[00:11.77]Eyes wide shut but they know
[00:13.94]Buried alive by the lies in their soul
[00:16.85]Their stride of a blind man's stroll
[00:19.59]Well for whom does the next bell toll
[00:22.53]I'm too many years in the zone
[00:24.71]Too many years to have built what I own
[00:27.36]And many dumb fool try to take what I've grown
[00:29.89]But these roots go deep and you can't blood a stone
[00:33.41]So if you want to push, I'm a shove
[00:35.53]If you want to spar we can do it no gloves
[00:38.21]And if you're gonna run at me you better do it hard
[00:40.71]Cuz I fear no fall, no brawl, no scars
[00:44.23]I'm too pounds shy of a bomb
[00:46.80]I'm one shade short of alarm
[00:49.56]I'm too past wrath that I'm calm
[00:52.17]Got two last laughs in my palms
[00:55.13]I'm three degrees west of a hurricane
[00:57.91]Four wheel drive with a ball 'n chain
[01:00.59]My five foot seven is irrelevant
[01:02.60]I'm six six six if you threaten my development
[01:05.51]Now see a wise man learns from your mistakes
[01:08.12]And lets the blunders of his brother serve to fill his plate
[01:10.78]So best be on your way before the tidal wave breaks
[01:13.38]Cuz you don't want to come to meet the Reaper that awaits
[01:27.15]You don't want to say no more than a mime, you can't afford
[01:29.79]And you don't want to let this turn into lines of mine and yours
[01:32.53]And you don't want to press your luck, better back up and withdraw
[01:35.11]Cuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n claw
[01:37.73]And you don't want to see inside the mind of a savage kind
[01:40.62]And you don't want that recognition of "oh, there goes that guy"
[01:43.29]But if you do decide that you are gonna play that hand and try
[01:45.94]Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind
[02:00.23]A man with a grudge and a case
[02:02.92]A man with intent on his face
[02:05.65]And if a man walks into place
[02:07.80]Let it be known I won't hesitate
[02:10.94]This a long time coming like a comet pass
[02:13.50]Got 'em all fired up from the rocket blast
[02:16.23]And if I fall on my sword turn my bones to ash
[02:18.86]Let it clog up the sand in that hourglass
[02:21.85]We in the title fight, blow for a blow
[02:24.20]And you can reap the benefits of what I have to sow
[02:26.70]Cuz I'm about that worth of which you don't appear to know
[02:29.47]So you can take the scene while I take over the show
[02:32.20]It's a long way down when your head is in the clouds
[02:37.55]And all around the sirens play
[02:41.07]Don't get in my way
[02:44.11]Don't tell me I should bow
[02:47.06]Cuz I'm no clown
[02:49.82]And this is not a game
[02:51.88]Don't get in my way
[02:54.01]You don't want to say no more than a mime, you can't afford
[02:56.72]And you don't want to let this turn into lines of mine and yours
[02:59.37]And you don't want to press your luck, better back up and withdraw
[03:01.98]Cuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n claw
[03:04.75]And you don't want to see inside the mind of a savage kind
[03:07.55]And you don't want that recognition of "oh, there goes that guy"
[03:10.21]But if you do decide that you are gonna play that hand and try
[03:12.73]Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind
[03:27.20]Poisoned by the snakes in the grass
[03:29.79]Hoaxed by the rats out the maze
[03:32.38]They should have never poked the lion as he pass
[03:35.19]Cuz now it's two hawks in a cage
[03:37.83]This a tale of a cautionary kind
[03:40.49]This a story of that Icarus design
[03:43.15]This a message from the hanged man's twine
[03:45.53]This when mother nature rips apart the fault lines
[03:48.18]And this the type of case that make a grown man cry
[03:50.93]When feeble of the spine crumble underneath the grind
[03:53.61]When blessings of the meek lead to lessons of the blind
[03:56.31]When Heaven shows its teeth and the planets are aligned
[03:59.51]So amusing the feeling as they race off
[04:02.13]Got 'em musing from the pressure as I chase off
[04:04.83]Should have thought it through before he turned to face off
[04:07.33]Now this fool sounding like he gone and turned his bass off
[04:10.36]This an ace caught, cut the game short
[04:12.72]You don't want to have an escalation of the maimed sort
[04:15.61]And you don't want to feel the flame that burns pride
[04:18.04]Now you know the reason why those sleeping dogs lie
[04:20.95]It's a long way down when your head is in the clouds
[04:26.15]And all around the sirens play
[04:29.56]Don't get in my way
[04:32.69]Don't tell me I should bow
[04:35.64]Cuz I'm no clown
[04:38.46]And this is not a game
[04:40.46]Don't get in my way
[04:42.63]You don't want to say no more than a mime, you can't afford
[04:45.16]And you don't want to let this turn into lines of mine and yours
[04:47.90]And you don't want to press your luck, better back up and withdraw
[04:50.66]Cuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n claw
[04:53.27]And you don't want to see inside the mind of a savage kind
[04:56.07]And you don't want that recognition of "oh, there goes that guy"
[04:58.74]But if you do decide that you are gonna play that hand and try
[05:01.45]Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind
[05:26.53]They sicker than a wicked man's whip
[05:28.66]Victims of they hype and of they sycophant's lip
[05:31.25]And underneath the money and the power is the tip
[05:33.93]Of something very dangerous and it's strengthening its grip
[05:36.61]And I don't have to tell 'em that they turning pale with albinism
[05:39.54]I am not their keepers but I keep my own morale
[05:42.17]And isn't everything we do just a matter of decision
[05:44.65]So if life is just a prison`· then I'm breaking out this minute
[05:47.48]This an epidemic of the vultures in the playpen
[05:50.44]Weasels with a smile and a guile that leaves 'em vacant
[05:53.07]Businessman sticking up the layman out the gate and
[05:55.79]Thieves wearing suits but they can never fool the vagrants
[05:58.50]And con man bringing 'em treasures of fool's gold
[06:01.20]CEO's grinning from swindling stocks cold CEO
[06:03.95]Politicians trading their morals for blindfolds
[06:06.67]And cowards step aside as the criminal mind holds
[06:09.41]Welcome to the jungle where deception is the code
[06:12.09]Brother fighting brother as their avarice corrode
[06:14.84]See that evil, speak that evil, be that evil bold
[06:17.53]You are not your own and love's a memory of old
[06:20.23]our nation under fraud - the anthem you applaud
[06:22.93]Well let this serve to warn, I won't enable or reward
[06:25.64]And let the flies swarm, let the noble die strong
[06:28.39]This is my scorn, new day, new dawn
