[verse]
wow, he's back with another one,
come on son, wait till OMB
gets the album done.
what you on, steady on,
your spitting when no one's got the telly on.

life can be a series of compliments
especially when it can be full of
peace, joy and nourishment,
now I have to venture to a place,
that can be lacking,
respect, depth and encouragement.

some would say I exaggerate,
that I can't escape,
but that's coming from some guy
who couldn't graduate,
committing isn't the issue,
its about doing what you love,
and what I love, won't take me,
rubbing my hands like sandpaper
don't mean I like it rough.

I have a passion for my art,
and maybe some technology,
obviously, I didn't go Uni,
so I can't find a job properly,
probably the reason why,
that nowhere else wants me,
all while the guys with the bag,
continue investing in more property.

when the days done,
all I know that there is one escape,
the ear-buds go in, I listen to that one song on repeat,
maybe I'm crazy,
but it helps me understand why I can't get cold feet,
get up and leave,
because I promised to myself, that it ain't me.

when I listen to my inspiration,
I cant help, but listen to the imitation,
respect the guys, when you're making art,
don't trace over, then go and lie.

can't stand a game full of copycats,
that try to make plays and humble brags,
I think these Jane Doe's, are missing their producer tags,
don't rap about the dead, when you're the one needing a body bag.

this music is about creativity, literally
it's about speaking from your heart, lyrically
I know computers can make you overheat, critically
but if the words are woven through your soul,
then they can still hear your empathy.

so respect the others that came before,
respect their work if they aren't here anymore.
so hats off to the guys that work their asses off
you make the hard stuff, like concrete and asphalt.

I'm a cold one, even if, I can't talk,
loved making my art, ever since, I had chalk,
when winter comes and snow falls,
just to let you know, that I, still know where to walk.

[chorus]
Packing up the guys
That rap tough,
I'm packing up bodies
That I wrap up,
With machetes and knives
I stay racked up,
Every swing and slice,
They get hacked up

[verse]
I'm a hellhound
That remains
Blood bound
And the blood lust
I have, is eager
To fertilise the ground.
With these metal claws
that I foster
I'm evil at night
I'm a monster.
Wanna rip out your heart
So you know, how hate tastes.
Wanna tie up your lungs,
Like a shoe lase.
Wanna crack you open
Like a cold case.
These thugs try to hassle us
out of our phones and wallets,
what a fuss
same guys, that keep cutting us
An cutting us and cutting us,
Gonna give you an upper-cut
chiseling your physique,
gives a new meaning to "being cut"
like a lens,
I can see, that your see-through.
Can't wait to hit record,
And get the preview.
So I'm taking action,
and this shots gonna kill you.

[chorus]
Packing up the guys
That rap tough,
I'm packing up bodies
That I wrap up,
With machetes and knives
I stay racked up,
Every swing and slice,
They get hacked up

Packing up the guys
That rap tough,
I'm packing up bodies
That I wrap up,
With machetes and knives
I stay racked up,
Every swing and slice,
They get hacked up
