A kata is a martial arts exercise... I consider this as much, an exercise in my writing ability for public display, to give the people a taste of what I'm trying to do while I prep more professional releases. I thought about this verse in reference to a former partner, who's kind of lost his way since his split with the Mhorlocks. He should understand where this comes from.

I move like a shot in the dark
with night vision goggles, makin' my mark
and while you goin' for that brainless feel
I kill clean with a hard edge, consider me stainless steel
I move like a shot in the dark
with night vision goggles, makin' my mark
and you bizarro emcees stay spittin reverse
its like....

You remember that old sayin' about knoves and gunfights, right?
And still you wanna step into black light
with a Day-Glo shirt and get put down
on the ground as a joke, dudes call you the Dirty Clown
Stop tryin' to make thuggin' your religion
it cuts at your career like a circumcision
so not only does your crrew get shook, your prospectove outlook
is in a shambles, a classic textbook
case of fallin' off and driftin' like Kryptonian inmates
from Superman II, dem's the brakes
Break it up, break it up, break down! The vertigo sets in
as you lose count of the devils that swept in
Like a god I'm-a help you help yourself
Disappear for two years then come back as someone else
then review them early lessons that you know you were taught
'cause if the knowledge ain't caugh, then your soul gets bought

I move like a shot in the dark
with night vision goggles, makin' my mark
and while you goin' for that brainless feel
I kill clean with a hard edge, consider me stainless steel
I move like a shot in the dark
with night vision goggles, makin' my mark
Dead center of my target objective, I'm like Sam fisher in Splinter Cell
Send me postcards from hell, brah
