lyrics
ALWAYS PREPARED
Break out split second locks unhooked
Couple shots to the head take em out by the books
Then I check perimeter and stash the corpses
Memorize the map of this jungle fortress
Then I look at my watch, the homing chip is dust
No back up to trust a new plan is a must
So on the desk I grab my tricked out briefcase
Change to a suit, and plot my escape
Creeping scoping the army in the bunker
They're alarming bought by private funders
In suits with a fleet of Rolls Royce Coupe's
The general salutes the mercenary troops
Then I sneak through the shadows in the back
The invisible assassin outta the trap
Then I see my exit, a window moonlit
What do I do next? This
Every hit, and the heart beats faster
Another step up and it might not last
And so it's calm like a lullaby sting silently
I gotta keep cool, and its natural for me
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (yep)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool,
And its natural for me
Approach a guard calm, and ask for a light
When he reaches in his pocket cut his throat with a knife
And then I take his gun and grab his shirt
Then I pick out my favorite Rolls Royce first
Then I go to the others, much as it pains me
I stash their gas tanks with the cloth he just gave me
Light em up, and begin to hot wire
Clock ticks down to the building fire
Ignite the engine, race to the door
Grabbin their attention with a pedal to the floor
The cars explode troops hit the ground
I take my shot but the boss ducks down
Ducked down myself dodging all of the bullets
Race to the door speed pushed to the fullest
Chest starts to burn, losing focus
How do I keep it low? This
Every hit, and the heart beats faster
Another step up and it might not last
And so it's calm like a lullaby sting silently
I gotta keep cool, and its natural for me
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (yep)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool
So I gotta keep cool
And its natural for me
Crash through the gate drive into the harbor
As I dive through the water with vehicular armor
Windows shattered, so I can swim out
Cruising down in the aquatic escape route
Rise to the shore and breathe some air
Next move plotted, always prepared
Reach to my case and pull out a fresh suit
Then I light up a cigar to keep my heart rate smooth
Walking down Main St. half past one
Tracking down the broad that gave me the gun
I find the club, by the dope fresh beat
Looking out for spiders lurking out in the street
And then I hear alarms in the distance
But just like a magician
I disappear when I wish to
But I gotta duck the mercs and look out for this too
Every hit, and the heart beats faster
Another step up and it might not last
And so it's calm like a lullaby sting silently
I gotta keep cool, and its natural for me
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool (yep)
So I gotta keep cool (what)
So I gotta keep cool
So I gotta keep cool
And its natural for me
