I'm from DC in a place where folks living life real gritty...//
Tha city where muthafuckaz live life eva so swiftly...//
Life extractin of attractionz for childish actionz, innocence and such...//
Satanist practice...in tha absence, of mah feelings got me sinfully touched...//
My life was pain, itz tru definition, plastered with agony and tribulationz...//
publicationz, demons ever so flagrant...fillin mah heart wit vexation...//
anger befriending mah soul...ever so close to being in Lucifer's grasp...//
Homicide clouding mah senses, but tha Holy Spirit'z presence held me back...//
never had a father...call it immaculate conception...tha way Im flexin...//
lyrical weaponz...testing...strength and...detection weakness as a sixth sense and...//
been lead in demonic directionz...since birth...but lyricism opened mah eyes...//
that smiles are lies...convert mechanisms 2 conceal tha cries...//
which lie...in our hearts as tha only natural thing God gave us to express...//
Considerin thiz artificial utopia of earth has left itz childrin in a mess...//
prayin im blessed...more likely jus 2 see anuther day and be accepted...//
2 heavenly gates...and 2 be in his assembly subjected...//
