The Takedown

Now I'm a monster in the booth
All I do is spit the truth
Come at me I'll toss you up
Might even let a couple loose
Thew Thew thew
Now ya bleeding oops
What did you make me do
I Shoot first ask questions later
So I can see right through
I entertained the thought
Of standing on corners slanging rock
Building up an empire block by Solitary block
Running them streets till I was a boss
Kingpin status at any cost
But then I was like nah
That's way too stereotypical
Perpetrating stereotypes for me
Would be atypical
And the choice was very difficult
It made me very miserable
And this is the route I chosed
Luckily I care the most
But You are outside of my purview
If I see you I will curve you
Because of that you now lay
In a puddle of red goo
That makes my shoes
Like some red bottoms
That's Christian Lou's
But I move in the shadows
So your cage isn't rattled
When I came at you
With a surgeons scalpel
To perform surgery
On your hippocampal
Regions of your grey matter
To make you an example
That Pressing Slash Vin
Means will get you trampled
Consider this warning as ample
I'm a monster in the booth
All I do is spit the truth
Come at me I'll toss you up
Might even let a couple loose
Thew Thew thew
Now ya bleeding oops
What did you make me do
I'll Shoot first ask questions later
So I can see right through
But I am not that guy anymore
That's what I got shooters for
They love the blood and gore
Perpetually in a state of war
I'm sick and tired of the flunkies
Loving music off of junk heaps
What do I gotta do to get your Attention to bump these
Tracks that make the powers that be
Feel the unease
That is key to unlocking
I may be on to something
Revolutionary And downright scary
I hope you really hear me
I hope you really really hear me
Inhumane psychology
Digging into what I say like archeology
Peeling back the layers so delicately
So when you understand it will be Overwhelmingly
And without a shadow of a doubt
I got this excruciating minutiaé
Figured out
I got a keen sense of awareness
And the thing I really fear is
The urgency of the situation
Won't come near this
Fever pitch that I'm conveyin
That puts me in demand
Then I try to explain but you just don't understand
I'm a monster in the booth
All I do is spit the truth
Come at me I'll toss you up
Might even let a couple loose
Thew Thew thew
Now ya bleeding oops
what did you make me do
I'll Shoot first ask questions later
So I can see right through
I implore you
To get your knowledge up
No more excuses man
Pretend like this is your one and only Chance
Or your last dance
Find some intellectual curiosity
Then Attack it with the same ferocity
Cause knowledge is power you see
And it's guarded by the powers that be
They don't want you to be free
They wanna control you
Modern day slavery
They wanna use money to wage wars, wage wars
They also use our skin color for race wars
Track us on our phones
On little chipboards
And they always stab us in the back
Never face towards
How can freedom be so restrictive
Is America the definition
I think something's missing
Cause this feels more like a prison
Oops I meant prism
Don't wanna buck the system
Or I might get missin
Or come down with a rare condition
Or probably get offed by an assassin
Cause of the questions I be asking
