The Gathering Songtext
von Mega Trife

I don′t wanna be in this place
Every day it's getting harder to survive
All I want is some peace of mind
Living on the edge just don′t feel right
Even my mama can't save me now


I had a dream of escape from a place in the mind
Where the thoughts of the good coincide with the lies
Of the snakes and the rats and the cats in the hood
That are devious, never did a good thing previous-ly
And it's difficult to see through the smoke
When the weed keep my eyes low and my throat′s choking
Soaking the liquor up in my liver but
I don′t give a what, run up in the bank, stick 'em up
Flicking butts out the window on the Zakim
If money meant your death but could save your family
Would you take it? My city sleeps too much
My biddy wanna fuck but I′m busy with enough bullshit
To get a nut, I'm a demon in disguise
Lies rid me of my innocence and ever since
I never give a shit, I been indifferent
′Cause anytime I'm in a pinch I′m swinging for the fence
I gotta get it while it's there to be got, let it commence

I don't wanna be in this place
Every day it′s getting harder to survive
All I want is some peace of mind
Living on the edge just don′t feel right
Even my mama can't save me now


While you′re listening to this shit
Some brother died from the biscuit
The six hit him right to the chest, he didn't miss shit
His chick flipped when she got the news and she just licked
Dick while her man in the streets getting his wig split
The shit′s sick, click-click
You in the hood then your time's like tick-tick
You better get the gist quick
Under siege of the misfits, the shit′s thick
And Mrs. Simpson got evicted with six kids
To survive is a daily operation
It's a bullet through my windshield and that was just the stray shit
Ain't have the patience to live in places
Where the crime and education is all adjacent
Inhale the fragrance of sex, death, gun smoke
Cigarettes, drug money, blood money, alcohol
Disconnect your brain from the mainstream
Same dreams happening
Step inside the mind of a king, it′s The Gathering

I don′t wanna be in this place
Every day it's getting harder to survive
All I want is some peace of mind
Living on the edge just don′t feel right
Even my mama can't save me now

I′m tryna keep it on the level, seven miles above the devil
But the bezel in the watch made me never wanna settle
For a nine to five, time to rise, need a change of scenery
It seem to me that everywhere I be is like the Bean to me
The greenery's a little better in the warmer weather
But the cheddar have Berettas leaving bullets in your sweater
It ain′t the place where you at, you can't escape from a trap
Until you realize you're in one, it isn′t an opinion
Beginning of the ending is here and it′s clear
But the NEWS got us living in fear
So beware of the FOX, my people shedding tears in the box
Yo, we got you, ain't no one forgot you
Shout out to my pop duke, every time he brought loot
Anyone that′s family and anyone harassed by the cops too
You got one life, don't live it by the sword
That′s The Gathering of all of my prayers, hear me Lord

I don't wanna be in this place
Every day it′s getting harder to survive
All I want is some peace of mind
Living on the edge just don't feel right
Even my mama can't save me now
