Perpetually portrayed through the Times Square neon
They never show the soul of ghetto blocks we be on
The hustle for the dough, however you get your green on
Get your 7 to 3 on or give 'em what they fiend on
Rats getting they greed on, leaving scraps to feed on
Sleeping on a corner where people spit and peed on
There's rivers of the tears from women who got beat on
By kids making kids, can't find pops 'cuz he gone
No shoulder to lean on, we grow cold like Freon
But you could feel us breathing even after we gone
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm gone but I promise you that I won't be long
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm feeling alright, I just needed a respawn
Yo let me hit these couple L's but I don't mean chief strong
Lyrically lifting life, this is Lazarus Theme Song
Record that hits a needle real people could fiend on
Music you dig for years like you burying King Kong
Saying this generation ain't following's being honest
I got that promise astonishing Nostradamus
My diction level is college with knowledge rebel to fiction
With conviction like Martin and Lex Luthor collision
The leader of the Legion of Doom these rap divas
I'm ending 'em with a pen, my venomous ink feeder
It's something like heater, run and duck when you see her
Or be her sitting duck, press your luck and I squeeze her
Hip Hop said "They killing me, taking me to the reaper"
So I got to believe her when she said I was a keeper
You looking like a creeper, she told me I should leave ya
Obsolete like beepers, pray that I never meet ya
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm gone but I promise you that I won't be long
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm feeling alright, I just needed a respawn
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm gone but I promise you that I won't be long
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm feeling alright, I just needed a respawn
I'm on top of it all like a ball at tip off
Lift off like I'm what you see when you flipped off
Give God every breath 'til I drop dead like Fred
The rhythm sparks my tongue with flavor like Big Red
Redrum murder murder, you heard of me with a burner
The producer brought the heat and I flipped it like it's a burger
Like it's nothing, like a glutton, feed me and Ima bury them
I eat a beat quicker than a starving vegetarian
Put 'em to sleep, dog, like a veterinarian
Flowing through the fog, come aboard the hooded ferryman's
Vessel, I'm built to wrestle with current currents of curses
We drowning, the man is surfing so put work in and surface
Big Apple serves the serpent, I'm adamant with the verses
So even while my city be seeing what the worst is
Believe Ima be certain for me it ain't curtains
As long as I win those skirmishes with the purpose
Of pitting me versus versions of meaning of life searches
Too many people working for purchases that be worthless
It ain't perfect, the ghetto forever hurting
And it always stay the same 'cuz babies is still birthing
And paper ain't for learning, we earn it just to burn it
While we living by the code of only death is certain
Alone it's one for all, together we never fall
I call upon them rebels with soul and with a cause
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm gone but I promise you that I won't be long
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm feeling alright, I just needed a respawn
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm gone but I promise you that I won't be long
This is Lazarus Theme Song
I'm feeling alright, I just needed a respawn
