Full lyrcics:
I walk around
While my eyes are falling to the ground
A sword by my side.
And there’s more than what meets the eye.
– I never say a lot
I let my moves do the talking
– and everybody’s looking
wondering what I’ll be doing
I am the samurai
you know you can’t deny
I tend to leave my enemies
Standing by paralyzed
Never go to battle
Unless I know I’m gonna win
Never start a fight
Because I only finish them
I am the samurai
that once served the emperor
But he was corrupt
Cause he wanted to be treasurer
I went rogue
Now you see I’m on the run
You know I’ll keep running
Till the dawn of the sun
I move fast, so I wouldn’t put it past me.
– when they are asking if I like battling
Traveling many roads, looking for the peace of mind
No matter where I go – someone’s got to be a guy
With the shogunate, – trying to arrest me
But they didn’t know, I was close to the best see
– The day they catch me, I know they will be terrified
– Bushido, it’s the way of the samurai
I am the samurai
you know you can’t deny
I tend to leave my enemies
Standing by paralyzed
Never go to battle
Unless I know I’m gonna win
Never start a fight
Because I only finish them
I am the samurai
that once served the emperor
But he was corrupt -cause he
wanted to be treasurer
I went rogue
Now you see I’m on the run
You know I’ll keep running
Till the dawn of the sun
Spending nights in the woods for the months ahead
Sleeping with one eye open cause I’m wanted dead
No, not alive. There’s a bounty on my head.
So I got to see if you could be a foe or a friend.
and then a bunch of ninjas coming out to slay me
Hired by the powers that I’m eliminating.
Please, stand back, if you don’t mind
Cause they didn’t know that I was waiting the whole time
Break
Look at me, I’m moving and you know that I am too fast
Guess you’re gonna die but I say already knew that
I don’t really give a shit if you don’t want to surrender
No mercy for the mercenaries of the emperor
I could take you all down 5 at a time
But I guess that you just should’ve brought more guys
I’m never going down because I got the will to live
So you’re better off walking on home with every limb
– I could turn the powerfully to cowardly.
About to be your worst nightmare undoubtedly.
Don’t care what they say, don’t give a fuck
Cause you will be kneeling on the ground choking on your blood
I am the samurai
you know you can’t deny
I tend to leave my enemies
Standing by paralyzed
Never go to battle
Unless I know I’m gonna win
Never start a fight
Because I only finish them
I am the samurai
that once served the emperor
But he was corrupt
Cause he wanted to be treasurer
I went rogue
Now you see I’m on the run
You know I’ll keep running
Till the dawn of the sun
I am the samurai
I am the samurai
I clean my sword off
Put it back in its sheathe
Didn’t break a sweat
Cause I know how to breathe
I walk away slowly
Without an afterthought
No remorse for the forces
I haven’t sought
and then I will continue on
on an endless journey
maybe one day they will see I’m unworthy
that’ll be the day
the law hasn’t won.
Until then, I run
Till the dawn of the sun.
I am the samurai
you know you can’t deny
I tend to leave my enemies
Standing by paralyzed
Never go to battle
Unless I know I’m gonna win
Never start a fight
Because I only finish them
I am the samurai
that once served the emperor
But he was corrupt
Cause he wanted to be treasurer
I went rogue
Now you see I’m on the run
You know I’ll keep running
Till the dawn of the sun
