Mice

[Verse: Shahmen] The weight has been lifted I buried the knife (buried) Here comes the elephant carried by mice Here to marry the mic (marriage) The one tusk cut dipped in blood Now dare me to write (dare me) Watch a murder of crows Turn into a pack of wolves And prowl the streets for the feast they owe Fat sacks and a stack of gold Get blown and turn back to crows I hear evil I see evil, but I speak needle Full of medicine for all of these dead people Sight beyond sight Carry the eyes of a dead eagle treaded in the twilight Leather bag of bones browns when the sun is shown Ten fingers that have touched the globe Ten toes to the dusty road One skull made of bone 'bout to touch the throne Eskimo with an icepick Chipping icebergs down when I write shit Priceless life lives off papyrus High into the sky Catches fire and falls right into your iris Wipe the ash from your eyelashes And follow on the white rabbit Tonight you might catch it (catch-it) Been clinging on to madness But I finally built a kingdom from my passion So start to divvy up the cash and I pull the next world wonder out the back alley trash can A vision ever lasting They try to get em' but they couldn't build a prison that would trap him But in this land here the shaman's a king Better follow your dreams or fall deep into the hollow of rings I've gone into tomorrow it seems to suck the sorrow out, I spit my piece Wake up face up with a heart to get right And the world has gone wrong I'm darker than midnight But I'm brighter than Zeus' strikes from rolling these two dice Tell me the world ends well I guess we got tonight Dance on my own grave this ground is now sacred The art, well it takes time my hands well they take bread The engine in my heart starts to run in on hatred No one make it far in this world with the faceless Raise out the graves that get dated to fallen Goodbye for them now no I'm out for my callin' Staring out my chips 'bout to push them all in Standing on the cliffs one slip and I'm falling [Hook: Shahmen] x4 I wrote this one on Sunday with no sun rays Under a grey and blue sky thinking one thing Be a king by the time that the sun came Now I rhyme while it shines like gold plates [Outro] x4 Here comes the elephant carried by mice Carried by mice, ca-carried by mice Here comes the elephant Here comes the elephant Here comes the elephant
