the floor is lava. Lyrics

I'm running from something imaginary, the floor is lava

Anything to keep me from going under

A fire lit in me, and boy, did it fucking burn

And even though my anger hurt, I still didn't fucking learn

I pushed it to the side, but it won't wait its fucking turn

I think I want to hurt somebody

I feel so sick today, I think I want to hurt somebody

Let this MC take you on a ride

The fear is all consuming

So I think I want to hurt somebody

My body laid stripped and abused

I felt I could relate to Jesus on the crucifix

But this time, we're beyond absolution

How cruel! How cruel! How fucking devious are you

You don't want me to get even

My body is tainted, my body is soiled, my body isn't mine

No, you don't want me to get even, nigga

A body for a body, a body for a body

I think I want to hurt somebody

Me and my city swimming in denial

Watching bodies pile, faux necrophiles

I'm haunted by the ghosts of memories I can't push back

An anger I can't distract, the fear that shapes my tasks

You can't wash your hands of this

The past is atrophic

Can't have a plan for this, it's cancerous

The hate that's been planted in this class of bastards

Fear's a tool for pandering, so now

I am the fate now, I am the one

I am the sword now, I am the gun

I am the God now, I am the sun

I am the sword now, I am the, I am the

I am the fate now, I am the one

I am the sword now, I am the gun

I am the God now, I am the sun

I am the sword now, I am the, I am the

Wait until I break, fate will take it's toll

The hate in the soul makes a gaping hole

The weight of the pole abates when faced with those past their breaking point

Pretending it makes them whole

It's a story as old as time

One wants revenge, and so they pull out a shotty

You know what they say, where there's a will, there's a body

One of us will die here, nobody can stop me

Imma make you jump like the floor is lava

Got the heat tucked, dance the mamba, banner homage

Snakes want beef, it's on me to mop them

See, the only things that we passed down are ash and honor

They say you gotta keep the piece to keep the peace

At least it seems the cycle will proceed with me

We feed the beast, the beast is free

The streets is screaming

Looking for a truth they refuse to see, my g

Fetishized the pain so it's something I could cope with

I done used hoes just to know what control is

Looking for catharsis, I done broke bridges

I done broke noses, I done had visions

In an empty hallway, I done seen ghosts sit

I done told god I ain't repenting for no sin

I done got desperate, I done tried potions

I done fell victim, ego hypnosis

Imma need to catch a body to quell this anger stagnant in me

Yo, I think I wanna hurt somebody

I'm owed a debt, and you're about to pay my father's sins

Since you think this shit's a game, let the games begin

I done put my body through a life of abuse

So I used dualism as an excuse

At the end of the day, I mislead you tryna duck the truth

I am what you must rebuke

I am the fate now, I am the one

I am the sword now, I am the gun

I am the God now, I am the sun

I am the sword now, I am the, I am the

I am the fate now, I am the one

I am the sword now, I am the gun

I am the God now, I am the sun

I am the sword now, I am the, I am the

Thinking about what happened before got me past tense

Like some old vinyl, Imma repress

Fist clenched, bells toll, ain't no recess

Wincing when somebody dies, thinking Imma be next

Presenting the severed head of a king, yelling, this is the real Louis

I'm in my bag, you niggas is meals to me

I turn emcess into chop suey, I'm cut throat

I can make a good broth out of all our closet bones

Y'all gonna need to leave another seat for my ego

Don't get too close, you'll get heat stroke

Elite prose, D is a cheat code

Delete those beneath me

A milli has tried defeat me

Every attempt increasingly feeble

The way I battle the truth, I feel like Kobe

The self collapses inwards

The relapse is imminent

The attacks is intimate

We all relate to the myth of sisyphus

I am the fate now, I am the one

I am the sword now, I am the gun

I am the God now, I am the sun

I am the sword now, I am the, I am the

I am the fate now, I am the one

I am the sword now, I am the gun

I am the God now, I am the sun

I am the sword now, I am the, I am the

I ain't bartering

Too many rapists in this game that we're harboring

Nobody here is sovereign

But I get it, nothing is harder than burying heroes, it's bothersome

You start to think of what it says about you

You know they say, it takes a village

Nobody's down for consequences, but loves a public lynching

We in the streets be penny pinching, we can't pay for what we've done

Down joy road is a river of blood

How many of us accepted a darker fate because that's just how it was

The nature of humanity is adaptation, this perception is a byproduct of cowardice

Of course, you can't be to blame

It's the world that's insane, you're just a player in this game

What a shame, when one fails to assess the self through examples that are hyperbolic

Granted one's worth as at least we're not them

The democratic solution

The black household demands a philosophical Copernican revolution

As we slowly spin the vinyl back

Brooding, brooding

I am the fate now, I am the one

I am the sword now, I am the gun

I am the God now, I am the sun

I am the sword now

I am the fate now, I am the one

I am the sword now, I am the gun

I am the God now, I am the sun

I am the sword now
