Scary Story

lyrics

(Intro)

Testing Log: Day 26, 3am

After finding the specimen with bullet wounds through the torso and one lodged in the cranium, an apparent victim of an altercation with police, I was able to retrieve the specimen and bring him back to my lab for revival and reprogramming. It seems to alleviate the threat the specimen places on society, one must not simply erase his brown physical existence but replace his mentality with what it should be. I shall now attempt my methods.

Verse:

Lightning outside my window
Beautiful timely crescendo signals for the first breakthrough I'm late to
Should've had results when he got a pulse but um..
Never hate never wait on progress
when you're dealing with implanting knowledge
gotta keep the subject solid,
gotta test the wattage,
gotta keep his limbs in the bondage.
Because he might come to when the pain shoots,
through his brain so restraints can't be loose,
check the stitch at the base of his temple,
where the hole that I closed would've been if I chose
different brown skinned boy tryna flee
away from the law ending on concrete
but it seems that he fought with resiliency
for his life that I fix with my new machine
HOOK EM UP HOOK EM UP CANT WAIST NO TIME:
screen flickers on watch his body align
with the tech that I built to fill his mind
to perfect any flaw of the savage kind
he's an average find, but i'm on my grind
"be a good negro" is what i type on the line
press send but the body then shows no sign
of the change i expect of the civilized type
confirming my fright that he can't get right,
Wont assimilate to the pureness of white
don't fail, don't fail gotta prosper tonight
confirm my command then the lab went bright,
really lost my sight
felt the lightning strike,
heard a voice in my head as loud as a mic:

Chorus:

I am the stone that represents the earth
I am that brown skinned king that gave you
envy so you knew what things were worth.
I am that God that you tried to capture.
The one the rules all the senses that you never mastered
larger than the everlasting patience you will never feel
you bow to stigma of the bassest, forming truth from traces,
lies that were never real. Its time to make a holy deal,
your work is evil, making headless giants of my people,
revenge will be equal.

Verse:

Woke up and I start to fret
lying on the floor in a pool of sweat
what was that? heard a voice, sounded like a threat
in my ear so clear I'm a nervous wreck but
better get back to my station
just another hallucination
just a little sleep deprivation playing with my mind
cant waste no time so
prepping up to start again,
think of the fate of my specimen
if I rest, he'll recover, be a threat again,
so ashamed to repeat this chain of events
gotta fix this mess
he's a cosmic jest
dark on the outside
dark in his chest
wont rest til I teach him to repress
\his aggressive nature taunting death,
TYPE IT IN TYPE IT IN GET THE MESSAGE RIGHT:
what attributes will the white folks like?
so strong when he jumps that it looks like flight,
so meek when you stomp he'll scream in fright,
clean cut am I right? Don't want to incite
delusions of grandeur making him fight
need him lost in the fog of an endless night
Ill erase any flaw of his previous life
seems divious right
but Ill ease his plight
Im hero in the right kind of light
no regrets no remorse as I start to type
be a good negro to save your life
I'm a savior tonight as the lightning strikes
a twitch in the boy as the lab goes bright
heard a voice in my head as loud as a mic:

(Chorus)


Outro:

Malfunction, please reset.
Log lost, prognosis: death.
Two confirmed, no pulse, no vitals.
Please reset, the screens gone idol.
All data will be lost
5 seconds power off
2 cases to delete
All missions incomplete...

I was born.
A pebble.
A pestilence.
The sickness
in the rock,
it formed
a skeleton.
Crystalized thoughts,
adorned,
with melanin.
The sands
in the clock,
They tick
and they tock,
ya dig?
