The return of the bars with this iron heart sequel
See the scars like proving a veteran equal
Reaching stars, watering the astrological refuel
I present my case, like a banana appeal (I peel)
But my bank balance's so uppercase, call it a capital
Being so negative, you really not for real (Minus is imaginary)
Running out of reels (cash reels) like a low budget meals
Compulsive deals, OCD's (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) kicking the heels (Achille's Heel)
As the PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) heals, the trauma reveals
More clinical than a coroner at its pinnacle
Next to an orphanage, it's cynical
Like a poet mortgaged, it's critical
Or an addict boxer, punching lines (drugs) is literal
But minds so criminal like a thief whose mythical
Enemies with assassinations overseas like syndical (mafia)
Having a dubious license (lying sense) to kill
A mind essence with the skill to overpower the best of will (inheritance)
Even when 4 foot tall, I'm 10 feet over you still (10 - 4 = 6 feet deep grave)
Dropped from heaven like a raindrop, went to hell with the runoff (groundwater)
Then in the heat of sin, I rise up like transpiration
And come down again like reincarnation (precipitation)
What I am is nothing but evolution like a product of a hostile environment
Genetically modifying my appearance like dyeing (dying)
Crossing borders cause I'm constantly crossing the line between wrong and right again
As I reap a deviant with a meaningless mind
And leave it to die like life imprisonment, cell bind
From one time to twice, deuces with the nines
My bar's so sub (subtle/submachine gun), compare it to a nine's (9 mm gun)
And I believe its irony when eyes can't see the fire inside of me Think I'm rivalry, but my bar's so educated like it's from the ivy league
Need to coward chickens out here, I own a slaughterhouse
As the old saying goes, if you tiptoe, I'ma butcher thou
But amidst all the mist blocking my woke self to sprout
Instead, I do a full roundabout like a gymnastic bout and turn back to my cold mouth
Spitting bars after bars after bars but raising them with each round.
