Unfinished Symphony

Alia - Prologue

Song: Around the Horn

Artist: A'Shan feat. Kayan T. & Fair-E

Album: Beats from the Barrel

Genre: Hama hip-hop

A'Shan: Hey you, mister doctor

Lawyer

Destroyer

Education paid for by the man

Pander to the master plan

You think you earned all this but let me tell you somethin' son

Around the Horn the only power is the gun

Ain't no fun

Sleepin' with one eye open just to guard your cash

Or your stash

Pickin' through the trash just to feed a kid who's prolly gonna die before the age of five

Tell me does that make you feel alive?

Refrain: Around the Horn

Around the Horn

Ain't no tomorrow and yesterday's gone

Maybe today is the day you die

But only if you're lucky

Kayan T.: Ah, you say that you was tougher than the streets

Droppin' beats, but yo' motha' still makes sure you eat

Cruisin' down the broadway in her minivan wit' yo' thugs

Pretendin' you was firin' slugs at all the haters and betrayers

And the fakers who don't know yo' shit

Well tell me, what is it? Ever had a bullet flyin' in yo' face?

Seen a tank shell blowin' up yo' neighbour's place?

Well, shit, kid

Let me take you on a trip Around the Horn

Fair-E: Around the Horn!

Kayan T. : Trolls'd pop you just to get those sneakers you got on.

And you ain't tough until you seen a troll plead for his life

Tellin' you he got a wife and kids, but you can't let a troll play you

Betray you, or it's yo' sorry ass they'll be wastin'

His screams and dyin' dreams fill the air

You shoot and everywhere, the blood is there, lets you know yo' still alive

You've arrived

You at the Horn

(Refrain)

Fair-E: I was born in a smokin' crater

Five years later

I'm runnin' devilgrass and witchweed for my cousin Loe

Three years later and I'm pimpin' his hoes

Guess it only shows

This is the life I know

Twenty bullet scars, one for every year

And one more from when I shot myself in fear
