[Intro: Masta Ace]

The Masta, the Acer

Lost is the ghetto dweller trapped in a cage

There's no way out of the death trap


[Chorus: The Gatekeeper]

You can't come back (Back)

No matter what you do when you fall in a death trap

You can't come back (Back)

No matter what you do when you fall


[Verse 1: The Gatekeeper]

Time and time again life's getting shorter

Fear in the air, what appears is the porter

A nigga named Stef, was shooting up meth

With some coke, had a stroke, so I chilled for his death

Time has arrived, fallen one mine

All the sin stepping in, on my face is a grin

Another dumb vic once moved, now stiff

Grabbed him by the wrist, come to the abyss

Meet Katie, abortion was known with this lady

A Ph.D. many degrees, had Mercedes car

She took it to a bar and got lit

Like a skunk, got drunk, danced, met a punk

Boom, she took the car to the nigga's pad

She didn't want to kick it so the bitch got stabbed

Wrong place and wrong time, don't exist no more

Or for, according to the Gravedigga law

So watch what you do 'fore a fool talks back

And behold, riding on your shoulder's a deathtrap


[Chorus: The Gatekeeper]

Yo, you can't come back (Back!)

No matter what you do when you fall in a deathtrap

You can't come back (Back!)

No matter what you do when you fall


[Verse 2: The RZArector]

Yo, this crab named Black, brother sell up crack

And it's a natural fact, in his pockets he had stacks

Bad ass Bimmer he drove, probably sold his soul

To get a hold of the chrome and gold

True, he felt good as he walked his hood

Being hunted every night like a bear in the woods

See cops play the role of a fox

If they catch your ass out on the block, hock, it's back to the penalty box

But Black was the type that was like

"Yo, fuck the C-Ciphers, I gots to get papes every night"

Kills but you can't for-gills

C-Ciph-ills, ain't the only niggas on the blill

He had like a quarter mill stashed on him

With the click, came through, and he blasted 'em

So perhaps you're catching mad snaps like that

Nigga Black, smack, but you caught by the Deathtrap


[Chorus: The Gatekeeper]

You can't come back (Back)

No matter what you do when you fall in a deathtrap

You can't come back (Back)

No matter what you do when you fall

You can't come back (Back)

No matter what you do when you fall in a deathtrap

You can't come back (Back)

No matter what you do when you fall


[Verse 3: The Grym Reaper]

Lizzie had a body like a Lexus Coupe

Her step-father was rocking the cradle, banging her boots

Her heartbeat increased at night, she couldn't sleep

Daddy dearest, was bringing her grief between sheets

Deep scars invaded her soul force and mind

Six years of torture started at age nine

At age sixteen already an old maid

It seems, she was caught like Freddy in a bad dream

Meanwhile her body is being defiled

Telling her mother, only brought a stage of denial

Moms telling pops to low-down, led to a showdown

For a week shit slowed down

But one night overcome by lust

Father Dukes tried to score just one more thrust

He should've held back 'cause Lizzie got an axe

Gave his dick forty whacks and threw his ass in the death...


[Outro: The Gatekeeper]

You can't come back (Back, back)
