Uh, Aye growing up
Ha, watching anime
Samurai Champloo.. Mugen!
Nanashi, Sword of the Stranger
And Zabuza from Naruto

[Verse 1]
The legend of the unorthodox
But master of the blade in his own way
The talented
Knuckle headed assassin
If it'll put food in my stomach and pay some cash
I'm on the path of the reckless
My past is catching up to me faster than I adapt to an enemies style when blades clash
Im tucking the pain
Until I thought my only friend died
So tonight
Im avenging his life
Out in the rain
If I had half a brain
I'd be a legend
But instead, I'm a pirate
Who walks the line of the Samurai
With a license to kill
And a life of violence
Who got a lighter?
Who ready to die?
Besides I?
Only thing is I've tried and still survive
My style is improvised
Empty my mind
Try to be water my friend
You'll drown in my way of life
No formality
Surviving
Questioning my mortality like...

[Hook 1] x3
These the tales of a Samurai
My poetry's deep as my sword
You hear the battle cry
[Hook 2]
These the tales of a Samurai
My poetry's deep as my sword

[Verse 2]
The red demon they called me
I made the blood spill
I don't remember too much about life before the battlefield
I wanna forget it all
But it defines me
I'm just a wanderer with no name
Call me Nanashi
This straw hat covers my eyes
But I wish it
Covered my past
It's waking me up at night
When serving the War Lords never think about wrong or right
Just think about your sword and never question who dies
Victory in the field
The biggest loss of my life
The reason my sword is bound to my side
Yo check it.....Never to slice
My vow until my story ends
This little boy placed in my path as my atonement
It'll never erase what I did
I'm seeking closure
Running from my life as a soldier
Hold up
Now I'm spilling blood over this child
My vow's broken
And now we have a bond
I'll protect it until I'm gone...like...

[Verse 3]
Swing The Executioners Blade
My cold symphony
They all heard of me
The iron from the blood of my enemies
Keeps my weapon in tact for all eternity
The demon of the mist in the midst of performing surgery
I had to slaughter my classmates
To be one of the legendary seven
My life ridden with dead men
Life as an assassin these targets that I'm accepting
Kill first
Kill later
Dont ask no questions
Hakku my only friend and I turned you into a weapon
I just want a peaceful death
But I'm buried beneath my wreckage
If I get a second chance
Hakku
I got a message for you
Thanks to Edo Tensai
We'll see it through
