Lyrics

I don't know, I just think that's hella exploitive
You know, you taking these metaphors and just butchering
Icons in the urban community
I don't know, it's like you sucking 'em dry
What are you, some kind of a vampire or something?
Yeah, yeah, that's what you are
What a, what, a ghetto vampire, that's you
So where did all this come from?
Think back, try to remember
Think back, try to remember
I used to sit at the right hand of God in light and splendor
Lavishly spreading love, that's all I remember
As time passed, his eye catches miracles
He taught me everything except for to mold man
And breathe the breath of life
I tried to just accept he's my savior
But jealousy forced me into sacrilegious behavior
Enraged like I was no threat I hated God's laughter
Waiting for the day the apprentice becomes the master
I'm cursed and damned now to be a creature of the night
Unliving yet living off blood, fearer of the light
But I don't give a fuck right because I'll live forever
I'll see you all come and go and die
And burn and watch the world still turn
Evil entity, time is resenting me
Thousands of years later I must conceal my identity
A vampire
New heights, where it's so dark you need candle lights
To expose the black plague my left hand writes
Nights enveloping and developing
Pictures in your brain like a dark room
In eerie monasteries where I spark boom
A cartoon style smile smirks
Half my emotionless killer clowns and mask
Perhaps relax the bats they block the moon
Nocturnal, high off the herbal prowlings back streets and projects
Illest ****, coolest slang dialects
Bite marks are what you feel if you're my victim
Poison's golden seal couldn't heal from your system
Nuts bust down the throats of mad crack heads
Feed off who I please, fuck it, cops kill black kids
Sometimes I wish I could stop the death, the pain and the sin
But I'm fucked, I crave the life essence that humans contain within
As the lightning strikes the steeple of your family church
I beg forgiveness from God but it never works
I know my soul ain't going to heaven when I expire
Recognize the immortal ghetto vampire
I slit your throat and watch you shit if I desire
Recognize the immortal ghetto vampire
Bear witness to the sins of wicked messiah
Recognize the immortal ghetto vampire
Who cannot sleep 'til God is dead and the whole earth's on fire
Recognize the immortal ghetto vampire
Running from the sun by day
It's becoming quite obvious to the people surrounding me
I'm the wildest, untamable blood luster
Plus the high school yearbook photos that I took in '89
Show no sign of a face of mine
Intertwined my mind is a jungle full of cobwebs and tangled vines
In a glass maze, even my closest friends are becoming afraid
Of how I predict and rip happenings and events
Prom dates found neck punctured, blood depleted then lynched
That's just how I fucking express myself
When I consume your blood and leave you
Dead, sorry, it's just to keep my health
Dark forces, police get nauseous from my trail of corpses
No sanctum of heart, no holy water, and no priest with crosses
A woman's mind gets clouded by my handsome mannerisms
Listen, obsession's bigger than Jackie Gleason's aneurysms
You caught up when my piercing eyes stare right through you
Stronger than the straightest greatest ancient Haitian voodoo
My unholy presence disturbs animals and children
Built a sacrificial altar behind an abandoned building
My sense of smell is heightened, my sight is razor sharp
Serene as Thorazine when I remove your beating heart
And then the blood starts
Flowing, now I got your soul without you even knowing
Lying in a staircase covered in piss, body decomposing
I turn on sirens and I perpetuate gang violence
I'm the devil that got Malcolm X sleeping in silence
Factual, I poison anything that's natural
I kill love and I'm leaving her frozen up just like it's a statue
Vampires walk among us sucking life from our city
Keeping us in constant states of insecurity
The police watch 'em, they all be ghetto vampires
The government check 'em, they all be ghetto vampires
Churches and ministries, they all be ghetto vampires
**** slangin' that shit, they all be ghetto vampires
Money hungry bitches, they all be ghetto vampires
The whole school system, fuckin' ghetto vampires
The fuckin' media, they all be ghetto vampires
Now who's a vampire?
