"It's like what..Like that.." [Raze] Ayo the galaxy is happily watching me flip These fallacies attacking me, get me on to some sh** Another level, my mental elevates through the clip It's a central meditate save what sanity's left But get this I'm trapped in this pit, keep slashing they wrist Cuz the pain rides so high til they drown in abyss That's why I'm found with these spliffs, inhale deep down with the hit I'm surrounded by trip, politician ?? Crack open my dome, think you found a gold mine Secret agents in the matrix tap your home phone line I got my own mind to finish the journey where I begin to know why Must release of the burdens within While we burning in sin they want their fangs in my jugular I'm turning in my bed, they sleep well while they f** ya It s**s the ghetto kids turn hustlers, take the same route Mothers praying that they babies get to live they days out Took the wrong path, street wrath how to blow they brains out Rain down, let the pain out I feel some bombarded, black clouds with they game on point I'm the target, what they started is a war they can't finish Stuck in a world of monsters, gods, facades and sinners But the charm is within us to wipe that grimace claim Stocking weapons up for armor, getting man vs machine They want my hand scanned over screens, implanted I.D.'s I'll be snatched before the rapture, it's God's plan that I leave Beyond ?? emcees, the high can understand what I see In this damned planet I bleed Watching jumps is dry tears from what the cameras feed Casualty after casualty They're tryna make a ?? of me No bashing degree but these ba*tards will never meet my status Divine monster tryna increase the malice on the atlas Bad Karma's tactics, use your eyes, try to walk sinless Assa**ins to make Mason advents outlined in chalk "It's like what..Like that.." [Coal Cash] When the complex made it simple, nimble tells it to swindle Rekindle the flames, dwindle felt the pain, held the symbol Maybe the lies spin a weave, the web of wicked wonder Will some just touch the surface? I grab feet and pull you under Village pillage asunder, come and ponder with the rebels Lumber encumbered mounds but then slip among the pebbles Just the devil's humor, rumor has it she's a trick Still sold apple juice logic but then poisoned the elixir Good give me a pitcher of that wicked wisdom mixture Better than them shots of that triple six liquor I see the snake bit ya, told ya not to hold it so close I know you wanted gold, you would've probably sold your own ghost I'm almost close enough to stretch and touch the sun's flames Sin remains to reign, drag me back amongst the mundane While I numb pain with a flask of poison potion ?? looking gla** and curse the ma** of the corrosion Laughing at the notion putrid people put in motion Tied to ignorance, I'll let you glimpse the hell you've chosen I'm woven the smoking fabric of the lies that you inhabit This wayward witches practice, elaborate acts of magic I directed traffic back to where the righteous gathered Before the savage scourge broke their backs and left them scattered Fragile faith shattered at the first sign of hazard Truth forge my sword, wisdom pour from out my scabbard Avid speaker to reach the seeker lost in his way No average teacher, defeat the reaper to his dismay This day could be the one that change the darker future Keep the dreams alive and that is word to Martin Luther Cuz I'm used to the rooster crowing more than three times Never denying Christ, display His light reciting these rhymes And these lines are just the tip of what's the iceberg I know love is the price, a sacrifice for what my life serves I heard the wind reap the songs of better anguish Anxious to thankless foes, let um know how our life is I drank this corrupt cup of gut buster Plus your lady's lust, ?? why I wouldn't trust her And I must've touched the mirror, made it shatter Then bu*t f**ed the black cat while walking under ladders Word son my gathered luck only makes a jinx But enough of Bad Karma cuz I need another drink Didn't come to bring peace baby, only a sword You don't like what we say then you can reap the rewards Keeping the score but always beating the odds Just finding my place amongst the monsters and gods "It's like what..Like that.." ----------------------------------------------------------------- MIDNIGHT / HIDDEN TRACK / BEGINS AT 5:16 [Intro - Tones] Midnight comes and goes, just one stop to notice the fullness of the moon on any glowing, cold, dark, understanding moment of your existence, to see the light thinning, know the shadow has cast, closer. Enter the realm of midnight [sampled from DJ Shadow's Midnight In A Perfect World] Peep through the door It seems as though the gra** was much greener before The dead life has been washed upon the sea shore Money and greed deluded what is truly pure And yet our flesh keeps reaching out for more Now you're trapped A hole in the ozone about to make the world collapse Pollution fills the air and minds with bullet twisted facts Midnight is now upon us people righteous laws are coming back Don't turn your head away cause you can't get away Your mind is lost because your spirit has been led astray Don't ever say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight [Coal Cash] As if our words even matter, shatter the truth to watch it scatter Gather the shards of God to regard the parts that matter Matter of fact rather subtract the arts to have a Moment of reflection that shines through the deception State of minds were kept to keep fetching and don't ask questions It's gotta be the truth, we learned it in school as freshman A fool to turn direction and question authority Majority rules, the real fools that bother me Retardedly you ought to be ashamed of your logic Robotic hypnotic product, a psychotic society Void of variety, annoyed when sobriety acquire the need To feed the irony, don't just inspire me Wire me like a loser to my computer Aliens who must have visiting back from the future How's that suit ya, I hope they shoot ya in the backbone And paralyzed out you use your mouth to crawl back home I attack clones without the help of George Lucas Venomous mucas to spit that Oedipus Confucius Yell stupid mothaf**ers no excuses Nooses ready for you lemmings and the lines are never ending Bending 'round the planet now parading the Satanic Satan works mechanics on the makeshift movie magic Traumatic for the tragic I feel panic in the air [more from DJ Shadow's Midnight In A Perfect World] Some jumping out of buildings others on their knees in prayer Some cry out to the sky and yell they aren't quite prepared You looked God in the face and said forgive me all he did was stare Now you can run But where you gonna hide from all the power of the sun? The cosmic repercussions of what human kind has done No understanding of the fullness everything is simply One Soon to be none again so that new life can come again Illusions rule the mind your soul is never gonna end So don't pretend you gave it all if you ain't gave it all Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching midnight [Raze] You tryna spark the brain but realize you ain't got the lights You walk for fame, I'll cast you lames down with the sodomites I holler twice down to dark dominion of hollowed life Answer back, I'm searching for the beast, no plan attack My hand will grasp the cross that'll force the serpent on knees The land'll turn black as I roast his corpse burning on trees Disease intervenes, over 30 million with H.I.V ?? increase, never expect to get peace, but I'm striving In Revelation the beast is compared with a leopard, a bear and lion But I swear he's dying I won't fall for his masquerade as the messiah Resurrect martyrs to fight with the Father after the Earth's erased and retired You'll waste in a lake of fire You just a symbol of the effort in the days of Zachariah I'll take it higher, shining on lies til I kingdom come home When man will be a child when he's a hundred years old His temple that are teapots The final curtain call for the devil as my spirit grows I'm divine and certain all will tremble You idolize all but they qualify to die for mankind Sick of this damn mind, the lust for the carnal When touching just tongue you allure and the flesh smells nice Bad Karma that soft chew you right like Hell's got ice Rock mics, that's all I've ever known since creation And stop likes of you Pagans and Freemasons [Tabs] There's no salvation from the verses we send Til the Lord scorches the land and Earth will be cleansed Plagues of ravage men, cadavers and shattered plans That were set in stone, now we left to roam the savage lands See the truth came to consume the game in blue flame It's midnight in Gotham, back to the bottom of the food chain We paint the picture, it's scripted in sacred scripture The end of the human race when Mother Nature shakes the Richter Snakes inflict ya with wrath and anger on these dark roads And plans for concentration camps, gas chambers and bar codes So while the kiddies sleep, the beast committee creeps Prepare for Martial Law an war on the city streets Inconceivable evil depicted on the easel The ways of man have shifted towards wicked and deceitful So seek atonement through each of these bleak moments Avoid the herding of the sheep by a beast in priest clothing But there's no room to bloom after you're free Only impending doom as we watch the moon crash to the sea We'll bleed to make it and speak the sacred til the sun's gone You'll see the hatred like FEMA agents on your front lawn So as the world burns and greed and pain feed the flame I fulfill my purpose and k** serpents in Jesus name Then we'll touch the sky cuz it s**s to die with dreams And descend only to watch the end justify the means [more from DJ Shadow's Midnight In A Perfect World] So I bid farewell No more good times or bad times, no more heaven no more hell Now brace yourself for impact it's a half hour to twelve Complete in total darkness empty space is where you're left to dwell And all you had to do was live today for your tomorrow But now it's over and you're drowning deep inside your sorrow You could've led but instead you confirmed and chose to follow So once again I bid farewell There's only seconds left you'd like to second guess But through your foolish ways you've literally beckoned d**h So just don't say you gave it all if you ain't gave it all Just fade it in the hazy purple twilight No more time I tried to warn you all it's now approaching MIDNIGHT
