[Intro]

They come for me

"Be quiet or be killed," they said they'd come for me

Whose voice do they obey? Who sent these dogs for me?

If I die, then I die, it was only flesh to me

Now I see


[Verse 1]

They come for me

"Be quiet or be killed," they said they'd come for me

All men are dancers on a thread, weightless and hovering

Thеir eyes, petrifiеd, and wandering

Now I see

They come for me, yet motherfuckers should be crowning me

The detainees form a chorus for the gospels shaped in lunacy

I've seen it all, I've done it all, I've lived it all before

The last I heard, they fall like confetti to the floor


[Chorus]

And I know, I know, I know, I know (Pressure)

I know, I know, I know, I know (Taut as skin)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Through my bones and through my limbs)

I know pressure

I know pressure, God, no (Inshallah, fatwa, my kin)

But I know

And I know, I know, I know, I know (Pressure)

I know, I know, I know, I know (Taut as skin)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Through my bones and through my limbs)

Why'd you hide?

I still know the same hands are still on me (Inshallah, fatwa, my kin)


[Verse 2]

And I've seen red, hallowed are the gutted pores

Of a body born from wreckage gagged and bound to the floor

Let a fool rush in, any and all I'd devour

I'm the motherfucker who took down the towers

Call me boxcutter, kafir, heir to a whore

Damocles hung, cut the cord, I hear them coming through the door

Through the door, through the door, through the door


[Chorus]

And I know, I know, I know, I know (Pressure)

I know, I know, I know, I know (Taut as skin)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Through my bones and through my limbs)

I know pressure

I know pressure, God, no (Inshallah, fatwa, my kin)

But I know

And I know, I know, I know, I know (Pressure)

I know, I know, I know, I know (Taut as skin)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Through my bones and through my limbs)

Why'd you hide?

I still know, I still know, I still know (Inshallah, fatwa, my kin)


[Bridge]

See how they rush in in twos or threes or more

I want them to know true glory's claimed through gore

The crown's a ring of cronies salivating 'round the throne

Put up your hands, hands, hands, hands

For submission of a pig, coronation of a snitch

The rise and fall of a bitch

Their epitaph, a header, "forty hours of terror"

A wealthy life spent, body bent like a beggar's

"Alhamdulillah" chants the tenors, "Alhamdulillah" croon the sick

All hail the bastard daggered, dumped, and rotting in a ditch

The symphony strains, once coordinated, now collapsed

The curtain unveils to expose the crowd's final, palsied laughs

Ten rounds to purge the jury, one martyr made complete

Just watch me push the button and make history repeat


[Chorus]

And I know, I know, I know, I know (Pressure)

I know, I know, I know, I know (Taut as skin)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Through my bones and through my limbs)

I know pressure

I know no gods, none above, nor below (Inshallah, fatwa, my kin)

But I know

And I know, I know, I know, I know (Pressure)

I know, I know, I know, I know (Taut as skin)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (Through my bones and through my limbs)

Why'd you hide?

So how are you gonna stop me?

How are you gonna stop me?

Who's gonna stop me while you suffer?
