The Carnage Songtext
von Keith Murray

Yo, the streets is hungry, word
It′s time to eat, most definitely
Grab ya plate, word, get ya knives and ya forks, yea
Keith Murray, get ready

Yo, as I look out at the high rise
And right above my life into the sunrise
Lookin' at the smoke where the Twin Towers stood
Forty blocks away, forty stories high I could see it good

But we been at war and under attack
We got P.O.W. fightin′ to get back
(In jail)
And those affected by the poverty war
We pack gats front line and will endure

I go to bed with god and wake up with the devil
In a battle I blacked out and beat a man with a shovel
It's obligatory that you hear my side of the story
He had the face a fear shaken like a leaf on a tree


You just another potential casualty
This is a walk and corpse song and the beat is your conspiracy theory
And the time is getting more scary
So pack when necessary and say ya L.O.D., hail Mary's

Just because you came here
Doesn′t mean that you can stay
Just because you woke up this mornin′
Doesn't mean you could stay awake

Just because you came here
Doesn′t mean that you can stay
Just because you woke up this mornin'
Doesn′t mean you could stay awake

Yo, I'm the eye of a tiger, get inside the head of a liar
Give ′em pure hell brimstone and fire
This is MC cannibalism by connoisseur
From the lyrical lexicon matador of metaphor

Yo, from the little voice of my conscience
I might just leave your fuckin' ass unconscious
Yea, I seen you with that smirk on, you little fuckin' clown
I′ma turn that smile into an upside down frown


Produce chaos in the culture of the enemy
You would never posses the skills to defeat me
I be the all eye seein′, you hear it sporadic
I rhyme at will be on your ass automatic

With thoughts of power I rain thunder showers
I eat a lot of brain food and you'll get devoured
Manhunt chase of the night stalker off the leash walker
My dog is a fire barker

Just because you came here
Doesn′t mean that you can stay
Just because you woke up this mornin'
Doesn′t mean you could stay awake

Just because you came here
Doesn't mean that you can stay
Just because you woke up this mornin′
Doesn't mean you could stay awake

Yo, from the instinctual coming of the insect
To the mind of a genius and the heart of a prophet
To them bootlegged niggas, to the chicks that cop it
Ask anyone of them they know how the fuck or drop it

And coastin' constant motion, essential
With futition nuclear potential
You hear a cold whisper, can′t see the mask of a phantom
Acts wailin′ deranged assailant

I tame the rage, isolate, chase and kill my prey
Walk the lion outta the cage
And that's a part of life or should I say death
Reach in your mouth, snatch out ya very last breath

Searchin′ my subconscious for the meaning
I'm sweatin′ blood bullets 'cause my whole world is bleedin′
Ooh, now check how I come at you
I will eat you, defeat you, I'm parasitical

Just because you came here
Doesn't mean that you can stay
Just because you woke up this mornin′
Doesn′t mean you could stay awake

Just because you came here
Doesn't mean that you can stay
Just because you woke up this mornin′
Doesn't mean you could stay awake

Just because you came here
Doesn′t mean that you can stay
Just because you woke up this mornin'
Doesn′t mean you could stay awake

Just because you came here
Doesn't mean that you can stay
Just because you woke up this mornin'
Doesn′t mean you could stay awake

There′s no where you can run, no way you can hide
Your world is a cage and we are locked inside
So you might as well fight to survive, yea
