River Styx

(Sleep, don't sleep...)

[Intro - Psychosiz]

Sleep with the fishes

Fish don't sleep

Sharks don't sleep

They don't even have eyelids

Just keep swimming

Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming!

Just keep swimming!

[Verse 1 - Psychosiz]

Mouth watering gout slobbering trout

Conned him in the condiment route, condiments out

Eat up

But I wouldn't if I was you

'Cus you don't know the witch that's cooking that pot of stew

Scoped her out, but if looking was audible

Your peripheral's out of tune and your hearing is out of view

She ain't tripping offa you she's on the MC [?] (Psychosiz!)

Won't you google her VJ like MTV

It's an empty sea

I told you not to cast the line

Now you in backwater black waters with half a knife

In the place to be, fistna pay the fee

Wanna sleep with the fish? You gotta lay with the sea

It's A into Z, the rest is to distract you from it

And have you stun it like the Black Youth Summit

To set you back 200 and amp you on it

Or whatever you do the school'll back you on it

[Chorus - Open Mike Eagle]

Listen to the voices of the sirens call that a fever pitch

Feel the coldness of the guillotine across your fingertips

Either you board the pirate ship or falling in the spits

Either way you pay the reaper when you cross the River Styx

The eaves cease to breathe when we leave this dimension

You reap what you speak, now you sleep with the fishes

The thieves cease to breathe when we leave this dimension

You reap what you speak, now you sleep with the fishes

[Verse 2 - Dumbfoundead]

You're 50,000 leagues under us

Buy a submarine, blowing your bubbles up

A hundred teeth clenching your punctured lungs

By a school of fish and covered up the scene

By an agitated movie squid

Ink-shot a movie script

I think not

A real storyboard

Drowning by the coral reefs no coroner

No traces of foul play to feel sorry for

Goodnight, don't let the waterbugs bite

Body surfaced up floating toward an aqueduct site

With a note attached to his chest

That read, "FUCK LIFE!"

Now that's what happens when you start to set trip

Narcoleptic off the septic tank

Face gets pale, losing your dark complexion

Sank

All the way down by where the clownfish chill

Rookies fuck with bookies, get their accountants killed

Gallants fill up their bodies without an ounce of will

Can't handle the water pressure, would drown with gills

Now go to sleep, in the oceans deep

You'll be found on the sandy shores where the coast is sweeped by the janitors

And get a complete makeover, [?] average [?]

Cremated and spread the ashes out at the nasty storm

[Chorus - Open Mike Eagle]

Listen to the voices of the sirens call that a fever pitch

Feel the coldness of the guillotine across your fingertips

Either you board the pirate ship or falling in the spits

Either way you pay the reaper when you cross the River Styx

The eaves cease to breathe when we leave this dimension

You reap what you speak, now you sleep with the fishes

The thieves cease to breathe when we leave this dimension

You reap what you speak, now you sleep with the fishes

[Verse 3 - Open Mike Eagle]

Take a deep breath, feed the flesh skeleton and brain

Open veins drain all the fluid loosen up the chains

This is music for the strange losers

That would never go for the illusions of the [?]

People walk and sleep

If it's deep enough it'll touch the shallowest of sheep

When we speak wig-wearing freaks chase it like it's tweak

I'm a fire-coloured eagle with a razor in my beak

Feathers in the ink regurgitate the flavour of the beat

On a paper sheet cold as cryogenic chamber sleep

Meet your maker

We came to break the beats people liking

If your represent the beasts then its peace see you later

There goes the Catholic priest, police, and the mayor

Say it loudly

Then eat another marijuana brownie

So you won't hear the little children drowning

That shit is awful sounding
