| This is Showtime at the Gallows
|
| Rip The Jacker
|
| Yo, I dialogue with Amen-Ra 'til he gives me the nod
|
| Or replaces me with a supercomputer automaton
|
| I don’t barter for time I’m a martyr to rhymes
|
| And a selfish soldier wit pride that was ordered to die
|
| A burnin' star in the sky my heart is warped wit a drive
|
| Expressin' thoughts through a rhyme my metaphors are alive
|
| It’s like I’ve been crucified they hate me now like Nas
|
| They punctured me through my side the bleeding was cauterized
|
| I was revived after I died
|
| Only then I saw how I was truly admired and worshipped like a god
|
| Shit’d mired up my mind they showed me a sign
|
| I fell off the ocean liner someone throw me a line
|
| Let the world know the truth but it became my demise
|
| Motherfucker you know we even I don’t owe you a dime
|
| Sometimes I feel like killin' myself they’ve stolen my shine
|
| I wanted to be the illest for a moment in time
|
| From the ink to my pen to my pad to the ink in my arm
|
| How can one diss song possibly last this long?
|
| Tyson ain’t the champ no more them days is gone
|
| And Rip the Jacker ain’t too stubborn to say when he’s wrong
|
| I should get twenty dollars and go to Econo Lodge
|
| And tie the sawed-off trigger around the doorknob
|
| Call the police squad and tell them I’m in room one oh five
|
| And that a dirty bomb’s inside
|
| Woke up in the cargo plane playin' Christy Lane
|
| For some entertainment while I train in the misty rain
|
| «One Day at a Time Sweet Jesus» is playin'
|
| I’m sittin' there prayin' you prolly can’t believe what I’m sayin'
|
| But the voice in the back of my head keeps sayin' «Germaine
|
| This is the real deal man this is not a dream this is not a game
|
| The only sixteen you got from now on is locked
|
| And loaded and in your hand
|
| Deploy or detach on land you the man
|
| And the pain is the weakness leavin' the body, understand?
|
| I can reload wit a full pack call COMSAT
|
| Tell them you need suppressive fire for troops in the back stat
|
| Insurgence and counter-insurgence move wit a purpose
|
| Absolutely mission critical you never get nervous
|
| Applicate the shock tube to the surface
|
| Standby blow it eyes open wit the scope on the terrorist
|
| Tell him to go to hell in Arabic put a bullet through his narrow neck
|
| Watch the wall behind him get wet
|
| I’m an animal I’ll murder you and stare at your pets
|
| Get the tape I know where the surveillance cameras is kept
|
| If you want a confession you got it, you want product? |
| Gimme $ 20 You want
|
| gossip? |
| I’ll give you logic on any topic
|
| Recordin' the positive data
|
| Rip is the best rapper go confirm the status
|
| One million page dissertation written on paper
|
| Cheap label from Pitney Bowes' tree curator
|
| My purification process is greater
|
| But thinly tapered verbatim
|
| My album is equal to over fifty acres
|
| Can-I-Bus before the Big Bang
|
| And after the big crunch I only gotta say it once
|
| Let there be light and I write a sentence
|
| The greatest discovery since 'opethicus afarensis
|
| Back to before Sumerians landed on the Canyon
|
| In the Cambrian carryin' bacteria with antigens
|
| And Nine-foot stone mannequins
|
| The key to nuclear power and Porta Libitinaria
|
| Showtime at the gallow, the Age of Aquarius
|
| And Space Harriers, life’s last barrier |
