Path Of Destruction chords by GZA, The Genius
Verse 1
Em
He was raised in a house
where he got scant attention
Twisted yet methodical mind
not to mention
Circus -like atmosphere,
storybook upbringing
Neighborhood full of married couples
who love swingin'
Preacher lived a life he
D
spent in the spotlight
A teacher was his wife
who was stabbed and shot twice
Em
They attended a church
where they both were active
And the little bit of rope he
gave her was attractive
he ruled with the iron hand
if the meal wasn't hot enough
then he'll swing the frying pan
heavy as the hammer thawed
you know he suffered from the consequences of broken
vows and more a convicted felon for armed robbery
at the time where he had sanctioned
deep poverty forsaken by his mother and
D
father price the chief in the town
where he attended sheep on
Em
the path of destruction
today's prisons
are filled with yesterday's
juvenile delinquents
Convicts who ended crime
D
even before they entered puberty.
Em
On the path of destruction.
I don't remember how old I was
when I first got in Me?
Around nine? Nine.
Around six, seven?
D
About ten.
Em
He ended up on the block
with kids, scooters, and ice creams.
But ended out of foster homes
until he was nineteen.
Stealing from food
he didn't do for enjoyment.
At the time of layoff, shutdown,
and unemployment.
He moved into a new world
to seek his fortune
And suited himself to the
times with extortions
He hustled at what was ruled
by men and murder
D
He earned enough for his
daily bread
But wanted to move further
Em
He knew no good would
come from such a sin
Had issues as a kid
so he held it all for dead
And he pursued the game so hotly
On a path of destruction
Even though the road was rocky
Very caught up in his own
drive for dominance
And to know that he would pay in
the end with common sense.
Some say he had long deserved death,
D
and many felt relieved
when they were told he left.
Em
Various youngsters in this
group
have committed assault and battery,
arson,
auto theft, breaking and entering,
burglary,
purse snatching,
on the path of destruction,
D
choplifting, vandalism,
possession of stolen property,
Em
Possession and distribution
of narcotics,
illegal possession of weapons,
assaulting a police officer,
larceny,
Outro 1
on a path of destruction.
