Words Can Kill

Names and faces they apt to change
Fake ways and patterns react the same
Half these rap cats act today
I'm an actor, but I don't act that way
Slap out the accent and accolades
Boot up and throw the whole damn act away
Holler "Action!", blow your whole back away
That's wassup man, back away, back away
Dig up Ben Franklin to get back pay
They said I ain't wrapped too tight that way
But I'm a tight rapper, 'cause I captivate
Forever like a sideways Activ-8
Activate something and leave actor ate
Then rap until tracks collapse or just breaks
Like back when we ain't have no tracks just breaks
Back when we ain't have no tracks just breaks

People say I shouldn't rap so real
Peter Tosh and John Lennon, words can kill
People say I shouldn't rap so real
Mention Tupac and Biggie like, words can kill
People say I shouldn't rap so real
But my verses are more mighty than their works of steel
People say I shouldn't rap so real
Words can kill

My mind drifts, images dancing
Seconds pass as if dipped in molasses
Lyrics shapeshift into stained gold
They were born on drugs in tornadoes
And they fight each other to remain whole
Only the strongest survive, I say those
Lay those with passion, the tracks call me "Beethoven"
Snub nose, pushing the records, I make 'em play those

Sick like my dick caught the worst case of fatals
Fallen angel, cutting blow with my halo
I'm Azazel, I'm a legend, their fables still
I tell 'em, "Whatever, yeah"
Stop running around like your logos are rainbows
Snitching on yourself like your part-time plainclothes
First record put you on the feds' payroll
My God, y'all about as hard as some Play-Doh
Ay yo, a lot of a-holes don't got labels
They playing the roll like dice on crap tables
We debo, bend spacetime like hero
Erase and take charge, ride for the people
X-ray vision, my thoughts should be illegal
My crimes are noted, you want none of my evil
Song cathedrals, I can barely hear you
So why in the Hell should I fear you?

People say I shouldn't rap so real
Peter Tosh and John Lennon, words can kill
People say I shouldn't rap so real
Mention Tupac and Biggie like, words can kill
People say I shouldn't rap so real
But my verses are more mighty than their works of steel
People say I shouldn't rap so real
Words can kill

Let the song sing itself and ride it
My mind becomes mist, the pictures start rising
The beat makes me drift, my hand starts gliding
Jotting down words I don't remember me writing, but
I come back alive and vibrant
Notebook on fire with a song inside it
Meditating to the beautiful silence
Signing rhymes with letters made out of flawless diamonds

I wrote a mountain and I wrote a volcano
A withered flower, half-horn, half-halo
Devangel, I see through your all angles
I fly, landing shatters my ankles
I could paint without a canvas
My soul lets the criminal mind take advantage
My heart doesn't know who to trust, I'm brain damaged
Pockets gangbanging and steady planning

I'm not normal! You're hot? I'm a lot warmer
I'ma riot you just a little pocket of performance
Popping the porn in, hot (shhh) is a popular toilet
You're insignificant - a clock to a Californian
Songs born banging, blood on the sneakers
Sicker than demons' afflicted flipping middle fingers
Azeem - the last lyricist you want to see serious
Is over your head to star from the age of Aquarius, dawg
Call your veterinarian, bury vicarious rappers
Capital Brooklyn to the ("sniffle") Bay Area
Various stereos here with us, Ariel clearance to
Etheria period travel on wings, malaria
Spirit of furious warriors tearing the barriers
On point, pyramids crushing the criteria
All smoke and mirrors, ain't a way that you comparing
Niggas swearing and they walk away psychic after hearing it

Interference is dead, my competitors fearing it
The devil says I'm a terrorist, yeah, Messiah lyricist
Appear in a mysterious sphere, craft superior
Back! Or I'ma beat you like a table in a cafeteria

People say I shouldn't rap so real
Peter Tosh and John Lennon, words can kill
People say I shouldn't rap so real
Mention Tupac and Biggie like, words can kill
People say I shouldn't rap so real
But my verses are more mighty than their works of steel
People say I shouldn't rap so real
Words can kill

People say I shouldn't rap so real
Words can kill
People say I shouldn't rap so real
Words can kill
