Dice Raw - Video Game + LYRICS

As we revisit rap, why not combine it with one of my favourite things ever?  Dice Raw, meet Lana.  Lana Rel Rey, meet Dice Raw.  On his The Greatest Rapper Never: The Mixtapes Vol. 1 mixtape Dice's "Video Game" is a freestyle-type track (in the vein of his "Game of Thrones Freestyle"...that wondrous classic) over the instrumentals of Lana's "Video Games."  It's only two minutes along, but good ol' Dice Raw packs a lot into a short amount of time.  He gives us something that's kind of empowering empowering, while also having this dark and gritty atmosphere to it.  It's sad, but it almost lifts you back up at the same time.  And with the minimal orchestra from "Video Games," it's almost too much perfection to fathom.  And the lyrics?  Well, you're just going to have to read them to get what I'm talking about

My enemies draw the lines
My allies draw the blinds
Put the mattresses on the floor
We don't sleep, we just watch the door
I ain't scared, been here before
And I'm more prepared than they are, I'm sure
Yo, no one talks shit to me and lives
I don't give a fuck what your suggestion is
No one tells me how it's going to be
Satan's face, the next thing you see
But death it is like ecstasy
Gun play is like sex to me
I know how to handle n***** stressing me
Without all those complexities
Actually, it's really simple
Ice pick right to your temple
Pistols blastin', no question askin'
Throw slashes, kidnappers
Tires screeching, n***** beefing
N***** reaching, n***** bleeding
Blood, is overflowing
No, signs of receding
No signs from the God above
Guess we stopped believing
All that belief goes out the window
When a n**** ends low
Exhale to inhale
Face down, the only way it ends though
But it'll always be people like us
That n**** make them big bucks
And we gon make a big fuss
And we gon cause a big rush
And we kickin' up dust
And we don't give a fuck
Roll up that weed and hash
Roll up on that piece of trash
Blow his motherfucking brains out, then maybe we'll have peace at last
Peace at last
Maybe we'll have peace at last


I guess there's no video for this one either.  I'll work on it, but I'm not getting banned from Youtube again.  The Greatest Rapper Never: The Mixtapes Vol. 1 may still be free online somewhere, so get looking!
