[Chorus]

Nowadays people are too afraid

'Cause saying what's on your mind's like steppin' on a landmine

Nowadays people have gotten worse

I'm thinkin' 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 givin' 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 talkin', 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 fuckin' heads spinnin', 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 amusin'

You proved my whole point by this chorus I'm doin', it's like

[Chorus]

Nowadays people are too afraid

'Cause saying what's on your mind's like steppin' on a landmine

Nowadays people have gotten worse

I'm thinkin' 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 copyin' 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 actin' 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, bein' 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 steppin' on a landmine

Nowadays people have gotten worse

I'm thinkin' 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 living'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 reapin' 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)

Thinking you know me, you don't (Don't)

Fuck out my face and you won't (Won't)
