Lyrics

Torture

[Intro]

You know? Through being humbles

True Mast' on the track

Like that, you know?

Been in this rap game for like the past four bullets now, you know? Doing bids, yeah-yeah

I done peeped a lot of cats come through

Courageous cats, stray cats, haha

Top cats with top hats, you know what I'm saying?

But it all boils down to this, we talking lyrics

Rhymes, line for line, numero uno

Who the best? I don't know

Check it

[Verse 1]

Flame on, I rain fire when Johnny Storm

I'm shocking like live wire, you have been warned

I prolong this next chamber to make it strong

And prove all them doubters wrong

"Killin 'Em Softly" with this song, adding on

Let them toes get they tag on, dead men run no marathons

On my shift, shooting that gift, knowing he snitched

On the telethon, running his lips, sinking the ship

Give back what his mother gave him, mother made him

And now she can't even save him, Johnny Blaze 'em

Send him to his final resting

Back to the essence, Faces of Death, the final lesson

[Chorus]

Torture, torture, torture

Motherfucking torture, y'all niggas know

[Verse 2]

Who got John Blaze shit? Sucking my dick to get famous

So I switched Blaze to Dangerous

Welcome to my torture chambers, torture chambers

Where John Does remain nameless, hear me?

I know it's Def Jam, but think clearly

I made it possible for y'all cats to come near me

Keep your enemies close and your heat closer

I slam just like my culture on all theories

Dead that, straight off the meat rack with this one

You get burned playing Nix-on, Hot biscuit

Stand back, don't make me spit one and paint pictures

On the walls of your mental with hot lead from out these pencils

Iron Lung since I was young and not knowing

Where the next meal was coming from, been troublesome

To all those posing a threat

If I go, everybody got to go next, y'all niggas know

The code of the street soldier, I'm watching time

And time watching me colder, Grim Reaper

Breathing death on my shoulder

Waiting for the day to take me over, take me over

[Chorus]

Torture, torture, torture

Motherfucking torture, y'all niggas know

[Verse 3]

That you can never touch my flow, go ahead and hate me

Still tryna fuck my ho, Johnny-come-latelies?

Got me in a world of shit and now I'm pissed

Mama said there'd be days like this

'Tis the season for ducks and my pen's bleeding

Leaving kids barely breathing for sneak-thieving

Famished from lack of eating and lack of teaching

Banished from Rhyme & Reason for high treason

Can it be, that the kid with the knock knees

Got G to make a grown man cop plea

For this track, I got a Lovebug like Starski

Blow back until I drop Tical Part 3

Ain't no stopping when you start me, John Jay

Pulling your card, mayday mayday, niggas owe they life to God

And now it's payday, take it how you wanna take it

Fully clothed or butt-naked, I learned the hard way

Ain't nothing sacred in this world, time to face it

Johnny Basic Instinct, I'm sure to make it

While others fake it, fuck the spotlight, G-O-D already got light

Say what you like, just spell my name right

No doubt, this one goes out, to all you trout-fish

Cake niggas, keep my dick up out your mouth

[Chorus]

Torture, torture, torture

Motherfucking torture, y'all niggas know
