In the Midst of the Assassin
Verse 1
Face to the floor,
X bows acknowledging the grace of The Lord
For he is well aware that his faith is the door
Allowing him to escape and raise his sword
To awake from his prison
So from here on, he will never break this commission
Enemies turn chicken seeing the thanks he’s been giving
Yet there seems to be another mission
Given the tip in his sleep, can’t miss a beat
X grits his teeth, learns to be quick on his feet
Preparations for the 5th hit this week
Holds his shit in discreet to unload clips in the street
Whips out the heat, drop one gun, switch, then repeat
Silohettes of darkness blitz a retreat
X imagines what’s fixing to be, anticipation and anxiety mixed in with grief
A gift to the chief and it shifts to relief
Verse 2
Fearing God if the Ultimate Soldier appears
X maintains wisdom and weapons he’s gained over the years
This agent uses his head to store quotes or statements
As for the arms, he stores below in the basements
Safe keeping for anything X may be needing
Easy access to go and get when the time is appropriate
Choice of the wide array to slice and slay from lesser threats
That conquer to rocket launchers, better yet
He won’t encounter any enemy he’s never met
So it’s likely that he can tell the tame
Especially since X is well trained
He knows which tools can make them yell in pain
Although you can smell the rain, it will never quell the hellish flame
When in the end, all that will prevail is The Name
Learn the lessons of weapons and you need not be alarmed
When God’s Warrior is properly armed
Verse 3
X is now prepared for the battle
He brings light through the darkness where he travels
So if you don’t know better than not to laugh
Then I strictly advise you stay the fuck off his path
In the woods staked lies deep in wait
X sees the estate, determines his fate
And plans of escape
Ready to seize the front gate
The guards have ceased as of late
Their armor may be state of the art
But The Lord tells X how to take it apart
Straight from the start
Plus, the enemy troops are faint in the heart
Squirmish before the skirmish, each takes a headshot evenly placed
Taste of case as the victims bleed in the face
They’re breathing with haste
But the marksman must keep up his pace
Verse 4
Inside the residents have only mere seconds
To respond to the gunshots
With the guards eliminated the front door is unlocked
Gunfire shatters through windows – casualties without sun-block
Each with only one dot
Then all comes to stop
The scene seems to be at its norm
Except this is just the quiet before the storm
Suddenly, once again
He waits for the swift gust of wind
The only audible sound when X dusts your men
As the sword juts in
The exposed features of the guts are grim
And with two hacks, he cuts the limbs
It’s not his blood pouring from his hands
So all is going according to plan
Verse 5
X knows that the deadliest guys have got nothing to lose
Something to prove, and are ready to die
The Truth never lies, a sai for an eye
Makes the whole world blind as these men and their lives say their goodbyes
Slugs in the air embracing their sides
They might as well lock themselves in a room to be slain while they cry
Clips let fly so the clothes drip red dye
So beware of the Angel of Death
The blood that covers the floor is now ankle depth
You intestines are on the ground by the time you’ve seen some of it
Because no matter how hard you try, you can’t stomach it
X reloads seeing the writhing mass when he looked at the dead
Too bad he didn’t see the katana that took off his head
Subtle thud on the ground blood gushing around
X feels no pain oddly
Signals from his brain have just been severed from his main body
Verse 6
Everything in the world spins and whirls
Mob boss man gags then he hurls
Reflex response after he sees gore
Bodes float in blood – guns sink to the sea floor
X, no head, lay twitching strapped with C-4
Blocking the exit of boss man’s trapped door
Murky red waters splish-splash
The boss searches for escape in the wake of the rift-raft
So he moves X’s body – pull there tug here
Trying to get it away from the door drug clear
Then everything goes from bad to severe
Decapitated vessels in mirror see more than appears
Boss man though X was done but didn’t check his thumb
Mistake made, but it won’t be made twice
X detonated the explosive device
Lost heads don’t mean instant defeat,
Because in this instance, it means
MISSION COMPLETE
