The Killing Joke
Captain Murphy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mas tragam Lúcifer pra mim
Em uma bandeja pra mim

It′s too bad your favorite rappers ain't inspired
That′s why a nigga came to light the fire
Now the game is on my Oscar-Mayer
I'm the nigga kids admire, labels trying to sign me
Speculating my identity, good luck you'll never find me

I live my life like I′m Bruce Wayne, in bittersweet pain
When you see what I′ve became, like a curse upon my name
Caught between the fear and guilt
Consequence of rising fame
I know the day my shit drops my life will never be the same

Yeah, now the night calls me I feel the sky falling
The Dark Knight returns
I never wanted to rule the world
I only wanted to watch it burn
Y'all know how I do
I′ve got the last laugh or two




In that awkward moment when you see that I'm the Joker too
Underneath the chilling cloak, the killing joke
