zebrahead-the walking dead
I’d rather be dead than to live like this
Than to just exist a hand and no fist
See the walking dead around me
Waking up and breaking down before my eyes
Rather be dead, rather shoot and miss
Rather die for a kiss than to live like this
Hear the walking dead surround me
Giving in and giving up because
[Chorus:]
We’re all doing fine
And we’re falling fast behind
I don’t think we’ll be the same again
We’re losing our minds
We’re all doing fine
Is there anyplace to hide?
I don’t think we’ll be the same again
We’re losing
We’re losing our minds
We walk tonight
I’d rather be dead than to have no hope inside
Watch my will bleed away and my soul divide
Feel the walking dead around me
Getting closer moving farther from the light
I’d rather be dead, stay alive to find
Somewhere I belong, someone to call mine
See the walking dead surround me
See the life and see the death and now
[Chorus]
Reach out
I never get it
It’s just out of reach and
I watch it slipping away
Reach out
Just forget it
It’s never good enough
It’s never going to be the same
Oh ya’ll motherfuckers thought it was over huh?
But it’s not.
You didn’t count on the fallen angel getting back into the grace of God and coming after you.
Ya’ll niggas ain’t shit.
Your producers ain’t shit.
Your fuckin A & R ain’t shit.
I’ll fuckin wipe my ass with your demo deal.
Yo, Diabolic. Take this motherfucker’s head OFF!
[Diabolic:]
Go ahead and grip glocks
I’ll snap your trigger finger in six spots
You’ll have to lip lock with hypodermic needles to lick shots
I’ll watch you topple flat
Put away your rings and holla back
Can’t freestyle, you’re screwed off the top like bottle caps
Beneath the surface, I’m over heating your receiver circuits
By unleashing deeper verses than priests speak in churches
What you preach is worthless
Your worship defeat the purpose
Like President Bush taking bullets for the Secret Service
Beyond what ya’ll fathom
I shit on cats and jaw tap 'em
Show no compassion like having a straight faced orgasm
Tour jack ‘em, have his half a ten bitch suck my friend’s dick
In the mean time, you can French kiss this clenched fist
Diabolic, a one man brigade spreading cancer plague
Fist fucking a pussy’s face, holding a hand grenade
So if I catch you bluffin’
Faggot, you’re less than nothing
I just had to get that stress off my chest like breast reduction
[Immortal Technique:]
You motherfuckers are nothing, you cannot harm me
I’ll resurrect every aborted baby and start an army
Storm the planet, hunting you down, 'cause I’m on a mission
To split your body into a billion one-celled organisms
Immortal Technique willll destroy your religion, you stupid bitch
You’re faker than blue-eyed crackers nailed to a crucifix
I’m 'bout to blow up like NASA challenger computer chips
Arsenic language transmitted revolutionary
I’m like time itself, I’m gonna kill you inevitabely
Chemically bomb you, fuck using a chrome piece
I’m illmatic, you won’t make it home like Jerome’s niece
I’ll sever your head diagonally for thinking of dissing me
And the use your dead body to write my name in calligraphy
This puppet democracy, brain washed, just psychology
So you’re nothing like diversity without equality
And your crew is full of more faggots that Greek Mythology
Using numerology, to count the people I sent to heaven
Produces more digits than twenty-two divided by seven
You’re like Kevin Spacey, your style is usually suspect
You never killed a cop, you’re not a motherfucking thug yet
Your mind is empty and spaceous
Like the part of the brain that appreciates culture interracist
Face it, you’re too basic
You’re never gonna make it
Like children walking through Antarctica, butt-naked
immortal technique-leaving the past
They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it
Reality is nurishment, but people don’t believe it
I guess its hard to stomach the truth like a bulimick
its a dirty game and nobody is willing to clean it
But this is for the paralygics, people dreamin’ of runnin’
ladies married to men who dont please ‘em, dreamin’ of comin’
urbanly murderous like David Berkowitz when I’m gunnin’
Some cowards on the internet didn’t think I would sell
scared to talk shit in person, cuz they stuck in a shell
and couldn’t understand the pain of being stuck in a cell
Hell is not a place you go, if you not a christian
it’s the failure of your lifes greatest ambition
It’s a bad decision to blindly follow any religion
I don’t see the difference in between the raw and the wrong
Soldiers emptyin’ the clips at little kids and they moms
I’m just like a desperate motherfucker strapped to a bomb
Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong
by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong
Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin’ a song
I’m not controversial, I’m just speakin’ the facts
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back
and shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack
And since life is a gamble like the crabstables at Vegas
I freestyle my destiny, it’s not written in pages
[Verse 2]
I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be
as if our peoples history started with slavery
Painfully I discovered the shit they kept us secret
this is the exodus like the black jews out of Egypt
I keep it reality based wit the music I make
brought the truth to your face with the style I run wit
like the navy missile that shot down flight eighthundred
I’m like the africans who came here before Colombus
and from the 15hundreds until after the model
I watch Latin America get raped in the sorrow
You see the spanjards never left Espace the Cologne
and if you don’t believe me, you can click on Uni Mission
I never seen so much racism in all of my life
every program and newscast, all of them white
It’s like a part tide with 10 percent ruling the rest
that type of stress ‘ll make me put the fucking tool to your chest
Step in my way nigga, I wouldn’t wanna be ya
I burn slow like (a) pissing drunk with gonnorrhea
I’ll do a freak show in North Korea, burning the flag
while Jay Edgar Hoover politicians dress up in drag
Try to confuse you, makin’ it hard to follow this:
capitalism en democracy are not synonymous
You swallow propaganda like a birth control pill
sellin’ your soul to the eye on the back of the dollar bill
But that will never be me, cuz I am leavin’ the past
like an abused wife with the kids, leavin’ your ass
Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin’ the stash
unbreakable Technique leavin’ the plane crash
I’m out with the black box and I refuse to return
I spit reality, instead of what you usually learn
and I refuse to be concerned with condecending advice
cuz I am the only motherfucker that could change my life
[Ending]
Some people think I won’t make it
but I know that I will
Escape the emptiness
cuz that shit is slow and it kills
the flow and the skill
I made y’all believe that it last
You can make the future
but it starts with LEAVING THE PAST
