Lyrics

I landed on the ground

Took a look around

He's nowhere to be found but without a sound

I stood there silent, engulfed in violence

Embraced by shadows

My mind set: Battle

Standing in the courtyard

Right beneath the balcony

Hoping that my lady ain't a Valkyrie

Should one suggest that I be met by death

I'll fight til I've got no strength

Or there's nothing left

The gate was left agape

To the alleyway

The path where he escaped

But so silently

I could hear the wind rustle the vines

Amidst the dim street lights

The moon shines

This type of scene

Sniper scene

True that it might be him

But it might be me

Out through the gate I go

But kept low

Shift strictly to intuition mode

Cut my eyes left

Cut my eyes right

He's not in my eyesight

I'm ready for gun fight

The muthafucka made a dash and moved fast

I licked off a blast

It flew past him

He's a block away but I can catch him

Face bashing

New course of action

I'm gaining

Out here without training

Heart started pounding when I saw him blazing

Chorus

So amazed the ways that life could go

(x4)

Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this

Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss

(x2)

VERSE 2

Mr. Lif

He popped two shots

Though I thought he was out

Whizzed past my face

But I can't stop now

Feeling like a demon

Bobbing and weaving

I could have been struck man

I'm lucky to be breathing

Chest heaving

Adrenaline rush

Voice inside of my head says:

Inner Voice :

("This is too much")

("Hesitation

Doubt

Re-route

It's not too late for you to be out

You could see now

Drop the gun

You've already won

No need to bleed two

You just dropped one

He won't be back

This is over attack

You just ended a life

You're the owner of that")

Mr. Lif

Had to stop in my tracks

And put my back on the wall

If I'm invisible to him

Then that's the end of the brawl

With such a sudden withdrawal

I didn't know what to think

Then I realized that I survived a walk on the brink

On the edge of destruction

For sure pure panic

The gravity of this

Turned me to pure manic

I stood there

And finally felt fear

I'm sure back at the crib

My girl's in tears

I've gotta go back

But I did so slowly

Along the same path of fury

That blurred me

Who heard me?

All the neighborhood lights on

Now I hear sirens

Remnants of violence

Silence at the core of my mind

As I teleported back to the scene of the crime

Told my girl

"I'm here"

Open the attic door

I assure safety

After tragic war

As we embraced

She cried

She thought maybe I died

I'm glad that we're alive

But part of me

Partially

Parted me

I was barely even present for the hug

So please pardon me

My mind beams

Stages of dreams

Crazed as it seems

Survive by any means

I never really slept that well

After that night

Sunset

Now gets me set to fight

And it's wearing down even my relentless type

And it seems nobody can contest the plight

So I'm waking from nightmares

And even though the coast is clear

I fell into my own despair...

Chorus

Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this

Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss

(x2)
