Splinter Cell - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I’m that type of cat who knows exactly how to tip the scale

And use that lack of light to his advantage like a splinter cell

Shut your fucking mouth and empty every gadget in your belt

Before you get yourself and your entire coalition killed

I’m that type of cat who knows exactly how to tip the scale

And use that lack of light to his advantage like a splinter cell

Shut your fucking mouth and empty every gadget in your belt

Before you get yourself and your entire coalition killed

[Verse 1]

Okay

I stopped, parked

Took a look around and turned the car off

In the dark lot of an abandoned auto parts shop

Started to walk toward the designated drop spot

Where my equipment was waiting for me in a large box

Unlocked the compartment and swore as I heard a dog bark

Both eyes darting back and forth

Watching for cops

As I put my goggles on, ready to launch

We’re in business

Started to walk toward the compound off in the distance

[Chorus]

I’m that type of cat who knows exactly how to tip the scale

And use that lack of light to his advantage like a splinter cell

Shut your fucking mouth and empty every gadget in your belt

Before you get yourself and your entire coalition killed

I’m that type of cat who knows exactly how to tip the scale

And use that lack of light to his advantage like a splinter cell

Shut your fucking mouth and empty every gadget in your belt

Before you get yourself and your entire coalition killed

[Verse 2]

So let me give my condolences to the daily departed

And say I’m sorry

Noncombatants I’ve mistaken as targets

Spot a guard and put my pistol to his temple

And (gunshot)

...shattered it like a glass crystal

It’s that simple

I’m that vengeful

Don’t resist, it’ll get you buried

Just another name in the Dallas obituaries

Interrogate four friendlies and leave poor Benjie

On the floor trembling with no sign of a forced entry

Why should I give a shit what the cops are gonna find

I’ve never left so much as a hair follicle behind

I’m insidious

My city is filled with such violent idiots

It’s time to show them just how fragile the body really is

(Catch commercial flights aboard that fuselage and fucking wait

Suffocate the others just to see how much their lungs can take)

Bleeding steadily

Screaming frantically, manically

Dismantling your entire battery singlehandedly

‘cause…

[Chorus]

I’m that type of cat who knows exactly how to tip the scale

And use that lack of light to his advantage like a splinter cell

Shut your fucking mouth and empty every gadget in your belt

Before you get yourself and your entire coalition killed

I’m that type of cat who knows exactly how to tip the scale

And use that lack of light to his advantage like a splinter cell

Shut your fucking mouth and empty every gadget in your belt

Before you get yourself and your entire coalition killed

[Bridge]

Splinter cell

[Verse 3]

Oh you see me alright

Either on your TV at night

Or in person when I rock your world just like a meteorite

I’m everything you’ve ever seen on the six o’clock news

From the husband who killed his wife to the kid in the Scream costume

The red switch that detonated the bomb

The bully that made Eric Harris feel so hated upon

I take them on

Every dark, twisted persona plays a part

When I get up on this mic and create a song

I’m that type of cat who knows exactly how to tip the scale

And use that lack of light to his advantage like a splinter cell

Shoot the light bulb in your kitchen out

Now it’s just a game of cat and mouse

I’m that type of cat who knows exactly how to tip the scale

And use that lack of light to his advantage like a splinter cell

I don’t walk around with a pistol out

But I know how to use a pencil well
