[Verse 1: Consensus]

Horse legged, they're assuming I walk less

Refuse to be force fed by a strategized appetiser

Mouth wide open I'm an Adam sized apple biter

Files downloaded from the fact of life app designer

Message received through satellite active flier:

Frequent flier miles, gas for higher

I said message received through the Channel 5 passive liar:

Liar, wait 'til you catch alight, pants on fire!

Fire, wait 'til you catch alight, massive pyre!

Liar...wait 'til you catch alight!

I guess you've met your match before gas ignites

I've not once met my match in any man alive!

I see the slaughterer preparing the lambs juice

The torturer preparing the man noose

When taught to be the bearer of bad news

You ought to be aware of the plan

'Cos important what you wear when the main shoots


[Hook: Consensus]

I dare you to shoot the messenger!

I dare you to shoot the messenger!

Acting like you're not the same as the rest of us!

You're not the same as the best of us!

And that's why you got the blame!

I dare you to shoot the messenger!

I dare you to shoot the messenger!

Acting like you're not the same as the rest of us!

You're not the same as the best of us!

And that's why you got the blame!


[Verse 2: PhybaOptikz]

The Morse code beeps, vital message released

Marine methods - on the radar - keep my enemies fleet

Tempers kept at bay, anchors deep like cemetery sleep..

The connection with my team elite, embedded in speech

'Murder she wrote', riddled within the words of the quotes

A skirmish of notes, with episodes of bourbon enclosed

Sealed the envelope, delivered fresh with perfect approach

Colloquial, every prose gifts a curse in a dose, spoke..

Holding Mont blancs, ink-stains in fonts bronze

Me and Con stomp a stampede across your Tom Tom

You're messing with the wrong dons, brother we're beyond strong

Far from a message in a bottle, this is Carte Blanche..

It's hard to fathom the mechanics in this labyrinth

Where man are running marathons and trying to grasp the captioning

To catch a glimpse, but motherfucker you ain't catching it..

You're trying to shoot the messenger before he hits the lab again..


[Hook: Consensus]


[Verse 3: Consensus]

I said since things connect within my intellect, as though the internet....

Then I'm way passed a telephonist

Right where I want to be, stay far from the left of it

Don't shoot the messenger take part in the messages

Mind your own business or change half the receptionists

Mark of the penmanship, as God is my witness

I may start with the lettering, it's hard to forget this ish

My word is my bond, is James armed with the pen and ink

The first veteran, brave-heart, pedestrian

Exists in ideas form, I think I therefore change parts of everything

Descartes and Edison

That's page after page of trademark intelligence

Start with the text, its way harder to reference it

Stance of the message is... mmmm-master of sentences!

The way I'm passed caring is strange part of me never did

Part of me never is

I dare you to shoot the messenger!
