Watch the World Burn Lyrics
Yeah, I got voices in my head again, tread carefully
And I don't medicate, it helps me temporarily (Oh)
I got problems, I got issues, yeah, apparently
Trauma that I'm burying, I think I need some therapy
I battle depression, I'm back with a message
I'm asking the question that if you hate me, why you actin' obsessive?
I'm past the point of no return, fuck bein' passive aggressive
I'll brandish a weapon, teach all you motherfuckers a lesson (Yeah)
I actually battle my demons and shadows
They swim in the deep and they creep in the shallows, I'm lost
I gotta admit that I'm living the life that I've always wanted
But it comes at a cost (Yeah), they're lickin' their chops
They're fixin' to rip me apart, I'm swimming with sharks
I'm liftin' the bar, I'm liftin' it into the stars (Woo, woo)
I'm like a shot of adrenaline, mixed with some Ritalin
You started a battle, but, bitch, I'ma finish it
You think you can stop me, not even a little bit
Nowadays everybody's so sensitive
Taking my words and you pick it apart
Trippin' on nothin' just get in the car
Grippin' and rippin' I'm stickin' the mark
I'm tippin' the ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-charts
Evil tendencies are fucking with me mentally (Oh)
I got people that don't like me in the industry
I can feel your energy, you are not a friend to me
'Cause I have been to places that you never wanna go, yeah
I got dirt on people, but they act like I don't know, yeah
I could do some damage, but I'll never rock the boat
All it takes is one post (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), watch 'em fall like dominoes (Ah)
You'll never get rid of me, too many mini-me's ripping my imagery
You know my history, it ain't a mystery
I put every enemy outta they misery
Somebody send me some positive energy
About to go Darth, about to go Disney
Into the darkness, into infinity
And shut you motherfuckers up, you listening?
Stackin' every little pretty penny that I'm getting
And I'm never giving in to anybody, always winning
Never kidding when I die, I'm takin' everybody with me
You're never gonna get me, 'cause you'll never see it simply
I'm a motherfucking god, you're a light yawn
I'm a time bomb, and the vibe's wrong, is this mic on?
I'm killin' the syllables with a loaded refillable
I'm a lyrical typical supervillain, I'm venomous
And I'm never gonna stop until they put me on top of the list
(Burn!)
I can't control the monster any longer that's inside
[Chorus]
The pain and sorrow left us hollow
No tomorrows, hard to swallow
Death is calling so appalling
Tightrope walking, now I'm falling down
Like missiles falling from the sky
Come and save us
The pain and sorrow left us hollow
Here today but gone tomorrow
[Bridge]
The pain inside is the fuel that drives
This flesh and bone through blood red skies
Hahahahahahahaha
The death defying, hypnotizing
One day you're gonna figure out
That everything they taught you was a lie
[Breakdown]
Watch the world burn (Ah!), rah
Oh
[Outro]
The fear keeps you alive
Break the fucking chains, take back your life
The fear is what keeps you insane
Break the fucking chains, take away the pain, yeah
