Mightier Than the Sword

I'm spittin' with the venom
To your soul through flesh and denim
I kill every opponent with the message that I send 'em
And I leave 'em with no heart beatin', the lungs breathin'
Their last thought was questionin' the demon they believe in
Forcin' me to start kickin' mental martial arts
Piercin' they hearts, with all these metaphorical darts
Make use of this verbal abuse and call a truce
'Cause the verse hurts worse and works quick as a noose
Stop frontin', you wantin' my mouth to stop runnin'
Some sought assault, but the thoughts kept comin'
The last man who tried, well, he died in his sleep
I can't believe what I was saying put him six feet deep
Diagnosed with an overload flow to his brain
I guess the truth that I told him must've drove him insane
Any rough *scratches* can pull the trigga', but I'm bigga'
The poisoned lyrics make you sick quicka' than liquor
Go blast your gun, I'mma be the one
Who'll be yellin' victory when all is said and done, son

Now I'm battlin' my wars with chords and metaphors
Lord knows the pen's mightier than the sword
Armed with my thoughts and the almighty force
For sure, the pen's mightier than the sword
Destroy the flesh, but the core will endure
Of course the pen's mightier than the sword

[Short Instrumental Break]

So blow me up with a bomb, I'll move on and go beyond
Like the wayward son and carry on
I'm forever green, I'm what you never seen before
What you thought was raw was far from hardcore
I'm alive on a compact disc, I never miss, I always hit
Assuring I'll forever exist, three times as arrogant as cannabis is
Now they teaching classes, calling it the "Borial-Analysis"
I grip the mic as if I'm never gonna pass it
When I spit the ancient and eternal to the masses
Enthusiastic, opposite of plastic
Just recorded this shit, and it's already classic
Man on a mission, holdin' my position
With no war paints, just poetic ammunition

Now I'm battlin' my wars with chords and metaphors
Lord knows the pen's mightier than the sword
Armed with my thoughts and the almighty force
For sure, the pen's mightier than the sword
Destroy the flesh, but the core will endure
Of course the pen's mightier than the sword

[Short Instrumental Break]

Combat without physical contact, you're under attack
Gettin' bashed, smashed, slashed, and gashed
With the sharp tongue, piercin' your eardrum
It's fearsome, slingin' your gun son, I ain't even got one
I'm doin' what I say, and sayin' what I mean
With words that cut clean from a poet supreme
I flip the Tai-Chi Chuan, droppin' terrorist bombs
With blood from Lebanon like Kahlil Gibran
I reside in the hills outside the city walls
Behind closed doors with the infinite source
While you're dwellin' in your hood, inhalin' the smog
I'll be in the woods, puffin' logs talkin' to God
Uninvolved with ya'll, I'm watchin' all far from afar
Loungin' on the mountain tops, countin' the stars

Now I'm battlin' my wars with chords and metaphors
Lord knows the pen's mightier than the sword
Armed with my thoughts and the almighty force
For sure, the pen's mightier than the sword
Destroy the flesh, but the core will endure
Of course the pen's mightier than the sword
Mightier than the sword
Mightier than the sword
Mightier than the sword
