The Prologue To Fanged Biting

* dedicated to Lil Wayne and Eminem, Drop The World


[The world is snake
to us opposed sharpened teeth
venomous grief, it is the poison
of giving up the scales of depression
allowed not forced wood beams rusty
metal nails
the antidote]



--------------------/The Prologue To Fanged Biting (Let It Burn); Saint Paul’s Words To the Snake That Bit Him

Brooding eyes fastened to alternately flickering, ferocious flames, I

apprehensively entertain arresting apparitions of those I once killed

men, women, children slaughtered for lies.

Ambient noises: crackling wood, hardy laughter of friends

do little to muffle or attenuate these blaring last breaths, screeching yelling

flashbacks vividly conjuring chilling echoes…epitaphs of humanity fallen

from their faces

deafening teardrops crashing to the ground below diluted with blood;

tremors of the innocent turning to me one last time

with bemused gazing, cheeks in mud.  Truth is

there is often a signature silence that precedes death

hollow musings or sacred whispering to the divine

as we stare back at each other

shadows cast on the seashore – silhouettes of a serpent latched

dangling from

a man damned - in this moment crystallized

that venomous fangs impale the hand of a man simply trying to prolong

the hearth (of life) with sticks in a bundle, we pause for a requiem. Winds of Eden

enfold my body comforting me for your curse of distortion-

presenting sticks as safe snake free, the tree of the knowledge of evil

as pure and the only good, the sinful life that produces salvation,

true joy and happiness birthed from disobedience-

and singing to me the promises of newness, reminders of hope

against all odds materialized by a Man on a cross hanging from nails

freeing us to live forever.

Biting as presage, attempted murder on a proven murderer as

natures vigilante justice now just a slick sinister philosophy

though there is poison inside of me, I have never felt more alive.

The old order is dead your hissing a dirge for the old world passing away

along with the paradigm of slithering. An eye for an eye a lie for a lie

like your sanctuary of sticks, stimulus for a New World philosophy

and fuel for change,

those martyrs I made did not leave this earth in vain

they were saints and heralds for this age of Resurrection,

in which none of us will ever see death (especially for me, not here)

let anyone or anything else contrarian burn

**Shrugs and throws the snake back into the fire**

----------------Acts 28:1-6

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.


------------Drop the World Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes
Hate in my heart, love in my mind
I seen nights full of pain, days of the same
You keep the sunshine, save me the rain
I search but never find, hurt but never cry
I work and forever try, but I'm cursed so never mind
And it's worse but better times seem further and beyond
The top gets higher, the more that I climb
The spot gets smaller and I get bigger
Tryna get into where I fit in, no room for a nigga
But soon for a nigga it be on motherf*
Cause all this bullshit, it made me strong motherf*

[Chorus:]
So I pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your f*' head, yeahh!
Bitch, I'm a pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your f*' head
(YEAH) And I could die now rebirth mother f*
Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth
Motherf* I'm gone
Motherf* I'm gone

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Uhhhh!
I know what they don't wanna tell you
Just hope you're heaven sent, and you're hell proof
I walk up in the world and cut the lights off
And confidence is a stain they can't wipe off
Uhhh, my word is my pride
But wisdom is bleak and that's a word from the wise
Served to survive, murdered and bribed
And when it got too heavy I put my burdens aside

[Chorus:]
So I could pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your f*' head, ha ha yeahh!
Bitch, I'm a pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your f*' head
(YEAH) And I could die now rebirth mother f*
Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth
Motherf* I'm gone
Motherf* I'm gone
[Eminem:]
I'm gone

[Verse 3: Eminem]
It hurts but I never show, this pain you'll never know
If only you could see just how lonely and how cold
And frostbit I've become, my back's against the wall
When push comes to shove I just stand up and scream 'F* 'em all! '
Man it feels like these walls are closin' in
This roof is cavin' in, but it's time to raise it then
Your days are numbered like pages
And my book of rhymes got them crookin' boy
This crooked mind of mine got them all shook
And scared to look in my eyes
I stole that *' clock, I took the time
And I came up from behind and pretty much snuck up
And butt f* this game up
Better be careful when you bring my name up
F* this fame, that ain't what I came to claim
But the game ain't gonna be the same on the day that I leave it
But I swear one way or another I'm a make these f*' haters believe it
I swear to God, won't spare the rod
I'm a man of my word, so your f*' heads better nod
Or I'm a f* around in this bitch and roast everybody
Sleep on me that pillow is where your head'll lie
Permanently b*, it's beddy bye
This world is my Easter egg, yeah prepare to die
My head is swole, my confidence is up
This stage is my pedestal, I'm unstoppable
Incredible hulk you're trapped in my medicine bowl
I could run circles around you so fast your f* head'll spin, dawg
I split your cabbage and your lettuce and olives
I'll f*'

[Chorus:]
Pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your f*' head, yeahh!
Bitch, I'm a pick the world up and I'm a drop it on your f*' head
And I could die now rebirth mother f*
Hop up in my spaceship and leave Earth
Mother f* I'm gone
Mother f* I'm gone
I'm gone
