Slade — Dead Man Running Overkilling

[Hook x2: Slade] (Knock knock) Catch me walking out of a black box (Knock knock) You can call me the death mascot (Knock knock) Now who's the next man coming? I'm the Dead Man Running (running, running) [Verse 1: Slade] Call me the black Peter Pan, taking you to neverland And you can see how niggas breathe without lungs And you can see how niggas bleed without blood shed The sun red and the clouds too The sky blue and the moon the green When the night falls, I'm goblin A Bruce Lee being You can't call me Japan Zombie 'Undead' is what these folks call it Compared to what these folks wanted And they wanted a dead man - Buried and flesh, rotten - A stench problem Now you're having a fence problem - Defense problems Just when you put the camera on and I'm gone? Then I'm in The lights used to flicker now they're totally off Gropingly soft tried creeping with baseball bat But my face is all black Now your lungs need oxygen - I'll probably just: Study your moves, putty your shoes Now your tip-toe's difficult You can't see me at all Your black wall made me blend in and blend on The phone's on and it's ringing 'cause it's giving my coffin a damn back-call I made your skull get slacked jaw I made you numb Succumb to the pain I inflicted with massive hacksaws I made a soul home run And I sold yours done You can join me on the next door Knock knock, nigga [Hook x2: Slade] (Knock knock) Catch me walking out of a black box (Knock knock) You can call me the death mascot (Knock knock) Now who's the next man coming? I'm the Dead Man Running (running, running) [Verse 2: Term] They tryna kill what's already dead - It's similar to drowning a shark They're still spooked by the sounds in the dark Sounds are closing in - a jog through the graveyard after midnight Relations with hell - to hit 'em up, I dial at 6 thrice The corpse resides in the casket The soul lurking the earth - no attachment With salt, it should be burned to ashes with matches Until then, my soul is bulletproof to fatal shots - Walking through walls - from me, there ain't no safer spot Flatline you in the shower Or just drown you in the bathtub Get your neck cut: The cops arrive, the scene is messed up Lawnmower blade spins while you unplugged it to fix it Hearing noises coming from the other room like: 'who is it?' I'm the Poltergeist It's not a dream, you can close your eyes I'll make you look crazy - even got you afraid to socialize Confess your sins I toy with your mind - it's all deception Behind you in the mirror's reflection You turn around: I ain't there I reside in your head Got your fears in a choke-hold, I make you wish you was dead - Instead, this is torture I turn up the heat, I won't dumb it down You never saw this coming: I trip your luck while its running out Keep a crucifix witchu and pray to the lord I play with your thoughts Ain't nobody gon' save you at all A dead man doing 'bout 120 miles an hour: From purgatory in possession of powers Knock knock, ninja [Hook x2: Slade] (Knock knock) Catch me walking out of a black box (Knock knock) You can call me the death mascot (Knock knock) Now who's the next man coming? I'm the Dead Man Running (running, running) [Verse 3: E.T] I am fear personified What you find in the dark of the mind Where the sun don't shine Where the clouds are grey Niggas don't pray, they fall prey To the dark in the light At the end of the tunnel is the blight We recite - The code of the dead: where there is life is death No breath, only screams Black light We beam in the night No light We recite: 'no light' We recite (we recite) Only screams in the night And the cries of a child in the dark born of light But engulfed by the absence of life Born to fight, what is right It's obscene What is seen On the scene That a black star beam in the night We recite: 'no light' Only death, no life Inhale - that's the breath No life It's a marathon. who run it? No life king, as the fat lady sing The beginning of the end At the end The beginning of the end And forever that's the end Will it end? In the end, you find life In the end, death knows life Life knows death Less knows breath Everybody takes a step - towards the dark Everybody takes a breath - towards the light It's funny how you're breathing life - towards your death Life is a marathon - we're all zombies [Verse 4: Slade] This is the underworld: hadean spirits with dark sarcophagi Lyrically dangerous: dust to dusty, niggas - a coffin, guy A coffin (coughing) man: a lack of oxygen Oxymoronic breathing diaphragm - Spastic in the presence of a dying man Knock (Who's there?) Zombie man is back to carry And bury-incinerate you to turn you to black ashes Knock knock Now who's the next man coming Been the Dead Man Running Kick the damn door down, stupid {Overkilling Intro - Slade] Hold up, hold up Overkill, overkill, overkill! I'm about to do this 'overkill' nigga Overkill: [Verse 5 - Overkilling: Slade] This dumb nigga told me 'round' 'cause the front door locked Came with Jaws Drop - victim from the last door's house I'mma flash his face as soon as he open the back door A black silhouette in the distance - I'm teleporting now In case this nigga got a pretty wife And in this case I'll get a pretty knife - Cut her so swiftly to leave a pretty sight Couple scars on my face - Nothing major to start crying 'assault' for the case 'cause I'm solving this case Grabbed a mop and a bucket and I called Jaws Drop Yes I heard, man. This nigga got Kentucky floors mopped So I'm shocked when he told me he 'can't work for me' That he 'can't kill for me' And wants his 'soul back' On the road back I gave him his soul and a large stack He turned back Right into a warm gun barrel and I took his soul back Just like that, I roll dolo A Valleyman with a masterplan - what a beautiful hand This time I put him in sand: Can't inhale grains Can't exhale pain An insane partnership gone at the hand of a slaughtermouth A morbid form that you can order to take a sorta nigga out I'm on that nigga's couch - Changing the television channel, what shall I order out? Or maybe call the next house to hear if somebody's home And then it's time for me to get in the zone And knock knock
