[Verse 1: Spiga]
Rise up from under the covers and greet the sunset
How deep can one get? The nightmares ain’t even done yet
My lungs wet from yearlong tears that I’ve swallowed
Slowing down in deeper waters of life, drowning in sorrow
I’ve fallen numb with Christ. Tomorrow’s promised to none
How many lives have extended on the strength of copping a gun?
Stop with the fun and games. They fatten you for the slaughter
See the demons creeping in things you’re feeding your son and daughter
Never thought a figment of my imagination could hurt me
‘Til you taste your own blood in the air, crying for mercy
I’m thirsty for life abundant. I wonder how many seen Him
Or heard the message and didn’t catch the meaning. Believe me
I used to be a mockery to breeding the demons
Right after the meetings, me and my father had a talk about how to beat ‘em
Where you at now? Picking the miller, looking for Heaven
But going back for the one that you got to sleep with. The seven
Is it worth dying, trying more to be official?
Sword strapped to my back under the monkey, harder to get to
Ow! I think he bit me, I hear a lion roar
It’s wrong to fool about, messing with nature, so what you
Crying for?
[Verse 2: King Cesar]
Stand back, yo, uh huh, and don’t come close to me
You’re about to hear this sh*t how it’s s’posed to be
Cook you bird-ass n*ggas in the roastery
This hip hop sh*t? It need a brand-new upholstery
And I’m the verbal pain reliever, the integrated
Air receiver, the one that left that blood up on your cleaver
Smack the sh*t out nonbeliever. I got that
Monsta fever, and it ain’t gon’ stop either
Bow down to King Cesar. I’m talking
‘Bout right now, not at your motherf*cking leisure
You better recognize who we Czar, or get your
Kids kidnapped from your backyard seesaw
