No Seat Belt

This is the epilogue to "Mark Of The Beast"

Track 13

Now that it's digested

Lay me down to sleep

I woke up rested

Took a deep breath and blew the sickness out of my chest

Healed myself

And stack the deck before I get dealt

Live off the government

Strapped in tight for mental health

Freed up my schedule when I put the pedal to the metal

Cruised the mall like Elwood Blues

With no seat belt

Fueled by the fear of insecurity

Narcissism reigns supreme in our society

Get money

Evolve slowly one-by-one

Sweet equilibrium is reached

When release what we achieve

Oh, the irony

Struggle at every level

To control the forces

That cause us to conform

And divorce our psychosis

So who's ready?

Nobody

We don't want to die

And if we do, we want to live on in other peoples' minds

Frozen in time

Trying run a circle on a timeline

And when you reach the top your definition is redefined

So keep trying

Til I engineer a pig to fly

And we can all saddle up and ride

Touch the sky

I'm just a regular guy who's tapped in to something else

Like you, alive

In the fight to preserve myself

Even if I gotta kill everybody else

In a death-cult suicide

I survive

[Off Topic]

If I face duality in my reality

I foresee a long list of casualties

At my feet

Got the power of persuasion

In the strength of my speech

Download the bandwagon

And I'll take you down with me

Grammatical, mathematical, tight precision

If my calculations prove correct

I'm in prison

And the faster they try to run from me

I keep with them

Nobody's out of my reach

I will get them

And I'm more powerful dead

Immortal symbolism

They're not equipped to handle my shit

They're off rhythm

And the bad vibes resonate deep into the system

When they finally catch on nobody's even going to miss them

Now, how many names do you know from a thousand years ago

That didn't lead a million people to war?

Or, stumble onto something so deep

They were killed for their beliefs?

I'm doing both, so may I rest in peace

And at my funeral play back the "Prodigal" beat

With freestyles courtesy of Rhyme Network emcees

Let Snake Money eulogize me on Technics

[Off Topic]

Focus and discipline

Make us more than men

Perfect specimens

Homo sapiens

Always unlearning

They find me concerning

So my records are burning

So many heads are turning

Trying to decode my sermon

But it's on you

Who murdered JFK?

Look at the burning Pentagon pictures

Where was the plane?

Iraq and Vietnam war, one and the same

While the South was left to drown in a series of hurricanes

I spell doom

They're getting sloppy and cocky

I can smell the change coming

Like I sense the man that shot me

And they can't stop me

It's already too late

I got a plan stronger than fear

Stronger than hate

Get at them on a level they can't contemplate

In the fifth dimension

With my general Phase Fate

My troops sing a requiem mass at day break

To announce the next age as we pass through the gates
