Blood on beats
|
|
Tears have been shed
|
Lives have been lost
|
Blood has been spilled
|
|
Blood on beats
|
|
Damn, look at em sittin there, cats missin their chance
|
Pissin their pants for opportunities and disappear into a bar stool
|
Pardon you for thinkin I forgot about
|
The way that children act when the stars come out
|
It would be too much like right for them to tune up their sight and then
|
Pursue something tight within, the blue ugly life they're in
|
Liked your grimace but I must admit it's been a while
|
Since my outer adult disciplined your inner child
|
I've taught you the limits now when I crack your slumber
|
I expect you to say, "Thank you sir, can I have another?"
|
Your chance to wonder is up holler enough talkin
|
So they won't be caught off guard when I'm knockin the dust off em
|
Plus tossin em in a moshpit, my village sacrifices virgin rappers
|
Who don't do the Rites of Passage
|
Curl em backwards till they faces touch they asses
|
Mail em off to Paraguay and don't insure the package
|
Burned your vermin asses, learned your nervous habits
|
In turn my current status lefts serpents swervin backwards
|
I rock parties where half the crowd is rappers
|
And analyze my diction as if their opinion matters
|
I splatter patterns of poetic eloquence
|
Mutterin bone shudderin utterin sins, they flutter and twitch
|
The ironic part of it is, I ain't tryin to scare these kids
|
Just tryin to connect them to the heritage
|
|
Beneath the outer layer the train is black
|
You just don't disrespect the people that lay the tracks
|
You love this human expression and they gave you that
|
And so the least y'all can do is try and pay em back
|
I said beneath the outer layer the train is black
|
You just don't disrespect the people that lay the tracks
|
You love this human expression and they gave you that
|
And so the least y'all can do is try and pay em back
|
|
You ain't the first, you will not be the last
|
Contribute
|
Do your shit, step the fuck off
|
You're not half as important as you think you are
