[Intro: Tech N9ne talking backwards] (siht si ton eht tnar fo na live nam, siht si eht tnar fo na ylemetrxe nekorb nam! os od ton ekatsim siht rof yrlived, esuac' ti si ton! mi tsuj gnivah emos fo ym tsekrad stnemom ereh yletal os, yojne! ahah) [Chorus: Krizz Kaliko] I can't breathe anymore I've gone the distance Can't see me anymore The darkness has overcome I don't wanna be part of this But I let it take me So I let it take me Now it's dripping all over me [Bridge 1: Tech N9ne] We on the surface be hell raisers We crave good life but born into this dead-zone I've searched for answers from my female maker In the cemetery but they never produced her headstone [Verse 1: Tech N9ne] Black as ever like Shabba Thick and oozing like lava See this room with my Prada, dadda Must've came from my father 'Cause my mama, was an angel But this thang grow, insane bro (Insane woah) *Swallowing sound* This is darkness accumulated Over the years and heartless buffoons that made it Over to here on the TV Cops kill a man 'cause he's trying to buy a BB Gun (BB Gun) What's gonna happen when they see me come Really run (Really run) *Swallowing sound* I'm 'bout to just boom Take the madness Let it explode and shake the masses Shroud that I carry here to break the rabbits And awake the maggots I hate your habits (I hate your habits) Your evil's consuming me Now my heart and brain's together in unity Darkness… 'Cause ain't no opportunity [Chorus: Krizz Kaliko] I can't breathe anymore I've gone the distance Can't see me anymore The darkness has overcome I don't wanna be part of this But I let it take me So I let it take me Now it's dripping all over me [Bridge 2: Tech N9ne] They say my metamorphosis made a monster In so many ways this statement might be true Your plan right from the start was divide and conquer So what do you think I see when I see you? [Verse 2: Tech N9ne] Give me your wishes Give me your hit-list Bring all the wicked I'm 'bout to show you I'm vicious Ligaments and Sriracha's delicious No stopping for tickets Don't make me give the crooked coppers the business (Coppers the business) *Swallowing sound* I look suspicious Wearing your anger During your danger Swearing whore wrangler Don't let me close to y'all If you touch it it's like an overdose of Propofol I be the ghost to all That wanna vote for hogs I got a goat to maul (Goat to maul) *Swallowing sound* Licking my lips, ow! Burn my tongue I need a germ to come kill me In worms and dung, I lay stagnant I'm an avid mad lad See the evil I grab it Stick to me like a magnet You can have it (You can have it) Rack, I'mma clack on they asses Brack! Brack! Brack! Give the evil no passes [Chorus: Krizz Kaliko] I can't breathe anymore I've gone the distance Can't see me anymore The darkness has overcome I don't wanna be part of this But I let it take me So I let it take me Now it's dripping all over me [Outro (whispering)] If I told you my energy is so strong at times its force can move things, would you believe me?
