BRAINTAX - Escuchame lyrics

[Chorus]

Escuchame...

It's like a long walk to China trying to reach these heads

See, the world around your body makes your brain stay dead

Stand around in thick traffic just inhaling some lead

I'm in the phone box breathing off some stranger's breath

No change left, I fed my last gold Queen's head

"Busy now" is all the message said, let me leave you

Let your brain cook, mobile – you're agile

Still hearing cancer rays until you're off-the-hook

My mindset stays steady, taking shelter in a hut

On a mountainside, ready for the wind and the ruck

I see a storm blow past with economic avalanche

Because the rich, fat nations try to cling to every branch

Me, I'm playing mind chess then Monopoly with stress

Flipping cards by the log fire with thoughts of death

Got a year's supply of Bics, hiding out in Deep Six

I'll emerge in twenty years when there's no cash left

But for now I'm back to basics, spilling out raps

Freestyling in the snow while I'm laying squirrel traps

It's survival; really none of us can pull it off

Just filling up the silence with my fresh air cough

See, I got theory off but now I'm losing my mind

The poisons in my blood are trying to make it to the outside

Outside – money and cars and more waste, detox

I'm displaced, fighting craving for that city taste

[Chorus]

Escuchame... "Survival got me bugging" – Inspectah Deck [x4]

And like I said I'm all in it like on live through life

Paranoia strikes, creeping out the forest at night

I like to sit back holed up, sharpen my knife

Learning all about myself but I'm missing the hype

It's survival; the helicopter left me with a rifle

But it rusted up so I'm onto snow and berry trifles

I sing aloud in my hideout cause no one can hear me

And nature's looking bigger and it doesn't fear me

Or any of my city ways, haven't said a word for one month

Hear my snow boots crunch through the wasteland

This could be a parallel to cityscapes

Where tree towers overpower and isolate many souls

Nature's like a friend until she turns cold

Those icy looks are icebergs on my tent pole

The IMAX is now live from the arctic

You can call me Braintax, now my verbal film's starting:

Reindeer, a target on the hill by the tree line

I move quick, this reminds me of the free line

Live simple, hunt-and-gather rules still apply

But we never turn to greed and death's a catalyst to life

CAN YOU HEAR ME?!

"Survival got me bugging" – Inspectah Deck

[Chorus]

Escuchame...

"Survival got me bugging" – Inspectah Deck [x4]

Escuchame... [x5]
