Don't Get in My Way

Eyes wide shut but they know
 Buried alive by the lies in their soul
 They stride of a blind man's stroll
 But for whom does the next bell toll?
 I'm too many years in the zone
 Too many years to have built what I own
 And many dumb fool try to take what I've grown
 But these roots go deep and you can't blood a stone
 So if you wanna push, I'mma shove
 If you wanna spar, we can do it, no gloves
 And if you're gonna run at me you better do it hard
 Cuz I fear no fall, no brawl, no scars
 I'm two pounds shy of a bomb
 I'm one shade short of alarm
 I'm too past wrath that I'm calm
 Got two last laughs in my palms
 I'm three degrees west of a hurricane
 Four wheel drive with a ball 'n' chain
 My five foot seven is irrelevant
 I'm six, six, six if you threaten my development
 Now, see a wise man learns from your mistakes
 And lets the blunders of his brother serve to fill his plate
 So best be on your way before the tidal wave breaks
 Cuz you don't wanna come to meet the Reaper that awaits
 ♪
 You don't wanna say no more than a mime you can't afford
 And you don't wanna let this turn into lines of mine and yours
 And you don't wanna press your luck, better back up and withdraw
 Cuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n' claw
 And you don't wanna see inside the mind of a savage kind
 And 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 try
 Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind
 ♪
 A man with a grudge and a case
 A man with intent on his face
 And if a man walks into place
 Let it be known I won't hesitate
 This a long time coming like a comet pass
 Got 'em all fired up from the rocket blast
 And if I fall on my sword, turn my bones to ash
 Let it clog up the sand in that hourglass
 We in the title fight, blow for a blow
 And you can reap the benefit of what I have to sow
 Cuz I'm about that worth of which you don't appear to know
 So you can take the scene while I take over the show
 It's a long way down when your head is in the clouds
 And all around the sirens play
 Don't get in my way
 Don't tell me I should bow
 Cuz I'm no clown
 This is not a game
 Don't get in my way
 You don't wanna say no more than a mime you can't afford
 And you don't wanna let this turn into lines of mine and yours
 And you don't wanna press your luck, better back up and withdraw
 Cuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n' claw
 And you don't wanna see inside the mind of a savage kind
 And 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 try
 Just think before you act because your actions don't rewind

 Poisoned by the snakes in the grass
 Hoaxed by the rats out the maze
 They shoulda never poked the lion as he passed
 Cuz now it's two hawks in a cage
 This a tale of a cautionary kind
 This a story of that Icarus design
 This a message from the hanged man's twine
 This when mother nature rips apart the fault lines
 And this the type of thing that make a grown man cry
 When feeble of the spine crumble underneath the grind
 When blessings of the meek lead to lessons of the blind
 When heaven shows its teeth and the planets are aligned
 So amusing is the feeling as they race off
 Got 'em musing from the pressure as I chase off
 Should have thought it through before we turn to face off
 Now this fool sounding like he gone and turn his bass off
 This an ace call, cut the game short
 You don't wanna have an escalation of the maimed sort
 And you don't wanna feel the flame that burns pride
 Now you know the reason why those sleeping dogs lie
 Long way down when your head is in the clouds
 And all around the sirens play
 Don't get in my way
 Don't tell me I should bow
 Cuz I'm no clown
 This is not a game
 Don't get in my way
 You don't wanna say no more than a mime you can't afford
 And you don't wanna let this turn into lines of mine and yours
 And you don't wanna press your luck, better back up and withdraw
 Cuz trust me when I tell you you don't want that tooth 'n' claw
 And you don't wanna see inside the mind of a savage kind

 They sicker than a wicked man's whip
 Victims of they hype and of the sycophant's lip
 And underneath the money and the power is the tip
 Of something very dangerous and it's strengthening its grip
 And I don't have to tell 'em that they turning pale with albinism
 I am not their keepers, but I keep my own morale
 And isn't everything we do just a matter of decision?
 So if life is just a prison then I'm breaking out this minute
 This an epidemic of the vultures in the playpen
 Weasels with a smile and a guile that leaves 'em vacant
 Businessman sticking up the layman out the gate, and
 Thieves wearing suits, but they can never fool the vagrants
 And con man bringing 'em treasures of fool's gold
 CEOs grinning from swindling stocks cold
 Politicians trading their morals for blindfolds
 And cowards step aside as the criminal mind holds
 Welcome to the jungle where deception is the code
 Brother fighting brother as their avarice corrodes
 See that evil, speak that evil, be that evil bold
 You are not your own and love's a memory of old
 One nation under fraud, the anthem you applaud
 Well, let this serve to warn, I won't enable or reward
 And let the flies swarm, let the noble die strong
 This is my scorn, new day, new dawn
