about

MURDADAWORLD is a look into the valleys of despair and anger that come with the heavy burden of being wrongfully convicted and having decades of your life taken away. I wrote this song in solitary confinement in 2002 when a lot of stuff was going wrong in my life. I was four years in to my sixty year sentence. I felt left out of society and down and out; the peak of my rage.

lyrics

Lavi! Simeon!

In my reoccurring dreams
I slay capitalist vampires, fascist dragons, racist goblins,
Totalitarian goliaths, I was sent here to wake you zombies!
Pain my right hand man I mastered darkness,
My spear of destiny drawn so my weapon’s the sharpest,
I’m Flint rock to the heart so I’m always sparking,
To brighten my path to see where I’m walking,
Through the valley of death amongst the demons and Seth,
Each moment’s a labyrinth to take a breath,
While persevering to slay em all
Til there’s none left,
This is a metaphor battle between spirit and flesh,
Because the truest monsters…
Is ourself.

I could murder the world
That’s how I’m feelin’ in this 8 x 8
Accelerated fascinations calculated my fate
I’m a victim of social media driven vindictive
Give me the AR I do it livestream the victim
Colossal explosions when immortal souls collide
See the future of your demise when I close my eyes
While in a state of abyss you don’t see no sun
When I die I be cloned through the blood of my son
I hold destiny in my hands when I’m giving it the slugs
Premeditatively when I do it, I be wearin’ some gloves
When I die asking life’s questions please show me some love
Pay homage to my existence when you smokin the herb
Antagonized by this world accumulated aggression
Pissin’ blood is a sign of internal infections
I fed my mind like slug in chamber mental ammunition
With a plan way beyond the whole world comprehension

The world, the world, the world…
I could murder the world…
The world, the world, the world…
I could murder the world…
(Ey man what you thought?
You thought I was gonna sit here and just lay down?
Man I murder one of you mothafuckas man)
I could murder the world
(Without peer pressure I could do it alone…)

I waited patiently in the darkness
Rubbing my chrome
I laid dormant like HIV
448 is full blown
Fuck the world cuz the world is slowly murdering me
I’ve been blind my whole life and I never could see
Who to trust
Is it the dealers? Or the neighborhood clucks?
Is it Donald Trump? Or Putin?
Or that thot you cut?
Is it the priest? Or the police waiting on me with the cuffs?
Was it the judge? Or the jurors who gave me this time?
Falsely convicted sent to prison for this bogus crime
I trust me and only me cuz I know that I’m thorough
But i woke up early in the morning ready to murder the world…

The world, the world, the world…
I could murder the world…
The world, the world, the world…
I could murder the world…
(I told you man, you keep pushin’ me
I’ma come out the corner blastin’ on you mothafuckas man)
I could murder the world…

That’s how I’m feeling
In these days and times
Analyzing our so called life of crime
As I mediate about it
It’s so sublime
Of a system tryna kill us ‘fore we reach our prime
Time running out for us
Living under the sun
It’s midnight I see the stars
‘Rades grab your guns
My philosophies
Would interact with Gs
From little Flint Michigan
All the way overseas
Please believe that world is slowly murdering us
It’s a slug in the brains or life-bids with cuffs
Outlined the demonstration in your mind with chalk
We can live forever when the world just embrace our thought
Walk our walk unconsciously it’s speaking our slang
Be a leader for the movement nigga fuck the fame
I’ma keep it hunnid til the world blow
Until then I’m sippin’ Remy blowin’ loud smoke

I could murder the world…
The world, the world, the world…
I could murder the world…
The world, the world, the world…
I could murder the world…

(Ey man you mothafuckas been killin’ me?
Been killin’ my kids?
Now what’d happen if I come back and kill you?
Murder your mothafuckin’ ass?)
