saddled up, up roaming among ashes ravenous, these ones that are left are savage ravaging remains 'til there's nothing left to salvage eyes gone flat black, heart's grown callous and here i am, trying to keep my composure wise enough to never call myself a soldier victim of happenstance, nervous wreck, ambulance ain't gonna come around anytime soon and i'm riding like a man possessed only because i don't see another way boy i sure do hope that all this pounding on my chest wasn't done in vain at the peak of my distress, but my eyes stay open 'cause them wicked don't rest at the peak of my distress, but my eyes stay open, 'cause them wicked don't rest can you feel my body shaking, like my last breath taken? this world's my drug - this world's my drug can you feel the earth quaking, like my burdens breaking this world's my drug, and i can't get enough in the old world, they asked me who i wanted to be in the new world, i want to be the God MC wanna bring it on back to the basics speak while the bass kicks so they can hear the God in me born in the genesis new chapter revelations come and gone what you do after run and see that pastor member of that clergy wrangle up the children wake 'em up early wade in the water let the passion through you just be a witness we just passin’ thru and we rap in two and we rappin’ too from the native lands to the capital original mystic, evangelist going ballistic words put the man on a mission gain some attention speaking truth, telling these lies but it all started out from a vision... can you feel my body shaking, like my last breath taken? this world's my drug - this world's my drug can you feel the earth quaking, like my burdens breaking this world's my drug, and i can't get enough

POWER 02:26
i've been waiting for some time patiently off to the side letting so-and-so get their shine and move along for me, it made sense to abide to the unspoken, besides i'm an understanding guy, but don't get me wrong: i've seen plenty that decide they simply cannot survive without a bit of the limelight, the shit gets old can't comprehend it's finite and though it's been a bitchin' ride i say it's in their best interest to just get off while they fit the mold it'll get to the point where the mold'll shift and they just can't grip that thought we go for broke - won't see us being sold or bought nuh uh ain't no motherfxxker with a chip on their shoulder gonna stop what i put into motion, oh no no, it's mine now when you do good people will accuse you of having ulterior motives green on the inside like fried okra sly joker, no i- don’t trespass on private property i just get the game like the poacher king cobra to you chickens in a box lay your eggs then look over your picket fence and watch a behemoth of a man you test dummy i test genius, understand you hard headed, then I beat it in yo’ head and i beat it till it’s red bustin’ up yo’ thick skull it hit for nuthin’ but to a glutton give me something just to shoot off on an impulse i been told i’m in-co-herent when i speak amongst the parish hear the power in my larynx

Daniel 03:31
late nights, blood rush drink heavy, smoke hard, love much hold my head up to the sky shades keep the sun out of my eyes fallin' over, searching for something less something more in a hurry, make it last hit the brakes before i crash it was the day that daniel died. up early, up again for a job that don't have an end it's never right, but nevermind let it slide: pay your bills, keep quiet put here for something sure wasn't this should call it quits - son of a bitch losing will, losing sight it's never real, it's never right it was the day that daniel died. keep me in your thoughts, and keep me in your prayers i'm going off the deep. i hope to see you there.
