 [Hyper Sniper - verse 1]

 I was told when I was a child,
 Never let your guard down, hide any smiles
 The world is a meat market, so leave carcasses
 In the kitchen, man, cause we starvin
 Dark staircase lead to the apartment
 Study the cockroaches crawlin on the carpet
 I wonder what's goin on in their minds,
 When I stomp on 'em, expose the insides
 And every roach that got away and ran
 Enjoy it while you can, got a short life span
 Now I'm a full-grown man, I'll be damned
 If I don't treat these niggas like roaches, splat!


 [Hyper Sniper - hook]

 It seems my life is a mixed blessin
 The soldier with a small heart and big weapons
 Stay focused, I can't control it
 Sittin in the darkness when I load clips
 It seems my life is a mixed blessin
 The soldier with a small heart and big weapons
 Seems hopeless, I can't control it
 Sittin in the darkness when I load clips


 [Hyper Sniper - verse 2]

 I was told when I became a preteen,
 If they strike first, suffocate the breathing
 While he's sleeping, have ya boys time 'em down
 Plastic bag on his face till he stop makin sounds
 Come up missin, parents have a heart attack
 He right there on the curb in garbage bags!
 You don't see 'em, he dead and so be it
 Dental records is useless, there ain't no teeth in his mouth
 You could be next, for no reason
 You best to play opossum, with the slow breathin
 And no speakin. Eyes shut, no peakin
 Wake up and ya legs hacked off, throat bleedin (laughs)


 [Hyper Sniper - hook]

 It seems my life is a mixed blessin
 The soldier with a small heart and big weapons
 Stay focused, I can't control it
 Sittin in the darkness when I load clips
 It seems my life is a mixed blessin
 The soldier with a small heart and big weapons
 Seems hopeless, I can't control it
 Sittin in the darkness when I load clips


 [Hyper Sniper - verse 3]

 I was told when I became a grown-up,
 I'm old enough to go to prison and get my throat cut
 So live cut-throat, live gung ho
 Leave a jabberjaw nipped with snub nosed
 If they back down, let the kids run home
 Will they survive another week? It's unknown
 Pros and cons to bein in trouble,
 You get hospitalized, I get split knuckles, then chuckle
 Leave the hospital in rubble
 You can't escape death, I made it quintuple
 Now how could I have savage thoughts?
 I was raised properly by dad and moms
 But somethin went wrong and the saddest part
 Is seein happy thoughts lost in the man that's Ross


 [Hyper Sniper - hook]

 It seems my life is a mixed blessin
 The soldier with a small heart and big weapons
 Stay focused, I can't control it
 Sittin in the darkness when I load clips
 It seems my life is a mixed blessin
 The soldier with a small heart and big weapons
 Seems hopeless, I can't control it
 Sittin in the darkness when I load clips
