Beware of Snakes

beware of snakes
after she breath in 
she anointed my head 
with the oil of life 
now I could see how 
the green snakes 
crib in my grass 

I am in the jungle 
the wild wild animals
still never stop their 
swallow lies 
their contact are  so
tall 
cos they are the snakes 
we kill in the wild 
when we fight for 
our own 

ask me why I don't sleep 
cos the night is deeper 
than deep 
remember the night 
is the day for the wicked 
if not ask the witch in 
your hood 
why they fly at night 
when the innocent sleep
in peace 
is the day for the snakes 
so tell me why I will 
sleep in den of snakes 
so in my nights 
when they crib 
with their evil intention
I stay alive to 
beware of snakes

I know they trust no body 
I know they love the trigger
they minds are so high to evil
they got no shame 
cos they got no heart 
they crib in my hood 
they live In various cities
they are normal but 
with guns they are  beasts
blood looks water to they 
they are use to is splash
it gives them energy
here you see why I cant 
trust a Forest 
cos no matter wild or domestic
a Forest is still no
guarantee for the green snake
in the green grass
if you still wonder why 
I need keep alive at night and 
beware of snakes
