…upset, boy this battle gon' be an upset
Before you flew to the Lou' I briefed my crew like don't touch Rex
But they said, "Fuck…
…and more
When I get the clicking more til my wrist is sore
You hit the floor with every ligament tore
You ain't ever seen no shit like…
…to knock your roof off (Rudolph)
I couldn't fly to St. Louis cause I ain't wanna leave my vest and my 3 gats
But they respect me in the…

…My whole family and anyone that I could've enlisted
My soldiers, my loyal assistant and even the Mystic
They had covered every base…
…first time I felt hopeless, done and defeated
I was fatigued and worn down but still I was living
But the next day would the day that my…
…antidote right next to it
There were two men stationed on the outside pacing
Put my face up to the door…

…lives next door
She likes to come by and have sex on the floor
She makes lemonade that she sets on the porch
She cheats on her man…
…a rubber, I used my socks
There's a find thing named Morgan
A Gothic freak who plays the organ
Black fingernails, black clothes…
…was fat like me
The only way to find out: straddle me
Sent a bitch back home happily
Met a fine hottie, they called her Kat
She made my…

…they was just dreaming
Keeping that shit tight
Every weekend speaking on this motherfucking mic
I keep that shit tight, locked like a door knob
Emcees…
…and fathoming
No imagination and I grab reputation
On the microphone
I grab the microphone and they be pacing slow
Breaking those…
Guaranteed to never be losing a motherfucking battle
Emcees should
Go get a saddle and ride off try to get with the team
Gotta realize that my…

It's always the same
I'm still here waiting
Praying for you to finally come my way
It's been so long
Since I've seen your face…
…mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listin to the fireplace roar
So…
…look delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - your lips…
…kicked
Damn it Norbes! Sometimes I think you out your fuckin mind
I mean how you set a battle up where the fans throw more punches…
…a different way. But the shit's the same
Shank to his head, that's a good idea: Let's pick his brains!
I'ma do him dirty. Pause. Get your mind…
…alone with
Tryna feed people with a closed fist and channeling my anger when I wrote this
They ask me the same fuckin question every…

…enjoyed the race
III. WAR INSIDE MY HEAD - [lyrics by Mike Portnoy] [02:08]
Napalm showers
Showed the cowards
We weren't…
…with each word I say
Waging a war inside my head
IV. THE TEST THAT STUMPED THEM ALL - [lyrics by Mike Portnoy] [05:03]
Standing in the…
…stage
Intro tape begins to roll
Igniting sonic rage
Still they keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find in me
The answers to the…

…was climbing to get to and turned all my focus on making this music
But it was the hardest transition I ever had faced
Losing my mind over all of my hate…
…to send
And now that I'm vigorously on the prow
For using my lyrics to find my own sound
I ain't about trying to get my own crown…
…hands trying to pray
Cause every morning I wake to the light of my doubt and my fear always blocking the way
And I would be pacing and the…

…it
Bars across the window destroy human being
Static mind solidifies
Can no longer flow
Up against it's borders…
…and unable to pay much
Attention to human being...
When in doubt you turn to find a scapegoat on the wall
Gaze into the mirror begging pardon…
…in a box
Barred in from the sunlight getting pale
And losing every sense of human being....
The forces of oppression
Forge links around the…

…house was swingin
I couldn't fake it, barely made it to the door
I hit a corner, claimed my spot on the floor
Suddenly I smelled perfume…
…that was lit
Opened my eyes, and I had to take a hit
Knock-knock-knock on the door, somebody's trippin
It was my girl, E said (Hit the…

Bangin on my door all night
Moms was goin off

Listen, I stand victorious
Make the sign of the cross
Look I'm here to be the voice for every…

Let me pray as I put together my hands
I've never been ashamed to tell you the person I am
When…

I feel like I've had enough but my body is screaming ''MORE''

Meet me in the alley ill be gouging out your eyeball
I'm very merry while I carry every note
But you'll find…

While your locking up my arsenal, you couldn't rap a parcel. Your a harsh-farce marshmallow with the arsehole

…[Verse: Khai Dreams]
I only think about it in the night time
Always in the night time
Up too late lying on the floor
Thinking…
I've been here for so long
Just a little too long
Think i need to get out of the door
But I've never been a brave one
Always…

And I don't know
What I've been waiting for
It feels like I'm always losing my way
I'm doubting every step I take
I know…
