Mr. Raven (2012)

Lyrics

[Chorus] Who's that, who's that rapping Who's that rapping at my chamber door? Mister, Mister Raven All up in my grill with the "nevermore" [Verse 1] Once upon a midnight dreary While I kicked it weak and weary Dark and cold just like Lake Erie Milkmen remix someone clear me While I nodded nearly napping Suddenly, there came a tapping Up like, "What?", this thunder clapping Stomping like the devil or a parish chaplain I dropped my Lovecraft on the floor Like Arthur Gordon Pym on a distant shore Open the window, let the fire escape Man in the alley, black hat and cape Twenty-pound bird lands on my sill Cold feet, cold eyes, gives me a chill Grim face, grim stare, death carnivore Quoth that raven, "Nevermore" [Chorus] Corvus corax come to settle the score [Verse 2] I miss Lenore, my Annabel Lee Taken by angels from me Alone with books, hey, that's me Harbinger of death visiting me I said, "Can I help you, evil prophet? If you got a problem, look, I'll solve it." He checked my hook, DJ revolved it Perched on Paellas, chalice dropped it "Tell me, sir, please, if you can Am I a good or evil man? What can I say, what can I do When will I be rid of you?" "Nevermore," quoth he at me Hating on this poor MC Satanic raven, Nietzche glee Screaming at me like Gordon Ramsay I jumped into my El Dorado And checked my Cask of Amontillado Call a nurse, disperse my thirst Put this process in reverse I wish I had some warning first MC Lars, 88 hertz Now I'll never ever be Sage Francis While on my grave this black bird dances [Bridge] The raven's eyes still have the seeming Of a demon that is dreaming Lamp light over him still streaming Hear me screaming, hear me screaming! My soul still floats there on that floor And shall be lifted nevermore Afflicted calm scratched up my door Canonized piece, US folklore [Chorus] Corvus corax come to settle the score All up in my face with the nevermore Found dead in the streets of Baltimore [Outro] Who's house? Raven's house!
