Ghetto Vampire

I don't know, I just think that's hell exploitive

You know, taking these metaphors and just butchering...

icons in the urban community. I don't know, it's

like you sucking em dry, what are you some kind of a vampire

or something? Yeah yeah that's what you are, what ahh what

a ghetto vampire, that's it.

So where'd all this come from? Think back

Try to remember... think back... try to remember...

I used to sit at the right hand of God in light and splendor

Lavishly spreading love that's all I remember

As time passes I catches miracles he taught me

everything except for some old man and breathe the breath of life

I tried, to just accept he's my savior

But jealousy forced me into sacrilegous behavior

Enraged like I was no threat I hated God's laughter

Waiting for the day the apprentice becomes the master

I'm cursed and damned now to be a creature of the night

Unliving yet living off blood, fearer of the light

But I don't give a FUCK right, because I live forever

I see you all come and go and die and burn

and watch the world still turn

Evil entity, time is resenting me

Thousands of years later I must conceal my identity

A vampire *echoes*

Arrraahhaaa-hahahahahaha!!!

New heights, where it's so dark you need candlelights

To expose the black plague my left hand writes

Nights enveloping and developing pictures in your brain

like a darkroom, in every monestary where I spark boom

A cartoon style smile smirk, how's my emotionless killer clown

synapse behaps relax the bastard black balloon

Nocturnal, high off the herbal, crowding back streets and projects

Illest nigga, coolest slang dialects (dialects)

Bite marks are what you feel if you're my victim

Poisons golden seal couldn't heal from your system (from your system)

Nuts bust down the throats of mad crack heads

Fetal four-eye pleas, fuck it cops kill black kids

Sometimes I wish I could stop the death the pain and the sin

but I'm fucked up create the libations that humans contain within (nasty)

After lightning strikes the steeple of your family church

I beg forgiveness from God, but it never works

I know my soul ain't going to heaven when I expire

Recognize... the immortal ghetto vampire

I slit your throat and watch you shake if I desire

Recognize... the immortal ghetto vampire

Bear witness to the sins of wicked messiah

Recognize... the immortal ghetto vampire

Who can I speak to God is dead and the whole earth's on fire

Recognize... the immortal ghetto vampire

Running from the sun by day it's become quite obvious

to the people surrounding me I'm the wildest

Untamable blood-luster plus the high school yearbook photos

that I took in eighty-nine, show no sign of a face of mine

Intertwined my mind is a jungle full of cobwebs and tangled vines

and a glass mace even my closest friends are becoming afraid

Of how I, predicting what's happening and events

Prom dates found they're punctured, blood left pleading then lynched

That's just how I fucking express myself

When I consume your blood and leave you dead

sorry it's just to keep my health

Dark forces, police get nauseous from my trail of corpses

No stake through my heart, no holy water, and no priest with crosses

A woman's mind gets clouded by my handsome mannerisms

Listen obsessions bigger than Jackie Gleason's aneurysms

You caught up when my piercing eyes stare right through you

Stronger than the straightest greatest ancient Haitian voodoo

My unholy presence disturbs animals and children

built a sacrifical altar behind an abandoned building

My sense of smell is heightened my sight is razor sharp

Serene that's thorazine when I remove your beating heart

*bump, bu-bump, bu-bump, bu-bump*

And then the blood starts, flowing

Now I got your soul without you even knowing

Lying in a staircase covered in piss, body decomposing

I turn on sirens and I perpetuate gang violence

I'm the devil that got Malcolm X sleeping in silence

Factual I poison anything that's natural

I kill love and I'm hope frozen up just like it's a statue

Vampires walk among us sucking life from our city

Keeping us in constant states of insecurity

The police watch em... they know me ghetto vampire

The government check em... they know me ghetto vampire

Churches and ministries... they know me ghetto vampire

Niggaz slangin that shit... they know me ghetto vampire

Money hungry bitches... they know me ghetto vampire

The whole school system... fucking ghetto vampires

The fucking media... they know me ghetto vampires

Now who's the vampire?
