MR. LIF - Post Mortem lyrics

(feat. 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...
