Lyrics The Raven - CYNE

The Raven

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore
«Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,» I said, «art sure no craven
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!»
Quoth the Raven «Nevermore.»
Not magic tragedy in the win
Me and him seraphim while I’m out on the limb
Begin to the innermost, I boast, hoping to blend
Merging thought and love because I’m dying of sin
We do anything, calming down, no more tingling
I rap about future things, future is, future does
Goodbye innocence and as I smell brimstone
Ash on the ground, stone showing imminence
I do this ‘til the ghosts come, aligning with the star chamber
And see the same star that the Wise Men saw
Bearing gifts to it, I am Rick Rubin
Rocking with LL Cool, we down to move it
I am the last redeemer, a stranger without a visa
Living in a strange land.
Damn, take me back to Giza
So I can hold the Earth still when I research
The reason of the purpose of the hurt with a day to work
Damn, this is a last will and testament
No matter what happens to me, my words are still relevant
Soul’s still evident, works take precedence
My presence on this Earth is worth the view from Heaven—speak it
Fall gently ‘til the pain hits me
A rush of blood to the head—instead the rain just missed me
Walk tall with a big stick, the words I spit are forgiveness
I rip it ‘til you throw fits.
I spill blood ‘til I walk crip
I make lame niggas backflip with smooth criminal tactics
Amateur until you practice
You word players' last verse say I’m current to the happenings
Damn near fucked this, I lust for some justice
I feel the ether eat through all my skin and it sucks, bitch
«Why you wanna do like that and walk badly?»
Said the elderly man to the useless
Same day, math day.
Same shit, I hate fate
Change circumstance so I can dance on the moon base
Reach Mars to touch mothers, starships, and hardships
I’ll ride it ‘til the time’s gone, look down from up above
Double towers of Babel, my feathers are the darkest silk
Two wings I fling—no man can ever injure this
Fly away to joy.
One day, I’ll be at peace again
«Never more,» said the raven—goodbye to innocence
Since he ate the bitter fruit out the garden riot suit
‘Til the burner to your sweater, make another ‘til he’s dead
Years later, here is me—another hurting human being
Wonder why the serpent took the time just to ruin me dreams
, will we ever make it back to better weather?
«Nevermore,» said the raven—nothing else and see you later
«Nevermore,» said the raven
