[Pre-Chorus]
AR on my back, I'm a real dog soldier
Dropped so many tracks, and it ain’t even October
Wearing all black, got them calling me the Reaper
When I walk into the building, they all know their life's over
[Chorus]
Left me in the past but I'm back from the dead
Had to go and get a bag, now it’s onto the next
Every level losing friends, it been filling me with dread
Going down a dark path, will they love me when I'm dead?
Cause I'm saying like, I melt down, yeah when I'm on the road
My respect full like Metallica wherever I roam, like
Sometimes when I'm out on my own
And tonight, I don't want to die so don't leave me alone like
[Verse]
Every day's another battle, can’t afford to lose focus
Got my demons down so I got to keep the scope in
Let a hundred rounds, leave my enemies broken
Think it’s time to put my plans in motion
Yeah, I'm back to raisin’ hell, brand new tracks, drop more shit
Help me for a feature, little buddy can't afford it
I've been in the house, now it's time for world tour shit
So much in the vault, now you know there’s no shortage
Used to pop pills, now I only pop corpses
Drop a couple tracks and I'll put you where the morgue is
Kill them for the thrill because all these rappers so boring
Say my name three times, that's my final warning, yeah
[Bridge]
The reaper takes you away
Follow me to the grave
Feeling I can't escape
Let me rest in peace
[Pre-Chorus]
AR on my back, I'm a real dog soldier
Dropped so many tracks, and it ain't even October
Wearing all black, got them calling me the Reaper
When I walk into the building, they all know their life's over
[Chorus]
Left me in the past but I'm back from the dead
Had to go and get a bag, now it's onto the next
Every level losing friends, it been filling me with dread
Going down a dark path, will they love me when I'm dead?
Cause I'm saying like, I melt down, yeah when I'm on the road
My respect full like Metallica wherever I roam, like
Sometimes when I'm out on my own
And tonight, I don't want to die so don't leave me alone like
