about

[v1]
Half Dead on the way up
Ammo’s all been cleared out
Man, you’re really killing me
But I love a chance to turn the tide
So come at me swinging, looking for a fight
Burry my weapons in the ground,
You can’t take what I lay down

[Chorus]
Nobody takes my life (x4)
I lay it down for you (x4)

[v2]
I beat you to the punch
With a heart that softens the blow
And you can’t stop my gentleness
And I’m going to love you to death

[Chorus]

[J Givens]
Death is the start of the next
part
See a star go from Hova
To solar
To land on the land like a rover
To supernova
to roll stone over
shake the spigot
Celebrate mine on the day of the dead
But tell her, "Take wine to the table of bread"
Now, what's homicide if I lay it instead?
She said, "Suicide."
So I says to Mabel, I says
Have you ever seen a dead body
Dig calmly from the root of a palm tree to the tip top
And did not stop
Drop
roll the rock
Woah
Like a black rob zombie
Necro-hip hop
Friendships sail farther
If you start em with martyrdom
Guard em with all that you g-got
Trade noose for a slip knot
And slip not
tied you to the author of time rock
Tick tock
What matters to the wings of a scavenger starving
Like artist
Between a cadaver and carcasses scattered
Is one brings synthetic means to and end
Life springs from the latter
