There was no method to the madness/ or so I thought/ the method was filling up a vessel full of sadness till it/ topped off and over flowed/ now I’m bout to explode/ from all this crap I’m taking like a commode, ya feel me/ so I hardened my heart to those who could tear it apart/ people…I only trust myself, there’s no one equal/ (clears throat) ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my sequel/ where I portray a boy in this movie we call deceitful/ my intentions were never lethal/ but in the process of being selfish, I’m hurting people/ am I being evil?/ cause I see those effects popping out like pecs after juice and needles/ eh, it’s in my head like a placebo/ I never stick around to see the full effect/ I hit eject/ and let em watch my trails in the sky like a jet/ I’ve gone crazy running how ya’ll made me/ portraying the man of a thousand faces like Lon Chaney, who gone tame me?/ I spoke too soon/ the man behind the mask, like MF Doom, got exposed and all my sins were in view/ this one dark night like Gotham/ when I hit rock bottom/ gottem!/ my world was burning down like Sodom and Gomorrah/ that day I met the God of the Torah through Revelation/ who took on flesh and died for the sins of the nations/ He said, truly truly, your sins were unto me, believe in me and your receive forgiveness through me/ and God opened up my heart to respond to the truth/ and I believed and now I see that I was running from you/ yea!
Tony Montana -
I’m gone, I’m gone./ Hope you’re forgetting me after this song./ Aint worried bout my problems and never gotta solve ‘em./ And that’s the only way I move on./
Y. O. U (you!) couldn’t tame my pride./ I’m turning my back, putting others aside./ These dreams are way too important to be wasting my time./ Hit the booth with no intention to leave you inspired./ Make a killing off of these rhymes./ Until the life of a man slipped quickly away in my hands./ Those tears really didn’t understand the plan./ That you were doing as I was pursing these false solutions./ Money, drugs, and music mixed all into confusion./ “I was losing my mind!”./ Lost from all of the above./ Head to toe I felt numb to this so called love./ Till my Quest came to a end like ’98, He set me straight./ The way he portrayed the beauty through the night sky that was displayed./ How could I not place my faith?/ The way He held me by His grace while I was running in place./ I keep running! “Yeah I keep running.”
