Don't Get In My Way

Eyes wide shut but they know

Buried alive by the lies in they soul

They stride of a blind man's strode

But for whom does the next bell toll?

I'm too many years in the zone

Too many years to have built what I own

And many dumb fool try to take what I've grown

But these roots go deep and you can't blood a stone

So if you wanna push, I'ma shove

If you wanna spar we can do it, no gloves

And if you're gonna run at me you better do it hard

'Cause I fear no fall, no brawl, no scars

I'm two pounds shy of a bomb

I'm one shade short of alarm

I'm too past wrath that I'm calm

Got two last laughs in my palms

I'm three degrees west of a hurricane

Four wheel drive with a ball and chain

My 5'7" is irrelevant

I'm 666 if you threaten my development

Now see a wise man learns from your mistakes

And lets the blunders of his brother serve to fill his plate

So best be on your way before the tidal wave breaks

'Cause you don't wanna come to meet the Reaper that awaits

You don't wanna say no more than a mime, you can't afford

And you don't wanna let this turn into lines of mine and yours

And you don't wanna press your luck, better back up and withdraw

'Cause trust me when I tell you, you don't want that tooth and claw

And you don't wanna see inside the mind of savage kind

And you don't want that recognition of, "Oh, there goes that guy"

But if you do decide that you are gonna play that hand and try

Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind

A man with a grudge and a case

A man with intent on his face

And if a man walks in a place

Let it be known I won't hesitate

This a long time comin' like a comet pass

Got 'em all fired up from the rocket blast

And if I fall on my sword, turn my bone to ash

Let it clog up the sand in that hourglass

We in the title fight, blow for a blow

And you can reap the benefit of what I have to sow

'Cause I'm about that worth of which you don't appear to know

So you can take the scene while I take over the show

It's a long way down when your head is in the clouds

And all around the sirens play, don't get in my way

Don't tell me I should bow

'Cause I'm no clown and this is not a game

Don't get in my way

You don't wanna say no more than a mime, you can't afford

And you don't wanna let this turn into lines of mine and yours

And you don't wanna press your luck, better back up and withdraw

'Cause trust me when I tell you, you don't want that tooth and claw

And you don't wanna see inside the mind of savage kind

And you don't want that recognition of, "Oh, there goes that guy"

But if you do decide that you are gonna play that hand and try

Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind

Poisoned by the snakes in the grass

Hoaxed by the rats out the maze

They should've never poked the lion as he pass

'Cause now it's two hawks in a cage

This a tale of a cautionary kind

This a story of that Icarus design

This the message from the hanged man's twine

This when Mother Nature rips apart the faultlines

And this the type of thing that make a grown man cry

When feeble of the spine crumble underneath the grind

When blessin's of the meek lead to lessons of the blind

When Heaven shows its teeth and the planets are aligned

So amusin' is the feelin' as they race off

Got 'em musin' from the pressure as I chase off

Should've thought it through before before he turned to faceoff

Now this fool soundin' like he gone and turned his bass off

This an ace caught, cut the game short

You don't wanna have an escalation of the maimed sort

And you don't wanna feel the flame that burns pride

Now you know the reason why those sleepin' dogs lie

Long way down when your head is in the clouds

And all around the sirens play, don't get in my way

Don't tell me I should bow

'Cause I'm no clown and this is not a game

Don't get in my way

You don't wanna say no more than a mime, you can't afford

And you don't wanna let this turn into lines of mine and yours

And you don't wanna press your luck, better back up and withdraw

'Cause trust me when I tell you, you don't want that tooth and claw

And you don't wanna see inside the mind of savage kind

And you don't want that recognition of, "Oh, there goes that guy"

But if you do decide that you are gonna play that hand and try

Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind

They sicker than a wicked man's whip

Victims of they hype and of they sycophants' lip

And underneath the money and the power is the tip

Of somethin' very dangerous and it's strengthenin' its grip

And I don't have to tell 'em that they turnin' pale with albinism

I am not they keepers but I keep my own morale, and isn't

Everything we do just a matter of decisions?

So if life is just a prison then I'm breakin' out this minute

This an epidemic of the vultures in the playpen

Weasels with a smile and a guile that leaves 'em vacant

Businessmen stickin' up the laymen out the gate and

Thieves wearin' suits but they can never fool the vagrants

And con man bringin' 'em treasures of fool's gold

CEOs grinnin' from swindlin' stocks cold

Politicians tradin' their morals for blindfolds

And cowards step aside as the criminal mind holds

Welcome to the jungle where deception is the cold

Brother fighting brother as their avarice corrodes

See that evil, speak that evil, be that evil bold

You are not your own and love's a memory of old

One nation under fraud, the anthem you applaud

Well, let this serve to warn, I won't enable or reward

And let the flies swarm, let the noble die strong

This is my scorn, new day, new dawn
