[Verse 1: Cataphant]
Half dead on the way up
Ammo's all been cleared out
Man, you're really killing me
But I love a chance to turn the tide
So come at me swinging, looking for a fight
Burry my weapons in the ground
You can't take what I lay down
[Chorus: Cataphant]
Nobody takes my life
Nobody takes my life
Nobody takes my life
Nobody takes my
I lay it down (for You)
I lay it down (for You)
I lay it down (for You)
I lay it down (for You)
I lay it
[Verse 2: Cataphant]
I beat you to the punch
With a heart that softens the blows
And you can't stop my gentleness
And I'm going to love you to death
[Chorus: Cataphant]
Nobody takes my life (nobody takes my life)
Nobody takes my life (nobody takes my life)
Nobody takes my life (nobody takes my life)
Nobody takes my (nobody take, take, take)
I lay it down (for You)
I lay it down (for You)
I lay it down (for You)
I lay it down (for You)
I lay it
[Verse 3: JGivens & Cataphant]
Death is the start of the next
Part
See a star go from 'Hova
To solar
The land on the land like a rover
To supernova, to roll stone over
Shake the spi-zot
Celebrate mine on the day of the dead
But tell her, "take wine to the table of bread"
Now, what's homicide if I lay it instead?
She said "suicide"
So I says to Mabel, I says
Have you ever seen a dead body, dig calmly
From the root of a palm tree to the tip top
And did not stop, drop, roll the rock, woah
Like a black Rob Zombie
Necro-hip hop
Friendships sail farther
If you start 'em with martyrdom
Guard 'em all that you g-got
Trade noose for slip knot
And slip 'not
Tied you to, the author of time rock
Tick-tock
So what matters to the wings of a scavenger
Starving, like artists
Between a cadaver and carcases scattered
As one brings synthetic means to and end
Life springs from the latter
