This i...
[Chorus]
Nowadays people are too afraid
'Cause saying what's on your mind's like stepping on a landmine
Nowadays people have gotten worse
I'm thinking we need to purge, 'cause the world's in a decline
Obsessed, everybody is stressed
Everybody's a slave, everybody's oppressed
Like nowadays people are too afraid
Of saying what's on your mind, 'cause the world's in a flatline
[Verse 1]
Yeah, they wanna call me a nuisance
Just becausе I'm not afraid of giving my two cents, it's stupid
They try to tell mе I'm ruthless
'Cause I respond back to all the rudeness you spit, it's abusive
I never claimed to be a rapper, you did
I never woke up and chose violence, it's useless
Homie, if the shoe fits, then prove it
You do a lot of talking, but you're not gonna do shit
My fuse lit, you just made my shit to-do list
When you push me past the point of no return, I'm ruthless
Like, "Oh, shit", I'm the Exorcist of music
'Cause I got so many fucking heads spinning, it's stupid
Like who's this? Bitch, I'm the one you excluded
You wanna talk about equality, but I'm not included
I think it's funny and ironic, and it's pretty amusing
You proved my whole point by this chorus I'm doing, it's like
[Chorus]
Nowadays people are too afraid
'Cause saying what's on your mind's like stepping on a landmine
Nowadays people have gotten worse
I'm thinking we need to purge, 'cause the world's in a decline
Obsessed, everybody is stressed
Everybody's a slave, everybody's oppressed
Like nowadays people are too afraid
Of saying what's on your mind, 'cause the world's in a flatline
[Verse 2]
And while we're on the subject of this
I got a couple things I wanna get off of my chest
I don't mind when a band sees another success and gets inspired
It's the copying I cannot respect
And you can go to my label, my director, my producer
But you'll never get that magic at the level I do it
You motherfuckers keep on actin' like I never influenced an entire generation
I'm the antithesis to it
You went from rock to rap, but I did that first
You went from rap back to rock 'cause the rap didn't work, that's worse
You're acting like you never heard of me, homie
But everybody that I know, truly knows you're baloney
And people throwin' accusations at me, knowin' it's phony
Just to get a reaction out me 'cause they're bored and they're lonely
If only I could've told what I know, being forty
To the younger me, then this would've been a different story, because
[Chorus]
Nowadays people are too afraid
'Cause saying what's on your mind's like stepping on a landmine
Nowadays people have gotten worse
I'm thinking we need to purge, 'cause the world's in a decline
Obsessed, everybody is stressed
Everybody's a slave, everybody's oppressed
Like nowadays people are too afraid
Of saying what's on your mind, 'cause the world's in a flatline
[Verse 3]
Suicidal thoughts got you tyin' knots
Got my rivals in denial 'til their fuckin' vitals stop
There ain't a single person on this fuckin' planet that can top
What I'm doin' with this music, I'm just waitin' for the drop, like
I, I'm just waitin' for that drop
Well, I wish a motherfucker would tell me when to stop
My tunnel vision's got me feelin' like I'm in a prison
Walls are closin' in on me and I'm sick and tired of livin' in it, ha
But every minute that I'm livin's like a mission
I'll admit it, but I'm grateful for that shit I'm given, ha
'Cause it turned me to a monster
I just keep on getting stronger, I'm not waiting any longer
Either conquer every genre like I'm Genghis Khan or chop you like a helicopter
Into sixty pieces like I'm Jeffrey Dahmer
[Outro]
I'm goin' insane
There's somethin' that's wrong with my brain (Brain; N-N-NetuH; no)
I'm colder than a frozen lake (Damn)
Death is a heartbeat away
Don't take advice from that motherfuckin' antichrist
Back down, you don't wanna see the show (Show)
Bloodbath 'cause you reaping what you sow (Sow)
Think you know me, I promise you don't (No, no)
Step up, motherfucker, let's go (Ha, ha; woo)
And I know that you don't want the smoke (Ghost)
Fuck around, end up a ghost (Ghost)
Thinkin' you know me, you don't (Don't)
Fuck out my face and you won't (Won't)
