A Trip 2 Ya Heart Lyrics
The night was dark and stormy
I just popped in without warning
Came in
Straight through the window
Smoke followed my trail like indo
Outside to indoors
With a flash
Didn't even see me
Creeping up on ya ass
The sound heard by everyone else
Sent shivers
Sounds like somebody just pulled a trigger
Everyone in earshot stops just stunned
Did anyone see someone running with a handgun?
Is the question everyone asks
Not even a mask
All they heard was a blast
Shattering of glass
"Did U at least see the flash from the blast?"
Shards in the dark
Creeping to the window of your bedroom
....You'd better hope they call the med soon
'Cuz
I'm on a trip to your heart!
(Verse 2)
You're lying on the floor here bleeding
You find yourself having difficulty breathing
At home all alone
Can't even find your cell phone
Something about the way you feel now
Just feels wrong
...But lying down won't make it no better
Swallow the pain
Trying to get yourself together
Coughing up blood
Trying to scream for help
Gonna die from the pain
If you don't bleed to death
This could very well just be the end
As you lying on the floor
Wondering did you ever have any friends
More importantly is this the end
Of your life
You're a goner
By the time you get to Arizona
Say good-bye to it all
As your life flash
You die
Take a bow now
Kiss your ass
Goodbye!
(Hook x4 with heart monitor
And ends with flat-line)
About
Only available on “The Sum of All Fears (Deluxe Edition)”
The song is one of my most ambitious attempts at story telling. It is told from the perspective of a bullet’s journey from the barrel to the heart of the listener. That part of the story perhaps most difficult to portray trying to stay true to the character of a bullet that has no emotions of remorse. From the perspective of the bullet its target is whatever it hits. This was a difficult song to write because I has to personify an inanimate object, while letting the listener know I was trying to tell a story and what exactly is going on…since they are not a bullet. I wanted to tell it in a way that even if you’ve never fired a gun before you could tell by carefully following the story that the main character is a bullet allegedly traveling through the listeners body.
Contains a sample of “Sly & The Family Stone’s”
“A Trip to Your Heart” most recognized in the hip-hop world as the sample in “LL Cool J’s” “Momma Said Knock You Out”
