The Hard Way - Ill Bill, Slaine, Lawrence Arnell

The sun keeps shining

People keep trying me I can’t waste my time

The black four-five when shit get wild

You fuck around and lose your life

You thinking it’s a game

Cause people know your name

You gon' find out the hard way

I ain’t what you thought I was

I got a brand new feeling still A Brand You Can Trust

The Skull and Guns with the cap and the bandanas you love

Point your pistol at your enemy you stand and you bust

(BANG BANG) on these foes — it’s sucha animal rush

Got that old thing back it’s like you can and you must

That monarchy-anarchy's waking me and standing me up

Walking me around I’m ranting with insanity much

Too much for my own good (so I abandon these drugs)

But I feel like I’m fighting for my life when I’m writing still

I was feeling like my skills were heightened when I’m biting pills

(BREATHING) Pacing 'round the lab crushing white and pills

I got so much venom — FUCK LIFE if I might get killed

Then I might get killed — let me write this will

My head was fucked now I’m sober and it’s like that still

The same lunatic, giant gun the defiant son

I thought I told you I AIN’T DONE

You heard Slaine sober, I’m a cocaine boulder

Smoke dust with the Angel of Death, my brain’s vulgar

But my heart’s blacker than Bad Brains, see these last days

I’m in a bad place, homie, I need a damn change

A reignition, a new mission, a campaign

Kill 'em with success and bury them with a glad face

Meet 'em with a smile, tell 'em what you really think

Then beat 'em with a brick, then feed 'em to the pigs

Throw 'em to the roaches feed 'em to the spiders and snakes

Lies and fakes personify violence and hate

But I’m smarter now, I realize that drama is lame

And I own my mistakes, though my karma is pain

And that’s just the way of the world but what part of the game

Said I gotta stay the same way I was yesterday

I’m trying real hard to be the shepherd

But don’t push me up against the wall

That would be a motherfucking death wish
