Oktober - "At Sundown" [Verse 1: L.I.F.E. Long] Hold up For a minute. Let's get it straight. We ain't the ones You need to hate. Coming from the left field but it's still Right like when I write, touching souls with pure in- -sight. Everything comes out once the energy is release Adrenaline filling in what's missing from the East West, South, and North coast, touch glasses and toast Flammable tongues speak words just to roast It's freezing. Everybody with their ice raps Y'all ain't got platinum plaques to match them [?] Overthrow you [?] just for feedback. How many Wigs need to get pushed back before necks crack? And then you get the point. This ain't your average, everyday Joint. Talking 'bout you're this and that, get pimp-smacked Move like rush hour over any track Swiftly through the airwaves, increasing my street buzz Shut your shit down quick like undercover fuzz. It's bugged How many artists become moving targets? Who's killing us while shining in the market? Them the Murderer. Time's ticking once you blow Everybody wanna tip over your boat to overthrow. I'll never Let go, keep a firm grip. You know the Number One Out the five-finger death clique. Leave brains fried Like an ecstasy, acid, mushroom trip Start the race, fire the starter pistols, trans- -form words to heat-seeking missiles catching those Not aware, blind to what's living. I'm working on me Killing the formats from the beginning. Whole world's Spinning, Babylon soon fall like Jericho. Trapped In an Ice Age, watching clouds snow. The chosen Ones with a mind that's golden, unfolding crea- -tivity, promoting positivity, consciousness Fully awake—no debate—repping the meaning behind What I create [Hook: Samples with Scratches by Spier1200] "L.I.F.E.

Long] Let's get it popping, show you the dealie. Cards face- -down, playing big dogs—feel me? No time for much Talk. Walk the walk, avoid white lines like Getting outlined in chalk. Chickens flocking while the Vultures playing hawk, so my back is guarded even when Forward, keep a lookout for [?] expectations [?]. The sorcerer chef cooking up surprise Soufflés, recipes to satisfy those who Want and crave. Some rant and rave while others fall amazed Enslaved by the rhythm reconstructed for Golden Days, era of jazz. Now we hold the torch Drinking lighter fluid, when I'm sparked, I scorch Burn your back, spit with pure butane flames Leave a mark, craftsmanship like Noah building Arks [?] traffic in a monster truck that will park Rolling over terrains, crushing your frail-meat frame. I'm Crazy, in a straitjacket, bug-brained, wiling out Explosive, ready to flip, spazzing out. No [?]. Controlling my mic's what I'm about. Devise Plans of havoc, creating chaos, drama, calamity In the brinks of insanity, spit personalities Change identity, escape Shayṭān's plan and the D.T.'s van. Undercover brother gaining Fans from Arkansas to Japan. I'll snuff The deputy twice—never once ran. Fuck a Ku Klux Klan. Shout, "Black power." Gats cocked Ready to buck for final hours. Totally against this Triple-six system trying to overpower. That's why I'm Revolting like revolutionists. Fuck cowards with y'all "React later" mentality. Too many rap casualties Like, every year, shedding tears for another lost in The industry. Funny. Peeps dying, but no killers Found. We're surrounded by concrete walls [?] push it down. Got to fight out this struggle Find my paradise, bring a fire to melt Through the ice. Warrior Jah fighting against Evil for equal rights [Hook: Samples with Scratches by Spier1200] "Background with sharp cuts" - Sample from L.I.F.E. Long on L.I.F.E. Long ft.
