Mice - Shahmen

The weight has been lifted

I buried the knife (buried)

Here comes the elephant carried by mice

Here to marry the mic (marriage)

The one tusk cut dipped in blood

Now dare me to write (dare me)

Watch a murder of crows

Turn into a pack of wolves

And prowl the streets for the feast they owe

Fat sacks and a stack of gold

Get blown and turn back to crows

I hear evil I see evil, but I speak needle

Full of medicine for all of these dead people

Sight beyond sight

Carry the eyes of a dead eagle treaded in the twilight

Leather bag of bones browns when the sun is shown

Ten fingers that have touched the globe

Ten toes to the dusty road

One skull made of bone 'bout to touch the throne

Eskimo with an icepick

Chipping icebergs down when I write shit

Priceless life lives off papyrus

High into the sky

Catches fire and falls right into your iris

Wipe the ash from your eyelashes

And follow on the white rabbit

Tonight you might catch it (catch-it)

Been clinging on to madness

But I finally built a kingdom from my passion

So start to divvy up the cash and

I pull the next world wonder out the back alley trash can

A vision ever lasting

They try to get em' but they couldn’t build a prison that would trap him

But in this land here the shaman’s a king

Better follow your dreams or fall deep into the hollow of rings

I’ve gone into tomorrow it seems to suck the sorrow out, I spit my piece

Wake up face up with a heart to get right

And the world has gone wrong I’m darker than midnight

But I’m brighter than Zeus' strikes from rolling these two dice

Tell me the world ends well I guess we got tonight

Dance on my own grave this ground is now sacred

The art, well it takes time my hands well they take bread

The engine in my heart starts to run in on hatred

No one make it far in this world with the faceless

Raise out the graves that get dated to fallen

Goodbye for them now no I’m out for my callin'

Staring out my chips 'bout to push them all in

Standing on the cliffs one slip and I’m falling

I wrote this one on Sunday with no sun rays

Under a grey and blue sky thinking one thing

Be a king by the time that the sun came

Now I rhyme while it shines like gold plates

Here comes the elephant carried by mice

Carried by mice, ca-carried by mice

Here comes the elephant

Here comes the elephant

Here comes the elephant
