The Gutter // Interstellar [Ghostface/GZA]
Turned into a Make-A-Wish kid
Cut on the right eye was vicious
Narrowly missed the right temple, accident forgivness
Left cowering in the corner like he heard three 6's
In a row repeated, battered and beated, heated up like some mashed potatoes/gravy/biscuits
Look kid, whatever you did, it's no excuse to act all mighty and high
I said I was gonna make you tear and cry, herein lies, your broken spirit
Folks can hear it, to think you'll recover from this with no interference is doubtful
Seem like a doc went to town on your face with a scalpel
Clocked in and out of consciousness, then permanently out cold
Before and after picture like an orange to an apple
________________________________________
Tried to warn 'em, but this like Tatooine's second Sun
Not done, old show, rerun, concealed like it's a gun
Dark all of a sudden, freckles gone, what a disaster
Replaced with bullet holes, blacker than black, no NASA
Under the surface, an abscense of trash or plaster
An empty void, seemingly with no composition or matter
Quite the opposite, particle physics theorizes the latter's-
Antithesis which consists of an infinite battle
Converge on this verse, as a few heads are already rattled
See, there were two twins alike in every way except hereafter
One was viewed as a hero, though never the one to bend a knee
The other quiet and mysterious, perceived with negative energy
Always did the right thing, but oblivious of anything
Finally they went their separate ways to live out their separate dreams
One died chasing fame, the other ending evil schemes
One full of intention, the other without a care to please
2nd verse like a pastor, but the message not auxilary
The true hero of the universe, much less the the galaxy
The darkness was slowly reduced by the second twin's consistency
A product of both siblings being born and dying repeatedly
And even after the all the darkness is dealt with convincingly
They'll be here long after you and I are considered history
See the battle wasn't between the twins, but the twin and ultimate fire
Characterized as dark, difficult to pin and impossible to retire
Somehow the twin won without putting a finger on the lighter
In other words, skipped the whole "fight fire with fire"
An entire allegory to give you something to inquire
What's more gangster than offing a foe without even trying?
True, their hearts are cold and their rage is blinding, but
Gain the upper hand, look at both eyes, and don't fire
Think what that'll do to a person's psyche, almost frightening
Anxiety and paranoia creep in, no oxygen, so confining
Eating away at their core slowly, yet expeditiously dying
