[Intro]

I’m not the one (running)

I’m not the one and you knew I never was (I’ve been running, running)

I’m not the (running, running)

Aw shit, I’m not the fucking one (oh, you played me for a fucking--)

I don’t give a fuck

I don’t give a fuck

The place from which your blood comes (no, bitch, I’m not the one)

I’m not the one (no I’m not the one)

No, I’m not the one (I’m not your motherfucking bitch)

I don’t give a single fuck

I’m not the one (I don’t share blood)

Fuck (I don’t share a droplet of blood with you, huh)

I’m not your little bitch, son

Oh, I’m not the one

I’m not the one, fuck

No, I’m not the one

I nevеr was

You know I never was

I’m not the fucking onе

I’m not the one (I’m not the one)

I don’t give a fuck whose blood you share, bitch, I’m not the one

I’ve been running, running, running, running (I’m not the one; I never was)

Running

[Verse]

Dropped the guard, got lockjaw, stop and just saw me watching him

Not the so-called god your father is, bloodline’s intolerant

Politics as typical; profit rocked crystals of King Solomon

Plotting it, all mine; raw mineral riches delivered the spawn of Romulus

Oblivious self-pity set in obsidian since the dawn of hominids

Devolved to feign confidence

Savor it, bottle it

Modicum of caution splayed across his face, making the pauses ominous

Won’t fall for your staunch tactics, shit, I’ll fracture that false concomitance

Product of Pax Romana; violent dining on china of iron and rust, rust

Mimicking Commodus sipping the finest stock in asylum from us

Want us to gush, lush stories of Accra, Ghana, Botswana

Just a modern Livingstone, Indigenous kids defiled your bust

What a vile, fuck, spun the dial, cock it adios

Called a mild and smug toast rubbing the Maserati chrome

While the lyre is plucking a song as long as Hammurabi’s code

Then written in laws that fostered our toxic polyphones

You just liked the ring of it: roped into binding knots tied delicate

This beast in the room between us could poach, skin, and feast on an elephant

Better to leave it be then let it sink its teeth in your attempts of quelling it

‘Cause it’s settled, living centuries in that blessing you requested just to relish in

Just to watch me beg for it, untied the knot ever so delicate

You just wanted to watch me beg for it

I don’t give a fuck how delicate

You could be the most delicate in the world, I’m not gonna beg for it

On the brink and edge of death, I wouldn’t even beg for it
