Killing Time
( Hed ) P.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, I'm on fire
Baby, I'm bout to creep up inside ya
Getting high all day, drinking whiskey all night
Flipping of the police when them tricks pass by
I'm that fool next door, always late with his rent
I'm that loser on the couch, watching Springer and getting head
Dreaming about a better time, better place, better life
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
God knows I tried
But no one understands me
The black sheep of the family
My enemies - they try to over take me
Burning and looting till Babylon break me
Look me in the eyes baby, ride with me
I can take it there, ride with me
I know what you want, where you live, what you need
I can make it real, hold it down for you, feel you bleed
Just killing time
Kiss that world goodbye
Its all over now
Nothing is over now
I keep my eyes on the stars
That's where I come from
Belt of Orion
Son of the Sun God
You know my name, I'm The Conqueror
The Lion
King, Ka Maya Maya& come
Twenty Twelve, come twelve tribes, come twelve strands, come twelve lives
Twelve steps, twelve months, twelve drug dealers
All make bail, kicked cause of the crowded jails
Sex and violence sells
Twelve serial killers, twelve dead without a trail or a trace&
It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting

My life has come to an end

My troubles will continue even in death
God knows I tried
I've done my best, but it hasn't been enough
But no one understands me
I feel alone and misunderstood
The black sheep of the family
I'm the outcast in my family
My enemies - they try to over take me
There are people who want to harm me
Burning and looting till Babylon break me
I'm willing to engage in destructive behavior until it destroys me
Look me in the eyes baby, ride with me
Let's face the world together

I can make things happen for you, but it comes at a cost
I keep my eyes on the stars
I have big dreams and ambitions
That's where I come from
My roots come from something greater
Belt of Orion
I am associated with Orion's Belt, a constellation
Son of the Sun God
I am a divine figure, associated with the sun
You know my name, I'm The Conqueror
I am a powerful figure who has overcome obstacles and enemies
The Lion
I am associated with the lion, a symbol of strength and courage
King, Ka Maya Maya& come
I am a king, with power and status
Twenty Twelve, come twelve tribes, come twelve strands, come twelve lives
I am associated with the number twelve, which represents a cycle of completion
Twelve steps, twelve months, twelve drug dealers
The number twelve is significant in various areas of my life
All make bail, kicked cause of the crowded jails
We are all caught up in a system that does not work
Sex and violence sells
People are drawn to things that are provocative and controversial
Twelve serial killers, twelve dead without a trail or a trace&
There are dark forces at work, causing destruction and death
It's prime time, the fight night, pay per view, suicide, the bee sting
The world is a dangerous and unpredictable place
Butterfly
A butterfly represents transformation and change

I use WORDS as a WEAPON...
To diffuse my ABSURD OBSESSION...
I abuse discourse, through AGGRESSION.
To display, we create our own LESSONS.
I DEFY my own LAWS....
To ANNIHILATE what I'm NOT.
My conspiracies APPLAUD....
Eternal mirrors that see my FLAWS.
I eat my own LIES, I DESPISE.
To free my own MIND, by DESIGN.
I am my own SLAVE, till the GRAVE.
Every day I'm AMAZED, at what I MAKE.
Love it when I BREAK, into new INTRICATE THINGS.
Love it when I TAKE, time from ETERNAL BEINGS.
