Lyrics:
A living nightmare, asleep but still aware
The endless torture
The painless pleasure
I grasp myself
Trying to regain control
I experience and learn
In another faction of my mind
So confused
But everything makes perfect sense
Can't feel the pain
Emotional pain's so much deadlier
Lost, you've just been raped
Pain.
You are now entering the Kingdom of Prince Royce
Who before was royalty, was just one lonely voice
That from the streets of the Bronx,
Rose to represent his Dominican roots
And is now a source of pride for his elders
And an inspiration to the youth
Son las cosas pequeñas que valen y ensenan
Y donde esta el corazón, es donde sera mi habitación
De mis mas lindas memorias la mas feliz eres tu
En un espejo hecha para mi
Con tu dulce pensar que me vas a querer
Con un amor incondicional
Sabiendo que la fe, your faith, keeps your dreams close to you
Become addicted to your art,
Your goals, your passion, your rhythm, your rhyme
And you too will experience the world in my time
Savor the sweet and the sour
La vida es dulce y amarga
Every experience, cada momento
Demuestra que nuestro tiempo es prestado
Seguir tus suenos es el regalo mas grande
Que tu mismo te puedes dar
Porque antes de querer te tienes que amar
You have to believe in yourself first,
Don't wait for other to praise you
Once you have achieved self love,
You're ready for phase two
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Now if you have a taste for this experience
If you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
You'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name
But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
Once that you've decided on a killing

Have you created a life for yourself
Where you can experience them?
I have i am fucking crazy
But I am free
Uh, let me get up in this bitch right now
Everything I got that's what I'm gonna give right now
Let a motherfucker live right now
Break it down like a mental state in an asylum
Talk about timing, fuck about rhyming
I don't give a damn about rhyming
I like the way that they jewelry be shining
Nope, that ain't the way to think about this rap shit
I'm a musician, I love the art
Shoulda never let you in from the start
It ain't one man or another, we one in the same
One of us wants all the money and fame
The other just loves the game
I've done some slippery things for change
But I made thirty million and my life changed
Finally found happiness when my wife changed
Used to make all my decisions
Based off the perception of others
Scared to do anything different, I couldn't get with it
Too worried 'bout others, fuck 'em
Yeah, I'ma do me, homie
See if you was me, you would do it differently
But you don't got my pov
Talking 'bout one in the same, only one of me to blame
Recording these raps in my green room
But I gotta go 'cause I hear the whole crowd screaming my name
Yeah
That's dope, nigga
True wealth cannot be measured in gold
But in experience, age and everything that comes with it
Is a blessing
So many of us are chasing our youth
Fixated on the wonderyears
When every moment they have now is wonderful
Family, friends, having children
And shifting the perspective of one's entire world
In the blink of an eye
This is age
So while you look in the mirror
Thinking those thoughts
Just remember
With every wrinkle and every gray
Comes another day
That you're alive
I learned half of what I know
From the worst teacher goin'
Experience
That school's too slow
An' I know folks
Smart ones from the city
Who gone and made a life's work
And a decade later
they still do it shitty
Experience
That's experience for ya
Moves kinda slow
You get off the bus
The same guy that got on 20 years ago
And as I feel it
Is it art or imitating?
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
It's murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC

In history's great dark hall of fame

And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three

Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, be , see, D, E
You step into the clubhouse
With Aunt Caroline by your side
You still don't know
I see through your many disguises
You love to pack and go
Take a plane anywhere
Got your tennis calendar booked up
A smile like a millionaire
But your sidewalk paintings don't sell
And that drives you crazy
You hate asking for ev'rything
From an older lady you told me once or twice
That a new arrangement could be nice
You have a drink with a friend
And he's a young man like you
People wonder when's she's gone
What the two of you do
And I sit by your table as you talk of Miro
Heard they asked you to teach a workshop
This spring is a Paris art show
But your sidewalk paintings don't sell
And that drives you crazy
You hate asking for ev'rything
From an older lady you told me once or twice
That a new arrangement could be nice
I have lunch with Rebecca
And her husband knows you well
You see your analyst on Thursdays
For the secrets you tell
He says you're eccentric
And you swing either way
When you talked about being married
You mentioned my name
But your sidewalk paintings don't sell
And that drives you crazy
You hate asking for ev'rything
From an older lady you told me once or twice
That a new arrangement could be nice
That a new arrangement could be nice
I did no better at college, actually. I went to the Hornsey College
Of Art. Hornsey, with the emphasis on horn.
But being at Art College in the mid till late sixties was quite an experience.
The art of voyeurism
I like to watch
Tell me if it hurts when I push
Tell me do you easily bruise?
Tell me do you mind if they look?
Go against the ways and experience pain
Leading a life which one might call insane
Bathe in the blood of the one you killed
Slaughter to survive, your needs are fulfilled
Using horrid waste
Some of them will taste
Removing deadly disease
With such primitive ease
Cannibals practicing the art of butchery
Emotions don't exist, pain you can't resist
Primitive ways
Conducting ceremonies to meet the ancient ones
While having an outer body experience
Celebrate the kill of the day
Then walk among the guts of the fallen prey
Using horrid waste
Some of them will taste
Removing deadly disease
With such primitive ease
Cannibals practicing the art of butchery
Emotions don't exist, pain you can't resist
Naw
So don't get caught up in appearance
It's Outkast, Aquemini another Black experience
Okay
Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain, nothin' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
It's him and I, Aquemini
The name is Big Boi, Daddy Fat Sax
The nigga that like them Cadillacs
I stay down with these streets
'Cause these streets is where my folks at
Better know that some say we pro-black, but we professional
We missed a lot of church so the music is our confessional
Get off the testicles and the nut sacks
You bust a rhyme we bust back
G-Get back for real niggas that's out here tryin' to spit facts
You hear that can't come near that, maybe you need to quit (quit)
Because Aquemini is Aquarius and a Gemini runnin' shit like this (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten
Meet the twin Andre Ben', welcome to the lion's den
Original skin, many men comprehend
I extend myself, so you go out and tell a friend
Sin all depends on what you believin' in
Faith is what you make it, that's the hardest shit since MC Ren
Alien can blend right on in wit' yo' kin
Look again 'cause I swear I spot one every now and then
It's happenin' again wish I could tell you when
"Andre this is Andre, y'all just gon' have to make amends"
Even the sun goes down heroes eventually die
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain and nothin' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
It's him and I, Aquemini
"Finally Igor, we've done it, we've done it"
"Yes master, yes master"
"Yes Igor, we've done it"
"Uh-oh"
Naw
So don't get caught up in appearance
It's Outkast, Aquemini another Black experience
Okay

Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain, nothin' lasts forever

It's the ODB kid, once again coming through your area
And I'm going to tell you one time, you gon' love this
I had to get the money, said it wasn't a choice
Die Hard's on the bars, 80's love in the voice
Morphine flow, numbing your joints
Bomb a nigga like he number 81 from Detroit
Zombie life, World War Z
Antidote to your virus, your highness, the world on me
Capital G, cool as the dude from Dos Equis
So deadly, I don't make it rain, I snow heavy
Sick lane, Nic Cage how I ride with fire
Forever with bars, sort of like a lifer
With the Son of Anarchy, I be Breaking Bad
Walkin' Dead, day dreamin' of making a band
Dancin' With the Stars, American Idol
Meets the Mentalist with the Big Bang Theory
Still number one, still number one, still number one, one, one
Still number one, still number one, still number one, one, one
The most duplicated, anticipated, validated
Urban legends in the books with the ones who made it
Highly celebrated, everything was work related
Current top 40 got the Wu deep in all their business
20 years Killa Bees, yeah, we hold the pennant
Monumental stance on the cover with my co-defendants
Drop her sentence, in remembrance
Construct these jewels so they can live through my descendants
Youngin', I can see your draws, pull your pants up
Can't even call yourself a man until you man up
And if you call yourself a fan you need to stand up
This ain't a party, it's a jux, keep your hands up
And I don't care run in the city when the summer come
Yes, I'm a don, Wu forever, and we're still number one
Still number one, still number one, still number one, one, one
Picture a nigga on the strip gettin' rich off the drug shit
Puttin' other niggas on, teachin' 'em thug shit
Then they want stick 'em up, then they want slugs quick
Hood type niggas always living that crime life
Jealous ass grimy-ass niggas seein' the limelight
Slimy old nigga like fucking your man's wife
Full of shit, he use the word brother, he man dyke
Yo, I spin my web all across New York
Get it out out in all types of ice that you sport
One chain, two chain, three chain, four
Niggas mouth's drop like the leaves in the fall
Tone got that WBC
I take off heavy in air ballons and land in the Fiji's
That's my bird and that's my word
You faggots keep fuckin' around get curbed
Forms circles like the rings of Saturn
Dust rocks and ice in a particular pattern
Then this fascinating picture has emerged from surface
A wonder of the young world with an urgent purpose
A wild fire engulfing every home
It's history, chiseled and carved in every stone
A workshop where skills are learned
Handcrafted and drafted, written works our main concern
Urban center provided with a social structure
And a curious culture full of superconductors
Each stain is part of a scene with
Intricate geometric raps on a larger screen
Spell bounding, marvelous and it's surrounding
Viewpoints remain the same, it's all astounding
A place where the forgotten art is so powerful
A striking image is something that's so valuable
GZA, this is called Ruckus In B Minor
Rae, all those bad times is behind us
Ghost, put that mask on to remind us
Method Man let 'em know who's New York's finest
Youngin', I can see your draws, pull your pants up
Can't even call yourself a man until you man up
And if you call yourself a fan you need to stand up
This ain't a party, it's a jux, keep your hands up
And I don't care run in the city when the summer come
Yes, I'm a don, Wu forever, and we're still number one
Still number one, still number one, still number one, one, one
My lines is like Peruvian coke, go ahead and try one
My recipe is A1 remarkable with my mixture
Rainman mathematician, this city slicker
Finest threads cover my frame, the cloths of royalty
Strive with an army of winners and no pretenders
We live free and achieve more
But first we gotta win with no stale mate
The all eye seeing is victorious biz to the sound man
All my trucks, tanks are bulletproof, been the truth
Loot the track, clear the booth, my thought ready, aim, shoot
My knowledge one twenty poof, let's tear the roof off
Let's spray, NMSTA
King I love, love club, pack stadium rock
I hold the mic snug, split a slug
Black ninja, mask and gloves
Still number one, still number one
and I said
‘Hey, I’m at Dover Street Market, ’"
He recalled "I always said I would
Never shoot a music video
And here we did one in 10 days
That’s Kanye: It’s been a wild ride"
The director said West played him his entire
Forthcoming album, "So Help Me God
" and he decided to
Blend elements of two tracks
Shooting the video at
Chatham Dockyard, with West donning
A vintage T-shirt
Acne Jeans and his new Kanye West
X Adidas Originals Yeezy high-tops
In an interview after his performance
His wife Kim Kardashian curled up on a sofa
Manipulating her iPhones
West was unequivocal about
How fashion shows, particularly in Paris
Nourish his creativity
"As a musician
I would have never been able to design a show
Like what you saw tonight if it hadn’t been
For my experience in Paris learning
How to minimize and make
Design decisions, how we started with
Just the single light, "
Said West, a stickler for details who barked
At security guards between songs
For loitering in front of
The giant screens surrounding
The stage, upon which images
Of boiling clouds, waterfalls, stars and
Smoky forests were projected "It’s
Part of the show, " he pleaded
While a divisive figure in fashion many are
Put off by his front-row ubiquity and
Often surly behavior West clearly
Relishes his role
As a cultural lightning rod where
Style, art and music intersect
The hip-hop artist
Lauded the creative people "that work
Here, the city it'self, the music that’s
Played at the shows, the colors
The palettes i actually get a lot that
I take back and put into music"
West’s ties to LVMH Moët Hennessy
Louis Vuitton stretch back to
2006, when he performed at a
Fendi event in Tokyo
Later collaborating with Louis Vuitton on
A sneaker range in 2009
More recently, after meeting at
A Givenchy show, west
Struck up a friendship
With Alexandre Arnault, who doffed his Dior
Homme jacket at the show and
Bopped around with his
Friends, mouthing the words to
Songs on the playlist
Which included "All of the Lights"
And "Ni–as in Paris"
A tour of the foundation building sparked the
Concert idea "When I saw it
I was just so in love
With architecture and the
Modern space and the way they curated
The art i just asked would it be OK for me
To do a performance there, " West said
Tickets for the four concerts
Which end Tuesday, sold
Out quickly at 100 euros, or $113
A pop west said all proceeds
Would go to charity
Meanwhile, Kardashian had spent
Part of Saturday
At the hairdresser to adjust the
Color on her new blonde locks, which
Had assumed a yellow cast
Not the platinum she was after
"He fully got the color right and
It’s so perfect, I’m like, ‘Don’t make
Me fly out to Paris every time
I need to color my hair, ’"
She said with a smile "I’m happy with
It it’s a look but I
Have a couple of shoots coming up
And everyone is like, ‘Huh
What’s going on?’"
Know a nigga had to walk on water
'Cause I ain't wanna bring that back to the sanctuary
Yeah
Won't say I-
Look, you know I had, uh
Did the incapable, started a battery, got back in charge
Did it again
Haters'll hate to admit I'm amazin'
I mastered the art of incapable wins
Top of the mountain, my feather was floatin'
On top of my head while facin' the wind
Father Creator, forgive all my sins
Almighty Creator, I need to be cleansed
Rockin' all white, spirit fulfilled
Lit up the sage inside of the Benz
Swimmin' with sharks, I get caught slippin'
I ain't doin' no boss trippin'
Did a few miracles
Walked on water in front of you niggas
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Did a few miracles
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Made 'em believe, I did a few miracles
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Walked on water in front of you niggas
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Me, I'm the real deal, no pretendin' (for real)
I'm with my engineer, we on business (yeah)
Cut the balloon, wrapper ink inner tube
'Bout to vacuum seal reassemble (yee)
Wide streams with the wide wings
With the grid lines I done tried things
Diamond link with the small B
With the big steps in the middle
Michael Jackson Bad with the riddles
You gotta get some fast comprehension
Moonwalkin' backwards with a lot of squares
I maneuver past competition
Last year, I was on my ass
I was doin' bad, I remember (I remember)
Said a prayer as I sped past (vroom)
Do the dash in the Bentley (do the dash in the Bentley)
Did the incapable, started a battery, got back in charge
Did it again
Haters'll hate to admit I'm amazin'
I mastered the art of incapable wins
Top of the mountain, my feather was floatin'
On top of my head while facin' the wind
Father Creator, forgive all my sins
Almighty Creator, I need to be cleansed
Rockin' all white, spirit fulfilled
Lit up the sage inside of the Benz
Swimmin' with sharks, I get caught slippin'
I ain't doin' no boss trippin'
Did a few miracles
Walked on water in front of you niggas
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Did a few miracles
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Made 'em believe, I did a few miracles
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Walked on water in front of you niggas
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
She can't manipulate me, she got frustrated
She done reach the point of no return (return)
Go live with what you did and don't return
I'm up in rank, I had to wait my turn (my turn)
Hm, chief finally got my turn
Speakin' out of turn, one day you gon' learn
Made my heart hurt, now you in your feelings
Cry me a river, I am not concerned (I am not concerned)
Ain't gettin' mushy, we keepin' it pushin'
I'm stretchin' my muscle, I know how to hustle
Wealth of experience, I come out the gutter
You come out the mud, you could come out from nothin'
Bought me a brick, I done cut down the hundreds
Supplyin' them junkies, controllin' the summer
Trampoline trappers supportin' my youngins
Breadwinner package, you know I'm comin'
Did the incapable, started a battery, got back in charge
Did it again
Haters'll hate to admit I'm amazin'
I mastered the art of incapable wins
Top of the mountain, my feather was floatin'
On top of my head while facin' the wind
Father Creator, forgive all my sins
Almighty Creator, I need to be cleansed
Rockin' all white, spirit fulfilled
Lit up the sage inside of the Benz
Swimmin' with sharks, I get caught slippin'
I ain't doin' no boss trippin'
Did a few miracles
Walked on water in front of you niggas
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Did a few miracles
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Made 'em believe, I did a few miracles
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Walked on water in front of you niggas
I borrowed a pair of God slippers
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
It's murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name
But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, be , see, D, E
Naw
So don't get caught up in appearance
It's Outkast, Aquemini another Black experience
Okay
Even the sun goes, down heroes eventually die

Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain, nothin' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
It's him and I, Aquemini
The name is Big Boi, Daddy Fat Sax
The nigga that like them Cadillacs
I stay down with these streets
'Cause these streets is where my folks at
Better know that some say we pro-black, but we professional
We missed a lot of church so the music is our confessional
Get off the testicles and the nut sacks
You bust a rhyme we bust back
G-Get back for real niggas that's out here tryin' to spit facts
You hear that can't come near that, maybe you need to quit (quit)
Because Aquemini is Aquarius and a Gemini runnin' shit like this (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
My mind warps and bends floats the wind count to ten
Meet the twin Andre Ben', welcome to the lion's den
Original skin, many men comprehend
I extend myself, so you go out and tell a friend
Sin all depends on what you believin' in
Faith is what you make it, that's the hardest shit since MC Ren
Alien can blend right on in wit' yo' kin
Look again 'cause I swear I spot one every now and then
It's happenin' again wish I could tell you when
"Andre this is Andre, y'all just gon' have to make amends"
Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die
Horoscopes often lie and sometimes, "Y"
Nothin' is for sure, nothin' is for certain and nothin' lasts forever
But until they close the curtain
It's him and I, Aquemini
Electric! Wire! Hustle! Flower!
Out of body experience, hard to explain
Like the pyramids and gods, I remain
I know pain, like Kurt Cobain
Or AI playin, hurt the whole game
Digging to the Earth's brain for worst gain
Focused like young blood on his first chain
I used to write shit, to please niggas
Now I write shit, to freeze niggas
Whether iced out or American pie sliced out
I sit in the room with the lights out
Whether diced out
Or with their hair spiked out
I sit alone in the room
With the lights out screaming
Electric!
As we pulled into town there was a breakdown
As the moonlight hit the town
But it was High Noon in somebody's head
Before the first boot hit the ground
Spent the day in Cincinnati on the cell phone
Trying to figure out the expense
Stabbing fists into drawn-shade darkness
Battered by experience
There's something to be said for hangin' in there
Past the point of hangin' 'round too long
Hung out to dry or put away wet
All the same when it all goes wrong
It's all my fault, it's all my fault
When you misconstrue the wonder and the shame
All over town, my name's passed around
'Til you can't tell the darkness from the flame
You can't tell the darkness from the flame
I left my car at the airport
And flew to Kansas City in the rain
I know enough to know I'm standing here soaked
And the weatherman's to blame
I left the house empty after sunset
With someone else to figure out the stains
I take my responsibility
For the darkness and the pain
It's all my fault
Everything's my fault
Guess a butcher know how to trim the fat
When it all comes down
Armageddon's back in town
You can't tell the rabbit from the hat
You can't tell the rabbit from the hat
The dye has been cast
Symbolisms so pronounced
There's nothing left to wonder or explain
There'll be no healing
From the art of double-dealing
Armageddon's back in town again
Armageddon's back in town again
Armageddon's back in town again
In the realm of details, I find my bliss With every stroke, I carve my wish A world of wonder, in my hands From the mundane, I shape my lands
The art of craftsmanship, a journey so deep In the tapestry of life, I sew my dreams With every thread, a story to tell The art of craftsmanship, in every detail
In the workshop of time, I refine my craft With patience and care, I seek the path Crafting moments, one by one In the dance of creation, I’m the one
The art of craftsmanship, a journey so deep In the tapestry of life, I sew my dreams With every thread, a story to tell The art of craftsmanship, in every detail
In the hall of memories, I find my art A tapestry of moments, woven with my heart Every stitch I take, I make it count In the river of time, I’m the one who’s taught
The art of craftsmanship, a journey so deep In the tapestry of life, I sew my dreams With every thread, a story to tell The art of craftsmanship, in every detail
In the workshop's embrace, a Virgo thrives,
Crafting wonders from wood, he arrives.
With steady hands and discerning eyes,
Each detail perfected, every creation a surprise.
