I'm not the best but never less
Then all the feelings I compress
Into these lyrics, lines and rhymes
Every piece I spew from all my time
The sheets with pride, not lies I sign
And in my heart, such grime I find
But in due time, I start to bind,
Executing the capital crimes
And raise up high all of my kind

I am a monster inside...

That monster isn't fueled by hate
I tame it so it plays my game
I feed it so it grows in strength
But keep it locked up, in a cage
Until a sorry soul, gets in my face

That's what I do inside my mind
All other times, myself you like
Behind that smile lies a ruthless psych
Just don't look past my eyes to find
Or you will wish, you had been blind

To have this control means discipline
Takes time and trips, into darkness
Work on myself and rapport with kin
Along with the sins that I confess
Avoidance, accepting my chagrin

My darkness never overshadows the light
But making peace with these voices,
Understanding the evil but avoiding a fight
So that I am strong when the time is right
My monsters rath is now one of my choices,
My cards to play, so no you are not safe
If you ever come and grant me chafe

But of my kin they'll never be struck
Or ten times to you who has no luck
My monster salutes, then runs amok

I know the mind is a dangerous place
That's why I drill inside to keep it safe
From all the demons I've tamed within
That control is the cause behind my grin
That's just how I cope with the pain,
I'm sorry but it will never teint
The place in my mind, I tredge alone
The place in my heart is open, to hone
