The Crow Lyrics by O.C.

Jewelz (Bandcamp Reissue Version)

1997

[Verse 1]
Check out the scheme of a dream: thick fog all around me
Standing in a tunnel of blood, hounds surround me
The shadow of a child my eyes visualize and figure
And as he walked backwards, the shadow grew bigger
Temptation made me curious to follow it
All fear in my heart, at that point, I done swallowed it
State like trance as I reach out my hand
He wore an overcoat robe, face was disclosed
Wow, was this a dream or reality
Or was I ‘bout to become one of Satan’s fucking fatalities?
In silence, I hear the wings of a black crow flapping
The bird lands, then appears a man
Very sleek in physique, stood about six feet
His pupils jet-black, I had to step back
His demeanor wasn’t pure, I knew this for sure
He had a diseased look that the world couldn’t cure
I’m frozen, the fear returned to my body
Heart pumping so fast, thought I was going into cardiac arrest
I wake up in a cold sweat
Wifey sleeping on my left sound-asleep
I peep around the room and then I make a sudden jest
A feather from a black crow was beside my pillow
Was it a sign from God to rebuke for the things
That I did in my lifetime? Now my soul’s on the line
I’m puzzled, spark up a Newport
Then I take a full inhale of the cancer, then I try to find an answer

[Hook]
My wisdom when I’m dropping
Is something like a doctorate
Necessary like oxygen
I’m seeing who’s my opposite
And who’s my A-Alike
So let’s attract and repel
Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world
My wisdom when I’m dropping
Is something like a doctorate
Necessary like oxygen
I’m seeing who’s my opposite
And who’s my A-Alike
So let’s attract and repel
Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world

[Verse 2: O.C.]
Daylight arose, the wind is blowing hard against the window
Pull up my blinds, there sits the crow
I back up fast, heart beating massive
Lost my breath, falling back, collapsing on the mattress
I went into a state of unconsciousness
Open my eyes up, I’m laying on the dark street
Leaves blowing in the breezes, Jesus
Elm Street like a nightmare, I take off like a bird through the air
While I’m winging it, seeing all sorts of chaos
Dead bodies, burned buildings, turned-over cars
My eyes seeing visions of an all-out war
Territory factors, picture escape from New York
Gunfire, bombs blowing, nerve gas a-flowing
Just imagine a whole race of Holocaust showing
Realizing I was having an out-of-body experience
Return to my physical and wake up tense
Laying in the hospital as I figured the riddle:
G-O-D bestowing me paranormally, so
Give insight beyond sight about the world we know
A premonition that I saw through the eyes of a crow

[Hook]
My wisdom when I’m dropping
Is something like a doctorate
Necessary like oxygen
I’m seeing who’s my opposite
And who’s my A-Alike
So let’s attract and repel
Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world
My wisdom when I’m dropping
Is something like a doctorate
Necessary like oxygen
I’m seeing who’s my opposite
And who’s my A-Alike
So let’s attract and repel
Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world
My wisdom when I’m dropping
Is something like a doctorate
Necessary like oxygen
I’m seeing who’s my opposite
And who’s my A-Alike
So let’s attract and repel
Third Reich government, they’re trying to seize the world
