Artist: Tech N9ne f/ MAYDAY Album: Welcome to Strangeland Song: The Noose Typed by: mrmist@msn.com (Verse 1: Wrekonize) Ive tried writing this letter now several times before When the partys over and the liquor is no more I tell now that living has become somewhat a chore And following their rules is such a God forsaken bore Now I say God because i'm programed but I believe in none I see no interventions and I see no holy sons And if i'm wrong then strike me down and break these breathing lungs Just take the words reverse them back upon my evil tounge Ive seen children arm eachother like its second nature sung Just wanna watch the world burn and bang apon the drums And that is why the music and the rhythme will live on Cause chaos has a melody and death is like a song I sing, sing out to the rafters I sing Close this little chapter and I think Is life is a disaster and it stinks I'm trying to find a way to just sing Sing out to the rafters I sing Close this little chapter and I think Is life is a disaster and it stinks You see him trying to find a way out (Hook: Wrekonize) What a world [x2] I'm hanging up the noose now Waiting for the end What a world [x2] I'm hanging up the noose now Waiting for the end (Verse 2: Tech N9ne) I went to visit wounded soilders out at camp pendelton And the cost of the missing limbs it meaned that is no love like wimbelton When they sat before me young as hell Look at me alcaldes like gentlemen I'm thinking that the enemy took away their ability To walk and to touch no way of rekindalin What is now gone Unless they got money like Forest and LT. Dan The war if you in a dam they have no remorse and that any minute bam That's fucked off While we chillin on tour on the bus getting sucked off Know a families greaving Because war is receding Their peeps and they cring their butts off That's why I get so much When I flow bust While we got it so good Cause it's so rough But the young soliders who do exactly what they are told to do Damn do exactly what they told to do Defend their country and uphold the crew But give my one and only soul for you That's a hell of a job discription I don't know if my gods with this one But I guess it's the laws of sickman Sending out youngins and they fall the victums Of an evils klans plan That's why I be saying dwam Cause on 9/11 I realized our fate is in another mans hands (Hook) (Verse 3: Bernz) When I see how my loved ones have left I wonder how long I would I would fight I wonder if I would give in and let the reaper lead me into night See I got too much pride left My grandmother died too early Reaching for moments more instead the cancer in her lungs took it from you We drift, naturally like two ships in the roughest of seas That's why this moments precious yet I'm too distant to feel it complete See these days I feel so disconnected It gets harder to drop to my knees I guess that's a side effect of living in generation XYZ Obsessed with pain and greed man I wish we were kids again Things were simpler than 90s incidents Got me losing friends to the hands of violent men fast Faster than speeding bullets whizzing down alley ways Abruptly I'm waking up from this haze But only to realize the world hasn't changed Suddenly I'm not even fazed Y'all think it's the way we been raised? Fuck it I'm sitting right back in this haze Cause these kids are not to be my last today With a hope and a prayer put a rope in the air But I'm just too scared Talking from the pressure will I rock this chest Swing back and forth and tempt death with a blank stare (Hook)
