The Hunt
Aceyalone Lyrics

The hunter and the hunted
The hunter and the hunted are constantly at play, moving towards or away from each other.

They hunt for you they hunt for me
The hunter and the hunted always search for someone to target, regardless of who they are.

Whenever I'm awake I look, Out
I am always on high alert, constantly looking out for any signs that hunters are nearby.

Never know when I'll get took, Out
There is always a possibility that I might get caught at any given time.

The hunter likes to sneak behind, You
The hunter is sly and moves quietly, so you never truly know when they are approaching.

Waiting just to undermind, You
The hunter is always ready to undermine, disrupt or attack you at the first opportunity.

Any chance he'll get he'll blind, You
The hunter is always looking to blind, distract or mislead you to gain the upper hand.

Anywhere you go he'll find, You
The hunter is relentless and will pursue you no matter where you may try to hide.

There really is no other op-tion
When you are being hunted, there are few options for escape or survival.

Caught up in the new contrap-tion
Modern society has new and different ways in which we are now being hunted or pursued.

To get away is the objec-tion
The main goal is always to try and get away from the hunters and to avoid being captured or killed.

He smells the scent of your attrac-tion
The hunter can sense and locate you using various means, including scent.

The predatore will get the prey
In the end, the predator (hunter) will always catch the prey (you) given the right circumstances and conditions.

Pray for your life that you get away
When trying to escape from the hunters, survival often comes down to luck and the will of fate.

Weigh out the pros and then the cons
Before taking action to escape or fight back against the hunters, you must weigh the risks and rewards.

Confusion will just lead you on to the slaughter, by the hunter
If you are not careful, the confusion and fear caused by the hunters' pursuit may lead you right into their hands.

They hunt for food they hunt for fun
The hunters may be driven by different motivations, but they are all ultimately in pursuit of a kill or a good time.

They hunt to see the hunted run
For some hunters, the chase may be more exciting than the actual kill, and they hunt specifically to see their prey try to escape.

They hunt the strong they hunt the weak
The hunters will target any potential prey, regardless of their strength or weakness.

The hunt is better than the kill, Real
For some hunters, the thrill of the chase is more exhilarating and satisfying than actually catching and killing their prey.

Close your eyes and try to feel, The steal
Being hunted is a terrifying and violating experience, and the sensation of the hunter closing in on you can be overwhelming.

Cold metal to your grill, Kneel
The hunter's weapon is deadly and will force you to submit to them if they catch you.

Wish it was a sleeping pill, Peel
Death would be preferable to being caught or maimed by the hunter's weapon.

His wig and watch watch his blood spill, Dead
In some cases, when the hunter is finally caught, the prey may turn the tables and become the hunter themselves, exacting revenge.

The head hunter takes the head
The final goal for some hunters is to take the head or defeat their prey completely.

A good hunter don't hunt for the kill
For the truly skilled hunter, the kill is only one small part of the hunt, and the true reward is the experience itself.

A good hunter hunts for the hunt
The purest joy for a skilled hunter comes from the pursuit of their prey, and they will go to great lengths to experience it.

Now that's a perfect hit right there
When a hunting plan is executed flawlessly, it is a thrilling and perfect experience.

That's a perfect shot
A skilled hunter values accuracy and precision in their hits and kills.

That's a clean kill right to the heart, See that
A clean kill that is quick and painless is the goal for some hunters, both for efficiency and for lessening the suffering of their prey.

The runner running from the gunner
Being hunted creates a sense of desperation and a need for sustained movement and evasion.

The gunner's gonna, want to
The hunter will stop at nothing to capture or kill their prey.

Kill him when he see em
As soon as the hunter spots their prey, they will attempt to capture or kill them.

Done away with
Once caught or killed, the hunted is simply disposed of and forgotten.

Almost captured one of these days I will master the get away
Escaping from the hunter is an ongoing struggle requiring constant improvisation and strategy.

Got away clean I mean
When an escape is successful, it is a rare and satisfying experience.

There's not a way out
When facing skilled and determined hunters, escape can often feel impossible.

I mean, no means, no hide aways, no routes
Regardless of how creative you are, the hunters will find you and catch you if they are motivated enough.

You can be on either side, Of Course

Extinction in the hunters eye, no remorse
The hunter may be completely indifferent to the impact that their actions have on the environment or the population of the hunted species.
