Black Eye - VERNON

Everything is still not a chicken not a body Just an awful sicken silence roarin' in my brain And the fog of death deepens and lies upon the land An ould wan rolls over on her back The grass stains still green upon her chin I can still hear her keenin' and screamin' in the wind God's curse upon you, Lord John Russell May your black hearted soul rot in hell There's no love left on earth and God is dead in heaven In these dark and deadly days of Black 47 God's curse upon you, Lord Trevalian May your great Queen Victoria rot in hell 'Til England and its empire answer before heaven For the crimes they committed in Black 47 Paudie says "Come on now Don't look back, she's not livin', she's a phantom And she'll curse us if we look into her eyes" Oh God, I think I'm dyin' the fever's in my brain For can't you see that pack of children up ahead? The beards of old men sproutin' from their chins Can't you hear their screams of hunger on the wind? God's curse upon you, Lord John Russell May your black hearted soul rot in hell There's no love left on earth and God is dead in heaven In these dark and deadly days of Black 47 God's curse upon you, Lord Trevalian May your great Queen Victoria rot in hell 'Til England and its empire answer under heaven For the crimes they committed in Black 47 [Incomprehensible] Darlin' Paudie save me, I think I'm sinkin' fast, me blood is boilin' Don't let me die here in a ditch If the hunger doesn't get me the fever surely will Paudie took me up and threw me across his shoulders He nursed me every day 'til we reached Amerikay Screamin' and shoutin' like two madmen at the wind God's curse upon you, Lord John Russell May your black hearted soul rot in hell There's no love left on earth, God is dead in heaven In the dark and deadly days of Black 47 God's curse upon you, Lord Trevalian May your great Queen Victoria rot in hell 'Til England and its empire answer under heaven For the crimes they committed in Black 47 [Incomprehensible]

Feat. Black Thought It's not latin, or white, or black music It's that cooked up coke, crack music Black Thought and Pharoahe, the rap duet It's that lucid rapid eye movement My think tank's like a piranha tank think, multiple bites figure Mega, reality, tera, giga Grand Theft Auto, modern day Mickey and Mallory Small But I'm sick enough to walk into an art gallery and piss on a Picasso Crack statues, rub my balls on her face, shit on it, and throw it at you So when the beat intensifies I become emotionally desensitized Like, once I slapped a rapper with mace Then I spit acid in his face, after he rinsed his eyes, no wait I actually grew five times my size grabbed mace by the thigh and slapped a rapper with him Now that's practicing sacrilegious activism Attack is for battle, and practical rap with wisdom Actually, it's pragmatic capitalism for actors that crack under pressure and collapse when I get 'em Monch is medicinal man made medical marijuana With a phase plasma rifle like I'm searchin' for Sarah Conner And shorty's got brains, shorty not playin' I'm 40 blocks I'm a killa with 40 watt range With an arrangement of bullets that I've arranged Encrypted in scriptures specific individual names That shall remain anonymous Me and the ammunition's in a relationship that's monogamous It's like I'm married to the silencer Until I file for divorce and release my ex-calibers Do art with your arteries, place that for my adversaries Put your snap back cap back, cap your capillaries like Woefully twice as magnifying as ever hearing Chewbacca scream Through a megaphone with the significance of Dr. King Philanthropic Cause I'm trying to see man united without referencing UK soccer teams My philosophy prophecy, the opposite of Mephistopheles I incited isosceles(?) Sent to Earth to warn of environmental atrocities, and nobody can copy me Stop, it's not possible but probable that it's only philosophical mockery, strange Change copper to gold, switch properties, bang! Stay on top of the globe, flip monopolies, aim Take stock in the soul, spit properly Take stock in the soul, spit properly That extended clip on my hip sits awkwardly I'm diabolical, follicle triggers that I cock and squeeze Sending shots to ancient Greece to pop Socrates I bear arms like button-downs without the sleeves Manic depressive and possessive like apostrophes My psychiatrist waive the doctor fees When I wave the pistol and say listen quick, watchin' me so I can breathe National Association for the Advancement Of drugs for performance enhancement And it's tough taking so many chances But I've been a bad seed from the womb, they call me ovary cancer And I got an ugly heart, although I'm totally handsome And I take the love of your life and hold her for ransom And my tactical cam (?) that never stood for any national anthems Was hood, I am the actual answer And I'll prove it Black attire, rapid fire, rapid eye movement I'm from a species that is higher, I am not human Extraterrestrial alien, a monster killer a (?) chillin' In a barrel of lobster Ex-Slave sadomasochist that gave the mass of my ass to kiss A dyin' breed, I'm the last of this Black is as miraculous as Jesus of Nazareth When I vocalize the crowd rise like Lazarus It's the Rhode Scholar, my cold collar piss off Peter Your hoes holla, he's on top of the bars Meet a Mr. Globe Trotter in my Adidas Pure cheetah, hoppin' out of this exotic European 4 seater Hollerin' cheeba cheeba like I'm park side Killin' is the dark side Villain, I'm God, I'm Godzilla Sometimes I'm Bob Dylan put blood on these tracks, for real So, God-willin' you'll feel what I'm spillin' Yeah, I never quit, I'm still syndicatin' up Me and Pharoahe Monch, still here for the benefit of us This is straight razor behavior, I never get enough Get the picture, my militia gettin' ignorant as fuck Yea, it's suicide murder Straight from the underground through the fiber optics Pharoahe, Black Thought, complete the cypher The movement outlandish

She was confused and abused in this life Emotional and violent moments seemed to take the longest time Every single knockout drag out fight they ever had Apologies and dignity denied He starts to laugh He starts to lie with suddenly psychotic eyes Every night she cried herself to sleep She didn't recognize her own face in the mirror Black and blue So afraid intimidation Like a child she hides away He would always try to justify what wasn't true Justified Black Eye Taken for granted she sleeps by the phone Waiting for a call from him But it seems he's never coming home 14 beers later he is there without an answer Once again she questions his lies He goes to bed with no reply Tomorrow morning different story and he'll be a different guy He'll justify her black eye with another lie She pack's her bags in great temptation He's on his knees again he cries A hug and a kiss and I don't know why, as a tear drops from her swollen eye Apologies until tonight and another justified black eye Justified Black Eye

It's the birth of a star, earlier than sunset It's the galaxy swollen, flowing like a river babe It's the rain, oh the rain Drawn upon this on my day Growing into a super nova Back to where we used to play It's an infinity, as I feast on time 'Cause it constantly leams perpetual desire 'Cause we worship the keeper The tide is going out now As we look out to see Legs sprawled and head down Yes they shine bright like a million, Let them blink twice for a minute Pleasure to have met you, you're my star tonight To have felt this oh sublime Like a grain of sand travelling through time Pleasure to have met you, you're my star tonight Yes they shine bright like a million Let them blink twice for a minute Pleasure to have met you, you're my star tonight To have felt this oh sublime Like a grain of sand travelling through time Pleasure to have met you, you're my star tonight We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye The time it took to realise What you say bears sweet on my soul Compliments with no surprises Making route straight to their home We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye Rusty man should improve this Not quite opting fury now Complications falling useless Alone and still I'm working out We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye We don't see eye to eye
