Von Poe Vii Glory
Introduction:
All hail The Villain. We're gonna end it like this, from Purgatory to Glory. Rise up, wise men from the West. Organized Threat, The Purity of Love and War
[Verse One]
You know that kid
Back in 98
Before he had the throwback kicks
Back in 92
Before he had the skills to tie his shoe
He was dancing out to Poison
Or singing bout The Blues
Could have caught on that VHS
Reppin the culture
A young nigga
Always had a smile around the vultures
Stuck with the passion
Through many trials and tribulations
Digging through crates and
He bet his life against the matrix
This is where we meet up
The flow is tougher than Midas
The sidelines
I'm writing rhymes
For those like Leonidas
Revenge of the Titans
Feel the wrath of the Black Assassin
You couldn't pop him off
With a million dollars in your mattress
An Emcee
Live with a purpose or die forgotten
I done sacrificed so many things
This house has turned too rotten
A hollow shell existence
For those who's wishing the death of me
You couldn't kill him off
I applaud your dedication
The voice of the people
You couldn't picture the bigger picture
Like living out in Flint
Without a dime to change the filter
The voice of the people
You couldn't picture the bigger picture
Like living out in Flint
Without a dime to change the filter
Goddamn
[Chorus]
I was searching for a purpose
I never new what my worth was
Battle off against Kings
While dragons fly above us
This is just a moment in time
I'm realizing that
Mortal men battle
From purgatory to glory
[Verse Two]
The Clash of the Titans
Battle through elements for Olympus
Zeus swinging Leviathan
Hades standing against the Four Winds
I beg to differ
Meet me at the cross road in all gold
The rode of the Holiest
Silk woven from the Iron Fist creator
The God is greater
My wordplay reflects the verbal four play
My sword swings beheadings all day
Death to the bourgeoisie
Word to my Black Utopia
Prophecies written in stones thrown
Predict euphoria, word
Don't get it twisted
I could switch it up like ring tones
And flip a couple stones like Flintstones
With my demeanor baby
Young black and restless
Still adding checks to my check list
Wooden floors against your flesh
Reflect your death wish
I choose better
Long haul for the run
You respect the efforts
I've never been afraid of defeat
Or regret the weather
Sunny side up
Lay the bacon down
When I hit em' off
I'm peeling off of the block
A couple shots against political devils
And money rules the world if you let it
My nigga wise up
Cause everything that's nice ain't Lennon
Or Michael Jackson
Sony assassinated the King
And Martin is still fighting for a dream
God bless em
[Chorus]
I was searching for a purpose
I never new what my worth was
Battle off against Kings
While dragons fly above us
This is just a moment in time
I'm realizing that
Mortal men battle
From purgatory to glory (2x)
From purgatory to glory
Purgatory to glory
Mortal men battle
From purgatory to glory
