Braintax - Escuchame lyrics

(Chorus) Escuchame... It's like a long walk to China trying to reach these heads See, the world around your body makes your brain stay dead Stand around in thick traffic just inhaling some lead I'm in the phone box breathing off some stranger's breath No change left, I fed my last gold Queen's head "Busy now" is all the message said, let me leave you Let your brain cook, mobile – you're agile Still hearing cancer rays until you're off-the-hook My mindset stays steady, taking shelter in a hut On a mountainside, ready for the wind and the ruck I see a storm blow past with economic avalanche Because the rich, fat nations try to cling to every branch Me, I'm playing mind chess then Monopoly with stress Flipping cards by the log fire with thoughts of d**h Got a year's supply of Bics, hiding out in Deep Six I'll emerge in twenty years when there's no cash left But for now I'm back to basics, spilling out raps Freestyling in the snow while I'm laying squirrel traps It's survival; really none of us can pull it off Just filling up the silence with my fresh air cough See, I got theory off but now I'm losing my mind The poisons in my blood are trying to make it to the outside Outside – money and cars and more waste, detox I'm displaced, fighting craving for that city taste (Chorus) Escuchame... "Survival got me bugging" – Inspectah Deck (x4) And like I said I'm all in it like on live through life Paranoia strikes, creeping out the forest at night I like to sit back holed up, sharpen my knife Learning all about myself but I'm missing the hype It's survival; the helicopter left me with a rifle But it rusted up so I'm onto snow and berry trifles I sing aloud in my hideout cause no one can hear me And nature's looking bigger and it doesn't fear me Or any of my city ways, haven't said a word for one month Hear my snow boots crunch through the wasteland This could be a parallel to cityscapes Where tree towers overpower and isolate many souls Nature's like a friend until she turns cold Those icy looks are icebergs on my tent pole The IMAX is now live from the arctic You can call me Braintax, now my verbal film's starting: Reindeer, a target on the hill by the tree line I move quick, this reminds me of the free line Live simple, hunt-and-gather rules still apply But we never turn to greed and d**h's a catalyst to life CAN YOU HEAR ME?! "Survival got me bugging" – Inspectah Deck (Chorus) Escuchame... "Survival got me bugging" – Inspectah Deck (x4) Escuchame... (x5)
