You see, you're born to die Well that's infinite sadness I'm standing on the edge of complete madness Shut my eyes Yes, I love the blackness I Journey down deep into the heart of darkness Funny how it goes when it seems on tow There's a whole entire world on remote control soul With the writing on the wall It's so strange to think I'm wrapped around your finger Just when I'm all alone It's so cold inside, so cold that I can't figure They got people, to keep you in step And nothing sounds fresh, there was no positive flow from the west And every kid went to school wearing a bullet-proof vest It sounds like a mess, I like my sh** to be clear It's all that subliminal that keeps me in fear And makes me beware of even the man in the mirror You never know, he might be the one to pull the trigger In the darkness of my dream I can see that ray of light, that you control me Everything must have a price So it's not hard to understand that you can own me With the writing on the wall It's so strange to think I'm wrapped around your finger Just when I'm all alone It's so cold inside, so cold that I can't figure It's my mission that I'm on this "why?" everytime I grab the mic, I drop the bomb And in my rhyme you will detect In between the slang, traces of intellect But from that, don't expect that I"m here to teach or to preach I'm all about gettin' about going when I speak And I'm takin' you higher than the peaks That be in the fall, it's nineteen nine And I'm still walkin' tall There was a few times that I thought I might fall And lose it all But I got myself together Had to reaffirm my grip So now you better beleive that I'll always come equipped Never slip, I always keep my balance I rose to the occasion and I took up the challenge Now tell me, can you imagine, a world where freedom is a threat And s** isn't wet, and ever better yet You take caution just before you step In the darkness of my dream I can see that ray of light, that you control me Everything must have a price So it's not hard to understand that you can own me With the writing on the wall It's so strange to think I'm wrapped around your finger Just when I'm all alone It's so cold inside, so cold that I can't figure You see, you're born to die Well that's infinite sadness I'm standing on the edge of complete madness Shut my eyes Yes, I love the blackness I Journey down deep into the heart of darkness Funny how it goes when it seems on tow There's a whole entire world on remote control soul
