lyrics

Imagine waking up, bout quarter til noon
to a bulletproof silverback gorilla in your living room
snoring with it's eyes open, to the tune, of Avi Satani'
yep yep your doomed, now when things are assumed
that means you didn't ask;
like is DOOM's favorite song by the Fugees, 'the Mask?'
'Bet Ya Sweet Ass', probably his reply
and I'm the blackest story walking since the Book of Eli
I provide -- a new state of mind for the rhyme,
it's like i'm adding braille around the signs of the time,
so when they hide behind the shine, the the light won't drive you blind
hearing As-salamu alaykum, while smellin' pork rinds
that's why i'm back up on my beats tho'; sympatico
breathe slow, gotta take time with the free throw;
cause game winning shots, are strictly for the heroes
that nothin' but net net, triple down effect-fect,
keeps ya boy with checks, and not engrossed with debt
yep that boy gets respect like S was on his chest,
'cept, to my ex it's lower...and leans to the left;
say yes if you get it, it's cool if you didn't,
the last one's a bit of a stretch, I admit it,
No fuck that! How bout you start thinkin' bout the lyrics
Instead just bobbing ya head when you hear it
and give me the clearance to be different when I feel it,
so I don't have to dumb my shit down, for you to get it
hater's still bitchin', but still buy tickets;
they just a bunch of pots, talkin shit about the skillet
and this is not a field test, you hear it

imagine waking up bout quarter til midnight
new year's even, kanye in the spotlight
sweating trippin', talking bout he got stage fright
big tattoo cross his face like Daylyt,
uh...yeah right...
