[Verse 1]

Shanking a twisted motherfucker

Just to show 'em I mean business

Cross the name off of the hit list

Getting red up from the litmus

Know by now that I’m depraved

I’m the ripple and the wave

Removing, unpacking, unwrapping the daggers

That fall in me, they remind me what I crave

You are nothing but a contingent fluke

Cause’ it wasn’t no skill that was given to you

New weak track 'boutta flock to the internet

Almighty God, we can’t ever let him forget

Two out of three, I call that an isoscelеs

Put em’ on mute with thesе different philosophies

You want attention? Then cut horizontally

How many laws that I follow unlawfully?

Cycle around like a roundabout

And I’m a no one in a too-crowded town

Say that I’m something without the clout

Then wonder who’s gonna talk with the loudest mouth


[Chorus]

He has risen (He has risen)

Far above the common man

What is missing? (What is missing?)

Your deceit, I’m not a fan

Seated in the citadel, the point of singularity

Guarded by the consecrated, now observe with clarity

Too invested (Too invested)

For extraction to the sky

Still infested (Still infested)

With these wicked thoughts of mine

Infinitesimal to be compressed in a vacuum

The records will not be expunged

Been imperceptible but unpreventable

Blood on the film is creating a smudge


[Verse 2]

Depression is a bitch, I’ve seen it’s a fact a bit too well

Suspended in the abyss, who else wanna fuck with me?

In the hole that you dwell

Encroaching on the liberties, initiating new upheavals

Damage the planet and all its inhabitants

They got a patent, expending the diesel

Separation, you scared of that

You won’t stay right here, like where you at?

Ain’t a secret tracked down, go to my scent

And I got no fucking halo parked over my head

Fuck it I’m sober enough, ain’t no dope in the cut

For now I will be choking on rust

Trick up my sleeve with the coke and the dust

I’ll be killed by the overdose, hoping it does

In no mood for the theistic shit

But I’m coming up short, what the meaning is

Got what I want, still destitute

Wanna shroud myself, wanna end it too


[Chorus]

He has risen (He has risen)

Far above the common man

What is missing? (What is missing?)

Your deceit, I’m not a fan

Seated in the citadel, the point of singularity

Guarded by the consecrated, now observe with clarity

Too invested (Too invested)

For extraction to the sky

Still infested (Still infested)

With these wicked thoughts of mine

Infinitesimal to be compressed in a vacuum

The records will not be expunged

Been imperceptible but unpreventable

Blood on the film is creating a smudge
