about

And since I basically admitted to an issue with the previous song, I decided to dive into my own personality in search for answers. With Writers Guild members Mega Ran and Big Penny attempting to avert the subsequent disaster.

lyrics

[RoQy TyRaiD]
I’m Dominick Cobb when that ominous top is spinnin’/
Submerged within thoughts, with earth I contrived a difference/
In search of Catharsis to purge all my problems with it/
Dreamt it or non-fiction, partner it’s my business/
Freeze frame mid-air, tattered clothes and cracked glass/
Blink of an eye, ground approaches that fast/
I’m back, I landed on my fist and kneecap/
Amidst, the crater and the mist, a King stands/
It’s The New Millennium Man all combatants fall/
I kick a simple nigga through a car into a granite wall and grab my balls/
I stabbed my flag atop the Matterhorn/
A Taurus, I ran my horn inside the matador/
Conformists. Construction foiled by the saboteur/
We lure ‘em. Amontillado and a plaster wall/
The horrors , of my imagination’s labyrinth all/
Antagonists’ll vanish, add their caskets to my catalog/
Inception, I’m protected my projections of my inner demons/
And reflections of aggression and uncivil reasonin’ /
Takes more than this session to confess upon my inner secrets/
And recollections I can’t delve into for legal reasons/
For you the stakes is raised, if I feel that my space’s invaded/
This place is changin’ [wake up!] , physical plane is cavin’ [wake up!] /
This my world, you just live in it/
Residency relinquishment’s imminent and you ain’t wanted here/

[RoQy TyRaiD]
I don’t think my mind’s something that I want to escape to
Break away from the shackles, unchain the restraints vacate from this caged zoo
I’m certified crazy, I pray that I wake soon
I can’t shake it
[Mega Ran] Okay, wake ‘em up
[RoQy TyRaiD] I can’t shake it..
[Mr. Miranda] He ain’t wakin’..
[Mega Ran] Try harder!
[RoQy TyRaiD] I can’t shake it!
[Mr. Miranda] He ain’t repondin’ !
[RoQy TyRaiD] I CAN’T SHAKE IT!!
[Mega Ran] Dunk ‘em
In a three piece tailored by Alexander Nervousu/
In a deep sleep, takes him away from all that he’s close to/
I tell him count the fabric that makes up a square of carpet/
To ensure that he can discern his location if he’s a target/
Dreamin’ but he’s twitches , so I know he feels it/
Reality and subspace intertwine like double helix and he/
Hits the safe for the documents but I’m not confident/
It’s pressin’, guards approachin’, the wall’s under pressure/
Doesn’t appear to be responsive/
Sinkin’ deeper to his conscious, she watches/
I pray to God that we ain’t lost him/
Gettin’ close to his time, only confined/
By those limitations of his mind/
I’m tryin’ to wake him up, time is takin’ up/
It’s too much, we move up to Defcon 4/
It’s about to be curtains, fate is yet to be determined/
Our only option is submersion, so dunk ‘em/

[RoQy TyRaiD]
I don’t think my mind’s something that I want to escape to
Break away from the shackles, unchain the restraints vacate from this caged zoo
I’m certified crazy, I pray that I wake soon
I can’t shake it
[Mega Ran] Okay, wake ‘em up
[RoQy TyRaiD] I can’t shake it..
[Mr. Miranda] He ain’t wakin’..
[Mega Ran] Try harder!
[RoQy TyRaiD] I can’t shake it!
[Mr. Miranda] He ain’t repondin’ !
[RoQy TyRaiD] I CAN’T SHAKE IT!!
[Mega Ran] Dunk ‘em

[Big Penny]
Wakin’ up in cold sweats, lookin’ all around the noon/
And I’m thinkin’ that it’s morning, but it’s really high noon/
And the wind is blowing hard, I think I’m in a typhoon/
Where the fuck is everybody at? I’m tryin’ to find a clue/
Man, I gotta make moves but my phone is out of service/
Not a person outside, yo, it’s got me feelin’ nervous/
There’s gotta be a purpose, yo, I think I hear screamin’/
And the screams are getting louder, man I think I’m still dreamin’/
At least, I hope I am because those voices sound familiar/
Somethin’ from my younger days and now it’s getting scarier/
Demons from my past life, can’t remember life/
Knuckles all bruised like I got into a fist fight/
Can’t believe my eyesight, my mind is playing tricks/
So, I gotta trust my instincts and try to move quick/
Man I think I’m getting sick, yo, I gotta find a way out/
Somebody let me out before I really start to freak out!/

[RoQy TyRaiD]
I don’t think my mind’s something that I want to escape to
Break away from the shackles, unchain the restraints vacate from this caged zoo
I’m certified crazy, I pray that I wake soon
I can’t shake it
[Mega Ran] Okay, wake ‘em up
[RoQy TyRaiD] I can’t shake it..
[Mr. Miranda] He ain’t wakin’..
[Mega Ran] Try harder!
[RoQy TyRaiD] I can’t shake it!
[Mr. Miranda] He ain’t repondin’ !
[RoQy TyRaiD] I CAN’T SHAKE IT!!
[Mega Ran] Dunk ‘em
