"Richie"
[Verse 1]
On the way home from work I stumbled across a book
With "d**h Note" written on the cover so I took a look. (Yeah.)
And I was pretty shook at what the introduction said
That whoever's name was written in this book would end up dead. (What?)
I read it feeling disbelief and skepticism with a hidden curiosity so I made the decision. (What?)
To write the name of a rapist imprisoned and they found him dead
By a Heart Attack from a cardiac embolism. (Damn.)
I accepted the overwhelming reality
That with the stroke of a pen I could bring about fatality. (Yeah.)
Should I continue to k** with a sense of morality?
Or should I k** everybody whose ever doubted me? (Huh.)
Contemplating murder and criminals 'till there's none left
And maybe target every garbage wrapper poking out their chest. (Ha?)
And within 40 seconds would I write a cause of d**h?
Or would I let em' have a heart attack our of respect? (Yeah.)
[Hook]
Sometimes I wonder how things would change
If I had a book that could k** with just a name
Would I fly into a rage and write in it everyday?
Or would I hesitate to scribble a name on the page?
Would I choose to k** 'em all in the name of good?
Or would I murder for the thrill every moment I could?
I'm k**ing everything movin' I told 'em I would
You don't wanna be the next name I write in my book. (Nah.)
[Verse 2]
Before I continued on I murdered my inhibitions
I'm using this book to fulfill my personal ambitions
School didn't want to give me that tuition
So the whole financial aid department is coming up missing. (Hah.)
I used to have a heart of gold but Im corrupted
By the power of destruction, this book is so seductive
Heart rushing when I wrote a hater's name in it
10 minutes later news said a train hit him. (Hah.)
I bring d**h to lame spitters and fake rappers
So many names listed it would take chapters
Feds know it's the same k**er that's why they chasin' after
I became a villain so everyday I'm evading capture
I got em finding bodies everyday
Im on a mission to slay anyone who's in my way
So I suggest you never say your name or show your face. (Why?)
Cause once you're written in my book you'll never be erased. (Oh sh**.)
