1.Forward
2.The Guidelines
Let's begin
Asalaam alaikum, people of good will
I offer you the greeting of thought manifested skill
To finally reveal the open-end chapter
As real as the flesh that you're embodied in
To the skull cavity your mind is rotting in, i'll be riding in
And there might have been a slight, rotation warp to curve
The course of course i'm cordial when i'm reportin
I won't distort, i don't contort
Connect conduct collect console or conceal
In full control of the roll of the wheel
My eyes are my appliance to decipher the science
Omitting defiance with the high-tech mic check
The buttons that flashed i pushed for absolute
Destruction your structure is lifted from the ground
The foundation mound is broke, so you float around
I'm embedded in what is known as beat
Let it be shown, every enzyme is complete
In time, you'll see the pace of the pulse pump
Rapidly, heart rate, happily marched
I happen to be the dark man who holds the charts
I arch my horizontal line to make a rainbow
.. but it ain't the same though, yo
The tried and true pros are chasing fool's gold
Sliding through holes, like small rodents
It's obviously, evident my embellishment
Peaks at two-ninety-two i.q.
Cause big ace is the spinner, in the, center
Inventor, and i plan to be a winner meaning
I'll be in inner outer ovaries, overload, overboard
Overseas hearin oversees more, than the eye can
I stand, limited primative, sentimentalist, escapist
The way i shape this landscape, automatically makes this, vivid
I give it a rivet, hold it, stand at the pivot
I love it, learn to live it, then give you my exhibit
Not inhibited, not even a little bit, when i'm inclined
My attempts to redefine your hip-hop guidelines
And you can play the sidelines, ride rhymes in your spare time
My attempts to redefine your hip-hop guideline
You can play the sideline, ride rhymes in your spare time
Cause i'd rather stimulate your mind than emulate your purpose
And we have only touched on the surface of the serpent
Consider me part of the dust, in the dusk
I must collect the samples from the rust
Penetrate the crust then trust no living
Driven by the sonic, language passion
Your ashes spark the flashes, of the neon
From be-yond, what kind of planet could i be on？
I don't know, but i'ma be on, for eons, and eons
While many think that they can never play out
Get trapped in a timeframe, and never find their way out
I stay off the dramatization, and i balance
Always seeking the challenge, to show the world
The incredible talents, i cut the corners, smooth out the
surfaces
Worthlessness is just, half of the problem
I read the greek kid, i did every column
I note the animal kingdom, and the phylum
Whylum style em, until they get to hit the target
I mark it on the bullseye, of flies
And the buffalo wing in the sky
My architectnique sparks the dark streets of your resting ground
I suggest that you warn your town
I inhabit the oxygen, mark off the memory
You will never forget to remember the lone wolverine
Marine biologist machine with the verbal
Internal mind fertile, foot, over hurdle
Tight, like godel, and my word'll be the last
I incubate, every other millineuim
I fast and i hibernate, to pass any of em
I am potent, untraceable
No color no odor no taste no replaceable parts
No heart, no head just a carcas
The darkest days come, right before the light
I watch my watch and stand right before the mic
By the powers, vested in me, i digested mc's
Food for thought, caught on to the end of the rope and swung
Then stood stiff, as if, i was on a cliff
Not beneath sticks, my feet are made of bricks
When i walk my footprints end in cement
I am not practical, nor am i unusual
Nor am i oblivious to, hideous crimes
Every city is captured and trapped in my mind
Given the spinal tap, as the final rap climbs
My attempts to redefine your hip-hop guidelines
You can play the sidelines, ride rhymes in your spare time
My attempts to redefine your hip-hop guidelines
You can play the sidelines, ride rhymes in your spare time
Cause i have become the night owl on the prowl
Master of the freebin pile style
Cause i'm, om-nipotent
I'm, some, government experiment that is out of control
I'm from some big black hole
I square up, select, and rec'd, every tangle
I flare up, and you can try, any angle
Even bermuda, but i bury the barracuda
Then i'm, octa-gone in the wind with the pollen

4.The Balance
Intro：
Mr. mix mr. dj play that beat.
Won't you play if for me. in the mix mister hop
Forward hop back. hop, hop hop.
Verse 1：
The second somebody dies somebody else is born
People are celebrating while other people mourn
Home may be home to you but to me it's foreign
Even the matador don't pull the bull by the horns
One man's enemy is another man's friend
One man's poisons is another man's medicine
So let us stand, let us sit and let us view
The changing of the guard oh it's so hard to keep it true
It's the balance of the scales it can't be challenged or
expelled
Soon as somebody lost somebody else prevails
Some someone is quiet at the same time someone yells
Half full or half empty water in the well
It's the half and half hypothesis the 50／50 theory
Eerie as it may seem check your balance beam
It's the half and half hypothesis the 50／50 theory
Eerie as it may seem check your balance beam
Now check your balance beamer with a feather and a rock
Wheath or not you find the answer is really not the plot
See it's like love and hate (love...and hate)
The same emotion different weight
People love to hate so i know you know just how this all relates
It's the posa and the nega tive
Mini and mega live
Arm a leg a leg an arm headed by a nigga
Like big and small
Short and tall
Night and day and so on
Some people are bashfull
Some people just love to get their flow on (they flow on)
So here goes one to grow on
I'm a go on and on and on till the principles are laid out
The scales of justice weighed out
Till your memory starts to fade out and your game of life is
played out
Got to balance out the power don't we？
Balance your emotions
Push and pull positions like the moon pulls on the ocean
Balance on one foot that's equilibrium
Opposites attract and retract that's a fact
I'm a libra y'all!
180 degrees but not that hot
So whether or not you find the answer is really not the plot
(really not the
Plot)
Because giving is recieving (and) and seeing is believing (and)
And the solar system rotes so harmonious and even
It's perfectly balanced
Verse 2：
Some people say life is about taking chances choices and
decisions
Voices and opinions, politics and religion
Clues the past and cash and keys to the future
It's a possibility and probability on who's gonna execute yo ass
Some slow and analytical
Some quick fast on the dash
Like heads or tails but the head usually leads the tail
So i tell my tales from the head
Cause they're embedded inside my cells
Real quick let me tell you about a fact i know things will even
out
You can disbelieve or doubt or even shout or leave it in your
mouth
Cause how you gone reason wit grand mother nature
Running mother earth controlled by father time who's the chaser
It's living and dying homey
Laughing and crying dude
Trying or lying my brother
Walking or flying fool
Now half of you are gone find the time to shine
The other half gone find crime, money weed wine
Till it's to late in a disillusion state of mind
I just found my peace of mind
Now they want a piece of mine
To late in a disillusion of mind
The orthodox is the unorthodox they just got you on the names
The insane and the sane are the same
It's a damn shame so many people's aim is so lame
And their gain is so minimal
Caught up in the subliminal
It's pleasure and pain, water for the flames, the wild and the
tame
The style still remains if you use the right side of your brain
Instead of going against the grain
You can penetrate the vein to the point where what remains is a
stain
Of this universal thang
That we call balance balance..
5.The Energy
Gather around, gather around
We are about to spark this potential energy
And we gonna channel it to one source
Because the energy can, and will be dictated
In any direction, in any situation
Any which way any one shall choose
Right now since i'm the center of this energy
I choose to make it positive energy
And as for the negative energy
I'm gonna overpower the negative energy
Because i know it's out there and it's like a disease
And see, once my light magnifies, the disease dies
Ya understand once my light magnifies the disease dies
The energy
Yeah, disease can't fight oxygen and light
I box em in so tight, nowhere they gon' go
And jiggawatts is low, they won't know what hit em
I warn em, then i let the energy submit em
Police yourself, increase your wealth
So you can live longer and stronger, for real doe
I don't know what you subject to
But i suppose it, ain't a bed of roses
And neither is mine, so let the energy combine
There's strength in numbers, there's no need to wonder
Or slumber, or blunder
From the land down under the pipe storms drain
Wouldn't hurt so good but it's, not pain
I mean it hurts so good but it's, not pain
I said it hurts so good but it's, not pain
Just the electric charge comin from the mainframe
And my main aim to dig through the dirt, stay alert
Insert the power cord so my energy will work
Pure energy spurts, sporadic, automatic
Mathematic melodramatic -- acrobatic
Diplomatic, charisssssmatic
Even my static, asiatic
Microphone fanatic 'alone
Blown in, in the whirlwind
Eye of the storm, make the energy transform
And convert, introvert turn extrovert
Assert myself to eliminate the hurt
6.The Hurt
Hook：(x2)
The more i look around the more it hurts
My livelihook is poisoned my works
Fall on deaf ears a messenger bringer
With a foreign face and
Tongue and
Slightly
Twisted view of this time and space
Space cadet ace
Reporting from base
The water hasn't a taste
The time and the place
The paper, the chase the race
Again
Verse 1：
Manifestation, reva-lation-lution
Retro-bution solution
My people are poor community war
What's the rivalry for？
The poor can't afford
Self genocide
Help 'em aside
He's on your side of the fight
Yep, but unfortunatley
Unproportionately out of order
We have kaos
Kaos to order they're closing the border
It's a flip of the quarter
For the players, existing in this game
I'm sensing a change
That all will come to pass
Then a movement of the mass
But who am i to tell on who will prevail
And who's fail and who in the hell
Are you going to tell？
You're new to the trail
Your doomed to sail
Away
Keep watching your backs
And cover your tracks
Get up on the facts and relax
And as the dust settles another one bites
He fights but he lost his life device
He's iced my advice
Don't play unless you plan to pay the price
Hook
The more i look around the more it hurts (x5)
I quiety go berserk when i work
Hoping to find that part of my mind
That's mostly confine and blind
Yes pure and refined
Untampered with time
Subliminal sublime
The criminal's crime
I reach and climb
I keep it refined i speak and i grind
Away
Keep watching your back and cover your tracks
Get up on the facts and relax
And as the dust settles another one bites
He fights but he lost his life device
He's iced my advice
Don't play unless you plan to pay the price
Hook
We all hurt sometimes. don't we？
We all get hurt sometimes. don't we？
We all laugh sometimes. don't we？
We often pass the time. don't we？
We all get mad sometimes. don't we？
We all can flash at times. can't we？
Have some piece of mind？
Don't we need to seize the time？ don't we？
Life is fucked up
But it can be
Some people just lucked up
Because they can see
The shit is chaotic in disguise
Guns and narcotics for or demise
And don't forget the lies
They pump you with
I rise to the occasion without a scratch or abrasion
Just a hop, skip, and jump
Away from a rock hit and a drunk
No loitering here
Aye y'all can't hang out after dark here
Excuse me sir but you can't park here!
I mean tell your dogs that they can't bark here
I mean the world is moving baby
But you gotta just hold on
But sometimes you can't just hold on
You gotta just let it go
Let, let, let, let, let it go
7.The Hold
Intro：
Can't hold on.
Hook：
Hold on is what they say
But i say open up your hands and let it fly away
Until the day it comes back and it was meant to be
Take a look at the lovely gift the world has sent to me
Don't suffer you got to maintain
The rougher the storm gets the more they complain
They don't aim
They shoot sporadaically
Panicky and so dramatically
He ran frantically
Summarized by the look in his eyes
He couldn't hold on after one too many tries
Verse 1：
He held on tight
He put his arm around it and he squeezed with all his might
Don't fight
You should let it go
And sooner than you think it will be right back at your door
Open it up if your open up to learn
Got your head between your legs hoping it returns
They're not concerned
They're so continuous
No matter what my opinion is it's all strenuous
Summarized by the look in his eyes
He couldn't hold on after one too many tries
She held on tighter
She put her arms around it because she knew it would excite her
Don't fight her
You should let it go
And sooner than you think it will be back at your door
Open it up if you're open up to learn
Got your head between your legs hoping it returns
They're not concerned they're so continuous
No matter what my opinion is it's all strenuous
Summarize because she was not wise
She couldn't hold on after one too many tries
Hook
Verse 2：
They hold on tight
They put their arms around it and they squeezed with all their
might
Don't fight
You should let it go
And sooner than you think it will be right back at your door
Open it up if you're open up to learn
Got your head between your legs hoping it returns
They're not concerned they're so continuous
No matter what my opinion is it's all strenuous
Summarized by the look in their eyes
They couldn't hold on after one too many tries
8.The Walls And The Windows
Chorus
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a wise man tells no lies
The walls have ears, the windows have eyes
And a dead man tells no lies
Repeat
No lies, no lies, no lies
And a dead man tells no lies
If these walls could talk
They would tell you things you wouldn't believe
These windows have seen sights you couldn't imagine
And it can't be erased by windex or a coat of paint
Chorus
Surprise!!!
For each and every wall that ever stood it has a story
Some are not so obvious and some are self-explantory
It's padded wall in my laboratory
They're lookin through the keyhole of you dormitory
Meanwhile, up in my observatory, my telescope sees the glory
And it also sees the horror and the gory they speak derogatory
These walls in this hotel room
Tell more tales about fat tales and head
It was heard but never said, instead the walls bleed
Yeah, while they bleeding
You could hear the couples cheating, undercover meetings
Behind these seedy motel walls best believe they had it all
Wreaking balls don't bounce against the wall
To make that building fall
The walls outside my apartment complex
Building projects are so complex
Yet they are taken all out of text
Like the wall of berlin, the wall of 'nam, the wall of china
And my tag on the wall as a reminder
Chorus
Now of course the eyes are the true windows to the soul
As well as the window to the world's soul
Whether plain glass or stained glass
Every set of eyes has a set of windows with a set of eyes
Now tell me what the world would be
If we did not have windows (we did not have windows)
You would hardly ever catch the criminal or see the swindle
Everyone inside would need a／c when they assemble
A private penitentiary at home is what it might resemble
See my window-pane got so much pain
The glass is busting out the frame
So let the candle kindle in the window as a symbol
I be leavin' my window open hoping that i might get a breeze
But when the wind comes in the eyes
Come in and eyes don't seem to want to leave
Because spying eyes by eyeing the prize
And eyeing on your movement
You can change your wall and windows
With some building home improvement
But looky looos they still be trying
You look inside your window
The walls will hear it ever single time you voice crescendos
It's enough to make you tremble, leave you in limbo
Can it also be simple？
Because these are fundamentals
For the mental so don't get sentimental
Because these are not your windows
These wall are really rentals
They know everything your into
And all the business that you tend to
So keep your windows rolled up
And don't hold up the wall against the floor
And while you're window shopping
Don't bother stopping at my store
I put a note in the window, but you couldn't read what is said
So i took a rock and carved it in the glass and it read：
Chorus
Repeat
9.The Jabberwocky
10.The Grandfather Clock
Excuse me, does anyone have the time？
No!!!
If you knew what makes me tick
It'll probably make you sick
Lay my days of my life in front of you
And i'll let you take your pick
Come on
Pull back the curtain but make sure that you are certain
That it will be worth the energy that you end up exerting
Now walk past the doorway step in the foyer
Don't you bother knocking
I'm a grandfather clockin' everything you do
I'm seeing through you faultiness
So sprinkle me but not with saltiness
The ghetto taught me this
I fought for this, i fight for this, i spend my life for this
And if you put your brain to work it ain't hard to decipher this
Counting down the days boy closer to your doom
Time keeper for the reaper, the family heirloom
Like staring at my grandfather clock inside my room
It'll never miss a tick-tock, it strikes everyday a noon
Every hour on the hour, it'll sing a tune
Every half hour ot'll croon and yell out at the moon
You can't escape the master time, no one is immune
The hands of time will grab you when the moments opportune
No one is immune
When the moments opportune
Carved from a tree trunk bark
What a wonderful work of art
Well i usually wear my sundial
But it don't work when it's dark
(don't work when it's dark)
No electric parts spark as mechanical as he is
He'll kindly say just wind me and then show me where the key is
Then i go about my day and i flow about the way
He never has nothing to say, he just sits there on display
I seen one in the cafe, one inside the cabaret
Timekeeper for the reaper, what a pretty price to pay
Chorus
So don't you bother knockin' at, i'm a grandfather clokin'
Everything you do, i'm seeing through your masquerade
At midnight you will hear the serenade and don't you be afraid
It's like clock work orange lemonade with the bottomless glass
When it's time for that ass!!
Tick-tock
My grandfather clock goes
Tick-tock 3x
The pendulum is swinging and it just don't ever stop
Tick-tock
My grandfather clock goes
Tick-tock 2x
My grandfather clock
I used to have this coo-coo clock
That would bother my grandfather clock
Never gave it no rest so i flew over the top of the nest
And then at my request i ask him to resign
He was never on time, one hour behind
At ten, he stuck at nine
But he did not fuck with mine cause i murdered that machine
If you ever beat the clock you know exactly what i mean
(exactly what i mean)
I hold my grandfather clock in high esteem
My alarm clock screams cause he knows how long it takes me
But my grandfather clock leans over and he shakes me
And they both race against time to see who will be
The first to wake me
But when i became awoke my alarm clock was broke
And my grandfather clock was staring right down my throat
And he leaned a little bit closer and he told and i quote：
'if you ever race against me, you will surely come up short,'
He said, 'i'm better than your timex, your rolex or your swatch
Your fossil, casio, quartz, your diamond studded watch,'
He said, 'i control how long you stay alive
I'ma tap you on you shoulder at eleven fifty-five'
When the time arrives and then and only then
You'll have your five minutes of funk
I said my final salutations as i stepped amongst the monks
Then he took me exactly where i stodd like he should
And i tried to reason with him and i tried knocking on wood
But he said
Chorus
11.The Reason
Music please...
Yeah
You want to know the reason
You want to know the reason
The reason is we gotta have those guidelines
I'ma break the guidelines
I'ma move the barriers
I'ma cross over the barricade
And we gotta have balance
The reason is balance
The reason is everything gotta be weighed out and smoothed out
And be in perfect harmony wit' each other
You know want i'm saying
The energy gotta be there
You know what i'm saying
The reason is the hurt
The reason is the hold
The walls, the windows, they got eyes, they got ears
The jabberwocky, the test of the manhood
We got the grandfather clock
We gotta have time
We gotta have the reason
We gotta know the march
We gotta know about the faces, face the faces
We gotta have the hunt, the hunter has to die, the hunted has to
die
So we have the thief in the night
We gotta have the thief
The reason is the thief
The reason is it's all human language
It's all human language
It's for you, it's for him, it's for her, it's for all of us
It's human language
That's the reason
You wanna know the reason
That's the reason
12.The March
I was born..
I was born..
I was born..
I was born in a concrete jungle
And i learned to make my own way (learned to make my own way)
I was raised by streets and the beats
And the books and crooks of l.a.
I was taken by the power of the word
And i had a whole lot to say (had a whole lot to say)
And i vowed, always to move the crowd
And leave em in disarray
Cause i live by the word and i die by the sword
These here are strange days and we here are strong
We live by the sword and we die by the slug
This here is war and this here is love
Soldiers are marching in
And they're going to battle again
Somebody's going to win
And somebody will lose -- and that's the truth!
Gotta learn to fight for yours
Livin in this life of yours
See they can't stifle yours
If you refuse to abused, fools listen to this news
I don't beg, steal or borrow
I don't expect to see tomorrow
I don't usually soak in sorrow
Cause i keep all eyes on the sparrow
Cause we live by the word and we die by the sword
These here are strange days and we here are strong
We live by the sword and we die by the slug
This here is war and this here is love
Soldiers are marching in
And they going to battle again
Somebody's going to win
And somebody will lose -- and that's the real!
Gotta learn to fight for yours
Livin in this life of yours
See they can't stifle yours
If you refuse to abused, fools listen to this news
Uh-huh, fools listen to this news
Whashup, crews listen to this news
Oh yeah, you listen to this news
Listen, listen, listen, to this news
13.The Vision
Today
Sunday
On the nineteenth day of october at one a.m.
Nineteen ninety seven
I had a vision
No, well not exactly like a vision
No but like a sight
Well not exactly like a sight but more like a dream
Yeah like a daydream
Like two scenes short of a nightmare
Except i wasn't scared
Looking at the lines of these mean mugs
Extremely super beamed up drugged
Induced with extra juice in their jugs
Try'na hold a tight hug
To tonight's pocket rocket
With a flicker of a spark in their eye socket plugs
My shoulders shrugged as to the meaning of this encounter
Trying to find something to read into
What's this going to lead into？
A lesson or just another brother confessing？
Either way he's expressing mind
But i was pressing for time
Now show me some type of sign that your words are divine
But he just stood there
Speechless
Choked up
His talk box all broke up
With no real use of his god giving any more just living
I watch 'em all walk into the flames
When they could walk into the vastness of their brains
14.The Faces
Right there...cool
Come here
Let me holler at you face to face
See ace been place to place
I seen a million of em
They look at me for a split second
Then they grin, never to be seen again
But it's locked in, so i can read every line
Its written all over your upside down mind
With an upside down smile
Whoops upside your head, well hey now
I never forget a face, especially your's
Because the mirror is the only dimension without flaws
I look out till again
And then begin to look out for the faces of men
Cause i done been face to face with a serpent
Demon is the same think it is when it aint
White like snow or black like coal
Yellow like the moon and red(read) like a book
To live or die is the plot but the face is the hook
So meet the face from left field
3 eyes two ears one nose and a grill, but still remain faceless
Oh ya
(chorus)
Let me holler at you face to face
See ace been place to place
I seen plenty of em
But don't let the face fool ya
There's so many of em, but still remain faceless
Let me holler at you face to face
See ace been place to place
I seen plenty of em
But don't let the face fool ya
There's so many of em, but still remain faceless
So can i take a poloroid？ -say cheese-
Of the face that got you employed -please-
Same face your momma enjoyed as a boy
Will be the same face that will get you destroyed
Now you got to face the facts, face the music
You cannot about face it and turn back when you abuse it
So wisdoms use it wise, bat thoses eyes, show them teeth
Lick them lips even powder them cheeks
So while your passin', im askin' myself
I wonder if she knows what i'm looking at
Well look at that, a face that got me looking back
I can see the history in your bone structer
I can see the misery in your frown
So smile now and cry later
Or just walk around with the face of a clown and still remain
faceless
I said smile now and cry later
Or just walk around with the face of a clown and still remain
faceless
Let me holler at you face to face
See ace been place to place
I seen plenty of em
But don't let the face fool ya
There's so many of em, but still remain faceless
Let me holler at you face to face
See ace been place to place
I seen plenty of em
But don't let the face fool ya
There's so many of em, but still remain faceless
Do you know how far a face can take you？
It can make you or break you, or inflate you
They're either going to love you or hate you
Or never notice you if you're a face they don't relate to
You fear my face, don't wanna get near my face
You get judged by your mug, they didn't hear your case
Now face the wall -face the wall!-
Your face is against the law
You look at me i look at y'all
I recelect everything i saw in the face of the prowl
But im just another face in the crowd -just another face in the
crowd-
To figure that at face value is not allowed
Tell it to my face, and tell it to me now
Tryin' to mad dog, but you got the face of a puppy dog
Like a puppet, just like a baby doll
Ain't that right baby face？ cutie pie？
Good lookin'？ twinkle in your daddies eye？
And then scarface replied i was born with a face i can't hide
-a face i can't hide- a face full of pride
A face that's been denide on sight
I reconize the face but the name slips by
But still your not faceless
Yo
15.The Hunt Prelude
16.The Hunt
The hunter and the hunted
They hunt for you they hunt for me
The hunter and the hunted
They hunt for you they hunt for me
The hunter and the hunted
They hunt for her they hunt for him
The hunter and the hunted
They hunt for us they hunt for them
Whenever i'm awake i look, out
Never know when i'll get took, out
The hunter likes to sneak behind, you
Waiting just to undermind, you
Any chance he'll get he'll blind, you
Anywhere you go he'll find, you
There really is no other op-tion
Caught up in the new contrap-tion
To get away is the objec-tion
He smells the scent of your attrac-tion
The predatore will get the prey
Pray for your life that you get away
Weigh out the pros and then the cons
Confusion will just lead you on to the slaughter, by the hunter
The hunter and the hunted
They hunt for food they hunt for fun
The hunter and the hunted
They hunt to see the hunted run
The hunter and the hunted
They hunt the strong they hunt the weak
The hunter and the hunted
A friendly game of hide and seek
The hunt is better than the kill, real
Close your eyes and try to feel, the steal
Cold metal to your grill, kneel
Wish it was a sleeping pill, peel
His wig and watch watch his blood spill, dead
The hunt is better than the kill, they said
The hunt is better than the kill, they said
The hunt is better than the kill,
The hunt us the thrill and the kill is just the reward for the
chase
You never get to see his face, you race
You get away but you leave a trace, a clue
The fox is smarter than the hound, true
That's exactly why they hunt him down, caught
You hear his little heart pound, fear
Murder on the battle ground, dead
The head hunter takes the head
Yeah he was meant to die before he fled, ha ha ha
A good hunter don't hunt for the kill
A good hunter hunts for the hunt
Now that's a perfect hit right there
That's a perfect shot
That's a clean kill right to the heart, see that
The runner running from the gunner
The gunner's gonna, wanna
Kill him when he see em
Done away with
Almost captured one of these days i will master the get away
Got away clean i mean
There's not a way out
I mean, no means, no hide aways, no routes
What's this about the hunt
What's this about the hunter
What's this about the hunted
Now some will hunt to stay alive, and survive
Others hunt to kill a tribe, and divide
You can be on either side, of course
Extinction in the hunters eye, no remorse
17.The Catch
18.The Thief In The Night
As i awaken
Born from the slums and taken
Through the ritual, childhood, puberty, adulthood, maturity
And mastery of me
And my surroundings counting down the days till i'm exposed,
'i hear it move swiftly' underneath the nose
Till one day you're face to face you're gonna cross the line
You're lost for time
Life lose diminished
Heart beat finished replenish
Now you can be one with the light
But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night
Hook：
So hollow the ground and don't put up a fight
Cause when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night
Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right
But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night
For real we take 'em away
They take 'em away
We take 'em away
They take 'em away
We take 'em away
Verse 2：
I hear the sound of the rain trickling down my window pane
It stains the seal to let me know life is real
Sustain and build and and maintain a force field
I use it in a time of need when it's hazzardest
As it is said
Be defensive at all time for instance
As soon as i'm elevated out of existence
I am no more
I can soar
Right on the back of an eagle
Or look eye to eye with a beetle
But now i am engaged
In none other than the physical form in which i'm caged
Such lawlessness involved in this charade
Tainted face painted black
'is that the end momma？ can't i come back？'
No your train stops here
Right where the rain drops appear
Next stop inbetween the ears
Objection to make you cirular
Work you just enough so you can work yourself
Hook
Verse 3：
Overly anxious can't just wait
To see when death is gonna pull you to your fate
It's inevitable there's no escape
There's no mistake
Every time a life is given it's another one you have to take
Then your electricity and and your energy's released
Born into another soul after your physical's deceased
May you forever rest in peace
Although your current is concurrent there is no deturrent
You will cease to be no more
The war has been won
The warrior is rested and your duty here is done
Just when you think you're having fun
It'll snatch you up and run
For a second you appreciate the sun
For a half a second you appreciate the stars
For a half a second you reflect on who you are
And what you where
And in a flash it's all a blur
Hook
Outro：
Ladies and gentlemen today's subject is death
The way i look at it it's three basic elements right？
Die, dying, dead right？ die, dying, dead. death becomes you says
the crow to
The cheetah because you're an old cat. see you seem a little
under the
Weather, while me, my wings are as strong as ever, he says.
'well that may be so' the cheetah says to the crow, but you know
where to
Find me, because everybody gets their time card pulled. you'll
just be a few
More steps behind me, and behind you may i remind you so is
everything that's
True and living, that's life driven is given a final shock boy.
frankly
Speaking, everything in here is on the clock boy. every atom,
organism,
Insect, animal, man is gonna die, dying, dead. 'death becomes
you,' says the
Armadillo to the crow, 'oh you oh you are gonna die.'
