If I Return
[Verse 1: The R.O.C.]
Now I've never been a roller
Skin still black, color of a Coca-Cola
[?] yeah they call me Erik Spoelstra
Turn back around, homebound, feeling kosher
Holster my dreams for the nightmares, take them all first
Get the hardest out the way, inside I'm chased by a hearse
Never worse or better, never better or worse
See the man in the mirror looking crazy or alert, please
The medication leaves me vacant, stay basing
Is this shit helping? 'Cause my thoughts are on vacation
Vanish the forsaken, will I be forgiven by myself?
I'm always here, sort of in stealth mode
[?] track (Get 'em)
Anticipate me like a messiah [?] ('Cause)
We're on a journey now, what change you lack (Yes)
I'm still here, I never faded to black, [?]
[Chorus: Jamie Madrox]
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
If I unload, I unload last to survive
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
If I unload, I unload last to survive
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
[Verse 2: Jamie Madrox]
Told the doctor fix the dose
Damaged by the memory of hurtful, hateful jokes
Find me in the room with the anger and wrong folks
They're blind to my existence, got me feeling like a ghost
Brick wall every time I feel I'm getting close
They shattered all my dreams and decimated all my hope
Got me wondering if what I'm feeling now is just a hoax
Got me wondering if what I'm feeling now is just a hoax
Visionaries never gon' be blinded by the sight
Thinking in the dark 'cause they shut off all of our lights
Saying what I won't do but thinking of what I might
Seen less make a weak man wanna fight
Break me down 'til there's no repair
You can kill me now, I'm ready, I don't care *gunshot*
Lay me to rest with the roses black
Pray to the heavens to let me come back
[Chorus: Jamie Madrox]
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
If I unload, I unload last to survive
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
If I unload, I unload last to survive
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
[Verse 3: Blaze Ya Dead Homie]
When I return, not if, you better kill that shit
I'm coming back for everything, they gonna feel that shit
Sixteen in the chamber and one in the clip
You know about the mind, I pack the hollow tips
Don't test the dead, I stay gangsta
Dead man stalking, creeping on you like it's cancer
Try to talk me off the ledge, you had your chance
Better off you [?] this is your last dance
Now you fought the feeling, smashing all ceilings
Fuck what they thought, never been about [?]
Always been about peeling caps, guarantee your dirt nap
So if you in my path, better take a step back, bitch
I've returned so many times (Many times)
With bullet holes and rotted mind (Rotted mind)
Demons attached to my bones (To my bones)
When I return, I'm not alone, not alone
[Chorus: Jamie Madrox]
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
If I unload, I unload last to survive
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
If I unload, I unload last to survive
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
[Bridge: Jamie Madrox]
Life's a bitch sometimes, fuck with me
Like to spend a little time trying to believe
That the world's not always out to get me
But I'm usually wrong, so I guess we'll see
[Chorus: Jamie Madrox]
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
If I unload, I unload last to survive
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
If I unload, I unload last to survive
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
[Outro]
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
([?])
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
([?] down here, so they're looking for the truth)
If I unload, I unload last to survive
([?])
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
([?])
If I return, I'm returning like fifty-fold
([?])
If I'm gunning, I'm gunning many shells when I unload
([?] down here, so they're looking for the truth)
If I unload, I unload last to survive
([?])
It's the start of what's happening when I come back alive
([?])
[Spoken: Jamie Madrox]
They were all supposed to be priceless
Not human money bags for price tags
The family you hate, the one it took us to create
Rolls over in its grave every time it hears you say
This side is better than that
We were all supposed to be equal
Not beneath one ruler's thumb
Or told what to do by anybody like you
For the sake of the brotherhood, look what you've become
Become
Become
Become
