Bound for battle

‘Foul is fair and fair is foul’/ like an owl/
creeping through the night/ wearing cowl/
I’ll be by your side, trust/ when it goes down/
for you I will ride and bust/ we share a crown/
even if you ain’t right/ both feet on the ground/
fight for your right/ don’t just write for the fight/
it doesn’t matter if you black, brown or white/
we all go through the same when shit is tight/

'fear is stronger than love'/
raise your spear/ if push comes to shove/
shed no tear/ ride with hawks, fuck the dove/
all of you who doubted it/ fuck it, be proud of it/
the king's crown will split/ the crowd is sick/
they replaced the truth with a trick/
you can smell the slick/

rule one to reign/ sacrifice before you gain/
through times of pleasure and pain/
we struggle through sun and rain/
imagine, your son got caught with caine/
price of the game/ chasin' fortune and fame/
but when you fail who do you blame/
people will kill for a name/ I done the same/
killed dozens of good men, and felt no shame/
not literally but lyrically/spit it viciously/
now you don't have to take it all so seriously/
