Mr. Lif (not for American and/or NWO lovers)

A.K.A. BuddhaCession (me, not Mr. Lif)

There's actually two songs. This is the first:

Artist: Mr. Lif
Album: I Phantom
Song: Live From the Plantation

[*alarm ringing*]
"Oh my #ing god man, ahhh. #ing serious"
Jesus Christ, man. already?
Man, time flies like a mother#er."
Rise and shine!

Yet another day to toss away
What does my clock display?
It says eight
#, I'm late for work again, so then
I dip with my pad and my pen
Step into the work place with my work face
Wince at my time card cuz I'm scarred
Mad cuz I sacrifice my day and gets me
A trifling hourly wage of six fifty, nifty
Now I'm off to slave quarters
With a whole bunch of other people's sons and daughters
Working so they can be mothers and fathers
Laboring real hard, hoping the boss offers
More petty cash to his bums and paupers
Kissing his ass cuz they hoping they prosper
Here's the math:
You work a third of ya day, away
The government takes a third of ya check, correct
You go home and drink cuz you don't get
An ounce of respect, and your spirit is wrecked
Life is a gift to be enjoyed, every second every minute
It's temporary, not infinite
Yet I find myself looking at the clock
hoping for the day to fly by, so I ask myself "Why?"
I'm doing this remedial work for second graders
I'm an educator with mega-flavor, so
Maybe I should just jump up and get ill
Maybe I should let these people know they're being killed
Maybe I should try my very best to chill, and get paid
Cuz I gotta pay bills, raa!

"Excuse me brother, can you please stop making that noise
so I can talk? Thank you. Now the boss says he wants you to come up
with more copies of these checks, and the last thing he wants is you to
move the desk to the basement, and can I have this stapler?"
("Hey there champ, big boss man says you been late
3 days in a row, better sharpen up")

Aw, this #ing place sucks - same # everyday
Like to wring the boss' neck though, if only dreams could come true

Dead boss, somebody call Red Cross
I guess he got caught up in my mental holocaust
How much did it cost?
Just a little piece of my mind for peace of mind
"But he's bleeding!"
Oh no, leave him. He'll be fine
He'll heal on his own
if you just give him some time
Considering the fact that his face is misaligned
His legs are over there lying right next to his spine

"Lunchtime!" Huh? Oh, Jesus, must have been daydreaming

My boss walks by, he's looking just like an a*shole
Smiling because he jerks niggas for minimum cash flow
He's cool to my face but I swear I heard him laugh though
Tickled by the fact that I'm the modern day Sambo
And just when I think that I'm about to go Rambo
I call up my man and he says he understands, yo
We all are being murdered by a similar process
Whether you work at the candy store
Or slave at the office
The purpose of our life is just to serve the economy
They misinform our minds to paint a picture of harmony
But if you listen then you know that #s out of tune
Cuz the function of our life is just to work and consume
# reaching out to help the next, there ain't any room
Just close your eyes and block your ears and march to your doom
But since I really ain't getting paid for my time
I pulled out my pen and started writing a rhyme
Can't you see that I'm busy, jerk?
Don't you dare approach me with busy work
Take another step and get hurt
By the man that embodies mad years of anger
A cool bro, soon to be the Boston Strangler
Everything inside of me is about to erupt
Cuz a righteous individual just likes to corrupt
I knew he'd lock me up if I started a brawl
So I deaden, and I punch the clock the # off the wall

"Yea that's right mother#er
you can't keep underpaying people and mistreating them all the time
That's gonna resort to crime.
As a matter of fact, you know what?
Faks, yo cut this mother#er(referring to scratching the record), man."

This songs pretty dope too.

Artist: Mr. Lif
Album: I Phantom
Song: Earthcrusher


Earthcrusher

At last, the day of the blast
Disaster, welcome to the hereafter
Government powers in conflict
In a world gone sick
And they're heavily equipped
With arms to melt down cities and farms
The final stage witness the force of pure rage
While we were all at work
Trying to earn a wage
The targets are on lock
They're ready to engage
Finally to put to use all of those years of bomb testing
And biological questing
For better ways to destroy and torment
Now let's feel what we've chosen to invent
Blast off! Everybody stand clear
Missiles are in the air to sever and sear
Thugs, executives and cops with tazers
Trees are dust, skyscrapers are vapors
I'mpact! Now nothing is intact
Take cover, we're under attack
Delivering oblivion, one already hit
But look out, here comes another
Earthcrusher!

".
This is what we always feared could happen
But never dreamed it would
Nuclear holocaust
Already hit China, Korea
Next destination: Japan"

Napalm scorched your backs
And you ask where your tax dollars went to
So now they have sent you
A demonstration, devastation
Four billion degrees of presentation
Courtesy of some major corporations
You might have had stock in
But money can't stop the toxin
They crippled your frame while you were walking
Now your mouths frothing
Inhale, poison has replaced oxygen
Your heart contracts, aorta snaps
Lungs collapse
Fluid exiled of urinary tracts
In this atmosphere to which nobody adapts
No more petty crimes, nickel sacks
Rap shows or raves
Sunshine and bull# holidays
Just radiation and tidal waves
Death to the modern day slaves
Running down the street with our arms raised
Atheists now give praise
The sounds of nuclear bombs
Whistle right past my ear
Headed towards Zaire
Many have died, but you better believe
That more are bound to suffer
Earthcrusher!

". 52 seconds since the last attack
Nearly a quarter of the earth's population wiped out
Added to the list of countries hit: Africa, West. uh, yo
I really don't know what's going to happen"

We support this through silence and complacency
While our government ruled the world under masonry
Made every nation regret their adjacency
Brutal hostility, now we're facing the
Worst burst of energy ever unleashed
I could have sworn I heard them say that they wanted peace
A quarter of the population is fully deceased
It's gotta cease, blood rush, my anger increase
Force, with no remorse
They need diffusion, knock em off course
About to unleash my own brand of holocaust
Gimme an ear mic, I'll start the air strike
Aimed at those who chose to
Sacrifice our lives cuz they're uncivilized
Surprise! Headed for the center of your eyes
Forty thousand megatons from my lungs
*whew*
My attack is stunning
Where the # are you running?
Incoming! World wide assault
I take out the US Government and then Russia
Earthcrusher!

"This just in, uh. New Zealand hit. Australia
I don't know what's going on. *screaming*
. Is this the US? Yeah, I know we got
Missiles on the pa-"
*BOOM!*

*rumbling* Oh my god
