Shadowboxing Tko

I could’ve been a boxer, measuring milligrams per pound
So I’d know exactly what it’d take for a K.O. in the first round
I throw punches in the shadows ‘cuz I’m faster than light
And I’m still making sales in the middle of the night

Your mother says you look awful,
Like you just lost a fight
And don’t forget to set your bones
Or they won’t heal quite right.

I always duck and weave,
Move like a breeze
‘Cuz you can’t hit what you can’t see
And you’d have to search ‘til Hell suffered a freeze
To find the last time someone took advantage of me.

People always want an icon who’s too perfect to hate
My record runs clean, but I’m a real heavyweight
When I’m on my A-game I’m as prolific as cancer
Got the momentum of a freight train and the finesse of a dancer.

You’d better do something about your bloodshot eyes
Before you find yourself the focus of their police lies

I always duck and weave,
Move like a breeze
‘Cuz you can’t hit what you can’t see
And you’d have to search ‘til Hell suffered a freeze
To find the last time someone took advantage of me.

I can cross shattered glass without making a sound
I’ll break your neck three times before you hit the ground
They say that God loves a busy man, the Devil takes the idle
If I acquired any more doing nothing, I’d have my own translation of the Bible.

If you think nothing good comes from a life of crime
Just remember my face when your eyes close for the last time

I always duck and weave,
Move like a breeze
‘Cuz you can’t hit what you can’t see
And you’d have to search ‘til Hell suffered a freeze
To find the last time someone took advantage of me.
