Incarcerated

By Musa (KingofBabylon)

[Verse 1: Musa]

On the track like locomotives

With loco motives of leaving the local and getting noticed

Whoa this – brown kid spitting venom potent as a king cobra

Like a king cobra my metaphors’ll wrap around your head

Lyrics leave you wrapped up in some plastic – Dexter

Double D extra while I’m up in the lab

Cause I’m a pro and I fessed’ up

Hope to God he bless us, forever and, the truth lies in reverend

Messed up how the truth lies and your two eyes can never see

So I sever sea’s like I never see life’s a bitch I’ll letter her be

Steadily killing competition with my composition like its death note

Blaze an L like a fucking Blaziken – this is for my Esso’s

Calling for a SO-S cause the rest sold their souls; I’m a rebel

I can’t be controlled with the substances I am a devil


[Hook: Musa]

Incarcerated stuck inside your prison

Frank Morris leaving these bars - I’m on a mission

My vision is reaching these stars – and exiting the matrix

Bout to go far - While I’m cruising on my spaceship


[Verse 2: Musa]

Incarcerated – It’s hard make it -

Involved in altercations with a drum and snare that is alternating

No longer here, I’m super sayan with some longer hair

Puffing on that og kush with that orange hair (here)

Lifted and my vision blurry – but my third eye sharp like an eagle

Blazing sour diesel hurry – the drones above are watching

And their plotting to put us up in coffins cause we coffin

On that hydroponic freeing are minds we are enlightened

The reign won’t stop man

Even when it’s brightened outside

Even when your frightened don’t hide

Yes I am defiant I fly - over mount Zion but I’m

THE KING OF BABYLON

Yeah I saddle on a unicorn - flying through a vortex

Exit out the cortex I’m corp vet with this shit

Empty the clip kill women and kids


[Hook x2: Musa]

Incarcerated stuck inside your prison

Frank Morris leaving these bars - I’m on a mission

My vision is reaching these stars – and exiting the matrix

Bout to go far - While I’m cruising on my spaceship

Using the same name “Dexter” by referencing a show called “Dexter’s Laboratory”. Double D or (DD or Dee Dee) was Dexters sister on the show – word play on Double D (.)(.). Also comparing dexters lab to my lab (my studio) where I cook magic shit.

Still referring to the Tv Show “Death Note” L was one of the main characters who was killed. L is also another name for a joint, and blaziken was a fire Pokemon who was very effective against leaf Pokemon another metaphor. Triple entendre

Reference to an animated TV show entitled “Death Note” in which the user of the book wrote the names of who he wanted to kill inside and they automatically died. Comparing my rap notebook to that in how its so dope and powerful lyrics.

Trying get some recognition cause my passion is rapping, and many people might think that I’m crazy for not pursuing a real job and I’m going for my passion.

A saying many people tell each other when they try to find the meaning of life, I disagree and use the statement to show why. The truth can’t “lie” because it is the truth, it lies in nothing.
