lyrics

twist right on the volume knob
i spit tight, fistfight when i start to talk
i get loud when i get down at night
i rip mics for the crowd til they call the cops

i be kicking ridiculous writtens spitting
lyrical pictures of sinking ships rhythmically
listen to me
are you digging it figuratively literally
i can give your head something real it can think a little
i live independent of the system in my vision
but i'm still chained, we're all enslaved, getting free still
we're pieces of stars, our people are lost,
i'm tryna lead 'em out of the fog and into the forest
i been tracing adam, his fall, his so-called knowledge,
and concluded it's false, i need to inform y'all:
we need to start uneating the cause
we need to foster peace in our hearts
tryna chant babylon
i'm drowned by the cattle call
and rattled cause my clan is asleep while the battle's on
but wake up's what i'm saying when i'm rapping
so turn me up in the back

just twist right on the volume knob
i spit tight, fistfight when i start to talk
i get loud when i get down at night
i rip mics for the crowd til they call the cops

and the cops?
you could go ahead and call 'em
i be ripping mics all night no problem
even if the black and whites come
they'd grab at my tongue
i'd spit the snakes straight with the poison
i be making noise onstage, i was born to
we all got a part to play in this farce
you asking if i'll charge a fee
i'm too poor to
asking if it's hard to breathe
well of course dude
still i keep going
my carriage my feet rolling
i parry and keep throwing bows
at every kid blowing smoke
i'd be lying in a van, no crying
i would still stand tough for the front lines,
i-and-i fire, lick a lizardman just with my voice
i do mean trouble for them boys in blue
because i'm pro-riot, i invoke violence
i would put my life on the line for the bottom of the triangle
nobody's realer than me, skrillex and z
dubstep down the pyramid scheme
enough said
but they ain't get it
so i'ma say it again
nobody's realer than me, skrillex and z
dubstep down the pyramid scheme
enough said
so turn me up till the cops come through
twist right on the volume

twist right on the volume knob
i spit tight, fistfight when i start to talk
i get loud when i get down at night
i rip mics for the crowd til they call the cops
