The Mask

[Verse 1: The ROC]
Off I go, to get a mask for my fuckin' face
The thirty-first fills my heart with joy and pain
Walk to the costume store to get a mask that fits
Ain't this a bitch, it's closed, so I start to panic, shit
Look in the glass, there's the mask I had a dream about
A face of a man called the R.O.C. from the House Of Krazees
A rap group, he's a fucking loser
A psycho murderer, myth has it that he's still alive
I break the glass, an alarm sounds, I'm quick to pick
Up the fucking mask, I'm jettin' 'fore they catch me with
The stolen goods, I had to have it, understand
Walk around with a fucking mad man upon your face
A damn shame, he holds so much power
As you can see, I wanna be him, so I can really see what he sees
I ducked into an ally quick as I can
I shook the law with the long arm, lucky that I'm fast enough
What the fuck? Who can I trust? I can't go see the crew
So I go to my woman's house, it's a round two

[Interlude: The ROC]
Who is it?
Me
Hi, honey. What's wrong?
Nothin'. I bought the mask
Try it on
Oh my God!
What's wrong? What? What?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Chorus]
Uh, the mask is a very evil and deadly thing (The Mask)
Nothing that any ordinary human being would want (The Mask)
So the perpetrators are either dangerous or inhuman (The Mask)
You make the choice (The Mask)
The mask is a very evil and deadly thing (The Mask)
Nothing that any ordinary human being would want (The Mask)
So the perpetrators are either dangerous or inhuman (The Mask)
You make the choice (The Mask)

[Verse 2: Hektic]
I need a mask, I need a mask, quick
Fog's gettin' thick, ain't no time to bullshit
Here we go, on the day after hallow's eve
Memory lapses, fallin' to my knees
No chance to think a thought, about who I wanna be
Leavin' it to Bones or R.O.C
Creep down the block, fiendin' for a disguise
But still I know who I am in the Devil's eyes
Rise all the souls from the chosen few
I spot a mask on the grave, what should I do?

[Interlude: Hektic]
Go ahead, boy, grab the mask! Ha ha ha ha ha!
But, but, will it kill me?
You need not worry about the dead, more less the living
Fuck it

[Verse 3: Hektic]
So what, I'm dead, tricked by the man, why did he cheat me?
What was his name, oh yeah, Uncle Kreepy
Hektic's the name of my mask, killin' reality
Blamin' the night that's upon, takin' my sanity
Six feet, a dirty hole, it's a restin' spot
Nobody gets the mask that I got
Takin' it off, it won't come off straight, wait
I think I got it, too late! Ha ha ha!

[Chorus]
The mask is a very evil and deadly thing (The Mask)
Nothing that any ordinary human being would want (The Mask)
So the perpetrators are either dangerous or inhuman (The Mask)
You make the choice (The Mask)
The mask is a very evil and deadly thing (The Mask)
Nothing that any ordinary human being would want (The Mask)
So the perpetrators are either dangerous or inhuman (The Mask)
You make the choice (The Mask)

[Verse 4: Mr. Bones]
Stepped inside the store to find the mask
On the night in question, carefully steppin'
Down the aisle way, pickin' up the pace
I need a new mask to cover my fuckin' face
Got the gloves on my hands, I don't leave no prints
Gettin' the fifth degree from this elderly bitch

[Interlude: Mr. Bones]
Can I help you?
I need a mask
Well, what kind of mask? We have all kinds
A mask of a killer
Uh, I'm sorry, sir, I can't help you
I need a mask
No
The mask of a killer

[Verse 5: Mr. Bones]
Quickly pointed to the mask on the wall
It was a mysterious face of a skull
She said that it was the last of its kind
And maybe I should try it on for size
Slipped it on over my head and closed my eyes
Started to breathe, to my immense surprise
Something happened, it melted to my skin
As if I had committed some type of great sin
Screamin' in pain, I ran to hit the streets
On more night before we got out and trick-or-treat
