Lyrics -

intro:
Raw-Ill, finally
bringing to life, The Archives

Practically, a tragedy, but actually
I was just in tune with my reality

verse 1:
and from an open window on a castle balcony
I praise my love for hip hop and all the hate that keeps attackin me
Whipped like a horse dragging pains as a carriage
with no self-esteem there's no way I feel embarrassed
cause i've been back stabbed and i've felt betrayal
but it's all part of the story, I was destined to fail
and i've seen the future by living in the past
the only doubt I have is in the shadow that you cast
so i'll fight for my love until the day that I die
cause if hip hop is dead well than, so am I
and i'll try to breathe life into my one time passion
with the only breathe that I have left to ration
and is this pen floating in my concentration
some sort of hallucination, more like my imagination
is anything real, am i a part of the scene
hamlet, macbeth, and raw-ill on your magazine

chorus(2x):
cause i'm a dark superhero just fightin for the cause
nobody understands me and i'm gettin no applause
and when the plot grows thick it shows all my tragic flaws
and i swear to god shakespeare wrote my life

Verse 2:
I used my life as a way to explain the metaphor
but never let a whore set a score and i'm now i'm bettin more
chips on the only square peg in a round table
cut the cable to leave your situation stable
unable to even deal with my capacity
as i continue battling demons with no strategy
then take my own family plus a ship of men
as poison disperses from the tip of my pen
I must blast myself, to fulfill my destiny
evil grabs hold but wont let'em get the best of me
I tried to do right with all the rules that you gave me
death obviously was the only way that you could save me
and frankly,i think I like it better this way
I always said that I never wanted to stay
so if it's ok, i'll just slip into the darkness
shakespeare told me death to would be a hardship

chorus(2x):
cause i'm a darksuperhero just fightin for the cause
nobody understands me and i'm gettin no applause
and when the plot grows thick it shows all my tragic flaws
and i swear to god shakespeare wrote my life

Verse 3:
If only it was easier for me to start dyin
I'll never live forever but I guess I'll die tryin
but is it worth it to try, why ask why
when silence is what you get when they try to reply
so why do you ignore me, i'm just a word smith
who works with a dialect, say you never heard of it
and to really understand, you have to read between the lines
the hole is in the stage as well as in your minds
go ahead and jump through it, i showed you how to do it
one chance for life bitch, you just blew it
so go ahead and keep acting, make me start laughing
if shakespeare were alive today he'd be rapping
break dancing on the floor, graf writing on the door
getting pulled over but what the fuck for
i'm a writer and a poet, but looks will never show it
and from what i can see i guess you'll never know it
