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
