[Part I][Sample: The Alan Parsons Project]
If it's getting harder to face every day
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't owe me
[Intro]
Yo, check it out, Jon Murdock, 2005
This shit right here's real serious
Love can stop your fear, fear can stop your love
Check it out, yo, yo
[Verse 1]
People love the fear that I bring until they feel everything that I create, I can't yield anything
Life's a long process, too short to talk nonsense
I write with strong concepts and strike at all objects
People use the shortcut, I take the long way
So I pay more attention to what I saw today
The system's washing your mind, don't be drawn away
Because that life you lead, could be gone today
Hat low, new car, letting your chain swing
I ain't putting no one down, I do the same thing
And if the cops kick the door I wouldn't change a thing
Because I know the consequence of what the game brings
I been stressed to the point where I can't think
Deep depression, and didn't have a damn thing
To call my own until I came up with a plan and shit
Screw my head on tight, ten thousand grams I flip
You I know flip that, cell phone to chit chat
Your girl I hit that, I'm slipping, where's my sense at?
This all material, Murdock's imperial
But you know I couldn’t sit back and wait for a miracle
Long road to glory, short road to shame
Saw people fall, saw people gain
The plans fell apart so I had to rearrange
I'ma let my words direct you to the path I'm meant to take
Forever
[Hook]
Nobody has a choice
Used to think we did
We can always use our voice
Thought this to be true
We can live in fear
Stand [?] now
We can follow the light
[?]
Fear can stop you now then
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you now then
It’s not always that clear
[Verse 2]
You ain't filthy rich before, dirty poor, you need to journey more
Discipline yourself to never lose and you’ll convert to old
You ever wanted to be, instead of running on streets
Thinking you thug with a gun and a T
I give the greatest message, I live and take in lessons
Learn by the trials and tribulations I was raised in, stressin'
Never tooken out by numbers, you ain't brave in weapons
Then show a millimeter, that you aim and threaten
My life with, you don't even know what life is
You look at me like I'm just another white kid
Trying to be who you are, I know you're tight kid
You can live a thousand lives and never write this
I'm at a higher caliber, sayonara challenger
Slide inside the lines, I provide the silent silencers
Roam around the place where love, fear and violence live
Happiness is that within yourself if you acknowledge it
A blind man can see more than most of y’all, over all
Hip-Hop is more than what you shoot and what you smoking on
Originality's something, y'all don’t focus on
A tight grip to this shit, is what I'm holdin' strong
Like a man hanging from a cliff who’s just holdin' on
With every ounce of his strength, until his hold is gone
People see what they cause, and they know it's wrong
Changing the outlook for worse because the dough is long
[Hook]
Nobody has a choice

Fear can stop you now then
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you now then
It’s not always that clear
[Sample: Ian Richardson & Richard O’Brien]
Is it, done?
Oh yes, Mr. Book
I have John Murdoch in mind
[Part II][Sample]
Did I, see a moment with you?
In half lit world
I'm frightened to believe
I'm astray
If I stole or if I fall
I'm reaching out in this moment
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Jon Murdock, Foundation
2004, in your motherfuckin' area, yo
[Verse]
What the fuck y'all cats thinkin'? You must be weirdos like [?]
I move quickly, zero to sixty
Hypnotist, switch the mix, quick to click in the clip
Spit shit, rapid fire reactions, the magnum'll spit
Can't miss the area, [?] move like neo
Bust like torpedoes, fuck up your ecosystem
With the realization
Face to face with the faceless, you can feel my hatred
9/11, lyin' in Heaven, rhyme with the reverend
In line with the weapon, fly without wings, glide to the session
It's a dark city, so you know I talk gritty
And walk pretty, take on the best, I got it all in me
Running on empty, nothing but time
Dominate your head unit banging nothing but mine
Laser lens reads the input, soak up the output
Focus your outlook, the flow came, the ground shook
Your Earth is quaking, legs become unstable
From the sickest shit I brought to the table
Counter strike you, strike with the rifle
Aimed at the mic booth, your fantasy is final
Choose your destination, move with hesitation
Lose your reputation, my crew's the best to blaze it
Conductive conduction, flow ruptures your function
Punctures lungs at sudden [?] down, I'm comin' in
Door kicked, wave the four fifth in your office
Talk shit, I'll spark shit, walk awkward the marksman
Cats be setting 'em up, they fuck with [?]
Hear news through the grapevine, now you a target
Tight with the CO, but don't like your PO
He's always like, "Hey amigo, ándale mino"
Speak the English language, y'all cuddled up with faggots
I bag 'em, toe tag 'em, blow 'em with the old Magnum
Packing Gatling cannons to blast 'em, I keep the mask in the cabinet
I'll put your ass in the casket, the flow I mastered [?] fascist
You cats get blasted by [?] men, who want the [?] Aston
You in a state of deep panic and running circles frantic
Abandon ship, abandon the clip, abandon the whip
A man with a clique who won't just brandish it
A man or a myth, dismantle your clique, I'll handle this shit
Ignite your candles, scramble you quick
Try to move, try to duck, try your luck, who you eyein' up?
Tie 'em up, sighin' up, X might size 'em up
You soft like micro, a mic phones you might blow
Cut you up like a light O, ignite the tight flow
Move like kamikazes in Nagasaki, copy copy
Papi tried to pop me, stop me, block me, cock the shotty
Bang the hammers once I leave the bench
Practice my defense and offense, need a park bench, you harmless
Can't eliminate me, use size to intimidate me
I look back like, "Shit, you crazy, make me," I'm feeling shaky lately
Dismantle your counterpart, stand careful in camouflage
You look like you a man of God, my I stand a man apart
2004, Dark City, walk with me, talk with me
Jon Murdock, don't want no war with me
