Aceyalone

As I awaken
Born from the slums and taken
Through the ritual, childhood, puberty, adulthood, maturity
And mastery of me
And my surroundings counting down the days till Im exposed,
"I hear it move swiftly" underneath the nose
Till one day youre face to face youre gonna cross the line
Youre lost for time
Life lose diminished
Heart beat finished replenish
Now you can be one with the light
But when it comes itll come like a thief in the night
[Hook:]
So hollow the ground and dont put up a fight
Cause when it comes itll come like a thief in the night
Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right
But when it comes itll come like a thief in the night
For real we take em away
They take em away
We take em away
They take em away
We take em away
[Verse 2:]
I hear the sound of the rain trickling down my window pane
It stains the seal to let me know life is real
Sustain and build and and maintain a force field
I use it in a time of need when its hazzardest
As it is said
Be defensive at all time for instance
As soon as Im elevated out of existence
I am no more
I can soar
Right on the back of an eagle
Or look eye to eye with a beetle
But now I am engaged
In none other than the physical form in which Im caged
Such lawlessness involved in this charade
Tainted face painted black
"Is that the end momma? Cant I come back?"
No your train stops here
Right where the rain drops appear
Next stop inbetween the ears
Objection to make you cirular
Work you just enough so you can work yourself
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
Overly anxious cant just wait
To see when death is gonna pull you to your fate
Its inevitable theres no escape
Theres no mistake
Every time a life is given its another one you have to take
Then your electricity and and your energys released
Born into another soul after your physicals deceased
May you forever rest in peace
Although your current is concurrent there is no deturrent
You will cease to be no more
The war has been won
The warrior is rested and your duty here is done
Just when you think youre having fun
Itll snatch you up and run
For a second you appreciate the sun
For a half a second you appreciate the stars
For a half a second you reflect on who you are
And what you where
And in a flash its all a blur
[Hook]
[Outro:]
Ladies and gentlemen todays subject is death
The way I look at it its three basic elements right?
Die, dying, dead right? Die, dying, dead. Death becomes you says the crow to
the cheetah because youre an old cat. See you seem a little under the
weather, while me, my wings are as strong as ever, he says.
"Well that may be so" the cheetah says to the crow, but you know where to
find me, because everybody gets their time card pulled. Youll just be a few
more steps behind me, and behind you may I remind you so is everything thats
true and living, thats life driven is given a final shock boy. Frankly
speaking, everything in here is on the clock boy. Every atom, organism,
insect, animal, man is gonna die, dying, dead. "Death becomes you," says the
armadillo to the crow, "Oh you oh you are gonna die."
