lyrics

Call me atlas with the lashes on my back as the burden. Ever present like the presence of heretics at the burning. Turn my enemies into ashes feel fire and breathe smoke. Measure the pressure as if i pressed my fingers to your throat. Get choked slow, my coke flow leave headz numb. While I’m gettin low in this bitch and sippin drencrum. Take two hitz of de spliff and spit bedlam. Now breathe my sick drip while i mix this redrum. Then ease back fade catz into the blackground. Stars take flight on bright nightz and get the smackdown. Believe the hype and walk toward the light. My talk seeps to the core provide an open sore for in-sight. I touch mics every night like its my first time, cuz i been tight like a virgin since the first rhyme. Untouched with the uncut raw, leave em blind when i shine like a diamond with no flaw. A sign of the times my rhymes harrow a close call to conceal the feeling when shadows bite, call me Ghost Dog. Emcees end up like Dawn a diva no longer en vogue and still tryna hold on. And the feeling is so strong i live it to give it from holding it in for so long. So gone sometimes its hard to speak and hear the beat that’s always creeping in cities that never sleep. So the rhythm I've gotta keep and thats as deep as it gets, 451 leagues beneath until the need to seek breath. Ain’t leavin til nothings left they call it a double negative cuz rap of positive impacts no longer relative. Yeah, so please pass the sedative for what i did to this track it'd be wrong to let it live. So dead it. cuz this is more than a song I’m showing generations love like hugging kids, with nuclear arms. Bonded like napalm to form a tragedy thru bomb smoke floating like fire in zero gravity.
