Run For Cover
(intro)

You have 7 more seconds to decipher your life
Before my tongue becomes a blade & your brain gets sliced
I warned you before, i'm addicted to war
I was praying for armageddon on the day i was born

(v.1)

Incite & ignite
Cried my muse
Elevating IQ's as i enter the room

It's elemental
Defying gravity with these
Lyrical miracles & street philosophies

It's the chosen child
Destroying idols like i'm Gideon

Manipulating matter
Transfer data like a pentium

Processor, throw these rocks atcha
I be the queen weaving dreams with supreme lectures
Infect ya, lyrically dissect ya
I got control of your soul so no gods can protect ya

"you betcha"!
We can set ya free best believe that this tribe of mystery
Was born and bred to conceive

Brilliant galaxies of mind expanding poetry
Enemies know it's me, armed with mental weaponry

Ain't no testin' me, the tribe comes prepared to get live
You're just a drone to the hive, ain't no way you'll survive

Ravage
Vanquish
Mangle
Destroy

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER
NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

(v.2)

Ripped at the seams
I destroy galaxies

Word becomes flesh
I bring nations to its knees

So feel the blast as this broad casts
Out any doubt that real rhymes last

Its the voice of the apocalypse
The god of war

With Osiris' esophagus
An omnivore

Take you higher than the Krsna consciousness
From gotham to metropolis the lesser gods eradicates the obvious

We fight for all of us so get up off the ground
Weapon systems armed it's about to go down

IT'S FOR THE CROWN!
Ravage
Vanquish
Mangle
Destroy

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

(bridge)
Craven!

There will be blood
On my fists
On your face
On the ground around us

This is pain
Have a taste
I'm addicted to the rush

Of bruises & bloodstains
Dark god in my veins

I will hate it all away
No, nothing will remain

The enemy is me!
Your weak, ineffectual plebe!

Even jesus worships me
I bow down to none

Your little light is like a candle
Trying to outshine the sun

RUN FOR COVER
RUN FOR COVER

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE

Inside my mind
Where heaven & hell collide
You won't survive
Suck!
& swallow your pride
Suck!
& swallow your pride

No one gets out alive

The enemy is me
The enemy is me
