Prepare Yourselves - Intellectual

[Intro]

This asylum in my mind, it isn't real

I became lost in this false reality

And I lost everything, everyone I ever cared about

It's done

[Verse 1]

I feel like it was yesterday I lived in an apartment

Lost my grandmother in August '09, slowly then, I parted

From myself then dropped an EP

Cold, confused, and empty hearted

Now I'm back, I put my headphones on and yell let's get it started

I'm a beast on the mic, want to see someone fight

For their dreams and their rights to be what they like

I'm mean when I write and seem out of sight

Don't clean out the bite, just bleed out the fright

Now sing loud and bright and let them know

That Kas is back again, don't let that go

It means too much, now grip that shit

And hold on tight and set that goal

Now step back, whoa, he's killing this shit

This right here is as real as it gets

He tries so hard, but it still isn't meant

To be because nobody can feel his intent

Yet they hear what he says and see what he does

Don't go home, better plea for the buzz

Show them what you got then see what a fuss

Is made 'til everybody wants to be one of us

Now see what it does? Break that flow

Haters get jealous and I hate that no-

-Body ever wants to see others make that dough

I can keep pushing forward, but I stay back though

I ain't in it for the money cause I’ve been broke, man

Trying to get a 9 to 5 ever since '08

Said fuck it in '11, I'll just tie my shoes

And take this ball and run it to the end zone, game

[Chorus]

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

[Verse 2]

Started off slow, now I'm racing to win

Didn't mean to go crazy, but face it, I did

I lost my mind, if I say this again

I’m afraid of what I'll do, man, I pray it's the end

I'm chasing the wind in a dark night storm

And I'm coming to see how far I've torn

Away from myself and I'm blaming my health

But I'm the only one who killed the star I mourn

Now I'm talking to myself and it kind of makes me

Seem all insane, but it irritates me

That people have been judging me so much lately

I feel like I'm alone and everybody hates me

But then there are those times that I feel God shows me signs

That everything will be ok, but then I feel like those are lies

And I feel like I'm despised, no one wants me in their lives

So I look into the mirror and see the hatred in my eyes

And that is how I look at the devil inside

People want to know his name, it's irrelevant, I

Never know what night I'll slip back in to the

Wait a minute, Kas, if you tell of it, die

But I'm selling it, right? Half y'all don't even know

What the hell I'm talking about

Buy a flashy car, start walking it out

Then we'll see how much I'll be rocking a crowd

Put some diamonds on my wrist, start rhyming all like this

Imma get my money while I'm wilding on a bitch

It seems that it works if you're looking to be heard

But I'm looking to eat, not looking to be served

[Chorus]

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

[Bridge]

“Ziggy, face me you coward, I'm not afraid of you”

(Oh…)

“You took everything from me, you did this to me”

(Oh no, you did this to yourself) “Bullshit”

(I was more important to you than anyone you loved)

“I know what I have to do now”

(What, kill me?)

“No…” (No!)

[Chorus]

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

[Outro]

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

Got your mind spinning like some carousels

This is how it all starts when a parent fails

You'll be here soon so prepare yourselves

Cause sooner or later we'll be sharing cells

Got your mind spinning like some carousels

This is how it all starts when a parent fails
