"Lyrics of Fury"

I'm rated "R", this is a warning, you better void
Poets are paranoid, DJ's destroyed
'Cuz I came back to attack others in spite
Strike like lightnin', it's quite frightenin'

But don't be afraid in the dark, in a park
Not a scream or a cry, or a bark, more like a spark
You tremble like a alcoholic, muscles tighten up
What's that, lighten up, you see a sight but

Suddenly you feel like your in a horror flick
You grab your heart then wish for tomorrow quick
Music's the clue, when I come your warned
Apocalypse now, when I'm done, you're gone

Haven't you ever heard of a MC-murderer?
This is the death penalty and I'm servin' a
Death wish, so come on step to this
Hysterical idea for a lyrical professionist

Friday the thirteenth, walking down Elm Street
You come in my realm you get beat
This is off limits, so your visions are blurry
All you see is the meters at a volume pumping 'Lyrics of Fury'

It's a fearified freestyle

Terror in the styles, never error-files
Indeed I'm known, your exiled
For those that oppose to be level or next to this
I ain't a devil and this ain't the Exorcist

Worse than a nightmare, you don't have to sleep a wink
The pain's a migraine every time you think
Flashbacks interfere, you start to hear
The R A K I M in your ear

Then the beat is hysterical
That makes Eric go get a axe and chops the wack
Soon the lyrical format is superior faces of death remain
MC's decaying 'cuz they never stayed

The scene of a crime every night at the show
The fiend of a rhyme on the mic that you know
It's only one capable, breaks, the unbreakable
Melodies unmakable, pattern, unecscapable

A horn if want the style I posses
I bless the child, the earth, the Gods and bomb the rest
For those that envy a MC it can be hazardous to your health
So be friendly, a matter of life and death, just like a ethch-a-sketch

Shake till your clear, make it disappear, make the next
After the ceremony, let the rhyme rest in peace if not, my soul'll release
The scene is recreated, reincarnated, updated, I'm glad you made it
'Cuz your about to see a disastrous sight a performance never again
Performed on a mic, 'Lyrics of Fury'

A fearified freestyle

The "R" is in the house too much tension
Make sure the system's loud when I mention
Phrases that's fearsome you want to hear some sounds
That not only pounds but please your eardrums

I sit back and observe the whole scenery
Then nonchalantly tell you what it mean to me
Strictly business I'm quickly in this mood
And I don't care if the whole crowd's a witness

I'm a tear you apart but I'm a spare you a heart
Program into the speed of the rhyme, prepare to start
Rhythm's out of the radius, insane as the craziest
Musical madness MC ever made, see it's

Now an emergency, open-heart surgery
Open your mind, you will find every word'll be
Furier than ever, I remain the future
Battle's tempting whatever suits you

For words the sentence, there's no resemblance
You think you're ruffer, then suffer the consequences
I'm never dying terrifying results
I wake you with hundreds of thousands of volts

Mic-to-mouth resuscitation, rhythm with radiation
Novicane ease the pain it might save him
If not, Eric B's the judge, the crowd's the jury
How do I plead to homicide? 'Lyrics of Fury'

They're getting furier, a fearified freestyle
