let it in let it in let it in (repeat)
first of all, introduction
who let a god into the function
10,000 beasts off the leash
10,000 sinners when you preach
bring your friends, your foes, the fire
i am the dawn, the thing you desire
raise your glass, the god on the land
one machete, we move with the plan
let it in let it in let it in (repeat)
one thing more, clear the floor
clear the stage, the mic, the door
clear the check, we balance the score
clear your babe, she wants more
you can’t do anything, we getting in
put some money on a god, i bet we win
i feel the power on my skin, setting in
i feel a demon at the door, let it in
let it in let it in let it in (repeat)

i want a nigga, bigger than a figure
look my dark side in the eye, can you dig her
i want a spirit, miss me with the gimmicks
got no regrets face the facts yeah i did it
i want a ghost, iced out boast
haunting bitches from the bay to the coast
i want a devil, bring it to the level
bring it to my bed, fuck me hard like the vessel
i want a beast, terror of the east
menace to the world, man, terror to the peace
i want a star, nigga of the hour
come get this bar man i'm choking on power
i'm so hungry, man it's funny
cut the sky up and let it bleed on me
i'm so hungry, give me something
all the world and i’m still left wanting
i want a god, maxed out squad
hold up the heads let the humans applaud
i want a monster, eat up the roster
all these other niggas are just fucking imposters
i want a force, fire from the source
scream all night till your voice goes hoarse
last of the batch, man i want the catch
i’m tired of being a god with no match
i'm so hungry, man it's funny
cut the sky up and let it bleed on me
i'm so hungry, give me something
all the world and i’m still left wanting
i want a sinner, demon beginner
bow down your heads for the muhfucking winner
i want to be seen, nothing in between
how many gallons of blood will get me clean? (4x)

ta matou diabozinho
diabozinho e bom (repeat)
vai, cut my body let me fly
bloody skinnings in the sky

you’re all wicked and it shows
come inside take off your clothes
no one knows

diabozinho e bom (repeat)
vai, when they see me they get high
bring the fire when you try
we all live and then we die
let them fry
sim, pour the blood up to the brim
all the drums sound like a dream
when i walk in they all scream
let them in
ta matou diabozinho
diabozinho e bom (repeat)

jean grey power/ jean grey pain
phoenix hour/ demon gains
i keep burning/ give me rain
black to black
love’s all i got so far
mutant staccato bars
tell em where you get that scar
jean grey in your heart like tar
tell em when you get so numb
who goes when you get to come
jean grey in your skin like drums
…where you get that from
somehow
the world is gonna go into a breakdown
i know half of us won’t make to the sundown
i don’t wanna see us going out, get higher, i’m wired
and guns down
you’re the only left within the ghost town
give your fear to the silence and the cold ground
let the ones left behind in the fire, desire
jean grey monster / jean grey god
live by dying/ i’m so flawed
all i want is/ holy squad
bring them back
love’s all i got so far
mutant staccato bars
tell em where you get that scar
jean grey in your heart like tar
tell em when you get so numb
who goes when you get to come
jean grey in your skin like drums
…where you get that from
somehow
the world is gonna go into a breakdown
i know half of us won’t make to the sundown
i don’t wanna see us going out, get higher, i’m wired
and guns down
you’re the only left within the ghost town
give your fear to the silence and the cold ground
let the ones left behind in the fire, desire

Light Fantastic
02:34
|

the light fantastic is a prophet thing
it's a forfeit win with a four feet djinn
it's a two foot dick with a four feet swing
and a keep your dollar fuck your dollar watch me spin
the words i spit come from a half baked whim
it's just half crazed skill skimmed off half raised cream
i'm a half raised god kept in half saved skin
on some fire fire fetch a tire half blazed scheme
what if the match won't light and the blood won't flow
so you get drunk, drink funk, crawl to go
singing water water fetch your daughter, bawl below
you're a cutter cutter in the gutter, haul me slow
take my hand to go, trip the light you know
it's fantastic, elastic, a lasting glow
wrap the spastic in plastic, a one night show
before the air stalls, night falls, blood filled low
for the light fantastic is a prophet's wing
clipped in four foot feathers with a four feet swing
i'm a two foot child with a four feet dream
like a baller baller getting taller at all seams
what if the sky won't reach, what if the void won't go
if i pull back, think slack, slide below
like a belly belly, under ready, five foot glow
from your lighter lighter pocket fire five foot flow
let the prophet know, give the seer a show
it's a bright thing, flight wing, lightning low
i’m a sighting, a blighting, a violent ho
in a skin filled air stilled gasping throe
cos the light fantastic is a choking hand
i’m the best damn demon in the whole damn land
i’m your favorite spirit on the whole damn gram
like a flesh filled sun killed master plan
and the light fantastic is a prophet thing
are you a godfeared sin, will you forfeit vim?
will you two foot swing on a four feet grin
keep your dollar fuck your dollar
will you watch me win
