So don't pretend you gave…

You'll see the hatred like FEMA agents on your front lawn
So as the world…

And descend only to watch the end justify the means

…you're just starting, I understand how much power's in one man
When his life is in God's hands
And he's tired of the…
…that you are important
Hear the fire talking
Spoke of challenges that are in store
And I ask if I have the heart to bear the stuff I walk with, look
The spark is…

There's a war between us, believe me I'ma be the…

So one day he got off the bus
Went inside, and found his father in order to discuss the love and trust he felt…
…had grabbed hands, but he started to get his suspicions
"Dad this is Marcus, the guy I wanted to date"
But he stopped dead…
…how I was born dad
I didn't bring him here so we can feel your scorn dad"
He turned and he and Marcus went through the…

And one can always read the signs.
Their rebirth into our world is always coursed…

Lord, it seems to be invisible. All I can make out is... ripples.
Ripples in the Mesh.

Feels like i'm almost, it's coming close
f*ck am I gonna do?
It's too late for a new start
This is the only thing that I…

VERSE 01:
Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is
Find different ways to word the same, old sh*t
Ever since I was born
From the day the…

Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place…

Cuz the king of kings shall reign so rejoice and sing his name
Even if my back's against the wall, I stall or I fall…

Kill the real artist, ever since the Sugar Hill started
When Suga Ray was still…

…shit up in my crazy head
No it never mattered
And i'm on to all your deception
Follow my own direction, i could give a damn if the road is…
…but a life with no problems i wish it could all be so simple, So dismal...
You take everything for granted & your whole world crumbles...
I…
No it never mattered
Oh yea & im on to all your deception
Follow my own direction, i could give a damn if the road is lonely…

And if you smoke lah, we can spark
I still be with it if you let me hit in the…

Can we have sex on the swings?
Girl, time to let you know 8-Off got a good thing
Bottom line is you are the world
Never…

8-Off The Assassin will make it through the night so hold me tight
Tighter than [?] bear hug
I know sex is addicting like…

…can I say about this world today
Won't someone drop a bomb and just blow it away
Cuz every time I go out in the streets
I gotta…
…out there in the world
So and get yourself another fly girl
Don't lose hope and don't be a quitter
That will only make your life…
…run to find a brand new spark
To bring light to you when it seems to be dark
Cause it's time to recruit and give the others a boot
And the key to the room is the…

…to an empty bed, & not hear from you for months, (nahh)
I guess things don't really change, here we are from the jump
& you're still…
…calling me drunk begging for me to pick you up, (what the fuck...)
The pathetic thing is I would have done it too
Because deep…
…this emptiness I feel...
I swear in January I felt like I could take on the world
I had it all, good money, a vision, 'til my vision…

…to write down that hook that's been playing
Hopscotch in the corners of my mind
Wanna know if God's in the image of this child
And if God is afraid of the dark…
…and if not, why's he using stars at night for nightlights?
I peel the sky over and see the spark
Man, I've…
…been drawing places that existed
Before time had numbers
Wanna know where day dreamers go when the day is upon us
And the…

…how she's proud because I'm loving
But the past few years that's gone by I felt nothing
I'm repulsive. Convulse whenever I start…
…to ruminate
About the ruined state I've placed myself in
Get your rumors straight
Assume that for a second I can take back all the…
…and try and let go
"Son is so p*ssy. Why the f*cks' he so whiny?"
And the question that I ask is "why's my skin so shiny?"
That's…

…motherfuckers who think I fell off
I'm Flavor Flav nigga, I'm still the boss~!
Go, live, king, throw live
I live Uptown in the Bronx, gimme…

I'm back in control, gimme your soul
Check it out - make room for daddy! (What)
Before I have to get the belt (what…

So I can build me a psycho-loft
So I can go psycho with my Micro-soft
Flavor Windows is the new invention
Colorful windows to get the…
…fine, but that's just the way that it goes
Wish I could could convey it, but nobody knows
Cause I bring the heat, but my heart is still…
…feelings so that I can feel cool, but really deep inside, I don't know if I can make it to the better side of life
Even when I picture…

Before my eyes can see the light, will there be people waiting outside after I see the…
