Mr Lif Post Mortem lyrics

f/ Akrobatik, El-P, Jean Grae





[Vast Aire]

Vision is blurred yo



[Mr. Lif]

This is the last chapter

Bombs hit who? Crushed what?

Over there? Oh my god, oh dear

I was hmm.. I think I was *h* movin somewhere

About to paint my fear bright glare not quite clear

Stay blinded to the light of possibilities

Think I heard the screams of those in my proximity

On how they started thinking wishfully

Guided by fear I`m suddenly aware

Please, is anybody out there?



[El-P]

It was a gentle fission kiss on my block

And hot light like a baby breathing sigh a terrain

And now my name is merely left

Suckin on brain exist before the final flash

The emotion of pretty details of a life I had passed

Now my warm night in Brooklyn is ash

Falling from the snot of loosies that I choked

Around the corner from class

Before the moments when the moon can move fast

Another summer slowly growing with the friendships

That would end with a blast

Or how the hours could so blissfully lag

She slid her tongue between my lips and I gasped

Told my dawgs and they laughed

Now we`re combining our cash at last

A pack of smokes and a flask

Hopeless liquor with a (??gas path a maa??)



[Jean Grae]

Convert to atheism denounce god pronounce religion dead

Faith in nothing trace my wrists with razors

I refuse to wait for the blades to erase my spirit

Death - faced with it - run to it - not from it

Swallow all the pills in the medicine cabinet

Chase it with a bottle of 151 hung mommy

Head outside the smashed windows in trash my hotel lobby

Break the grip off the time at last

I find I get to him up Wish I did more sinnin

Get a strap on run up in two women

Laid in the middle of a highway wait for pain to hit me

Still a can with people lootin screamin come and get me

Finally it was porn shop biggest gun crowded street

Blow my brains to hell - I`m gone - and let the devil come for me



[Akrobatik]

What`s the chance that I`d be one of the last ones left of my preceders

The Earth Crusher came before I could even conceive a fetus

But I did go from nothing to misunderstood elitist

Who tried to tell his people the lies instead of acting like defeatists

But what good is that? Cause we`re now all goin to hell

Like some kid playin in his class out talkin before the bell

I died believing in righteousness but I could have indulged more

Cause giving in to temptation don`t seem that raw no more

I heard some airline offered flights into space

I shoulda took it to see earth before they matched up the place

I thought I`d be alone when they finally came to get me

But nobody gotta miss me because they all comin with me



[Mr. Lif]

Our horizon was accessorizing we bred more need

Best believe this be the equation of greed

I need a new car and thus new breaks

Another tune-up with lube

Whatever`s put together shall be unscrewed

In times of famine we made more food

Food made more people

It`s all explained within the cycle of evil

Would I trade it all?

Cruisin down the highway on a bright summer day

Gazing out a plane to see the earth from miles away

Watchin the patriots win the super bowl

Grabbin that fumble from Ricky Prole

Or my stereo provided me with rhythm and soul

I don`t know, all I know is I feel guilt for

Every single thing I`ve ever bought and sold

I shoulda been at more demonstrations

Planted bombs in corporations

Murdered CEO`s and cancelled TV shows

Burned billboards and torn posters

I coulda read more

Finally I get to meet this god they left us dead for

And its ill, its power to the form of a bill

To which people killed by manipulated free will

Conscience be the crucifix a chopping block for poppycock

And I can feel our spirits drop upon these streets I oddly walk

Enough talk! Here`s my last chance to cherish a thought

My flesh is fully melted and my stomach`s in a knot

So to my love I hated to leave you alone

Parted my zone passion took me to places and my life was a poem

Baby I was on my way home about to catch a flight

Our meeting has dissolved in radiation and light

Love you gave me made me shine

You`re gorgeous with a powerful mind

You lifted my spirits and strengthened my spine

I`m at peace with my life cause knowin you was divine

You made me see eternal beauty in a world that was dying

Now we`re all ground by the grind

Out of luck and out of line, out of signs

And now we`re out of time...
