[Intro: Matthew Brue]
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
[Verse 1: Matthew Brue]
I'm brilliant
At least that's what they say
But they don't know I'm not
Who the hell's to know
[Verse 2: Matthew Brue]
And I'm charming
At least that's what they think
But they don't know I'm not
I'm really kind of mean
[Chorus: Matthew Brue]
Thank God for the music
Thank God for melodies
Thank God for the haters
Those bitches inspire me
These songs keep me living
These songs keep me sane
And that is why I'll keep
[Post-Chorus: Matthew Brue]
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
[Verse 3: Matthew Brue]
I'm happy
At least that's what they see
But they don't know I'm not
I'd like to rest in peace
[Chorus: Matthew Brue]
Thank God for the music
Thank God for melodies
Thank God for the haters
Those bitches inspire me
These songs keep me living
These songs keep me sane
And that is why I'll keep
[Post-Chorus: Matthew Brue]
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
[Verse 3: SHUG]

Niggas better sleep that I'ma eat that I'ma keep that
Wrist and the whip and the froze
Listen Shuga neva keep it typical though
All you niggas wanna step up some more
Killin' em and I keep it fem as a rose
Switch a hip a nigga fuck up the pose
Big witch from the East finna sneak that smoke 'em
Peace to ya priest pop five to you vultures
Bitch get in line I'm defining the culture
Real for the deal my appeal been in motion nigga
[Outro: Matthew Brue]
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
Killing Darth Vader with my mother fuckin' kick drum
