Mr. Lif - The Abyss Lyrics

I landed on the ground
Took a look around

He's nowhere to be found
But without a sound

I stood there silent

Engulfed in violence

Embraced by shadows

My mind set: Battle

Standing in the courtyard
Right beneath the balcony
Hoping that my lady ain't a Valkyrie

Should one suggest that I be met by death
I'll fight til I've got no strength
Or there's nothing left

The gate was left agape
To the alleyway
The path where he escaped
But so silently

I could hear the wind rustle the vines
Amidst the dim street lights
The moon shines

This type of scene
Sniper scene
True that it might be him
But it might be me

Out through the gate I go
But kept low
Shift strictly to intuition mode

Cut my eyes left
Cut my eyes right
He's not in my eyesight
I'm ready for gun fight

The muthafucka made a dash and moved fast
I licked off a blast
It flew past him

He's a block away but I can catch him
Face bashing
New course of action

I'm gaining
Out here without training
Heart started pounding when I saw him blazing

So amazed the ways that life could go

Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this
Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss

Mr. Lif

He popped two shots
Though I thought he was out
Whizzed past my face
But I can't stop now

Feeling like a demon
Bobbing and weaving

I could have been struck man
I'm lucky to be breathing

Chest heaving
Adrenaline rush

Voice inside of my head says:

Inner Voice:

("This is too much")

("Hesitation
Doubt
Re-route
It's not too late for you to be out
You could see now

Drop the gun
You've already won
No need to bleed two
You just dropped one

He won't be back
This is over attack
You just ended a life
You're the owner of that")

Mr. Lif

Had to stop in my tracks
And put my back on the wall
If I'm invisible to him
Then that's the end of the brawl

With such a sudden withdrawal
I didn't know what to think
Then I realized that I survived a walk on the brink

On the edge of destruction
For sure pure panic
The gravity of this
Turned me to pure manic

I stood there
And finally felt fear
I'm sure back at the crib
My girl's in tears

I've gotta go back
But I did so slowly
Along the same path of fury
That blurred me

Who heard me?
All the neighborhood lights on
Now I hear sirens
Remnants of violence

Silence at the core of my mind
As I teleported back to the scene of the crime

Told my girl
"I'm here"
Open the attic door
I assure safety
After tragic war

As we embraced
She cried
She thought maybe I died
I'm glad that we're alive

But part of me
Partially
Parted me
I was barely even present for the hug
So please pardon me

My mind beams
Stages of dreams
Crazed as it seems
Survive by any means

I never really slept that well
After that night

Sunset
Now gets me set to fight

And it's wearing down even my relentless type
And it seems nobody can contest the plight

So I'm waking from nightmares
And even though the coast is clear
I fell into my own despair...

Somebody help me cause I'm drowning in this
Somebody help me cause I've found the abyss
