Meet the man in the mask

Meet the man in the mask

All those days and all that stays and

I don′t keep it, I won't be here for it

All those days and all that stays and

I don′t keep it though, I won't be here for it

Yes Lawd, huh

Hail Mary's in the sky (Hail Mary′s in the sky)

False prophets get buried alive (alive)

Head on the throne ′cause that's where I reside (reside)

Ways of the world the weak won′t survive

Something's in the water (the water), ayy, my nigga we lawless (lawless)

Please move with caution

Who set the fairway? (fairway) damn right I need all this (all this)

Yeah, Jack, I need all this, eyy

Hittas acquitted with fingerprints on the Glock

Screamin′ we gon' make it like two-thirds of The LOX

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Pow pow, he comes, blah blah

Blood on my hands, I′ma need hot agua

You gon' meet Jamaica, I won't say it in Patois

Hope I strike a nerve like a package of matches

You might wanna bypass, this smoke ain′t gas trick

A prince-turned-pope but tryin′ to do like kings do

Sweatin' in chess games, tryna move like kings move

You should slow your roll before you drown in a moat

He tried to channel balance but never found the remote

Killers on the prowl still juggin′ off a lick

Still a— with a double for his *bleep*

Common politics, everlastin' mayhem

Draw to stick you for′ your figures, that's how they hang man

So what′s your game plan if you got one?

You aimin' at passengers with a shotgun? (woah)

The aftermath is you in the scope

It's warfare, is war fair? (no)

You understand? It′s probably better you don′t

Just keep a dock on standby, charter a boat

Ship set sail and, planes depart

The big picture's in motion, are you playin′ your part?

Before the lights get dark and the curtains get closed

Are you playin' your role?

As told by an organized criminal

And general get off my genitals, I got your general

Hail Mary′s in the sky (Hail Mary's in the sky)

False prophets get buried alive (alive)

Head on the throne ′cause that's where I reside (reside)

Ways of the world the weak won't survive

Something′s in the water (the water), ayy, my nigga we lawless (lawless)

Please move with caution

Who set the fairway? (fairway) damn right I need all this (all this)

Yeah, Jack, I need all this, eyy

I had to be about 9 when I first had seen it

Low lows pulled up outside of the Ralph′s

After a car show at Dominguez

They had a disagreement they had to air out

Just another day in Del Amo

Fo' sho, man down, mando

(Thank) thank God I never had to knock your partner off

Or be another casualty of war, amen

There′s four footprints in the sand where I walk

I never claimed to be a saint at all

Four Russians trippin' with hollow tips

And a Kalashnikov, aimed at y′all (kla kla kla!)

No, Soulo hoe, kept it clean

Ridin' dirty, jury would have gave me thirty

Herbie love buggin′ out, hit the target blindfolded

Electorial college devoted

To hit the score, to write the score that's not a metaphor

Ragin' against the machinery, tapin′ up the scenery

You gotta keep the piece to keep the peace

Got dough, squad up and mopped the block up for a cleanin′ fee

I don't need you to change

I don′t need you to change

Yourself (get, get away, get away)

But I've got to get away (get, get away, get away)

I′ve got to get away (get, get away, get away)

From it all (get, get away, get away)

(Get, get away, get away)

Be as free as you can (get, get away, get away)

Be as free as you can (get, get away, get away)

Away from me (get, get away)

I tried to be a saint like everybody else
