Mr. Lif - The Abyss lyrics
[Mr. Lif - The Abyss lyrics]
I landed on the ground took a look around
He's nowhere to be found but without a sound
I stood there silent
Engulfed in violence embraced by shadows
My mind set: Battle
Standing in the courtyard
Right beneath the balcony
Hoping that my lady ain't a Valkyrie
Should one suggest that I be met by death
I'll fight til I've got no strength
Or there's nothing left
The gate was left agape to the alleyway
The path where he escaped but so silently
I could hear the wind rustle the vines
Amidst the dim street lights the moon shines
This type of scene sniper scene
True that it might be him but it might be me
Out through the gate I go but kept low
Shift strictly to intuition mode
Cut my eyes left cut my eyes right
He's not in my eyesight
I'm ready for gun fight
The muthafucka made a dash and moved fast
I licked off a blast it flew past him
He's a block away but I can catch him
Face bashing new course of action
I'm gaining out here without training
Heart started pounding when I saw him blazing
So amazed the ways that life could go
Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this
Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss
He popped two shots
Though I thought he was out
Whizzed past my face but, I can't stop now
Feeling like a demon bobbing and weaving
I could have been struck man
I'm lucky to be breathing
Chest heaving adrenaline rush
Voice inside of my head says:
Inner Voice:
("This is too much")
("Hesitation doubt
Re-route it's not too late for you to be out
You could see now
Drop the gun you've already won
No need to bleed two you just dropped one
He won't be back this is over attack
You just ended a life
You're the owner of that")
Had to stop in my tracks
And put my back on the wall
If I'm invisible to him
Then that's the end of the brawl
With such a sudden withdrawal
I didn't know what to think
Then I realized that I survived
A walk on the brink
On the edge of destruction
For sure pure panic the gravity of this
Turned me to pure manic
I stood there and finally felt fear
I'm sure back at the crib my girl's in tears
I've gotta go back but, I did so slowly
Along the same path of fury that blurred me
Who heard me? All the neighborhood lights on
Now I hear sirens remnants of violence
Silence at the core of my mind
As I teleported back to the
Scene of the crime
Told my girl "I'm here"
Open the attic door i assure safety
After tragic war
As we embraced she cried
She thought maybe I died
I'm glad that we're alive
But part of me partially
Parted me
I was barely even present for the hug
So please, pardon me
My mind beams stages of dreams
Crazed as it seems survive by any means
I never really slept that well
After that night
Sunset now gets me set to fight
And it's wearing down even my relentless type
And it seems nobody can contest the plight
So I'm waking from nightmares
And even though the coast is clear
I fell into my own despair
Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this
Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss
He's nowhere to be found but without a sound
I stood there silent
Engulfed in violence embraced by shadows
My mind set: Battle
Standing in the courtyard
Right beneath the balcony
Hoping that my lady ain't a Valkyrie
Should one suggest that I be met by death
I'll fight til I've got no strength
Or there's nothing left

The path where he escaped but so silently

Amidst the dim street lights the moon shines
