This is Showtime at the Gallows

Yo
I dialogue with Amen-Ra 'til he gives me the nod
And replaces me with a supercomputer automaton
I don't barter for time I'm a martyr to rhymes
And a selfless soldier with pride that was ordered to die
A burning star in the sky, my heart is warped with a drive
Expressing thoughts through a rhyme, my metaphors are alive
It's like I've been crucified, they 'Hate Me Now' like Nas
They punctured me through my side, the bleeding was cauterized
I was revived after I died
Only then I saw how I was truly admired and worshipped like a god
It had mired up my mind and showed me a sign
I fell off the ocean liner, someone throw me a line
Let the world know the truth but it became my demise
You know we're even I don't owe you a dime
Sometimes I feel like killing myself, they've stolen my shine
I wanted to be the illest for a moment in time
From the ink to my pen to my pad to the ink in my arm
How could one diss song possibly last this long?
Tyson ain't the champ no more, them days is gone
And Rip the Jacker ain't too stubborn to say when he's wrong

I should get twenty dollars and go to Econolodge
And tie the sawed-off's trigger around the doorknob
Call the police squad and tell them I'm in room 1-0-5
And that a dirty bomb's inside
Woke up in the cargo plane
Playing Christy Lane for some entertainment while I train in the misty rain
'One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus' is playing
I'm sitting there praying, you probably can't believe what I'm saying
But the voice in the back of my head keeps saying, "Germaine
This is the real deal, man. This is not a dream. This is not a game
The only sixteen you've got for now on is locked and loaded and in your hand
Deploy and detach on land. You're the man
And the pain is the weakness leaving the body, understand?"
And reload with a full pack. Call COMSAT
