Lyrics
Persona 3 Original Soundtrack
(Yes!)
(Background right here)
(It's a man's world!)
(Come on!)
(Gotta get those things right here)
(Hey, yo)
Fear's awake / anger beats loud
Face reality / never beat charity
The enemy you're fighting / covers whole society (Damn right)
Mommy's not here, gotta fight (all night)
Right here Shadow / 10 o'clock direction
Seize the moment / destroy the nation
Your rhyme is slow motion / give me motivation
Freaked out now / and dead on arrival (what?)
Round up around / Spit out all over
Rhyme like a rolling stone / Comin' a crowd
Watch out / they move / they dis you loud / Guess what this sound /
It bombs whole ground / so round up
Don't ease your pace / 'cuz enemy's brutal
Moment of truth / There ain't no truce
You're the only one / One world, One love
But the battle goes on / Shadows of Mass Destruction
Persona 3 FES
(Oh... hey yo. You guys going to rap in this right now?) / (Unless we have to...)
(You can't stop it!) / (uh, you guys ready?)
(Take it hot, right now)
I thought told y'all to sit down / or get down
I'm about'a hit ground
When I'm in the box / my hits way out of this bounds
Nobody's topping me / you know it damn right
Most of y'alls loving me / doing it all night
Keeping my friends close / and my foes closer
Things getting messy / but I never lift the nose up
As I get older / see things slower
My enemies looking like kids / and I'm the grown up
(Forget it) I'm the next masterpiece made
A new generation team / a wicked beast "Ace"
But I'm the mister nice guy
See? I'm a wise guy
Not a mafioso / but I hustle like Mike
Lay low if you are feelin' me
I take these beats / freaks go crazy with me
So put'em up in this base with me
So shake with the man / L to the J's now follow me
Persona 3 Arrange Album (Burn My Dread-Reincarnation)
I don't care anymore, enough of fake smiles
Buckwild I go, tried it on but it didn't fit me so
Found a better pair of shoes to walk
Even in defeat, I hold my pride never gonna talk
Better yet
My mouth is tight like James Bond
You thought you saw me, but next second I'm gone
I don't want no throne
I'm a freelancer, do for benjamins, but I'm not a gangster
Show me what you got
If you got it all 'cuz I fight not only verbally
Volatile man I am, gotta game that I play
I thought you might like the way
I destruct every where I lay my hands
I'm sick to the bone
From the top of the dome to the tip of my toe
I call the shots, the frontman calls the drop
Going no where if you wanna take my spot
Break down right off the bat / I pop my armory
Too smooth to see, I sting like bee
like Muhamad Ali, Champion of Champions will not defeat
Came up to beat the enemy at large
But tonight let us take a break back to kids in go-cart.
Once again, I'm back in the lab
Cleaning my knives ready for stabs
I never committed a crime I had to
Out of necessity, I done couple
I plead guilty to lord in the chapel
Forgiveness given cuz I don't look for trouble
Instead it finds me
And what I do is fight back
Never look back the past 'cuz it hurts to think back
I pray to God, 'cuz I'm still paranoid today
Can't lean back, now its over
Survival of the fittest time for me to take over
I was lenient, but games over
Mass destruction is now our slogan
Just won't do things in slow-mo
Fast life, fast money, kinda like promo
Break down
Still get it going on
I am the next ruler of the python
Don't be scared of biting, I'm not a tyson
Right on! I'm the hurricane in the ocean
About to land disturbing the peace
It's a war zone
You best took it serious when you heard the tone.
