Birth of the Skykrow by Skykrow Lyrics
[Intro]
Everybody just wants to know, who the fuck is Skykrow. I'm 'bout to tell ya
[Verse 1 - Skykrow]
It all started when i was 8 watching 8 mile sitting on the floor when some kids screaming bloody murder were banging on the door
They went swimming in the lake at the dike and met fate by the moonlight you only get one life so
When Without Me hit i was lickin' my lips like lickety split man this shit is the tits
But after that, i wasn't a fan of rap. Talkin' bitches and gats, its all the same crap
My sister left me a mix tape of metal. Sick straight benevolent devils horns for the hell of it
Introduced me to slipknot the time stops ticking away the clocks stopped for hip hop
What really shaped me was escaping through the instrumentals of metal, and screaming like their mental
I taught myself everything that i know
Nobody to guide this independent soul
My dad was barely there tryin' his best, while my mom was at the bar taking two to the chest
Then 911 happened the world was gaspin', everybody was runnin' and they couldn't hear nothing except
What sounded like a bomb blast, another airplane crash
It was over in a flash, both towers glassed
The presidents talking weapons of mass destruction, but he only wanted oil so the armies in vast production
War torn the desert cities and famine
Tank loot like pirate ships four mortars the cannons (They're droppin' bombs!)
Faces scraped, not safe the cityscape
A shitty waste, lives died on FUCKIN' LIES
Buried in the sand-box, i can-not support tyranny, are you even hearin' me?
My time is due, ACU's fit snug
Rally up the troops, Skykrow is born anew!
[Chorus - Skykrow]
You can stay the same, or be reborn in phoenix flames
Burn your past, arise from the ashes with
Wings ablaze, i shake off my grave remains
Fresh start, the old me is worlds apart
You can stay the same, or be reborn in phoenix flames
Burn your past, arise from the ashes with
Wings ablaze, i shake off my grave remains
Fresh start, the old me is worlds apart
[Verse 2 - Skykrow]
Ever since i was 14 i had a thing for the goth emo scene and all the in between
That's when i went to my first concert mind blown open like a bomb burst
At how amazing music is, using it, as a weapon. Disturbed now my heads spun
After that i got my first guitar with a quick start shredding hot licks i was fucking sick
Somehow i stayed away from the drugs, stayed away from the slugs, never needed a plug, except a headphone jack, steady on the attack, music is like my crack, its always got my back
Through the tough times, especially the rough kind
Love and rays of sunshine
Sometimes i just wish i had some time to unwind my mind but its constantly online
The Metal is primary, switch the code to rap. Now that's binary. Switch the mode to cannibus now you're living vicariously, through the weed
Why stressed and angry when you don't have it you're addicted!
Quit being a dick kid, what you have is a sickness
That needs to get treated to overcome your weakness
Defeat this evil battle like Normandy beach I'm normally speechless
[Verse 3 Beat Switch - Skykrow]
Headed down a dark path
In the valley of the shadow of death
At least whats shallow and left
An empty carcass hearkens, barking like a sergeant
Starving like thin armies skin markings like grim carvings
[Bridge - Skykrow]
The face of depression, a cesspool of seclusion, illusions, dreaming lucid, its fucking stupid
[Chorus 2 - Skykrow]
So you can stay the same, or be reborn in phoenix flames
Burn your past, arise from the ashes with
Wings ablaze, i shake off my grave remains
Fresh start, the old me is worlds apart
You can stay the same, or be reborn in phoenix flames
Burn your past, arise from the ashes with
Wings ablaze, i shake off my grave remains
Fresh start, the old me is worlds apart
You can stay the same, or be reborn in phoenix flames
Burn your past, arise from the ashes with
Wings ablaze, i shake off my grave remains
Fresh start, the old me is worlds apart
You can stay the same, or be reborn in phoenix flames
Burn your past, arise from the ashes with
Wings ablaze, i shake off my grave remains
Fresh start, the old me is worlds apart
Everybody just wants to know, who the fuck is Skykrow. I'm 'bout to tell ya
