How did I become the best to do it and y'all ain't even seen me yet?// It's simple as the scripture "Jesus wept."// I keep in step with the echelon// but heads are coming off this time, it's messier than wreckless op wrecks gone wrong// The rest of y'all too goodie, and I don't mean like Goodie Mob// Of course God is good, without Christ who could He crossed?// It's like you don't think I know that, or never got the hood involved// But hold on, I won't flex like I'm Mr. Perfect, that'd be a stretch like Mr. Fantastic// Fact is, Cas has more sin in him than scratches from Mista Sinista, but this ain't the place for that// That was "Providence Road" and this is "Old Fashioned"// The next known chapter in my solo tablet// "Guest Room" was just to attract ya// put some peeps on and prove I can rap with anyone out there// But hold on, don't mistake me for cocky// 'Cause if we box you'll probably mistake me for Rocky// I don't drop easy, you might not want to match Hogle// Been known to make M.C.'s change names like patch overs// Homie that's flowing, that's flowing// I say it twice for you cats still moving in slow motion like a dial-up modem// I'm open// In my zone like Kobe, can't nobody control me// So hold on, wait your turn// Actually half of y'all really ought to just raise your chir’ren (children)// Go get a turtle sandbox and play in the dirt// Stay out the booth if you ain't making it burn// I'm aiming to earn, ain't searching for coat tails to ride on// I got my own leeches, squares, call them Scions// I've tried to let bygones be "bye" gones// But it's like they keep missing I (eye) like a Cyclops// So they hold on, hoping for a slot in the spot light// They better off voting for a Rott in a dog fight// Might actually hit that lick// Instead of sitting around here waiting, wishing Killa Cas gets rich// 'Cause this isn't the scene if you're in it for the green// Go get the triple beam and take your chances in the streets with the branches and the leaves// Remember one thing, don't get in monkey business if your hands ain't built to swing// Hold on.

Verse 1
Once upon a time was a beast named Cas, he lived in the basement of a king named Crab// Crab had the whole village feeling real bad 'cause all he ever fed the villagers was trash// Kept Cas locked up, thought he was a monster// Only if King knew what Cas could accomplish// But he was pompous// Long as his options to prosper promised, bet not a problem// Crab had claws, guards to watch him// So if a mob charge, not hard to stop them// All he got to do is recall the draw bridge// Nobodies going to swim to get across the water// Not been such awkward talk of aqua since Loch Ness// Nothing floats in this moat, it all sinks// but the peasants are fed up with the leverage in the kings possession so they start plotting methods// start cocking weapons prepping for a war// building tall catapults to cast them over walls// Won't be long now before the beast roars// and the force of the beast is felt forever more//
Verse 2
Now the people getting angry, sick of going hungry// The starving started coming over the walls in dozens// Pretty soon hundreds are running the circumference// covering the yard until the guards are out numbered// Then suddenly comes a thunderous eruption// from underground, sounded something like a musket mixed with something from a drum kit// It was the one they called Cas coming up from the dungeon// But what would happen next had all in wonder// The beast had trapped King Crab in a bucket// He wasn't wanting blood shed// He just wanted a little love and to see how the sun felt// but some felt he was the number one threat// Come hell or high water, he was who they want dead// Now backed in a corner, driven to eat// Cas cracks a roar and begins his killing spree// Willing the one time silent beast// went on a feeding frenzy, a very violent feast// Wasn't long after that the beast roared// and the force of the beast was felt forever more//

Verse 1 (Cas Metah)
In the water I was found, thank God I didn’t drown// ‘cause lately I been covering ground// The mans mission failed when I quit making sound// Now I’m making rounds off radar, bouncing town to town// Bound by the mystery of my identity// Until their instincts kick in, then it’s supremacy// Even when I’m lost I’m steps ahead of the enemy// You may injure but you’re never apprehending me// Send your assets, I’ll be sending them to sleep// Witness this brilliant militant killing spree// If you’re willing to follow I’m willing to lead// but we got to go pronto, leave skids in the streets// Built with the speed and strength of a Clydesdale// Black Op’s like bad cops, we don’t fight fair// I’m Treadstones best known and Black Briars nightmare// A nomad ninja on some “Right there! Right where?”//
Verse 2 (June Marx)
Infiltrate and harm// The sound of my name raise alarm// Delta One left classified pages torn// Trained and armed// I was taken form in the waves of the storm// Jason Bourne// Hatred spawned it’s betrayal from my rivals end//Mind extends inside of sniper rifles lense// Bio chems agents// skull and bones, hate them// Organizations faced with an ultimatum// Full invasion// Skip town surpass death// six rounds, a flak vest// Swiss account access// I don’t cash checks, I form a contract// Emperor-less, where terrorist bombs strapped explode upon contact// Comrade fall back// spar foreign format at close quarter combat// The Marx man will dodge traps// hurt factions// Murderous actions, highly trained covert assassins//
Verse 3 (Kevlaar 7)
‘Til I lay in my grave I’ll spit fire in the wind// Allah is to blame// Kevlaar persuade the king// I felt my pain inside the embryo// Walk the streets of gold, my time is rain// Menace dry up until my clip is finished// Dip and blend in on a beach in Venice// I’m the rap Jason Bourne, I torch a mission// Snatch my lessons I’m out the door in one minute// I walk with Shawn Bell, all my sentences killers// Display the blueprints, vanish and stay vintage// Erase my fingerprints, the only phantom witness// Same difference, aptitude benching, y’all we live it// In my frame blurry pictures, skull and bone crosses, and grave prescriptions// This can’t be life// aficionado extremist// trail me home with spiteful incentives// Focus the scopes, spot the noose ropes// I can see// You know what I mean//Yo, it’s three-sixty degrees//

Mary, Candy and Crystal
03:20

First he met Mary, and Mary was delightful// Everything she showed him was insightful//Anything he did with her seemed to be exciting// right down to choir recital and even reading the Bible// See, Mary was a good girl looking for a great man// someone she could grow with, someone who was faithful// And for eight years he stayed so// then one day he met this lady Candy by the pay phone// And dang man, Candy was an angel// we’re talking Snow White fine with a halo, no lie// If Mary was a seven, Candy was a nine// He knew he had to get with her, he knew he had to try// With no denial he knew it’d be a fight world// He knew Mary’d leave him if she seen him with this white girl// So in an attempt to hide his dirt face// he’d only meet Candy at the telly by his work place// And that worked great for the first dates// but then the more he’d see her, the more he’d turn brave// Now he’s having her over when Mary isn’t home// He spends all his time with her, spending all his dough// See Candy’s a gold digger, she likes to party hard// like every night is Marti Gras, she got him lost// Blinded by her beauty and ruthless seduction// he’s barely seeing Mary now, he’s barely seeing double// ‘Cause Candy introduced him to this chick named Crystal// If Candy was a B.B. gun, Crystal was a pistol// Listen, this is where the tale gets frigid// ‘cause Crystal was cold as ice, her methods were menacing// Manipulative as unseen puppet strings// She was tough to beat buddy believe// Got her keys from Candy so she come when she please// It must be her custom to be the one to run things// She like the queen of the bumble bees// ‘Cause Crystal hovers sweets and loves to sting// Now the three of them living together is getting scary// Reminiscing he misses when it was just him and Mary// He wants to leave, wants to forget them// He wants to be free but the lust won’t let him// He wants to leave, wants to forget them// He wants to be free but the lust won’t let him go// It won’t let him go// And now he’s just stuck there, miserable// day in and day out the same old thing, just dealing with Crystal// It was Crystal// If you been used and abused it was Crystal// Misused and abused it was Crystal// Now you thin as a pencil// Missing an income messing with that Crystal//

Verse 1
She got me on some LL Cool J// Got me singing “Hey Lover”, I just love the way she do things// When she in the room the mood change// You could say we tied like shoe strings// Electric as the Boogaloo we Breakin’ 2//Krush Grooves, it just proves// You don’t have to be together long to get along and get a bond strong if she a lady// I think maybe she the one for me// ‘Cause lately she been such great company// Got me like “baby, what you need?”// She making me a better man, trust and see// Used to say back in the day when we first met “I’ma take her away”// Now she mine and I’m not surprised// God always got a way with granting our desires//
Verse 2
She the sun to my morn, she the moon to my night// Brighter than any star, she my soothing light// She the type to make me put on my suit and tie// Not a head but I got her nodding to “Coolie High”// Sophisticated, not a foolish child// Since we been dating I stopped fooling around// Pulled my head out of my can, became a man// Thank God for His plan and thank God for my lady// We got a good thing going// We learning and growing as a couple how to work through our emotions// I know so ‘cause she love me even when I’m bi-polar and I still love her when she frozen// Hopefully she know I don’t want to be like most men// She can lean on my shoulder// She can be the queen of my homestead// And we can focus on living our dreams like we supposed to//

Verse 1
They triple six at the noon hour// I started looking at the pieces when they blew the two towers// A crew of cowards devised to rise and rule powers that be shouting at me through truth shattered// The shrapnel was pure magic// Prodigy pocket stackers aggitated the havoc// Central bank cartels carted the cash in// Snatched all the gold to control all the rashions// The strategies assets were interest// How do you pay back a debt when it's endless?// Unless you successfully undress the seductress to distract the public masses// Ask an American if his governments fascist// He'll pump the flash and shout "that's a bunch of molasses"// Fully unaware what his Patriot Act is// and his Federal Reserve only serving his puppet masters//
Verse 2
There isn't any written law require you to file taxes// Yet a quarter of your annual earnings going to these assholes// How can we pass go? They own the monopoly// Sold souls to greed so they copycat Nazi schemes// Shaking populations like dogs itch fleas// Even patented a disease such as HIV// Vietnam and every other war been for cheese// dirty rats don't really care if you live or bleed// If you think the President is really pulling strings// you've been disceived by these wolves in a world full of sheep// Slaves to the legal tender, the worthless paper// Government's a big business just serving bankers// Make sure you educate yourself and save your wealth in your own safe, safe from devils// Rockefeller made two million from World War One// better stay up 'cause next they coming for your guns//

Verse 1 (Cas Metah)
Hey yo, my homie called the other day// He said “What up bruh? We got to find another way// Folks dying out here from all the drug decay”// Fam I feel what you saying we done dug enough graves// ”This gutter’s a maze, where good people plummet in faith// ‘Cause no matter where they run, they never escape”// I’m wondering if it’s because they never equate// the weight of their own worth with the worth of the weight// “I think boredom’s the gate toward exploring foreign exchanges with dangerous portions of pain// I wish that it was all simple but it ain’t”// I wish that I could understand man but I can’t// Nobody even sleeps, the whole worlds awake// Some are up on speed, some are up to pray// “So are some going to heal? Are some going to tame?”// As soon as summer’s here I could say// It’s a cold climate we reside in// Why you think the needle users pulling sleeves over they veins?// Is it shame that they hiding?// Or just too broke for a coat and they rather shiver than change?//
Hook (Ruffian)
Yo why my man struggling for free, instead of trying a little harder? Sold his life for cheap, you understand// Why his daughter choked and couldn’t breathe? She inhaled the scent of hell and she couldn’t sleep, you understand// Why the pastor forgot how to preach? And his wife toss and turn awake in the sheets? Can’t duck his hands// So she bruised from her heart and cheek// Can’t understand, won’t you stand in this place for me and understand//
Verse 2 (Cas Metah)
I met this lady from around the way// I run into her every time I’m running to the bank// She always sitting on the same cracked sidewalk begging for change// I told her change ain’t going to come ‘til she settles her pain// She said “You don’t know me and you don’t owe me a thing// What makes you my judge? You ain’t been in my place”// I said I’ve seen enough ghosts to recognize the face of those being chased by the killer that awaits// by the gates of your soul// ready to take control of your physical and make it cold seis below// I can tell you make no goals// haven’t slept one wink for one week or even ate for a day or so// She felt the truth as I spoke, but didn’t hate it though// Unfazed, one gaze made it plain// She’s in a haze, content with her shade// She don’t see the sun, so she don’t feel the rays// Addicted to the high life of fixing the crave// Living a slave without the whips and the chains// So it took me by surprise when she looked me in my eyes and said “Honey you’re right but can you please spare some change?”//

Verse 3 (Blueprint)
Uh huh, Too many questions and not enough answers make a brother want to throw his hands up// And maybe throw in a towel// I’m dawning a scowl thinking it’s wild how diseases like cancer still killing// If everybody and they mama rocking pink ribbons// And the company that makes them receives millions// Why we never see results on anything we’ve given?// I bet their exec’s are somewhere on a beach chilling// We all notice it but nobody speaks about it// ‘Cause we think showing solidarity means being silent// Instead we’re mislead// Obedient sheep that never keep the hair on they heads// Being force fed opinions and views from television// Maybe that’s why they call it the tube// Few choices in what we consume// But just because we eat it up, doesn’t mean that it’s food// You want change? Then start thinking long range// Tomorrows happiness is built on what you do today// Get committed to improving your days and be prepared for them to look at you strange when you change//

On the snare like a predator, Metah come medical// Don’t be jealous that I’m on a pedestal I’m registered a veteran// Reping Midwest like I’m selling it// Elegant etiquette and you can bet it never quit// Check the net, I’m a virus going viral// Kids in Cairo tag S.I. in Hiero// Some of y’all high though, I see your eyes closed// You sleeping on Ohio hydro rhyme flow// I’m fire// type to climb inside your mind and remind you of a time when hip hop was liver// The type of rhymer you like to rewind// ‘Cause Killa got lines like killers got knives// Nicer than Dexter but swear if you test me// I’ll check your left cheek, send you headed into next week// Not a threat, sincere promise// This here’s my belt, I been here longest//

Verse 1 (Donte)
I quit looking back to look forward toward a future// My friends ain’t got to be the enemy to shoot ya// My nuckas ain’t got to push packs to get racks// From hopeless to focused we making hit tracks// Used to rob women now they dress them up in linen// Swimming in exotic waters none of y’all been in// Carnally sinning from beginning to the ending// Forgive me Lord I’m down on one knee bending// The other one stuck in the game and keep spending// When my time come hope you in the mood for mending// ‘Cause my pain feel so real while they pretending// The world getting smaller, my family extended// Fatherless, childless, look like my only image is antique and vintage// My whole soul blemished// Looking back// looking forward to what I’m looking at// I write my life like a chapter in the Book of Rap//
Hook (Mellow Drum Addict)
Looking back, looking back, looking back now I can see// It wasn’t how it’s supposed to be// it wasn’t how it’s supposed to be// Looking back, looking back, looking back now I can see// It wasn’t how it’s supposed to be// Just look closely//
Verse 2 (Cas Metah)
My life is like a slide show// Moving forward I can see where ever I go// from where I been//Hind sight gives an eye full// I’d be a fool not to remove the blind fold but the pipes are ice cold// Need the pilot light ignited in my soul// So I can try to fight the rival in my dome// I know I should know all of them sly holds//Still I get convicted and end up in trials// Denials my best friend// Told him I don’t want to kick it no more, he just don’t ever get the message// Been to the school of hard knocks but didn’t ever get the lessons// It’s like I only went on test days// Damn man, I should’ve wrote them essays// I could’ve would’ve if I wasn’t always stressing// going under with my evanescence// second guessing the Heavens//

Verse 3 (Thee Tom Hardy)
Look close, I’m glancing back at the past// with the perfect hind sight vision through the looking glass// Sleeping during classing thinking this is not for me// and this is not the path so I veered off it// Barely made it with my peers walking// across stage at the graduation// Wasn’t trying to go to school I was salivating// over the prospect of performing on different stages// I was so outrageous, and not the least bit patient// A go getter when I started// Started from the bottom of the totem then I climbed up microphone controlling// Took it to a level// and what I did next I won’t do again ever// Got content and settled// playing it too safe, not giving a hundred// And now the people that I did reach are all wondering “what happened?”// Not aggressive too passive I’ll restore order// No looking back I’m looking forward//

Enter raps Wolf Blitzer// the wolf who spits over a litzer// Legit, the first rapper to get the Pulitzer// Their bars are torches, horses and morse code// My bars are Porche's and courses in source code// To enter my rap realm// It's like tapping the sap trapped inside of the hem of a black elm// Yeah, and while most can't see the light// I read and write at the speed of light// Though some say I paint a black picture// like Hitler with a black chick at a bar mitzva// And this is Jack the Ripper// I'm Jack Tripper smoking crack with a black stripper then he back flip her// What I do is unfair, like Pun was here with huns, waving guns in the air// I charge the skies of Zion// I'm a lion recharged like light ion in ions//

Rewind Era be that era that I come from// Flow heavy weight with tipping scales it weigh like one ton// Earthlings tried to shine on me, not blinding me with one sun// One gun, one pun// make her 'til the drums run// Since I was just a youngin' wilding out on motor speed bikes// See like he's nice, higher than a bee's flight// Wired to the matrix that y'all making this a G's life// We fight every day they made just out to be trife// I want to rule the world so I'm moving like a king do// married to the game between these words like in a ring too// King who? All I want to do is write these words down// Never will I stress, I feel like Brady when it's third down// The word is the wordsmith be kicking like a goal now// Plus I got that spirit you can hear it in my soul now// Plus narley off that Marley like my dudes that live in So Cal// I try to live in peace, I don't want beef I want the whole cow//
Verse 3 (Cas Metah)
Every tape of mine aim to shape a sick design// take a move at mine I'm a make it with your spine// Engrave eight in your back// Aikmen in his prime// If eight men in a line then it's eight men that I'm frying// Be afraid, be very afraid, why?// I'm on my Jeff Goldblum, making heads fly// Never paid to be played on no station// If SI on FM the DJ's a straight fan// No question about who the best is// I've been blessed since my conception// My style's original, your styles are pigeon hold// when I let the trigger blow you open like a centerfold// Nobody eats me, like when dinner's cold// My flow frozen like Minnesota winter snow// Triple dog dare you Flick lick the pole// but it's a kiss of death, Medusa's mistletoe, I'm the ultimate//

Hey, a lot of you cats are gassed up// Just ‘cause you made a fast buck that don’t mean that you can rap bruh// It means you made the right plans, met the right man// Hats off to your hustle, off with your mic stand// You’re not a rhyme head// You’re a tyrant who needs to retire from flowing, stick to dry land// There’s no growth to your life span// You just Photoshop butterfly effects and design spam// Then spread it on the internet// building illiterate innocent children with little to no intellect// But son it’s bedtime, night night, give it a rest// let Metah and Bombay deliver the set// Syllables, check.

Too many not chasing their dreams// They making a means to an end, but if it never ends what does it mean?// What is the meaning of life?// Mine’s to entertain, you can see it in my eyes// Never been ashamed to be me without disguise// 360’s since ’95 this been my grind// Ain’t taken a day off since I caught on to writing rhyme// Twenty years straight case you can’t tell time// If you ask my team I’m one of the greatest alive// but you only want sheep, you pass my team by// Field Specialists ain’t never been no yes men// and Scribbling Idiots the realest in the biz// yet still we digging like a drill bit// skills thick, just not thick as the chicks these record labels deal with// If Slaughterhouse and K.R.I.T. ain’t even getting platinum// How am I supposed to make a decent living rapping?//
Hook
Forget about it, forget about it// They tell me Metah you better forget about it// I tell them nah, bet you I’ma get around it// the world’s mine soon as I climb this mountain// Forget about it, forget about it// They tell me Metah you better forget about it// I tell them nah, bet you I’ma get around it// the world’s mine soon as I find this fountain//
Verse 2
They say that Hip-Hop is a kids sport// as if a thirty-something year old don’t deserve his spit heard// I think these lil’ boys just afraid to get hurt// by grown men with vocab ‘cause they don’t know no big words// Too concerned about they big wheels// Too young to know The Facts Of Life or remember Kim Fields// Too dumb to know a pig squeals// so they dry snitch on tracks to make it seem they make big deals// But when the shit’s real, they at the stash spot// in the floor boards hiding by the cash box// but back to Cas plot// I’ma find the fountain of youth and drink until the last drop// Then I’ma take it back to ’88, maybe ‘94// recreate the greats, make sure the writing’s pure// When boom-bap ruled this tiny world// When it was for the art form and not for all the shiny awards//
Hook
Forget about it, forget about it// They tell me Metah you better forget about it// I tell them nah, bet you I’ma get around it// the world’s mine soon as I climb this mountain// Forget about it, forget about it// They tell me Metah you better forget about it// I tell them nah, bet you I’ma get around it// the world’s mine soon as I find this fountain//

Verse 1 (MotionPlus)
Higher Definition I max in, so I’m Maximus Decimus Meridius gladiator// Cut the cross fader while I fly like aviators// So save the favors neighbors I’m Eric Davis in outfields// I’m out still ‘til the witching hour’s over// Drunken monk, sober, slapping a king cobra// Mic skills the coldest, words the magnum opus// Swag over substance is spontaneous combustion// So picture that on a Instamatic Kodak// My Erick Sermon tells the vermin Get the Bozack// Hedonistic but the grace is my statistic// Redemption in the script so the movie’s realistic//
Verse 2 (Lyriz)
I’m taking emcees like I’m Ra’s al Ghul// I’m a menace to society to your Moulin Rouge// I’m confused, do you really want to fuel these fumes// I’ll Chernobyl any rapper don’t confuse us two// I’m a different breed, look at me, don’t be fooled// by the smiles and the daps ‘cause I give those too// as well ass whippings, ass kissing Stan’s get schooled// by my vast vocabulary and the presence I exude// I’m an alien to those who say and don’t do who// say they got metals but ain’t built to build nations// I’m consisting of patience and I’ll wait you out// ‘til the day I catch you slipping, better watch your mouth//
Verse 3 (Mouf Warren)
‘Cause he might sneak up from behind and pop your ego with that nine// and leave you leaking on the floor then flee the scence of the crime// Tim Burton with the flow, depict the future before it’s time// Return to the scene, laugh at your wack ass for sneak dissing my shine// Peep it, listen, you ain’t a genius like I// have your people thinking wow, such as beautiful mind// ‘Cause every word’s like a scene for the grind// But this ain’t BET// I’m shooting from a photographic memory// We all rhyme I ask myself why a million times for sure// and I think it’s probably ‘cause she won’t let you skeet in hers// All hundred million of you jerkies acting like you dope// caught snitching on yourself, flip and hope you drop the soap//
Verse 4 (RationaL)
Flow just like Nemo, don’t slow for no people// Marshall in 8 Mile, you don’t know what I been through// On a dark night (knight) on the edge like Ledger popping pills// Legends never die, rest in power Robin Will// Insomniac searching for the artifacts, your art is wack// They say lyrically I’m like the Art of War plus the Art of Rap// All these cats swinging off my King Kong Kim Jong ding dong// Play a rapper like a game of ping-pong// Sounds of music without Julie Andrews is tragic// I’m super bad like I’m Jonah, for movie scripts I’m an addict// I stay dope, rappers play roles, I never act// Instead I sent this twelve to Cas, Rash Truly Cinematic//
Verse 5 (Wonder Brown)
So many looking for a return of the king and murder the scene// maybe y’all should be searching for Scream part thirty-three and a third version// The Naked Gun to your conspiracy theory third person// Replacing redrum for some purple drink// Tip your tin cup acting majestic// But choose poorly and watch faces melt after the exits// Some say bring the noise, I say kill the drama like any rapper trying to act, another passing for Mastodon// More like Comic-Con// like y’all ain’t camouflage// Watching y’all’s like swimming in a dead pool with a Cannon on// Yeah, get your banner on, might as well the way you were after the green// Yet you still wonder why the back draft is a stab to the spleen//
Verse 6 (ReFlex the Architect)
Put your Skype chat versus my IMAX imagery// Your Times New Roman to my spray can calligraphy// White flag before I'm tagged, or bad luck// There's no shield from my fury, nothing left for I to patch up// Scorched earth rhetoric, they all gasp// like I stepped into the room in a Day of the Dead skull mask// Weighed up the comp, mentally set the timer// then bodied the whole scene like this was The Equalizer// Your best plans get moth balled// 'cause no one's left to get behind them, that's a one man trust fall// So roll credits once these hurses filled then// I'm slow mo' walking out the burning building, yeah//
Verse 7 (Cas Metah)
If rapping was gymnastics, you simple cats are still doing spotted back flips on a padded mattress// If emceeing was acrobatics, you could see Cas trapeze like my hands were made of magnets// What I script, truly cinematic// So Scorsese, plus the score crazy// SoulSeize got the horns blazing// Your boy downloaded beats on SoundClick and just claiming that he made them// If Hip-Hop was taken by sex slave tradesmen// I am Liam Neeson here to kill all their agents// Spaz out take the back route// avoiding directors// choice of selections// I’m poised for perfection// they poison the essence// with usual suspects// bruisers and rough necks// Who want to come test?// You could get done next// soon as the sun sets// A jedi on the death star, I hunt flesh// Putting fathers in their coffins, often called a marksman// dropping bodies so long probably ought to start graveyard shift// They want me dead like Danny Green but don’t know how to make me bleed// maybe ‘cause I’m Dracula without the fangs for teeth//

Verse 1
Once upon a time was a beast named Cas, he lived in the basement of a king named Crab// Crab had the whole village feeling real bad 'cause all he ever fed the villagers was trash// Kept Cas locked up, thought he was a monster// Only if King knew what Cas could accomplish// But he was pompous// Long as his options to prosper promised, bet not a problem// Crab had claws, guards to watch him// So if a mob charge, not hard to stop them// All he got to do is recall the draw bridge// Nobodies going to swim to get across the water// Not been such awkward talk of aqua since Loch Ness// Nothing floats in this moat, it all sinks// but the peasants are fed up with the leverage in the kings possession so they start plotting methods// start cocking weapons prepping for a war// building tall catapults to cast them over walls// Won't be long now before the beast roars// and the force of the beast is felt forever more//
Verse 2
Now the people getting angry, sick of going hungry// The starving started coming over the walls in dozens// Pretty soon hundreds are running the circumference// covering the yard until the guards are out numbered// Then suddenly comes a thunderous eruption// from underground, sounded something like a musket mixed with something from a drum kit// It was the one they called Cas coming up from the dungeon// But what would happen next had all in wonder// The beast had trapped King Crab in a bucket// He wasn't wanting blood shed// He just wanted a little love and to see how the sun felt// but some felt he was the number one threat// Come hell or high water, he was who they want dead// Now backed in a corner, driven to eat// Cas cracks a roar and begins his killing spree// Willing the one time silent beast// went on a feeding frenzy, a very violent feast// Wasn't long after that the beast roared// and the force of the beast was felt forever more//
