gold on the scale (intro) - substance810 & observe since ’98 lyrics

[intro: john kani]

the men called them the ghost and the darkness
there were two of them, and that had never happened before because man*eaters are always alone
they owned the night but they also attacked in daylight. alone or together
without fear or reason
some thought they were not lions at all, but the spirits of dead medicine mеn come back to spread madness
or thеy were the devil sent to stop the white man from owning the world
i believed this… that they were evil. what better ground for evil to walk than tsavo?
because this is what the word tsavo means; “a place of slaughter”

[verse 1]
me and my cronies move felonious, we good money
y’all lookin phony as a rolly tick, the gold on the scale equal to the dead souls
in this war we prevail
the holy grail, this a motion picture we ain’t sony
i put my life on the scale, life is h*ll
i remain focused holding the torch for those that came before me
the blood in my lions mane is the pain and glory
characters change, what remains the same story
only the bones remain from the slain, surely
when they open the cage you’ll feel the rage shortly
you can’t help it with the burning sage
i tried to turn a page, but still the ghosts in my brain haunt me
traverse rough terrains with amazing speed, peep the agility
i’m the lion i came to eat
i gotta find food to raise my seeds
top of the food chain no time for complacency
[interlude: john kani]
gold is a substance like no other
it is beautiful, desirable, rare, and valuable
its appeal is almost universal, across cultures, and across time. from the very earliest times, gold played a leading role in the drama of human history
gold gives glory to our gods, and inspiration to our artists. it has formed the bedrock of our wealth
gold drove the engine of the world’s economy for centuries. the story of gold is the history of an obsession

[verse 2]
don’t fight death it’s more honorable
it’s formal like a sonnet
and if somebody told you different then they lied to you
these methods all tried and true
the antidotes not in a vile
the swords in the stone, i’m tryna pry it loose
i lost all my idols
it’s like they all died in groups
but the taste of revenge sweet as papaya fruit
homies i used to hang with tried to tie a noose
but it was perfect timing, y’all died and i didn’t buy a suit
i got a small circle, y’all outside the loop
eager to ride, but won’t speak that’s what pride’ll do
it’s time to reach deep inside
your heart’s tangled with your mind, you gotta try to untie the two
i’m laying on top of mountains of bones from my rivals, maniacal
watch how you play this is not a recital
it’s all fun and games till you meet the lion
then you find out what’s really inside of you
