slither
how you move amongst them
wanna stay undetected
only known to meh friend
got to get you closer
like blood in meh veins
so when you come pinch me
you could feel the pain
some see me as leader
but unbeknownst to them
i simply choose meh path
i simply do meh best
but it nah easy
must shed the pain
the pattern hard to follow
move against the grain
from the shadows
with the lights turn off
reflection from meh scales
when you hear this
slither
snake in a grass
one day you feel threaten
next you hear meh bark
then bite
nature the beast
can't tame the unwilling
end in defeat
pick yuh battles
yuh don't want a war
beast lie in wait
more problems in store
watch meh move
make glorious meh prey
when them realize
you gotta hear them say
rattle can see from meh trail
meandering the moments
that drive men insane
who want to be normal
and live in a cage
be told when to calm down
be told when to rage
can have a foot hold
move on meh belly
get that gut feeling
fangs on safety
then meh rattle
meh warning sound
invisible take moments
to strike men down
from the shadows
with the lights turn off
reflection from meh scales
when you hear this
