While he does not use a knife for surgery, his wordplay is so tight that it can slice directly into his victim’s mind. Haters, scared to face death, want to kill Twisted before he can strike, but all have failed.

Stone cold killas!

Hara-kiri, (also known as seppuku), is an ancient Japanese form of ritualistic suicide by disembowelment that defeated samurai, or those whose shame was ‘too unbearable’, would use to restore their honor in death. It’s usually stabbing yourself in the stomach (Hara) and cutting (Kiri)

At this point Chris has backtracked in order to further describe his car which has suicide doors, the name of which reflects the increased danger of the door opening if it unlatches when the car’s in motion

Well, this verse kills from the wordplay and the brutality these from Tech N9ne, K-Dean and Krayzie Bone:

Can you deal with Twista, can you hold up with him? He’ll cut your head only halfway, so he can laugh at you while you are TRYING to survive! He is so brutal that God doesn’t accept him and the devil is helping him.
