Knocking at the Door feat. JON?DOE

Who’s that knocking at my door, I hear the hinges creaking My guilty conscience counting down a list of instant reasons When insecurity creeps there is no intervening And since my version of sleep is filled with wicked demons I can’t escape the living only then to find the dead The shining halls sharing colors that my eyes then bled A life I lead or try to lead, the sharpest knife regret Cutting deeper every time I try to hide the rest I dim the lights and hope whoever’s knocking goes away Playing possum just a prisoner at home the prey Sneaking to the kitchen just to try to find a knife Fumble for my phone but drop it, I hear a cry inside Betrayed by the creaking of these ancient floors The knock intensifies, my name is called, I brace for war I thought that home was safe, but here I am afraid inside Wishing I was anywhere but here, but stay confined Who's that knocking at my door? When u spend a lifetime prostrate the only constant is the floor Finger to the prostate they mocking u for sure Bekon u to come be an apostate to a whore When the flotsam s just manure don't be drinking from the swimming hole Gamble on yaself, end up richer than a Seminole Seminal semen'll sever the seams and I'll send em several remembrances December the seasons subliminals Eventually the spring sun thaws out the winter frost Clear to see these men're lost, dawning on em- Pentecost Then slowly via word of mouth it spreads- defend the thoughts Projecting the thrombectomy through arteries to end the clots Free the flow of wisdom, now u see what held u back If you siphon from the source ain't no need to keep the well intact Tell us that what they sell is wack... well in fact No knockin... we kicking in the door with a hellish rap

Explicit Mass Productions makes bangers, his work was the backbone of VLTR KMBT. When we came up with the idea of building something, there was the present the idea of not wanting to tread previous ground. As I explained to Dan O of FreeMusicEmpire.com , I'd likely rap in a British accent before dusting off my Ghostface impression. Find within here a variety, all pulled together with that flavorful multitooled Explict Mass Productions flair. His beats are like The Big Lebowski rug.
