Old Friends

[Verse 1]
He's on his way and we've already tried
To save him and appealed to his softer side
So now I, I gotta ride destroy him if it comes to that
Tetsuo, when are you coming back?
Cause I don't see you
Broken people with broken feelings in this broke city
From broken families stuck together to make a living
And heard the prophets steady speaking 'bout apocalypse
So my friend, it seems that the prophecy came true
I'll kill you if I need to if this laser keeps the charge
Cause I've watched you change
And I know you're not the same there from the start
That time the army kept you, that place your mind went to
I'm here to free you even if that means stopping your heart
And you walk to Olympic Stadium
And I ride weaving through cars hoping that I can face him
And when we met each other I shoot first and aim patient
Good for your health, bad for your education

[Chorus] X 2
And I'ma stand on the mountain and sit on the throne
And if these people standing in my way I'll do it alone
It's a path through our history what we gone through
Man, you know how old friends do

[Verse 2]
Yuh, who holds the power now?
What force can stop me now when I can stop a missile
Before it's fuse is out
I hear them talking but their words are steady drowning out
All I hear's Akira in my head so I'ma seek him out
Just a path of destruction and mass production
Of army and military functions trying to stun me
But this path it leads me to the stadium where I'm gonna be
Every step with purpose in front of me
Yo Kaneda, can you see inside my eyes
That little brother used to idolize and look up to you
But now I look at you disgusted
Cause you're weak and I'm much, much more powerful
I hear you speak but it's doubtful that I'll listen
I built this throne from human flesh and bone
And synthesized an arm from metal scrap
And now it's time to find out where Akira's at
We've had our fun but now it's time to meet him too
Man, you know how old friends do
