Warrior of the Mind - Jorge Rivera-Herrans

He drinks orange juice and vodka In the basement while she's talkin' To someone long distance For hours and hours on end And as he's slowly sippin' He thinks about his children And the heart attacks that youngest daughter's Always given him He ain't smoke no marijuana Since he got on with the railroad And he's been on with the railroad for A long and loathsome while But the day that he retires He'll smoke himself to China He'll leave behind his worries As he races through the skies The days are dark Down in the holler Waitin' for the sun to shine On the back You have been breakin' Tryin' to earn A peace of mind She sells Avon to her buddies And saves a little money On the makeup she's been using To hide away the years And she sits and watches TV Usually every evening That there ain't some kind of ballgame That her daughter has to cheer She sneaks menthols in the mornin' While her family's still a snorin' And as she burns the Eggos She looks back at her life That heart she broke in high school He is singin' on the Opry She wonders what the hell that she was thinkin at the time The days are dark Down in the holler Waitin' for the sun to shine On the back You have been breakin' Tryin' to earn A peace of mind Their youngest daughter Stella She's runnin' with this fella That he can not stand the thought of That he surely does despise He's told her he best never See the two of them together But it's hard to keep an eye on her When you're workin' all the time There are things he needs to tend to And the bills the bank keeps sendin' Lord the zeroes on the end Keep pushing further to the right Like a freight train haulin' sorrow And movin' ever onward Through the tunnel of forever To the never endin' light

I exit out of my sarcophagus Fourth Horseman of the apocaplyse For my esophagus breathes evil that just demolishes Abolishes, to the darkness of Mephistopheles Mental enteral that went through an ancient acropolis Conquered this, from a fetus to genius Took DNA from the Shroud of Turin and cloned Jesus Merciless leaders, the 19th galaxy Born to a storm on the seas of Galilee Battle me and suffer whiplash from my apostles Leave you in shackles in the castle of Nosferatu Ikon is hostile and mortals cause contusions Hologram is known for placing poison in Christian communion Slash, with the actions of ultra-violence Crucifixions, in diction by Pontius Pilate I walk naked in the house of David with pride Force you to bleed just to make sure that you're still alive Crystallize, we keep it live, y'all can't see me Banish satanic verses like Ayatollah Komeini I break in half, Satan's staff with ancient math I wait and laugh, create a fucking blood bath I bring the gory oratory yes demorally derogatory Mad expository expedition in your auditory Categories don't apply Your mind's eye is blinded by my battle raps Like cateracts your habitat is Halifax Once I run you out your native city Shea's committee is pretty witty we show no pity I deflate then separate wack MCs who replicate Every trace of Esoteric found up in their record crate I devastate, homosapian metabolism Like human catacalysm inbreded with an anachronism My precision makes incisions on your acrotism Battling is a bad decision leaving you with aphorisms I whoop ass like masochism dominatrix That's the basics Hologram brought The Matrix To fake kids Fifty dead MCs to my credit Learn from the druid better known as Esoteric In this the final conflict high powers and commandant's to enlist this The fluid I spit is viscous Without so much as whispers And with the swiftness of what you transisted Can carry info, a window's left where your wrist is Directly cut by my discus Forged upon the anvils of Hephaestus ------ hand skills I slam your damn grill Execute in Greco-Roman holds Roll in Trojan battle gear Exploding through the atmosphere I saddle fear, read cerebral centipedes As evil steeds the feeble flee Holdings severed rapper's heads toward the sky as trophies Is to be viewed by the mischievious eyes of Loki I hated your verse so I went back in time And waved a dirk at your mother's warm uterus To kill you before you were born Like fried yolks my hands split the trunk of petrified oaks It's time to die folks You think that I joke I leave you die slow Your wrists are broken, tied to horses Quartered as forces pull you in opposite directions Dissection of my anatomy Will lead to the unveiling of what it shield In a tiny tyno wielding A giant computer body Which is similar to RoboTech Downloaded wreck From the million megabytes of rhymes that rest on Virtuoso's neck

Reaching out from my sorrows Far away from tomorrow How many seasons have we been together? How many reasons have we left behind? Now I don't know what to do alone with all this time It's up to you to realize I'm waiting for you right behind I need you now, just tell me how I can't get you out of my mind Can't get you out of my mind Just can't get you out of my mind Can't get you out of my mind Ooh, ooh, ooh I can't get you out of my mind It's getting too stronger, my feelings for you I can't get you out of my mind I'll try to be patient, don't want you to rush Just can't get you out of my mind You say we're not together But why do you hesitate? Oh, why? How many seasons did we stay together? (How?) So many reasons that we could've started Still, I don't know what to do alone with all this time (All this time, all this time) It's up to you to realize I'm waiting for you right behind I need you now, just tell me how I can't get you out of my mind Can't get you out of my mind Just can't get you out of my mind Can't get you out of my mind Ooh, ooh, ooh I can't get you out of my mind It's getting too stronger, my feelings for you I can't get you out of my mind I'll try to be patient, don't want you to rush Just can't get you out of my mind
