Microphone assassinate, meaning I strangle XLR’s
I need a room but not to rent,
I’ll be gone before the scents detected
And so im emptying bottles,
Keep the king crabs in a five gallon Home Depot bucket,
Think back to where you want rap, these balladeers
Get to gun-clappin, no not really
They on some dumb ass shit,
Like I give a fuck about snap-backs
My aztecs bolas snap-back and clack,
When they wrap the loop around your shoulders
like a noose
It’s the Ultimate Warrior
Screaming live long and Fuck YOLO
I wear a crown of thorns made from bitter brambles,
Your auto-corrected bullshit
Sound like Barry White singing soprano
It aint right
luckily I kill ‘em swift like a king cobra
Stick-shift the 8ball, send em a memo as friends
As darkness is setting in, you’re were open as
if I was giving you hallucinogens
What I speak on is random amble through this arkham homicidal
Its hard to mention my name without its proper title
Grandfather…the Incubus will grow inside you
Mantis the voodoo child, born on the bayou
They said you couldn’t find him
Lurking like a spider in the lining
With siamese connections to the afterlife
Requires sacrifice mac the knife
Fire pit grab the apple give ‘em poison capsules
Blood drips at the azumeth
The sun sets, but the moon it also rises like the undead
Terrordome faces frozen like shrunken heads
--
Injecting dirty krokodil… beats return headless
Scheming like a jackal in an elephant graveyard
Sorta like a king speaking to his ancestors
Telling em be strong and leaving them with sang-froid
Vaingloriously siphoning the spirits from the heavans
“Taking heroism back to its fucking essence”
Back to huffing methods, and traffiking deception
Walk upstream blood hounds howl for blood letting again
Microphone assassinate, meaning I strangle XLR’s
I need a room but not to rent,
I’ll be gone before the scents detected
And so im emptying bottles,
Keep the king crabs in a five gallon Home Depot bucket,
Fukkit..
Im steady getting worked up over nothing
While they talking hard and pantomining bout as hard as panty-liners
Fantasizing that something riteous was happening
They were talking ‘bout burning of bibles and riding dragons
That’s some heavy metal shit
for any rapper who aint Mantis
You ain’t Mantis

You inject my poison want that dope up in your body,
Body up in your body, up in your body
You inject my poison want that dope up in your body,
Moving, up in your body, up in your body
You inject my poison want that dope up in your body
Wanna travel, beyond that party rock on with the grandfather
M-A-N, stressing in a second ok T-I-S’in
blind and deaf then all the better,
to impose my code ingested
Yo mantis whats the problem?
They aint really come to party
They’re in bathroom getting nosebleeds
while im puffin and passing OG
Plucking diamonds off of gold teeth,
you know im holding weight
to really impress ya veins all your debts you must
reclaim so
You inject, want that flow up your mental
proper balance like a sound system
pumping out them decibels
Brown bag corner corner puffing on that bora bora
burning Lincoln’s pour a little something for them fallen soldiers - listen
Infected muddy waters crystal methods of the father
taking over your pains forgotten..
Break ya focus
I swear I should’ve taken a pill like grown-ups
Instead of milligram finessing
I swear I should’ve blown up, but dime a dozen rappers
powdered they nose up got on stage lost
pantomiming sucked often and slow painfully
Offed em so painlessly
Lethal connection from the riverside injection
Cruise the villas like im investing in and
dealing with methamphetamines,
But now yall tripping, I only rap and flip the evergreens
How many rappers you know pack this kind of revelance
Type of shit have a jazzman afghan bubbling
Inject yourself, feel your soul rise above yourself,
You’ve done some drugs
but now you’re ready for that proper buzz
I’m taking profits and reinvested in the art of elevating
them pounds and transmitting to the outer realms
You inject my poison want that dope up in your body,
Body up in your body, up in your body
You inject my poison want that dope up in your body,
Moving, up in your body, up in your body

Orbiton a fell star composed of sound
Reveal the tonics that heal like an alchemist
Feel sonic vibration
Elements of Spock fallen,
And risen like a c-c-comet
Put it right on down to where the scheming was
Sickle cell anemia and anathema spreads
The sycamores is jealous again
Of the reach we got
But I see each shot
Farsight in the periscope with allegiance
Even on the darkest night, illuminated
Like astrologically signing the stars
The stars screaming back at me like I’m a satellite
So far in this perilous paradise
Where bullets shine like peridots
So naturally I cloak my mind my past unknown
The cyber punk hero was bumping from the zygote
The iron cloak descends
Who am I, check the bible
Delivering with a fine brogue
that’s why I took the high road
Ever since I wandered up to the mic forced
to hold the thrones of many higher lords
endorsed like Mike so of course they jealous
They shooting the breeze in successive spirals
Blind minstrel leads prime minister, again like Tiflis me
But still I’ve got the soul of a million man march in me…
--
You looking at me funny, it’s not my fucking problem
Call up the hazmats this here is a not hobby
People compare me to Manhattan Project
The way I split bars is nothing short of godly
Shadow Monks the Nazarene
A bunch of drummers me and Tpops and Ale
Were all in… and we are still…
Orbiting a fell star composed of sound waves
Reveal the tonics that heal like an alchemist
Feel sonic vibration
Elements of Spock fallen
And risen like a c-c-comet
You looking at me funny, it’s not my fucking problem
Call up the bomb squad this here is a not hobby
People compare me to kamikazes
The way I spit bars takes me closer to godliness
