  • [Chorus: Dice Raw]
    Days are living fast, moves in misery
    You got a song you wanna sing for me
    Sing a song, singing man
    Sing a song, singing man
    Sing another song, singing man
    Sing another song, singing man
    Sing a song for me
    Sing a song for me

    [P.O.R.N.]
    Look, I'm so twisted, so, so twisted
    One life to live, and I'm willing to risk it
    Terror that the world has never known existed
    Left so many clues, now how could they miss it?
    Sadistic, ballistic, find a word and pick it
    Long as it means the world is on my shit list
    Walking time bomb, my mind is on tick-tick
    Countdown's on, its too late to nix it
    I'm so anxious, so, so anxious
    The ones I hate barely know what my name is
    Have no clue that I'm armed and dangerous
    Willing to spill my blood to be famous
    Willing to spill my blood to make changes
    Look for a suicide note to explain this
    Heinous, inking the ache from my anguish
    Sounds insane, you're speaking my language

    [Chorus]

    [Black Thought]
    One for the pressing, two for the cross
    Three for the blessing, four for the loss
    Kid holding a weapon, walk like a corpse
    In the face of transgression, military issue Kalash
    Nikova or machete or a pitchfork
    He killing cause he feel he got nothing to live for
    In a war taking heads from men like Charles Taylor
    And never seen the undisclosed foreign arms dealer
    13-year-old killer, he look 35
    He changed his name to Little No-Man-Survive
    When he smoke that leaf, shorty believe he can fly
    He loot and terrorize and shoot between the eyes
    Who to blame, its a shame, the youth was demonized
    Wishing he could see rearrange the truth, to see the lies
    And he wouldn't have to raise his barrel to target you
    His heart can't give you the years of scar tissue...

    [Chorus]

    [Truck North]
    Uh, what you're witnessing is true dedication
    Charged by the call and the cause of the nation
    Countdown, minutes away from detonation
    A lifetime of grunt work, this is the culmination
    My manner, seems patient, inner rage lies
    So deep, I can taste it, let's sacrifice lives
    Past the first sensation, to paradise I fly
    Delusions are lighting up the midday sky
    The last days of mine spent in extreme secrecy
    Wolves dressed like sheep occur more frequently
    Too much faith to be scared, the petrified both fled
    Those who live fearing death, might as well be dead
    Towers of the occupiers, will soon fall
    Martyr or mass murderer? That's your call
    Mass transit or a mall? Who can watch them all?
    In the name of the merciful, sing me a song
