Lyrics for Diary of a Madman
They killed my baby, oh God, they killed my baby Order in the court, order in the court I will make you pay for this you murderers I said order in the court now! Now, before this court passes judgement Will the four defendants please rise and approach the bench Trust me guys, it's all under control The judge is my uncle, he'll take the insanity plea Oh yeah, don't forget my retainer balance Okay, I understand you guys are pleading insanity, claiming Demonic spirits possessed you to do these hideous murders (Yeah, word) Can you please explain to this court how these so-called spirits made you into these raving madmen Bear witness as I exercise my exorcism The evil that lurks within the sin, the terrorism Possessed by evil spirits, voices from the dead I come forth with Gravediggaz and a head full of dread I've been examined ever since I was semen They took a sonogram and seen the image of a demon At birth, nurses surrounded me with needles And drugged me all up with the diseases of evil Grew up in Hell, now I dwell in an Islamic temple I’m fightin' a holy war in the mental Look deep in my eyes, you'll see visions of death Possessed, by homicide is what I am obsessed Givin' niggas brain dimples Draggin' their asses on my hook by their temples The cause of death is unknown to the cops 'Cause when I kill 'em, I’m not leavin' one element to autopse First I'll assassinate him and then I'll cremate him Then take all of his fuckin' ashes and evaporate him Or creep through the graveyard and hunt down your tombstone Dig up your skeleton and stomp all your fuckin' bones You try to haunt me, nigga? I ain't tryna hear it Buck! Buck! Buck! I'll give your ass a holy spirit Stressful, try to avoid all my impure thoughts I am losing my mind and it seems I don’t know what’s true or dream Can you please explain to the court when these problems first began? The year '84, November, day 10 Overwhelmed by the wicked inspirations of an evil djinn I realize my ideas have spawned For 400 years of blood, sweat and tears I saw the torture, brutal murder of my father So my brain became stained with the horror I'm havin' reoccurring nightmares Of bein' soakin' wet, strapped down to the electric chair I got tackled with handcuffs and shackled and restrainted In the bottom of a holy tabernacle They gave me nothin' to eat for two weeks And sewed my eye lids open so I couldn't sleep About to die from thirst, that's when the minister Quenched my jaws with a cold glass of vinegar Upon my wounds, they seasoned me with salt And nailed my hands and feet to the form of a cross Ahh! I cried As the blood dripped inside of my eye, refusing to die Visions of Hell tormented my fate So I chewed my fuckin' arm off and made an escape Your arm?! No way, no way, goddammit! Fuck this shit, goddammit! I don't believe this shit! Oh no way fucking way! Goddamn fuck these son of a bitches! (Oh no, me mataron mi amigo, hijo de la gran puta Esos Gravediggaz me mataron mi amigo, ¿qué voy a hacer? Carajo, coño) Calm down, people, please calm down Let us please proceed with the defendant's explanation Enter the realms of understanding And take good heed or you could bleed while I’m scannin' Three stages of pure Hell, sixteen pages of red cells *Shh* Rain drops hits the pails Path is dull and narrow, you're stalked by a shadow I'll pierce your skull with the fucking arrow So narrow, only one could enter at a time Stuck in the center, read the signs A thousand doors to choose, you better hurry Don’t stop, shit is getting hot as a pot of curry On your right side there’s fire, your left, deep waters Watch your step, it's steep waters What's that comin' through the floor? It's a claw *pssh* Took his fuckin' ass to the fuckin' core Ahhhh! Stroll through the dark conditions I stone ya 'til I see sparks of frictions I chop you like a coal miner Then combine the drug and mix it with your blood Some more, I give you some more and watch you crawl Guts hit the floor, worms exit your pores I trick ya, ha, then I'm quick to syringe Deep between my thoughts then bust out your skin You scream, portraits of inflictable pain, you can't stand You're up to your hands in quicksand You're sinking and sinking deep into the earth Thoughts was possessed since the first day of birth My mental says it's my turn to possess the matter Stab you with a dagger of Jacob's Ladder Thoughts become shattered, confused and tragic Fiery thoughts of Gravediggaz m— *Needle being dragged across record as the music stops and a gavel slams* *Jury gasps* Guilty *Gavel slams* Next case
