Death From Above

[Verse 1: billy woods]
Silver-lined clouds, gunmetal skies, high skynets, all-seein' eye
Hover above your hovel
Light catches a wing, shahids grab they shovel
Barney Rubble, war of the world
The sky is my roof like Kong in the jungle
You can die on the humble
A twist of the wrist, flick of the joystick
God is great, hellfire elixir at the stake
Smokin' records, twisted metal
Powered by Intel, call me Geppetto
The mini guns spin, pixelated people reap the whirlwind
Oh Lord who art in heaven, hallowed be thine aim
Your reality our video game
Lead showers, righteous rain
Whosoever digs the pit, battlefield earth, Star Trek
Tumbling from the firmament, Prometheus
Heads bowed in Arlington
Kill head like Parkinson
Their eyes were watching Allah while we hid in the sun

[Chorus: Spiega]
Cloud is my weapon
Lighting strikes acid rain
Dead man switch on the device
Snatch the plane
Redirect your flight
Skies is falling, no one lives, what fear of life?
Giving my life just to live in the light
[Verse 2: Kong]
I say my name in vains like cursing to the judge with nerves and power to give you life
In other words, time served
Take nerves like rhymes on his spirit
[?] the wax from his eardrums, [?] in his ear so he can hear it
At the finish at the bar with this Jane bitch
Smoke guitars and think about smacking the H she came with
A n***a don't say it
Arrange to change certain n***as arrangements
Find me in a different toilet with the same shit
Alcoholic changing lanes in the whip
With the lights off, slide up on the sidewalk, jump out like "Why talk?"
Let the 9 off around the slide-off
I stare down and get your eyes crossed for a baller, my fault
When he was with him, ear to the ground, told me skies was calling all aboard for him
Fifth was shot back when this fire, sat with me, smoke ganja
Wrapped in a book of swords, holy water dipped in vodka
I'm reaching higher, touch the floors, what's beneath me?
The illest thoughts ever spoke, the brief and not invisible man, but who can see me?
See me behind the blood the size the bottom of TP
Kong is a beast, easy, easy does he
When I swim through thoughts, I can't drown, it's an order
Cut plank about a half and a quarter, so I can jump ship
Prove it to the world I could walk cross waters. B

[Chorus: Spiega]
Cloud is my weapon
Lighting strikes acid rain
Dead man switch on the device
Snatch the plane
Redirect your flight
Skies is falling, no one lives, what fear of life?
Giving my life just to live in the light
I'm looking up
[Verse 3: Spiega]
Men travel the road to riches, I searched for the one that heaven offended
Asking the Reverend what happened to all my brethren
He said the path we search for is a test
And those who plan to go around 12 usually die at about 11
Answer your questions, I guess every breath is a blessing
Give and thankful, failed lesson still allow me to kiss my children
Searchin' the world for meaning or fulfillment means nothin'
If what you live for ain't what you die for, so how you livin'? I seen it comin'
For years beware of fake hugs
Faith slugs define truth in the air, I taste blood
Names define a person but there's too many to remember
So until a charge’s clear, I'll be gone
Till next November, send you a kite every once in a blue
What can I do with those slugs
Send my love into you
I miss you too, hugging my brew
Corking the screw, coughing for two
One for you and that chip on that shoulder, talking to you, stalking for who?
A peace of mind always starts off with a piece of mine
Usually ends off with a bartender keeping a wine
I see through blinds at all four corners
Hit a warning, play my station dust to dawn, face in the morning
It's worse if you don't know from who you running
But him, that's my man, he got half my fam, I know he's coming
[Outro]
How much evil must we do in order to do good? We have certain ideals, certain responsibilities. Recognize that at times you will have to engage in evil, but minimize it. I remember reading that General Sherman, in the Civil War, the mayor of Atlanta pleaded with him to save the city. And Sherman essentially said to the mayor, just before he torched it and burned it down, "War is cruel. War is cruelty."
