I'm the king's thirty second son
Born to him in thirty second's time
Born to him the night still young
Born to him with two eyebrows on
And that's

When you try to fight your destiny
Useless display of your rivalry

Seven gates; Oedipus's curse

Oedipus drinking the blood like a zombie, I promise that you will be sorry
Locked in these walls but I saw through the cracks

Y'all are motherfuckers, y'all are Oedipus

Businessman ambitious for the glitz and glam

Ready set grind no sittin' in lawnchairs

Motherfuckers touch the mic and die
Guilty is the plea, King Syze the co-D
They won't let us
Go freebloodthirsty
