SLAINE - My Universe lyrics

Intro: Do I live in a friendly or a hostile universe? Which is it? Is it a universe that is filled with hostility and anger and people wanting to hate each other and people wanting to k** each other, is that what you see? Because when you see the world that way that's exactly what you will create for yourself in your life [Ill Bill] Stonehearted digital tiger-stripe My whole squadron invisible sniper-type We living the life just like a movie But our reality bite you in half Like a great white bites though your raft This ain't no cartoon, you're shark food Hurry up, swim for the shore Or wrestle with jaws if you think you're built for this war I was born from a long line of cast iron survivalists Street-wise grind combined with the mind of a scientist And a heart of granite, sharper than diamonds to scar the planet Inscripted within the star patterns how the God planned it We were put here for a good reason From the mountain tops to the highest of cypress hills So the entire world sees it We put our pain into these words Breathe life into these bangers Y'all relate to every verse and feel our anger Feel the love and hate, feel every emotion possible Shock you like a suicidal explosion in a hospital Rock you, shocking every vital nerve and k**er instinct Fighting every homicidal urge that's living within Every individual cell and molecule in your body Every fiber in your trigger finger shooting the shotty That's the turning point In other words, the point of no return infernally I've been told that my soul will burn for eternity Answer to a higher power Truth, as far as I'm concerned? You can't tell me nothing motherf**er It's my universe [Vinnie Paz] The universe is ruled by the strong The strong prey on the weak The sky's owned by the dawn ?? (This is a lesson, so follow me Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the universe) [Slaine] In this world there's only one way out Close your eyes then You're in the lion's den in a state of zazen The black hearse is occupied, watch the tires spin An old man with a whiskey-nose and hard chin Looks across the scene It's a scene he seen before Since a teen he's seen the war Bullets careening off the walls To the car that's speeding off Blood on the asphalt Families dress in black for the son they had the ma** for The young man inside the casket this time? That's George 'far as the old man can see, he got what he asked for He knew him as a youngin and he schooled him to the game His tutelage had brung him ‘til he grew to live the same As an older gangster gentleman but barely in his 30s The whole city was burning, but Georgie kept earning He was ambitious, too ambitious Man the kid was so determined Now he's laying in the casket while the priest offers a sermon He let his future rock inside the cradle of fate Made a deal with the enemy, that was a fatal mistake When you're a rat you better watch what you say to a snake Or your family will stand around you while you lay at your wake See the neighborhood's violent Mother is silent with loneliness He fills the priest's coffers and he offers his condolences Gets inside his Lincoln While you presume the worst... You can't tell me nothing young man: This is my universe [Hook]
