Warrior’s Code: A story of redemption
[Admit it, I am I not much better than you]
[laugh]
[Well I guess that you would be the only one foolish enough who would dare to come hear, you’ve got courage]
I’m in a mood of sorts trying to find a place to record
and redeem myself son that lost the family sword
so many rappers, tried to shock me like faulty adaptors
revenge story learned the face of all my attackers
and went after them, killing everyone of them I saw
I made right all the things I couldn’t prove by law Vincent
at night I burned incense and heightened all senses remember all lessons
I’ve come a long distance since spent nights under moons like giant headlights
win ten fights in real-life never a website
pace move slower, boa constrict Noah
kill the master of beasts meet the new master of beats
and now the old master’s dead and I assume the mantle
I’m Baby Moses Floating Down the Okavango
man who can phase me? I’m feral like wolves raised me
I’ve got the Will, I said I’m Ferrell like whites raised me
no matter whose barrel is aimed it’s locked safety
safely tucked in, careful whenever hugging
cos that’s when they pull the blade
it’s hidden in the braids, the fireworks, the distractions from the parade
they steal your gaze
as the knife it pierces armor, who will avenge me
that’s why I call my son Karma
who will attend me, my whole life they tried to end me man, yo, my whole life they tried to end me
As the world turns, I keep screaming let the world burn
and curse my enemy’s ash until it’s all urns
cos when it’s all set and done, what’s the altern
we ain’t got shit but the warrior’s code
now as the world turns, we keep screaming let the world burn
and curse our enemy’s ash until it’s all urns
so when it’s all set and done, what’s the altern
we ain’t got shit but the warrior’s code
I found a sword with a magic garden, an old man said I beg your pardon
this sword is forged from warrior’s souls you’ve got to earn it son
and so I trained until the winter come
but I’m still haunted by my troubled past
and so I let off a double gasp
and prepare for the final task
it’s Madlib the way the vinyl blast
master summons me in a hurry
it’s time to see if I’m worthy
we’re sparring but it looks like he’s really trying to hurt me
but as his coming towards me
I finally realize what the words mean
I’m the chosen one if I choose to be it
so I defeat him with a move
I didn’t know that I could use
the surprise in his eyes, he didn’t know that he could lose
the master and the student part ways
the mutual respect that part stays
I’m walking miles away but I decide I should stop at a rented car place
I get something cheap and I start heading north
with my new sword it’s time to see what life has in store
no more battling niggaz with support that’s half way
only hanging with babes that look like Anne Hathaway
As the world turns, I keep screaming let the world burn
and curse my enemy’s ash until it’s all urns
so when it’s all set and done, what’s the altern
we ain’t got shit but the warrior’s code
now as the world turns, we keep screaming let the world burn
and curse our enemy’s ash until it’s all urns
so when it’s all set and done, what’s the altern
we ain’t got shit but the warrior’s code
