The Crow |
Check out the scheme of a dream, thick fog all around me Standing in a tunnel of blood, hounds surround me Shadow of a child, my eyes visualize and figure |
And as you walked backwards the shadow grew bigger |
Temptation made me curios to follow it All fear in my heart, at that point I done swallowed it State like trance as I reach out my hand |
You wore an overcoat robe, face was disclosed |
Now was this a dream or reality |
I was about to become one of Satan’s fuckin fatalities |
In silence, I hear the wings of a black crow flappin |
The bird lands, then appears a man |
Very sleek in physique, stood about six feet |
Dispute was jet black I had to step back |
His dimeanor wasn’t pure, I knew this for sure |
He had a diseased look that the world couldn’t cure |
I’m forzen, the fear returned to my body |
Heart pumpin so fast, I thought I was goin into cardiac arrest |
I wake up in a cold sweat, wifey sleepin on my left sound asleep |
I peep around the room then I make a sudden jest |
A feather from a black crow was beside my pillow |
Was it a sign from God to repute for the things that I did in my lifetime |
Now my soul’s on the line |
I’m puzzled, spark up a Newport |
Then I take a fall in hell it’s the cancer |
Then I try and find an answer |
My wisdom that I’m droppin is- |
Is somethin like a doctor and |
Necessary like oxygen |
I’m seein who’s my opposite |
And who’s my aid in life |
So let’s attract and repell |
Third rate government they tryin to seize the world |
Day like a rose, the wind is blowin hard against the window |
Pull up the blinds there sits the crow |
I back up fast heart beatin massive |
Lost my breath, collapsin fallin on the mattress |
I went into a state of unconciousness |
Open my eyes up, I’m layin on the dark street |
Leaves blowin in the breezes, Jesus |
I on the street like a nightmare |
I take flight, a bird through the air |
While I’m wingin it I see all sorts of chaos |
Dead bodies, burned buildings turned over cars |
Uh-uh, seein visions of an all out war |
Territory factors, picture escape from New York |
Gun fire, blomb flowin, nerve gas a-flowin |
Just imagin whole race of Harlem gaurds showin |
Realizin I was havin out-of-body experience |
Return to my physical and wake up tense |
Layin in the hospital as I figured the riddle |
G-O-D was throwin at me paranormally so Givin sight beyond sight about the world we know |
A preminition that I saw through the eyes of a pro |
