Don't Get In My Way
Eyes wide shut but they knowBuried alive by the lies in their soulTheir stride of a blind man's strollWell for whom does the next bell tollI'm too many years in the zoneToo many years to have built what I ownAnd many dumb fool try to take what I've grownBut these roots go deep and you can't blood a stoneSo if you want to push, I'm a shoveIf you want to spar we can do it no glovesAnd if you're gonna run at me you better do it hardCuz I fear no fall, no brawl, no scarsI'm too pounds shy of a bombI'm one shade short of alarmI'm too past wrath that I'm calmGot two last laughs in my palmsI'm three degrees west of a hurricaneFour wheel drive with a ball 'n chainMy five foot seven is irrelevantI'm six six six if you threaten my developmentNow see a wise man learns from your mistakesAnd lets the blunders of his brother serve to fill his plateSo best be on your way before the tidal wave breaksCuz you don't want to come to meet the Reaper that awaits
You don't want to say no more than a mime, you can't affordAnd you don't want to let this turn into lines of mine and yoursAnd you don't want to press your luck, better back up and withdrawCuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n clawAnd you don't want to see inside the mind of a savage kindAnd 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 tryJust think before you act because your actions don't rewind
A man with a grudge and a caseA man with intent on his faceAnd if a man walks into placeLet it be known I won't hesitateThis a long time coming like a comet passGot 'em all fired up from the rocket blastAnd if I fall on my sword turn my bones to ashLet it clog up the sand in that hourglassWe in the title fight, blow for a blowAnd you can reap the benefits of what I have to sowCuz I'm about that worth of which you don't appear to knowSo you can take the scene while I take over the show
It's a long way down when you're head is in the cloudsAnd all around the sirens playDon't get in my wayDon't tell me I should bowCuz I'm no clownAnd this is not a gameDon't get in my way
You don't want to say no more than a mime, you can't affordAnd you don't want to let this turn into lines of mine and yoursAnd you don't want to press your luck, better back up and withdrawCuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n clawAnd you don't want to see inside the mind of a savage kindAnd 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 tryJust think before you act because your actions don't rewind
Poisoned by the snakes in the grassHoaxed by the rats out the mazeThey should have never poked the lion as he passCuz now it's two hawks in a cageThis a tale of a cautionary kindThis a story of that Icarus designThis a message from the hanged man's twineThis when mother nature rips apart the fault linesAnd this the type of case that make a grown man cryWhen feeble of the spine crumble underneath the grindWhen blessings of the meek lead to lessons of the blindWhen Heaven shows its teeth and the planets are alignedSo amusing the feeling as they race offGot 'em musing from the pressure as I chase offShould have thought it through before he turned to face offNow this fool sounding like he gone and turned his bass offThis an ace caught, cut the game shortYou don't want to have an escalation of the maimed sortAnd you don't want to feel the flame that burns prideNow you know the reason why those sleeping dogs lie
Long way down when you're head is in the cloudsAnd all around the sirens playDon't get in my wayDon't tell me I should bowCuz I'm no clownAnd this is not a gameDon't get in my way
You don't want to say no more than a mime, you can't affordAnd you don't want to let this turn into lines of mine and yoursAnd you don't want to press your luck, better back up and withdrawCuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n clawAnd you don't want to see inside the mind of a savage kindAnd 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 tryJust think before you act because your actions don't rewind
They sicker than a wicked man's whipVictims of they hype and of they sycophant's lipAnd underneath the money and the power is the tipOf something very dangerous and it's strengthening its gripAnd I don't have to tell 'em that they turning pale with albinismI am not their keepers but I keep my own moraleAnd isn't everything we do just a matter of decisionSo if life is just a prison then I'm breaking out this minute
This an epidemic of the vultures in the playpenWeasels with a smile and a guile that leaves 'em vacantBusinessman sticking up the layman out the gate andThieves wearing suits but they can never fool the vagrantsAnd con man bringing 'em treasures of fool's goldCEO's grinning from swindling stocks coldPoliticians trading their morals for blindfoldsAnd cowards step aside as the criminal mind holdsWelcome to the jungle where deception is the codeBrother fighting brother as their avarice corrodesSee that evil, speak that evil, be that evil boldYou are not your own and love's a memory of oldOne nation under fraud - the anthem you applaudWell let this serve to warn, I won't enable or rewardAnd let the flies swarm, let the noble die strongThis is my scorn, new day, new dawn
