Murs - The Saint lyrics

rate me

[Unknown pop record scratched in to open]

"Ready to Break, THE, ICE

Feels like time is standing still... "

[Gradually slows to a stop]

[Murs:]

Now this fool been on my ass for the past couple years

Jumped on the scene from nowhere, takin out all my peers

And of my whole squad I'm the last one left

Cause for some strange reason I always stay one step ahead

Of this Agent named Red

But for the life of me, I can't figure out why my ass ain't dead

And now I clear my head, as we arrive on the site

Makin sure, all routes for escape are sealed off airtight

Thinkin to myself, tonight's the night

Cause I know exactly where he's going

Fuck the double-oh-seven, I'm the Living Legend

With the "Goldeneye" holding my rifle for assault

Aimed directly at the vault

But what happened next, wasn't even my fault

You see from the rear, a strange mist appeared

Strapped on the infrared gear too late

Because soon as it came, it disappeared

And when the smoke cleared, the package was gone

My squad searched savage 'til dawn; then had to e-mail HQ

That the knight had just captured the pawn

We swept the crime scene but it was clean, no clues left behind

So I shot back to the hotel

Had a couple drinks, now I'm back online

Not knowin that's where I'd find the next clue

It said Agent Blue, I'll meet you next

Where the stars are at they best and the sun rest too

So I headed due West

To the town where every night creates a new murder story

But stars at they best didn't mean Hollywood, but the observatory

So I cased the joint

Faced the point that I might not know if I was it

Came across the schedule of events

Next on the list to speak was the scientist

Set to unravel, new theories on time travel

Theories that my agency, already knew to be proven

I guess Red's clients was gonna try to stop us on the move-in

Now I know exactly what he's doin

So the next day at the lecture

I came disgused as the staff director

Even ushered Agent Red himself down the aisle

And just had to smile cause he didn't even know it was me

Then I shot to the balcony where I was supposed to be

Got to the top, my heart damn near stopped

This boy left the spot

Before I could ask where did he go

I turned around lookin down the barrel of his fo'-fo'

He was like aiyyo, just follow me down the hall

And we won't have no problems at all

So I did that, slid the gat into position

Just in case he tried to make this my last mission

Walked all the way down the hallway into an empty room

Where I assumed I'd be dead

Waited a couple of seconds, turned my head

Fool puttin down his weapons, so I did the same

Slipped my coat off, and jumped into a stance

To let this fool know he was about to get broke off

He spoke soft, said it was to death

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, but when I opened my eyes

This fool's about to catch me by surprise

With the first series of blows

I'm up to par, I stayed on my toes

But connected with the next swing

Cut me hella deep with his ring

I looked down at his hand, damn

That's the same ones the man from the agency

Said I had around my neck when they found me

I thought he was the only one in existance

But this nigga ground me, so I held up my hand

So he could see what I saw, he stood there in awe

Dropped his guard, I took one to the jaw

But he didn't trip cause it only made us even

We stood there for a second not believin the shit

We sat down, talked for a grip, I came up on hella dirt

Found out we was brother seperated at birth

By the agency especially trained to maintain

The illusion of international espionage

By holdin up this mirage

Everybody in the Department of National Defense got rich

Now ain't that a bitch? They say we ain't got enough ends

In the budget, for public housing education and health care

So right then and there

Me and my brother about to plan to get over on the man

Went back to the agencies and played the role

But on the under strived towards one common goal

See we both contraband in foreign lands, it'll be enough

We give a fuck, we move the shit by the truck

And the scheme worked like a beauty

So after a couple years we injured ourselves in the line of duty

And of course the agencies showed us no love

But now this is the story I tell my children

On the shores of the islands we bought

From the money we came up off of... bitch!
