The Procession

[Verse 1: Stray]
Under the gun, October sun, I'm on the run
Competing with me and myself in the eyes of everyone
Keeping 'em stunned from seeing their lung
Capacity, I proceed with ease daily
Keep my composure while swinging machetes
I call it wreck technique neck gripped with tension
Then I chuck the deuces like my name was Kenny
Whip like a towel on a stepchild
Broken and bruised, I still manage to smile
Until a day where everything changed
Those forming shadows have long cast away
Away from my side, away from my space
I can't hear their voice it’s all been erased
Yet they remain on my tongue like a taste
Nauseous at first, now I'm craving the plate
Give me that beef, I only break bread with thieves
Steal from your soul and I feast on your greed
The son of October but I never set
The weather is cold but you feeling my heat
Oh you fucks don't agree? Geez you gotta be kidding me please
You could stay silent or hide in a breeze
A ghost in a shell sounds like past tense to me
I'm here in this bedlam, I’ve bloomed, it's for cheap

[Pre-Chorus: Stray]
So shall I proceed? (So shall I proceed)
Do I recluse in my cave? (Recluse in my cave) R.I.P (R.I.P)
I tasted the blood (I tasted the blood), applied it with pressure (Applied it with pressure)
So ready the walls (Ready the walls), we go down together (Go down together)

[Chorus: Stray]
Bastardized by the light so now I'm here, a bottom feeder (Yeah)
Famished, snacking off the scraps that fall like the autumn leaves (Go down together)
I pray I surface in due time, never was a fan of leisure (Naw)
Caught the spins as I rose, climbin' too fast y'all can't keep up

[Verse 2: Stray]
Jump when I say so, let's see who ascends to the heights where we're told that
All of our prayers go, peek through the veil, see what the next world entails
Maybe we can't go, sink through the sand, nothing but dust bitch
I'm only a fable for the next to avoid what brought on the tears of a scarecrow
Down on the ground, I know you've been hurt
Lead towards the light that ended in dirt
But I brought my shovel and ready to dig
And I'll slit the neck on any who hiss
I promise I’ll carry this scene on my back
Or at least 'til I sleep in the black Cadillac
So those who oppose load up your gats
I'm gunning for all, bring no prisoners back

[Pre-Chorus: Stray]
So shall I proceed? (So shall I proceed)
Do I recluse in my cave? (Recluse in my cave) R.I.P (R.I.P)
I tasted the blood (I tasted the blood), applied it with pressure (Applied it with pressure)
So ready the walls (Ready the walls), we go down together (Go down together)

[Chorus: Stray]
Bastardized by the light so now I'm here, a bottom feeder
Famished, snacking off the scraps that fall like the autumn leaves
I pray I surface in due time, never was a fan of leisure
Caught the spins as I rose, climbin' too fast y'all can't keep up
