Shroud

[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?
