Master Plan - Tunnel Rats

This to all my people in the city

Any city, anywhere

Somebody told me when you live in the city

You gotta do what the city does

Pretty thugs battles for power shootin' city slugs

Drugs in the vein, Abel at the hand of Cain

Brother to brother, nothing changed it remain the same

City’s like a missile that seek heat, sling beef

The street blowing at night, barely dream peace

Dreams cease soon as ruckus from all them suckas is buckin'

People ducking cause someone had to blast somethin'

Thrash something at three in the morning, crash somethin'

There’s commotion and sirens, crooked Pharisees firin'

Bullets disguised, angel of light day into night

Fire so bright making you lose your eyesight

So I’ll ignite a flame from your heart through your vein

To your brain information it contain will explode when it connects

Then your heart starts to spill, who to believe?

Man’s thoughts could kill, combined with a tongue

Leave a nation hung stung by the stinger

Spine chilling sung soulfully by the singer

When the lyrics linger you’re forced to look twice at the ice

Pickin' away at the clock that’s tickin' away

It’s the night that never sees dawn

Look back and wonder what went wrong

The song no longer moves me

Sirens no longer soothin'

Things that brought pleasure now bruise

And while I’m thinkin' of a master plan (I need a master plan)

All I’m seein' is disaster man (nothing but disaster)

All these problems coming faster and (faster and faster)

I’m wonderin' if I could ever laugh again

And while I’m thinkin' of a master plan (I need a master plan)

All I’m seein' is disaster man (nothing but disaster)

All these problems coming faster and (faster and faster)

I’m wonderin' if I could ever laugh again

See that’s what happen when the shorty from the bricks

Turns to a chick who turns tricks

Reputation flipped, can’t call her name or

She was a fly Puerto rock

Stayed about a quarter block from my domain

Intelligence high but played the no-brainer

All game, seen her before

Ignored this queen who was created by the Lord

Obviously unsure, unaware unpure

Running scared with a soul fractured, left uncured

Unprepared, young wonder woman visibly scared to my trained eye

My brain cried for this gem

Cause under there flames tried to light a fire

Quote: I feel trapped like a rat in an underwater cage

Vision’s been hazed, played by at a young age

Bullets sprayed down my man before he reached twelfth grade

Prayed he could stay, he told me you’ll be watching me go

Wait for the day that we could reach the streets of Puerto Rico

But now them days are gone

She’s singin' sorrowful songs

Feedin' the baby in the kitchen while talking to moms

The song no longer moves me

Sweet touch no longer soothin'

Things that brought pleasure now bruise

And while I’m thinkin' of a master plan (I need a master plan)

All I’m seein' is disaster man (nothing but disaster)

All these problems coming faster and (faster and faster)

I’m wonderin' if I could ever laugh again

And while I’m thinkin' of a master plan (I need a master plan)

All I’m seein' is disaster man (nothing but disaster)

All these problems coming faster and (faster and faster)

I’m wonderin' if I could ever laugh again

When I thought the laughter was gone

And the dawn turned to the sunset

I felt the Spirit whisperin' tellin' me «Not fret»

When I prayed for the peace, slave was released

The old man gone in the grave with the beast

Each and every street corner that I been through

If they survive lies, they know what to cling to

First God cause city leave a thousand scars

Then blood cause there ain’t love among thugs

Times are getting sicker, tension is getting thicker

Kids losin' their heads to mass amounts of malt liquor

Think quicker, Satan the soul gripper’s on the prowl

Schemin' like a night owl, fiendin' to do something foul

I’m protected by resurrection, poison won’t cause infection

Walk through the illest section leaving crews lost in perplexion

Shine like stars in the universe holding out the Word of Life

Bring revelation to hip-hop nation when I proclaim the love of Christ

As the world hesitates, my voice resonates in trucks

Jeeps streets to fill the ghetto, ladies drink Amaretto

Cry to sleep on their pillow while shadows of lovers lost leave silhouettes

But still the Spirit is so intricately intimate with my rising and setting

My cryin' and sweatin' through pictures of my past

I ain’t forgetting it, it no longer moves me

All things no longer soothing

Things that brought pleasure now bruise

No longer thinkin' of a master plan

Because I put it in the Master’s hands

And though the problems comin' faster, I’m hungerin' after

His Spirit brings the laughter again

No longer thinkin' of a master plan

Because I put it in the Master’s hands

And though the problems comin' faster, I’m hungerin' after

His Spirit brings the laughter again
