Riot
[Intro]
Am I crazy?
Am I insane?
[Verse 1]
What the fuck was I thinkin'?
I was up, but now I'm sinkin'
I was tall, but now I'm shrinkin'
I've considered thoughts of killin'
I've considered bein' a villain
I've considered poppin' a pill in
Gettin' on top of the stage and crowd jumpin'
But nobody catches me
And it's my body they're dumpin'
Do I really wanna go through with this?
What the science of it or thank the Lord?
Were there signs of it that I ignored?
Inside I'm losing my damn mind
And we need to start a riot
Like the symbiote
Like a symbol wrote in a flood of calligraphy
Like I dipped my pen in blood consistently
All this build up got you confused
Like Carlton Drake we can talk about views
We can eat people's brains and let our mental's fuse
But you can't handle mine, so my mind you'll lose
I don't mind these fools, I use 'em for food
I eat you whole, I'll eat your ho
I think I might be turnin' into a cannibal
Like my man Hannibal, no Burress
Maybe I'm Icarus mixed with an animal
You're never getting released
But I can be theatrical
I'm so far gone that I'm never comin' back
Take a sabbatical
Disappear y'all just triplets
Like the Musketeers
Disappearin'
Disrespect their creators and the pioneers
And so many rappers, the fake ones I'm dissin'
You're gonna dead 'em so hard they're gonna
Be missin' from here
Hit 'em with the ether and throw the meat cleaver
Get 'em with a seizure, yo
Give 'em a fever
Get in front of them and down their pain relievers
I'm an overachiever call me Julius Caesar
I've been betrayed, stabbed in the back
Bleed to death and I'm lookin' ghoulish
The people that did that are looking hella foolish, yo
You’re coming at me with disses
Think they went over my head?
No, I’m not that fuckin' stupid
Here’s the words that they said
"You’re about to become toothless
When I let loose and go ruthless
Take it easy, you bonehead, you doofus
If we were your fans, you’d lose us
With the wordplay, you are useless
To the world (aye), you are juiceless
What’s a Joyner, when you’re not Lucas
When you’re confused, but not Confucius
You’re not a poet, a rapper or friend
You need to slow it, shut up and ride trends"
So they come up to me with the negativity
Said I’ll never be my idols, you know?
[A Cappella]
The Juices and Joyners
The Ems and the Techs
The Kalikos and the Waynes
The 2Pacs and the Biggies
The Andres and the Big Bois
The Dr. Dres and the Ice Cubes
The Kendricks and the J. Coles
The Mac Millers and the Tylers
The Earls and Syds
The Pusha-Ts and the Jigga-Zs
The Nas’ and the Hopsins
The Logics and the Royce Da 5’9s
The PRhymes and the Sign of the Times
The Rockys and the Fergs
The 50’s and the Games
The Xs and the Lil Peeps
The Denzels and the Challenges
The FJPs and the YKJs
[Verse 2]
Those are the people that need to be leadin'
Those are the people that make the beats start bleedin'
Those are the people that keep the beats from breathin'
I'm not gonna walk up to a mumble rapper and break breads
I'm gonna take a wrench and we rumble and break heads
You look at me and could never hold a candle
And that wrench I had before is now nothin' but a handle
Find a bigger headline: NøtInVain in a new scandal
But meet the deadline or you'll find a new rope to dangle from
Look at these guns, they're not props
Yo, Challenge is hangin' onto the rope
And he drops you and you hit the ground
And we go down and rob you
Am I crazy?
Am I insane?
