Rapper’s Duality

[Verse 1]
Let’s Go, Ah, Yeah
I am alpha, omega
The sabotage, the saviour
Your match and your maker
Meet us both, we can take ya’
I’m a purist and a faker
Destroyer and creator
Demigod demonstrator
Man-made human nature
Made up of pain and pleasure
Good and evil in equal measures
Contradict with quantities, bad taste and mad flavour
A blunt foreign object, literal translator
I’m a walking cliché, literary Fantasia
I’m a punk in a [pop fit], a scholar and a scallywag
Represent my hood but never reveal my habitat
Wage war with truth, make lies the first casualty
Solo artist calling on a colossal cavalry
Unmatched tenacity, but no salary
Live in the centre of attention on the outskirts of sanity
Can’t tell if I’m actual fact or actual fallacy
Just act naturally, it’s part of a Rapper’s Duality

[Hook]
Two sides of the coin
Two sides of the blade
Two sides to every story that I write on a page
Polar opposites attract both sides of my brain
That’s why I’m up for gettin’ down on stage

[Verse 2]
I am music, I am lyrics
Like Plutonic & Muph be
So beautiful, so ugly
Which is why you hate to love me
But trust me
You can bite the head off of this Dundee
I’ll only reappear bearing the flags of other countries
My – pit is bottomless
My – music is [ominous?]
My understatement is subtle, which is blatantly obvious
Equal parts Orwell, Blake and Shakespeare
Proof Mantra all be couldn’t fit in any category
Outspoken allegory, tear the system up
With a bomb strapped to my chest yelling “Terrorism sucks!”
I’m a lover and a fighter
A bully and a pacifist
A soldier and an activist
Spiritual and blasphemous
I started getting high, when I quit smoking cannabis
Now that I’m done chillin’
You can catch me where the action is
Where the bones are broken
To be kinda honest, man, I’m not a fan of confrontation
I just kinda like emotion
I figure I’m either a wolf in a sheep’s clothing
Or a great white rapper that lives in the deep ocean
So I’mma keep hoping until it’s back to reality
A gift and a curse, this is the Rapper’s Duality

[Hook]
Two sides of the coin
Two sides of the blade
Two sides to every story that I write on a page
Polar opposites attract both sides of my brain
That’s why I’m down for gettin’ up on stage

[Verse 3]
Close talker slash long hearer
Modern artist who was played by being born in the wrong era
Bond villain slash superhero
Mick Jagger slash sick rapper
Your baby momma’s favourite super lover
She call me daddy like a motherfucker
[Not actual woes?] slash the other gunner
The funky drummer
Up-and-comer slash veteran
Wicked with adrenaline
Wreaking havoc and administering bad medicine
On stage I’m a confident guy
But this is all a disguise
Really I’m awkward and shy
Constantly walking a lie
Brave and deathly afraid at the same time
I’m a thousand different people contained in the same mind
That’s me in the corner, improving my lyricism
That’s me in the spotlight losing my inhibitions
Introvert and extrovert, a party-prowling hermit
Scared of being alone but interaction makes me nervous
A sunny chap with a bad case of depression
Vulgar, profane, can’t campaign in a message
Made a Molotov cocktail with champagne resin
And then I set fire to hell, with a match made in heaven
That made an impression
Raised a couple aggressions
So I razed the village just to teach them a lesson
Listen, I’m happiest when in the meanest mood
A man of the most expensive taste for ever munching on the cheapest foods
A lust for human flesh, plus I got the sweetest tooth
Since the word “go”
I’ve wanted to have my cake and eat it too
My brain’s full of conflict, madness and calamity
Don’t be mad at me
It’s the duality of a mad MC
