Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two pairs of headlights
Cut a night as black as coal
I chase predatorily my prize
Down these old darkened roads
[Verse 2]
Panic stricken, hapless mother
Fearful for her pregnancy
In a grave miscalculation
She wildly yanks the wheel into a tree
[Verse 3]
See that big old God up there?
Well, He don't see me
I've prayed and prayed
And gone to church incessantly
[Verse 4]
In a daze, I find our newly bleeding host
Never goes quite as planned, this much I know
[Verse 5]
In violence absolute
I vault atop my gasping victim
She screams in fear for two
My knife, it's drawn so deadly sharp
[Verse 6]
In the backseat of her car
An infant's carved into this world
Not sacredly, not carefully
The child in hate belongs to me
[Verse 7]
See that big old stork up there?
He won't hear my calls
He won't read my letters, man
In this womb, no life at all
[Verse 8]
That what the doctors said
Said, why even try?
I'm shut down and I'm broken
Deep inside
[Verse 9]
Tonight,I'll use this blade
To get exactly what I want
The child within you, incubated
For nine hard-shipped months
[Verse 10]
The hopeful little angel
Bet he looks just like his mom
Targeted so carefully
In this lottery of sickness, you have won
[Verse 11]
The smell of entrails wrestling the nose
Gutted and splayed, to hell sweet mommy goes
[Verse 12]
In violence absolute
I vault atop my gasping victim
She screams in fear for two
My knife, it's drawn so deadly sharp
[Verse 13]
In the backseat of her car
An infant's carved into this world
Not sacredly, not carefully
The child in hate belongs to me
[Verse 14]
Oh no, the life, it's leaving mother's eyes
Aren't we surprised by the mere expense of this night?
[Verse 15]
I've been watching you for weeks
I know what sex the child will be
I know it's the perfect time for me
To seize control
[Verse 16]
In violence absolute
I vault atop my gasping victim
She screams in fear for two
My knife, it's drawn so deadly sharp
[Verse 17]
In the backseat of her car
An infant's carved into this world
Not sacredly, not carefully
The child in hate belongs to me
[Verse 18]
In this heart so destitute
There is a void that's lying stillborn
On the ground, discarded husk
I thank thee for your work
Second to none
[Verse 19]
You'll never know my name
You'll never meet your son
Your seed is mine and mine alone
In death, this deed be sickly done
[Verse 20]
See that big old God up there?
Well, He don't see me
He don't see me
