Battle Hymn - Vinnie Paz/Apathy.mp3

[00:21.760] I travel underground like the Goonies with a bag full of uzis
[00:24.918] Emerging in a corner store where Arabs sell loosies
[00:27.525] My banger's on the waist, I never wave it around
[00:30.033] But I always chamber a round when there's strangers around
[00:32.831] Set my phaser to kill, my force field is on max
[00:35.571] Never relax, study the facts and stockpile gats
[00:38.370] Cause the sky's about to bleed blood out from the clouds
[00:40.989] This gas mask's in my backpack when walking through crowds
[00:43.719] The post-apocalyptic, optic fitted with bionic circuitry
[00:46.521] Surgically planted perfectly, no way to word it verbally
[00:49.446] But extrasensory perception got me detecting
[00:51.953] Any cop or detective, intercept them, and stop 'em with weapons
[00:54.854] King Syze, Vinnie Paz, we like Animal Hawk
[00:57.349] Grammatical master for art, Heavy Metal we smashing your thoughts
[01:00.591] We upper level, you rappers are technicians
[01:03.008] Undergraduates I gotta doctorate when it comes to ripping
[01:06.321] Scientific, I was spawned from a different species
[01:08.826] And if you beat me, you gon’ fight me every time you see me
[01:11.770] It’s never over, **** Syze it's King Cobra
[01:13.935] I’m brushing off my shoulders, spittin lethal plus we taking over
[01:17.037] I’m getting older so I live by the new slogan
[01:20.047] That Philly shit the barrel smoke will leave your head open
[01:22.890] It’s open season on any rapper who want to beef with
[01:25.504] The Army of the Pharaohs, yeah man we’ll bring the seasoning
[01:28.203] Don't hit me with the drama, don't approach me 'bout no B.I
[01:30.650] Cause I'm a Pharaoh king, and y'all ain't worthy of a reply
[01:33.379] Bodies I've caught decomposing on the seaside
[01:36.018] Catch me river dancing through the bloody waters, knee-high
[01:38.878] Mind state is cutthroat, can't walk around deprived
[01:41.650] My team shut it down, any access will be denied
[01:44.386] Crown royal status Puerto-Ricans, that's how we ride
[01:47.005] Nocturnal souls mesmerized by the streetlights
[01:49.984] One shot at glory, game will never give you three tries
[01:52.690] For the haters I've murked, they would love to see me die
[01:55.370] Acid tripping vision, everything look hi-defy
[01:58.153] Drugs, money, liquor, only things that get me by
[02:11.771] I got a lot of hate, I got to learn to love, stop the date
[02:14.980] But some days I would rather murder than populate
[02:17.688] Either way, I gotta open up the cosmic gates
[02:20.371] Who knows what the future holds, gotta watch and wait
[02:23.187] I can't function clear, keep a ton of guns and beer
[02:25.886] I never sweat it, I get arrested like once a year
[02:28.609] My gun big as two guns, you should cover your ears
[02:31.237] Believe half of what you see and nothing you hear
[02:34.160] Nobody listens, I got a lot of ground to cover
[02:37.018] Bullets go in one ear and out the other
[02:39.786] Tucked the weapon in, kick his face
[02:41.683] In the blood pool like give him a taste of his own medicine
[02:45.120] Impeach the president, I’m pulling out my ray-gun
[02:47.631] Chuck D’s greatest line and y'all ain’t even thank him
[02:50.327] Y'all ain’t on my radar, horrible like Hagar
[02:53.056] Mos Eisleys flow, beats banging on the space bar
[02:55.877] Haters get mad, start banging on the spacebar
[02:58.611] Flip over the desk, ought to take it up with HR
[03:01.292] Your b***h give Bad Brains, like she work for H.R
[03:04.035] I be where the rays are, you wonder where the weights are
[03:06.817] I’m a cannibal, you cats wonder where the plates are
[03:09.575] I know that I’m immortal why you wonder where the gates are
[03:12.187] I Cold Crush your Brother like Grandmaster Caz
[03:14.739] Paz work with the .45 like Lakim Shabazz
[03:17.627] I’m from the East Coast nigga, but I’m still loc'ed out
[03:20.122] I grew up inside the crack-house, my moms was smoked out
[03:23.571] You know the kid with the bummy kicks, holes in his jeans
[03:26.541] Same shirt, chilling on some bummy shit
[03:29.016] Yeah, that was me though, attracted to the metal like Magneto
[03:32.289] Sneakers started talking like ay bandito
[03:35.005] Got my own never borrowed or begged for shit
[03:37.190] Now it's on cause I'm rolling with the Pharaohs legit
[03:39.850] Tired of rappers always rhyming that bullshit
[03:42.452] Catch at you at your CD signing, with a full clip
[03:45.452] Now, how you feel about the Pharaohs and the Demigodz?
[03:48.124] That’s what I thought nigga, because we large and in charge
[04:02.315] Keep shooters on stash, move and they blast
[04:04.472] Refugees that came on an inner tube with a gat
[04:06.932] Rubix Cuban code name, but you will respect the handle
[04:09.862] Spend checks on Windex so I shine the chrome enamel
[04:12.579] I throw hands with the devil so ain't much to fear after
[04:15.219] B*****s cry over me, I'm a top tier rapper

[04:23.982] And I will outright say that you soft
[04:26.107] I write your favorite writer that you base your style off of
[04:28.809] I'll let the Tec blast in ya, if the check cash finish
[04:32.354] Shells give you a turtle-face, make ya back splinter
[04:34.650] With the semi-automatic, sipping henny in the attic
[04:37.094] Spitting heavy with the god of the Serengeti blasted
[04:39.949] Fasted, ‘till I downloaded the attachment
[04:42.753] The hunger came back, and I’m eating like a savage
[04:45.464] Walking through the labyrinth, imagining it’s Nazareth
[04:48.191] Throwing more stones at the throne, lone catalyst
[04:51.047] Puff puff pass it, that ain't ever been me
[04:53.831] Only had the urge to annihilate the emcee
[04:56.479] Used to ride the ten-speed, and copped the top ten sneaks
[04:59.273] Never thought I’d be in Budapest counting ten Gs
[05:03.014] But it all makes sense to me
[05:04.784] Pharaoh clique sick man we thick more than ten feet
[05:07.438] If I ain’t heard of y'all rappers then you gotta be soft
[05:09.825] That’s the reason why I talk about the bodies I caught
[05:12.780] Bodies in north, New Haven down to New York
[05:15.314] If it’s a fight they put in front of me, it’s gotta be fought
[05:18.065] They got me in court for carrying the burner on the waist
[05:21.004] My lawyer is an animal, he murdering the case
[05:23.714] Boombox hardbody murdering the tape
