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
Yeah, they wanna call me a nuisance
Just because I'm not afraid of giving my two cents, it's stupid
They try to tell me 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, "Ooh, 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
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
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 can't 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 bologna
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
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
Suicidal thoughts got you tyin' knots
Got my rivals in denial till 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
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
'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
I'm goin' insane
There's somethin' that's wrong with my brain
I'm colder than a frozen lake
Death is a heartbeat away
Don't take advice from that motherfuckin' antichrist
Back down, you don't wanna see the show
Bloodbath 'cause you reaping what you sow
Think you know me, I promise you don't
Step up, motherfucker, let's go
And I know that you don't want the smoke
Fuck around, end up a ghost
Thinkin' you know me, you don't
Fuck out my face and you won't
