Mr. Lif - The Abyss lyrics

Verse One I landed on the ground Took a look around He's nowhere to be found But without a sound I stood there silent Engulfed in violence Embraced by shadows My mind set: Battle Standing in the courtyard Right beneath the balcony Hoping that my lady ain't a Valkyrie Should one suggest that I be met by d**h I'll fight til I've got no strength Or there's nothing left The gate was left agape To the alleyway The path where he escaped But so silently I could hear the wind rustle the vines Amidst the dim street lights The moon shines This type of scene Sniper scene True that it might be him But it might be me Out through the gate I go But kept low Shift strictly to intuition mode Cut my eyes left Cut my eyes right He's not in my eyesight I'm ready for gun fight The muthaf**a made a dash and moved fast I licked off a blast It flew past him He's a block away but I can catch him Face bashing New course of action I'm gaining Out here without training Heart started pounding when I saw him blazing Chorus So amazed the ways that life could go (x4) Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss (x2) VERSE 2 Mr. Lif He popped two shots Though I thought he was out Whizzed past my face But I can't stop now Feeling like a demon Bobbing and weaving I could have been struck man I'm lucky to be breathing Chest heaving Adrenaline rush Voice inside of my head says: Inner Voice : ("This is too much") ("Hesitation Doubt Re-route It's not too late for you to be out You could see now Drop the gun You've already won No need to bleed two You just dropped one He won't be back This is over attack You just ended a life You're the owner of that") Mr. Lif Had to stop in my tracks And put my back on the wall If I'm invisible to him Then that's the end of the brawl With such a sudden withdrawal I didn't know what to think Then I realized that I survived a walk on the brink On the edge of destruction For sure pure panic The gravity of this Turned me to pure manic I stood there And finally felt fear I'm sure back at the crib My girl's in tears I've gotta go back But I did so slowly Along the same path of fury That blurred me Who heard me? All the neighborhood lights on Now I hear sirens Remnants of violence Silence at the core of my mind As I teleported back to the scene of the crime Told my girl "I'm here" Open the attic door I a**ure safety After tragic war As we embraced She cried She thought maybe I died I'm glad that we're alive But part of me Partially Parted me I was barely even present for the hug So please pardon me My mind beams Stages of dreams Crazed as it seems Survive by any means I never really slept that well After that night Sunset Now gets me set to fight And it's wearing down even my relentless type And it seems nobody can contest the plight So I'm waking from nightmares And even though the coast is clear I fell into my own despair... Chorus Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss (x2)
