Nick of Time - "Faust Us"
NoT:
This rhyme is loosely based on Christopher Marlowe's play "Doctor Faustus". The play involves a very intelligent man who has mastered law, medicine, and physics but is disatisfied with all of his achievements. As a result of his disappointment he sells his soul to the devil in exchange for 24-years of getting anything he wants.

Yo, lava rocks pouring molten liquid on our victims ~
Me an' Luc-ie be close, Mephostophilis read the hit list ~
(Marlowe wrote it well, the seven deadly sins) ~
(When it comes to stealing our victims, heaven never wins) ~
"Damn" you, God! Oh I forgot I can't do that shit ~
Whoda thought I'd be inspired to rhyme by English lit ~
(I wouldn't have, you sleep in every class) ~
(Ya "slovenliness" is "deadly", direct to hell... ya punk-ass) ~
Yo, fuck you man, you always on my case ~
I'll sell my soul to the devil to my own disgrace ~
Two-four years a billboards showin' my face ~
Recognised by hip hop, the best in the game ~
(You becoming "proud", that's another "deadly" sin) ~
(Now even if you flee from Luc-ie, God still won't let you in) ~
Yeah so I'll make like Faustus and Vader an' turn to the dark side ~
(Remember, God sees everything... ya ass can't hide) ~
Two-four year's of bliss! Hell's worth it to me! ~
(I'll miss you in heaven! That's a bad decision, g) ~
(Short Instrumental Break... No Chorus)
--- NoT ---
My divisions well trained in combat and in math ~
No revisions, I built a squad infected with my "wrath" ~
Haters get rejected, I leave fake emcees dejected ~
Rape my enemies 'til Bronze statues get erected ~
But one thing keeps me trippin' in the back of my mind ~
My soul's the devil's ain't no way I can stop that time ~
From coming, there's no running, what'll I do?! ~
Whether I keep livin' or give in, either way I'm screwed ~
Eventually death'll come, I'm not confused son ~
Are all these bitches I'm fuckin' just an illusion?! ~
Why me?! Why'd you take my soul Luc-ie?! ~
I've done nothing to you! So why'd you tempt a g?! ~
I got trapped in your web of lies and to my surprise ~
There's no way out now so I may as well... DIE! ~
Wait, damned or not, I ain't goin' to hell tonight ~
I'm only four years in... HMMM... maybe five ~
(Short Instrumental Break... No Chorus)
--- NoT (Lucifer) ---
The end is near, and the situation is clear ~
Whether screwed or not, I live in constant fear ~
I forget the date that I signed to this deed ~
Any day could be the day that Luc-ie makes me take a knee ~
And get cast to hell, my ass done lived life pretty well ~
But only for me, I fucked with lives of peasantry ~
When God looks to my soul will he see the real me ~
Of course he will, YES! I'm saved ~
I know I'm a good person, though I was born a slave ~
I improved the lives of millions, hungry wives and hungry children ~
I'm hungry as hell, hungry to get in ~
...
(Now, NoT, the time has come) ~
(Your army is all "illusion") ~
(Every last gun to every drum) ~
(They was all devils, whole thing was a callusion) ~
("Short", "nice" bars describe your life) ~
(The devil will end this strife) ~
(Now hand over your soul, "confused son") ~
("Fuck them other bitches") ~
(Even your wife was an "illusion") ~
