You have 7 more seconds to
Decipher your life
Before my tongue becomes a
Blade & your brain gets sliced
I warned you before, i'm
Addicted to war
I was praying for armageddon
On the day i was born
Incite & ignite
Cried my muse
Elevating iq's as i enter
The room
It's elemental
Defying gravity with these
Lyrical miracles & street
Philosophies
It's the chosen child
Destroying idols like i'm gideon
Manipulating matter
Transfer data like a pentium
Processor, throw these
Rocks atcha
I be the queen weaving dreams
With supreme lectures
Infect ya, lyrically dissect ya
I got control of your soul
So no gods can protect ya
"you betcha!"
We can set ya free best
Believe that this
Tribe of mystery
Was born and bred to conceive
Brilliant galaxies of
Mind expanding poetry
Enemies know it's me, armed
With mental weaponry
Ain't no testin me, the tribe
Comes prepared to live
You're just a drone to the
Hive, ain't no way you'll survive
Ravage vanquish mangle destroy
Run for cover
Run for cover
No one gets out alive
Run for cover
Run for cover
No one gets out alive
Ripped at the seams
I destroy galaxies
Word becomes flesh
I bring nations to its knees
So feel the blast as this broadcasts
Out any doubt that real rhymes last
It's the voice of the apocalypse
The god of war
With osiris' esophagus
An omnivore
Take you higher than the
Krsna consciousness
From gotham to metropolis
The lesser gods eradicate the obvious
We fight for all of us so
Get off the ground
Weapon systems armed
It's about to go down
It's for the crown
Ravage vanquish mangle destroy
Run for cover
Run for cover
No one gets out alive
Run for cover
Run for cover
No one gets out alive
Craven!
There will be blood
On my fists
On your face
On the ground around us
This is pain
Have a taste
I'm addicted to the rush
Of bruises & bloodstains
Dark god in my veins
I will hate it all away
No, nothing will remain
The enemy is me!
You weak, ineffectual plebe!
Even jesus worships me
I bow down to none
Your little light is like a candle
Trying to outshine the sun
Run for cover
Run for cover
No one gets out alive
Inside my mind
Where heaven & hell collide
You won't survive
Suck!
& swallow your pride
Suck!
& swallow pride
No one gets out alive
The enemy is me
The enemy is me
