself walk in from the other side, and sit down at the table. (Think the ghost of christmas past stories, where the character see's themselves, but is purely a by stander; cannot be seen or heard). He see's himself pick up the pen and begin sketching on the pad.

He realizes that after drawing out 6 squares, that he is drawing a comic strip. The 1st , looks to be a city skyline. When he begins to draw the second, the ink from his pen comes to life, and he see's the sketch come to life. In it he see's 4 characters all performing stick ups around the city, wearing masks. 3 of the characters are in an alliance. The 4th, the villain, is on his own, doing as much work as the 3 still.

As he finishes drawing the 2nd frame, it slows to a still, and he see's himself slowly move to begin drawing the third. Before he touches his pen to the pad again, (watching himself) he tries to understand what is happening. As he begins to draw the third comic, the same thing happens. This time, he see's the 3 aligned characters plotting to jack someone in a lexus. While they are focused on the lexus, the villain character is getting into position in the shadows. When the 3 initiate an attack on the lexus, the villain fires to mask the sound, and takes out one of the 3 others in the gun blaze.

The 3rd scene comes to a still, and he tries to further understand how this is happening. He starts to think maybe the pen and/or pad are magic or something, but realizes that of the six comic strips, 3 are now complete. He looks on to see how this comic plays out.

As he see's himself begin to draw the 4th frame, he notices it is the same scene as before, but the difference is it is after the attack has died down and the gun fire ceased. The 2 remaining squad members realized something happened. Their target is deceased, but so is one of their own. They spot the villain lurking in the shadows, and turn to fire on him realizing they are being pursued. The villain fires and knocks the squad count down to 1.

As the 4th scene comes to a still, he is still trying to figure out just what is going on with the comics coming to life, but starts to notice qualities in the villain, and the squad. All the while, trying to understand why nothing he says seems to be heard by himself sitting at the table.

As the 5th scene is being drawn, he see's villain is chasing the last remaining squad member. He gets a little careless and almost falls when the last squad member sets up a trap, blowing up a car as he is in pursuit. His mask sustains burns in the explosion, and when the smoke clears, he see's that he is the villain.

As the 5th scene has a quick pause, he tries to make sense as to why he is watching himself draw a comic strip in which he is one of the characters. Once he resumes drawing the scene, he see's that the villain (himself), is still coping with the effects from the explosion. The last squad member takes the opportunity to try and finish him off, all the while, unaware that the villain is setting him up. As the squad member tries to elaborately finish the villain off, the villain takes the opportunity to strike quickly. Finishing off the entire squad, and taking the money obtained from the lexus earlier in the 3rd scene.

As he watches himself start to draw the 6th, he notices that it is not animated. While he awaits to see what it will be, he starts trying to think of what he saw, and make sense of it all. It all begins to makes sense when he realizes the 6th and final scene is simply the silhouette of a lone wolf.

lyrics

Scene 1: Dream begins, first scene is drawn

He finally asleep, visions capture these words
although he dreaming, the scene and meaning in fact converge
combined, these paths emerge, this figure in a room
he see its him all alone, a pen is all that loom
he sit up in a chair, scribbles out a figured square
shifts his image, due to glare, and split the view so six it share
(then) finish drawing a scene picture this, a city scape,
str8 outta a magazine

Scene 2: He see's himself start to draw the second scene, which comes to life

the next, aint so serene, he seen, some bammas creep low
masked, so aint no face show, cold-graced by great snow
choppers in they hand movin up in the city a type of
stick up committee fakin jaxx, they ain witty
but slow behind, is drawn a masked villian totin a gat
and a mac, 11 chillin, in the dead of night spillin blood
willin for the millions, cause, there ain no feelin
as real as him takin, killin, peelin caps, to him its thrillin

Scene 2 Analysis: As the second scene comes to a still, he tries to figure out wtf is going on

(then) he move to draw the next lookin on, he cant get past the fact that he perplexed,
for life awakened his sketch, he witnessed criminal means (and)
its central to the plot in the view of the grand scheme
where money makin, and cream, supreme, cause both regimes,
teams, dream of that cash paper but one be fakin,
the other bombin like al queda the latter's styles greater
plus he on the solo mission dolo since hova mentioned
them lines his lines about his nas intensions

Scene 3: The next scene happns, both squads are going for the same target

He continue drawin the next and see a lex
driver hexed already puffin on cigarettes
them fakin niggas got tecs, masks, creepin in the dark
little they know the villian nigga sneakin like a shark
to him the shit is art chess, stalkin his prey
he do it every single day end up blastin away
with his chopper, that ak an acg scope
soon as a shot pop off the first fakin nigga get smoked

Scene 3 Analysis: As the 3rd scene comes to a still, he tries to figure out what is going on still

as we pause, he analyze still in awe, the situation right before his eyes
how is his pen comprised, charcters come to life puttin ink to his pad
makes him eager, this procedure of leisure, whose tone bad
but really he zone past examines these roamed paths
and breaks it down cause when u factor it all it becomes math
he started drawin out six, and finally down three,
his cycle and time key in this progressive rhyme spree

Scene 4: The next scene happens, one of the squad members falls, the others see they are being followed.

he, continues drawing the fourth frame the lex with that hex,
driver sittin with no brains, a fakin nigga short,
in the ground over dope change, his mans sheddin tears
in the rain cause they man slain, this villian nigga,
lest we forget, still lookin on, (as) them fakin niggas start to realize,
something went wrong, they spot the villians figure 40-so yds away,
his mask, skull and dreads, like the town, clear as day
So they spray, with they tec nines intent to wet spines vexed,
but they set prime to fall, at night time blind to the fact
they aint on the attack the villian nigga fire once, lay one flat on they back

Scene 4 Analysis: As the 4th scene comes to a close, he starts noticing things about the character's qualities

he try to react, attempts to spark up a jack, but he reach up in his pocket
see he got him a sack twist and blows it all back
calms his nerves, so he smacked cause its obsurd,
no uttered words disturb him drawing the act
and all around him is black except the middle of the room
watchin his figure loom drawin fakin niggas dooms
whom greed and envy consume like philosophies of Hume,
empirically, these goons qualitatively groomed

Scene 5:

now as he move to draw the fifth sees the last of them fake niggas, toolie at his hip
the loot up in his bag took it outta that lex, remember back a couple scenes,
nigga in it was exed now he runnin paranoid adrenaline's like his roid,
but this villian is on him like gps from off a droid
though he gettin annoyed, and feelin toyed from the chase
slippin, the fakin nigga blow a car in front of his face

Scene 5 Analysis: He tries to make sense of why he's the lone character that's been stalking the squad

This an intresting turn this villian figure now we learn suffered a minor burn
to his mask which he had worn, torn, parts of it displaced watchin, lookin on,
he finally see the villians face, and brace, for he the ace
with widened eyes, surprised by the size of this disguise
what it all symbolize he begins to theorize or rather,
at least he tries trynna fathom the grand scheme
or what it can mean in the span of this mans dream

Scene 5 Continued: As the 5th scene continues, the loner takes out the last squad member, grabs the loot, and walks off

still we in the fifth frame the scene before was retained
the villian figure still the same, grimacing from the pain
the fakin nigga take advantage and aim from the damage,
he feel disdain for this savage remain, he sees him as a ball and chain,
until one of them fall, his train of thought, let him believe he got him against a wall
but see its simple, yet subtle this fakin nigga in for trouble the villian
ain new to struggle (and) his slip up made him humble
he takes a second, mumbles, something under his breath
the fakin nigga unaware he about to meet death
the villian quick, and in the blink of an eye
he pull a gat from out his sleeve and let his hollow tips fly
(grabbin the loot as he die)

Scene 6: He tries to make an understanding of it all, and as this happens, he see's himself finish drawing the final scene, a lone wolf

He wonders why The figure uttered no cry But tries,
to pass it by as if he living a lie
still he unsure what it mean, The two regimes in the scenes
who schemed for paper and cream, Seem to relate in this dream
But then he think a lil harder, Figure(s) what its about,
The loner villian nigga, Handle his alone without doubt
Which meant he built to handle pressure No heat he feelin from stressors
While them fakin niggas lesser He picked em part like he lector
A cannibal in this sector Traits, of a preditor
This metaphor was tempered for
He watch his figure more Drawing the last frame
At last came the brash aim Like the end of a book,
he look And see the silouette of a lone wolf
