Seven seconds and your ass is mine, yo Seven seconds and your ass is mine Seven seconds and your ass is mine, yo Seven seconds and your ass is mine Seven, six, five, four, three, and two Seven seconds ago, smothered echoes of woe Disguised as a scream and portrayed in my dreams It had a nigga drippin' sweat, do you know what I mean? Really have you ever seen such a horrible sight That it seeps through the seams of your mind every night Where to God it gets hard just to turn off the light Not everybody's blessed with the gift of rest Some have troubles, weighin' heavy like a hole in their chest Stand like a man, grin and bear it at best Searchin' for solution, some set upon a quest Never findin' what they seek and losin' self along the way Empty souls never sleep, it's a hell a price to pay You'll be meetin' wreck tomorrow if you sold shit today Seven, six, five, four, three, and two Never thought it'd come to this, ruptured moments of bliss Always being fucked, never gettin' a kiss Close your eyes, cross your fingers, hold your breath and make a wish Predators and prey, they just exist that way Hopin' Mystery Man will send a blessin' their way Ascend to the sky in a burst of flames Serve themselves salvation for material gain If you can't see or touch it I suggest that you remain In a state of mind that's eternally inclined To question what is real and leave the fables behind Seven, six, five, four, three, and two I saw a man the other day, he had the Devil in his eyes Ruled a great land with a system based on lies Some they knew the plan but none were the wise No matter how they tried, none could make him break the guise Most were kept quiet with material wealth And a well-contrived image of superior self Some they had faith in the promise of a chance Every mornin', 9 o'clock, the bell would ring and they would dance Others beat the game and knew the cards were stacked Underground, they made the game but always watched their backs Periphery ones with no money to spend Found they didn't even count and they were never havin' it For some reality and what they see is too much Retreat to any bottle, bag or vial they can clutch Escapades and phases many mental mind trips And safety nets for over-privileged brats that slipped About the ones on the bottom, they could never exist Seven, six, five, four, three, and two Seven seconds and your ass is mine, yo Seven seconds and your ass is mine Seven seconds and your ass is mine, yo Seven seconds and your ass is mine Seven seconds and your ass is mine yo Seven seconds and your ass is mine Seven, six, five, four, three, and two
