Zealots

Lyrics

One two - I'm bout to set this off!
 Like this, hip-hoppers, check it
 Another MC lose his life tonight, Lord
 I beg that you pray to Jesus Christ, why
 Oh Lord, father don't let him bury me, whoa
 I haunt MCs like Mephistopheles, bringing swords of Damocles
 Secret service keep a close watch as if my name was Kennedy
 Abstract raps simple with a street format
 Gaze into the sky and measure planets by parallax
 Check out the retrograde motion, kill the notion
 Of biting and recycling and calling it your own creation
 I feel like Rockwell, somebody's watching me
 I got no privacy whether on land or at sea
 And for you biting zealots, your raps are cacophonic
 Hypocrite, critic, but deep inside you wish you had the pop hit
 It hurts don't it, a refugee come to your turf
 And take over the earth
 See my rhymes, are the type of fly rhymes
 That can only get down with my crew
 And if you try, to take lines or bite rhymes
 We'll show you how the refugees do
 Yeah, yeah behold, as my odes, manifold on your rhymes
 Two MCs can't occupy the same space at the same time
 It's against the laws of physics
 So weep as your sweet dreams break up like Eurythmics
 Rap rejects, my tape deck, ejects projectile
 Whether Jew or gentile, I rank top percentile
 Many styles, more powerful than gamma rays
 My grammar pays, like Carlos Santana plays "Black Magic Woman"
 So while you fuming, I'm consuming mango juice under Polaris
 You just embarrassed 'cause it's your last tango in Paris
 And even after all my logic and my theory
 I add a "Motherfucker" so you ignant niggas hear me
 Crew remember take notes, as I sow my rap oats
 And for you biting zealots, here's a quote
 Another MC lose his life tonight, Lord
 I beg that you pray to Jesus Christ, why
 Oh Lord, father don't let him bury me, whoa
 You can try but you can't divide the tribe
 These cats can't rap, mister author I feel no Vibe
 The magazine says the girl should have went solo
 The guys should stop rapping - vanish like Menudo
 Took it to the heart, but every actor plays his part
 As long as someone was listening, I knew it was a start
 For me to get my chance, grab my pen and revamp
 Do a cameo while everybody do the dance
 Quick now, cause you running out of luck-a
 Playing Mr. Big, I'm gonna get you sucka
 While you munching at your luncheon
 I'll be planning your assassination, then hit you like the Dutchman
 I compress sound sets with my rap DBX
 Then drop vocals on my 456 Ampex
 Bring terror to the shop of horror
 As she cry, "mi amor," the phantom dies in the opera
 And to the younguns who carry gadgets
 And kill six days a week, then rest on the Sabbath
 Violence ain't necessary, unless you provoke me
 Then get buried like the great Mussolini
 And for you biting zealots, your rap styles are relics
 No matter who you damage, you're still a false prophet
 Another MC lose his life tonight, Lord
 I beg that you pray to Jesus Christ, why
 Oh Lord, father don't let him bury me, whoa
