[Verse 1]

I know I can’t swallow my rage

And follow the craze

Spending all of my days

Hollow and dazed

Lost in a haze

In the walls of a maze

I want to amaze

But I’m caught in my ways

Feeling locked in a cage

It’s all just a race

I don’t wanna embrace

Being dropped in a grave

So I’m going out in a blaze

I won’t go gentle into that night

I’ma hold the pencil, and the graphite

I’ma be scraping off on the page

When that light’s turned off and it’s fading

I hear a lot of ‘em saying

“That’s life, there’s no stopping the aging”

But I’ma be raging

[Hook]

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

Can’t work a job for some wages

I’ma bе raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

[Verse 2]

I’m rеmaining calm and able

I'm erasing awful labels

Wipe the shavings off the table

Still, there are days with this gaping hole in me

Where I may need a hero

But I swear I ain’t worth saving, no

I don't wear a cape, but I'm capable

I don’t care if fate’s inescapable

Life is temporary

Yes I'm very well aware that death won’t spare me, yet is very necessary

I confess I’m scared of when they’ll carry and prepare me dead, to share the cemetery, getting buried

Even at the end, I swear that when I’m barely present

In a bed, and fairly sedentary

Resting there, decrepit, weary, septuagenarian, and carefree

I won’t invent cars, like in Mannheim

But I’ll stay ahead like Japan time

Before I’ve been barred

From my damn life, I’ma slant rhymes

And bend bars like I’m Luke Cage

‘Fore I’ve went far to a new place

I’ma end hard, like a shoelace

Or a dense star, going to rage

[Hook]

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

Work a job for some wages

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

Work a job for some wages

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

[Verse 3]

This a reminder with every line, word

And letter I'm screaming, yeah, man

I’ll forever be seeing a heavenly gleam in

Every demon and enemy scheming

Compliments flatter, whatever the reason

But confidence matters incredibly, meaning

Your chances are better believin’

You better believe in yourself

Or you better be leavin’

Whoo! Man, I love cleverly speaking

And with a positive message

Man I'm up every weekend

Planning a lot that's impressive

Not much I cop is expensive

Don’t give a damn about cheddar, we cheesing

And thoughts, there’s a lot I’m expressing

Thank God I’m so odd, I can never be even

[Hook]

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

Work a job for some wages

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging

Work a job for some wages

I’ma be raging, yeah

I’ma be raging

War's what I’mma be waging
