Kaos — -|-|-|-|- (1999)
Arkham Asylum (Italian original)
Translation courtesy of KaosPrisoner of a nightmare - I strive on trouble like a madman on his psychotropic drugs - more acidic than LSD - but I maintain just enough lucidity - focus on the enemy - I arrange the mosaic pieces and persist - while the disease spreads some prepare a great plan - pray for an escape way - on one hand some do they shit for money - but a proud b-boy remains proud - remains real even if a prisoner - zero compromises - I'ma wait for another day - another night to pass - I've read mad pages - others I wrote - ain't gonna lower my eyes now - be straight grillin you - look me in the face - threaten this b-boy if you can - down boy - to me you move in slow motion - go head counting your royalties - but trust me, it's best you avoid me - what I feel and see is untranslatable - there's a solution to this problem but it's inaccessible - I remain motionless with my face between my hands and too many voices in my head - faithful to what I believe in but it's not enough - whoeva sold they souls - zero stamina - playin more films than a cinema - but they voice remains anonymous - bout time to make some moves - the plot is complex - and every day another fight starts - time passes - manifested by the phrases of a cat that tears shit up with his style cause he been studying - who you mad at? - the usual suspects that you call wack - or maybe it's just that the grass is always greener on the other side - here you can get lost - you know it ain't like it used to be - you'll see it's easier to stay out than it is to be down - when I aim for the targhet barely feel that every second in which I defend my terrain there's one less meter - I keep the necessary distance from the world - now I got a hermits life but I still ain't hidin - learn to avoid both tricks and traps - to show your balls if you got more than FARINELLI - classical situations - by now the inevitable epilogue - we in a fragile equilibrium - it's trash on stage - stress causes panic - to who thinks this as a game - in this shit I lost more than a friend - now it's curfew time - one voice without echo remains - blind to every light that illuminates even this hole - old hate - it seems the blood is inevitable - sterile land - y'all try an find the guilty now cause I done gave up - to every confrontation I face I realize isolation is better
It's like a prison - if you want something here you gotta extort it - you can't see the skyline from the bowels of the underground - the role that too many cats got they obtained thru deceit thru theft and now there's desert. x2
I made a pact with a demon to subvert order at any cost - I cause more damage than hail in August - when I infect your area like a hyena - zero scene - watch out- I'm a son of a bitch with hardcore aka muthaucka- with no scruples - you wanna be a millionaire with monopoly? - I believe in miracles like madonnas that cry blood when they hear an mc that can be distinguished, that pushes his lingo - zero ALBERTINO zero RINGO - I'ma stay with the b-boys - face down in the mud - been some time that I don't CONFUSE - when the stakes are on respect for some it's everything for others just an abstract concept - see I carry in my heart who showed me love and esteem - but here the problem is that grudges come first - on top of your black list only my name remains - plus as an extreme measure an extreme solution - here ain't no business that'll hold if there ain't no beat that pushes something - for us the door is still closed - today ain't a day passing without some beef too many - today shit gets ugly - today hiphop once again is in mourning - I'ma wait for the brothers I lost along the way to realize that the sun ain't vanished yet - I seen people disappear without the shadow of a greeting - I seen friends turn hostile in less than a minute - I seen time loosen the tightest knots - I seen the light of evil thru ultraviolet rays - now I ain't hidin even tho maybe it's best I did - I talk for myself but often talk to my self another step towards the center of the perimeter - Arkham Asylum for every single centimeter
It's like a prison - if you want something here you gotta extort it - you can't see the skyline from the bowels of the underground - the role that too many cats got they obtained thru deceit thru theft and now there's desert. x4
