(Verse 1)
Pop a pill, crack a grin, Marshall’s gone again
Shady’s on the page, scribblin’ chaos with a pen
Ink bleeds like blood, every rhyme’s a sin
Industry’s a buffet, I’m the predator within
Microphone my scalpel, beat my operating table
Slice through weak MCs, call it surgical fable
I laugh at the fame, while I sip on the unstable
Every line’s a bullet, every verse a label
(Chorus)
Needle & ink, I’m addicted to the pain
Shady’s back on the track, twistin’ minds again
Rap’s my drug, the beat’s my vein
Relapsed and alive, in the darkness I reign
(Verse 2)
I see the industry puppets, strings cut, they fall
Lil’ wannabes screamin’, “Shady, you’re insane, y’all,”
I mix satire with horror, make a carnival brawl
I’m the clown with the crown, I’m the nightmare call
Pills in my pocket, rhymes in my brain
Every line’s a migraine, every bar a chain
I spit venom-laced jokes, pleasure mixed with pain
Shady’s resurrection, and the world’s my domain
(Chorus)
Needle & ink, I’m addicted to the pain
Shady’s back on the track, twistin’ minds again
Rap’s my drug, the beat’s my vein
Relapsed and alive, in the darkness I reign
(Bridge)
Ink drips like blood, my notebook’s a crime scene
Every rhyme a scalpel, every punchline obscene
They thought I was gone, but I’m back, unseen
Shady’s back with the madness, the sickest ever seen
(Outro)
So take a seat, strap in, welcome to my clinic
Needle & ink, my therapy’s infinite
Relapse part two, dark, twisted, and cynic
Shady’s alive, contagious, and prolific
