lyrics

You ever dance the kenjutsu under the moonlight?
indigo blue eyes, same color as these robes of mine
Im running from my past so fast many have tried
went from prodigal student to ronin I took his life
and thats taboo
I killed the one who taught me to wield the sword right
but it wasn't my intention my attacker came in the night
lights out, I chose my own path, they felt I owed them one
sent assasins cuz' I wouldn't slash on behalf of the Shogunate
my master was a legend, now I'm paying for my self defense
former classmates after my life as an act of vengeance
unfortunately, those on my trail will know my motto
one stroke, one kill
Jin, lightning in a bottle
constantly looking over my shoulder during my travels
and living by Bushido before I engage in battle
a legend in the making, in pursuit of the sunflower
steal sharpens steal fuck your gun powder...

(Hook) These the tails of a samurai, my poetrys deep as my sword, you hear the battle cry

I was born a peasant, living my life in silence
and my family got killed by the sword, I saw the violence
I was just a kid who was giving a chance to live by the master who took me in thats where the legend begins Kenshin...
The wanderer, for 10 years I've been running from my last life
a gentle soul, you would never imagine what my past was like
a master assassin would slaughter your whole team, now they recognize the legend from the scar on my cheek
it's a war going on outside no man is safe from
it's a killer inside of me no man should test the blade of
settled down, protecting this town, I took an oath
never to kill again these villains keep testing my growth
The truest, got a reverse blade on my sword so I can't relapse to what I was doing during the revolution
a weapon plus a legend with the blade in my hand
took those lives as Battosai the slayer of man
I might be going back...

(Hook) These the tails of a samurai, my poetrys deep as my sword, you hear the battle cry

Pappa was a deadman, brung a knife to a gun fight and lost his life for a headband
I saw the whole thing, my father was number one, I was just a child when revenge swallowed my life I made a vow
so from here on out, I'll live by the sword, never be defeated, bring it to a gun fight and slice the bullets to pieces
a true master, but no room for friends on this path, Afro, my name rings bells where ever I pass
it's a target on my forehead, everyday it'll never change, the life of being number two will kill you but keep you entertained
crush all challengers after a glass of lemonade, reminiscent of life before I got in this game
walk the straight and narrow, bloodiest path under the sun, and it wont stop until my target reads number one... x2
