Anybody forgotten the rules?
Y'all fed my fame like fools
My rap is fire
The flames spire
These lyrics my tools
I've tried to be honest with my rap
Tried to avoid fake talk of crack
Tried to help others with my knack
For music
Why is there always so much crap?
Rap God, Rap Devil
Pricking egos like a bunch of needles
Everyone steaming like a too-hot kettle
So proud of my songs Fake and Venomous
But why is this so important to us?
It ain't cool to hurt a friend of mine
But I think of how we're running out of time
To get offended about what people say about me only caring about my rhymes
Been so obsessed with the fame since I was nine
Why?
Then I realized it ain't about me
This is for people struggling, their lives bursting at the seams
People who try to make their lives better than they seem
People feeling like they ain't got no team
Every day so desperate
Feeling like they want to scream
Their lives feeling more like nightmares than dreams
This is for those who never have the hope they need!
Rap God, Rap Devil
Screw that, I'm the rap Gremlin
Go get 'em
Got a grin
You fed my rage
Now I'm grim
Rap God, Rap Devil
Screw that, I'm the rap Gremlin
Go get 'em
Got a grin
You fed my rage
Now I'm grim
You were warned
There's a few thing I ain't got' stand for
I won't let my family be harmed
Doesn't matter who they are — You're rich? I care more
For the poor
I said no faking
That deal people always breaking
The pain they cause, the money they're taking
You break the rules I'ma go Gremlin
You forgot the three rules man?
Got the first — Don't nobody diss my fam
Second — don't nobody compare me to Stan
And third — Stop the fakin'! Shut that mouth like a clam!
You keep that crap I'm a force you to go on the lam!
You break those I'ma go all Gremlin!
God help them
Once I get started on their case
My people I don't play 'em
But these rhymes I'm slayin'
Fake raps I'm flaying
I may be young
But I swear I ain't playin'
The drugs people are dealing in
Got more trash ideas?
Put 'em in the trash bin
Rap God, Rap Devil
Screw that, I'm the rap Gremlin
Go get 'em
Got a grin
You fed my rage
Now I'm grim
Rap God, Rap Devil
Screw that, I'm the rap Gremlin
Go get 'em
Got a grin
You fed my rage
Now I'm grim
I may be no Real Slim Shady
May not have hundreds of pretty ladies
May be a rap baby
All I know is the best I can do
Is try to save all from the Real Hell Hades
No trailer park girl
Let alone two
But what I say is true
I'm a fan of Em
Since young I have been
Killshot was lit
Em's still fit
Still got it
But these petty jealousies feel beneath him!
Oh what am I saying?
Who am I to judge
This is just a message I send to my few fans because
I want you to know that what I do isn't for the fame
So I can always claim
I'm great, exude myself from the blame
But I do it because there are those out there taken advantage of
Because they're abused by those in a social position above
Their own
The power always goes to those who have the throne
It's known
I know
That there isn't much I can do
But I refused to be thrown
I need to let you all know
That it's our job to give hope
Rap God, Rap Devil
Screw that, I'm the rap Gremlin
Go get 'em
Got a grin
You fed my rage
Now I'm grim
Rap God, Rap Devil
Screw that, I'm the rap Gremlin
Go get 'em
Got a grin
You fed my rage
Now I'm grim
This I hate
Like I've said before, everything fake
Those who make
It sound like they have too much on their plate
My life isn't crap I admit and I thank that struggling hasn't so far been my fate
Hope God accepts me through Heaven's gates
But until that day
Lord help all those of them
Send a message of hope to those who don't fit in
Those who have to eat meals from a tin
Those with years of human abuse — no matter what the abuse may be — thrown at their skin
You feed the flames of my angry rage?
Mock those who haven't had a chance to grin?
This is a shoutout for the hurt
Please don't make me turn into a Rap Gremlin
