Introduction:
"I feel like I'm the last rap super-hero, I feel like ain't nobody else. All these other mothafuckas is complaining, bitchin, moaning. I don't get no radio play, I don't get none of that shit. Ain't nobody taking no cars from me, ain't nobody takin' no mothafuckin jewelry from me, ain't nobody doing none of that shit. Mothafuckas, you see mothafuckas losing shit, mothafuckas acting like...you know...whole crews is breaking up. Ya'll niggas rather be more famous than rich." - Pusha T.
[Chorus]
If I died, on the corner
Crooked cops, bloody shoulder
Would you mourn, would you cry
Would you smile, would you ride
Am I loved, am I loved
Send a prayer up above
For a villain, a villain
A villain, a villain...
[Verse One]
Behold, The Pale Horseman
I'm living life in cautious
I came through at a time to bridge the boses
And rest in peace
To those who will die before this
See the fault to that is repetition
My niggas still working off of them plantations
I ain't new to this
In time matured through moves
Was thought was ludicrous
I've never seen the truth in that
Remaining silent whenever the room is packed
Before the losses, I paid the cost to see the bosses
These faces that I faintly remember crossed us
Reaching out was their only option, dawg
Listen, the fuck I look like giving food to mice
Or helping their wave stay afloat
After mad attempts to sink my life
Ayo it's simple, we moving different
I'm still the same villainous Poe
Threat Culture, that's still the mission.

Introduction:
Diary of The Se7en, part two. Don't fall for the hype
Know what I'm sayin?
[Bridge]
Mic check
One two, one two [7x]
[Verse One]
Yo, peace god
You living larger than life
But still a victim to that propaganda
Black on White
And I often ponder about the youth
Like how they process truths
Is this gospel handed off to prophets
Or future military troops
See I be in the booth to show and prove it
Relaxing, laughing at you dudes
Who bring corruption to these foos
I'm bringing the pride of Cassius
My radical flow will anoint the masses
I'll teach you how to survive without a Masters
If you brave enough
Don't be so arrogant like females do
Or too emotional like the rest of these dudes
My people neglect the fact
Too focused on that codeine
Too focused on these bitches
See when I was on the come up
I just wanted to hit some switches
[Chorus]
I'm seeing the changes
Watching as they're rearranging your thought process
Got you looking lost kid [2x]
[Bridge]
Mic check
One two, one two [5x]
[Verse Two]
It's been a minute since you came through foo
I'll pop the brew, and play it coo
Been known to break the rules
See from the jump
I never wanted the fame
My life done stayed the same
I, I learned forgiveness through my father's pain
Look, I call it growth
You call it falling off
I treat this music like it's a work of art
You couldn't relate to that
Too focused going Pop
I'm hoping you niggas flop, it's VON POE
Stuff you back into that vanity box
[Chorus]
I'm seeing the changes
Watching as they're rearranging your thought process
Got you looking lost kid [4x]

Introduction:
More diamonds, more diamonds. Diary of The Se7en, part two.
We gon' try this in one take. I go by VON POE VII.
I'ma add my adlibs and all that shit...
[Verse]
A diamond in the rough, word up
I'm still respected like I'm holdin' my nuts
I changed the gameplan to represent the bigger outcome
And R.I.P. to Nipsey, from that Riverside cuh
I wanna see my people rising above it
Straight up
I wanna see my niggas shining my nigga
Straight up
See from the jump I spoke about what they could
And what they would do
They never spoke about what it was
Too dumb to make moves
I stay true
So give me the mic
And then watch me blaze dudes
These fake ass crews
Fake ass news
I took the side route
Then ran though the alley to turn your bitch out
Shit, cause we was building on the low
Before the drought
Before the doubt began to birth corruption
Before the pain inspired broken purpose
I swear to god, us niggas worthless
[Chorus]
More diamonds
More diamonds
More diamonds
But every one of us has purpose

WIth the villainous flow

Swerving in my lane

Without no pain

Introduction:
Extra extra, read all about it. VON POE, run that shit.
[Bridge]
The Villain in the flesh
Call the press, it's been a minute
Since he swung for they necks
[Verse One]
The Villain in the flesh
Call the press, it's been a minute
Since he swung for they necks
Aye, light the spliff up
You proud of where you from
Then throw your sets up, aye
Sorry for the wait
Them power moves, I had to make em
Easy...easy
Most definitely wouldn't fuck with you
Your, entire crew is filled with
Fake dudes who lack dues nigga
I'm still learning from them older figures
Who paint pictures
Them coke dealers
Turning operations into legal tender
Where you beez, where you beez at?
Almost half a decade
Fans is still acting like they need that
Thousandaire, millionaire
Take it to the bank
Millionaire, billionaire
pocket full of shanks
I'm a little different
Don't let that shit on YouTube misguide you
The rules that I abide to
The surgeries I'd oblige you
A piece of glass
And watch me paint Picasso
Aye cut the check my nigga
Playing macho, this Riverside though
[Bridge]
The Villain in the flesh
Call the press, it's been a minute
Since he swung for they necks [2x]
[Verse Two]
I was sixteen, when I spoke the mathematics
And by the age of twenty-three
The Threat had gain some traction
Twenty-four, a nigga went to war
My first defeat, I made a promise to do more
Where you beez, where you beez at?
Almost half a decade
Fans is still acting like they need that
Thousandaire, millionaire
Take it to the bank
Millionaire, billionaire
pocket full of shanks
I'm a little different

The World Is Yours

Introduction:
Just know that each and every one of you is appreciated.
We gon' end it like this, and send ya'll off with a message.
[Verse]
I knew this youngin from the block
An underdog by any stretch of the word
Without a pops, he knew the system
A shame in time
How life would go against him
Look, the world is yours
No need to paint it different
I often ponder had they played their position
What ended up a life of crime
Wonder if God still listens
To wasted potentials
My memories
Too many funerals to care bout' enemies
Or staying locked behind bars
Minorities destructive
Minorities corrupted
Was never taught the value of life
My Black and Brown
We sell our pains for a price
And know the difference
What makes you think
These actions aren't predicted
We done seen them gangsta movie flicks
We know how life is ending
We sitting locked behind bars
From shootouts with the squad
Thinking that God was in our corner
But the stars had different odds
This big brodie
Just know them streets is not your homie
Look, don't throw your life away
For nothing, shorty
The world is yours..
