Control Lyrics

Everyone's afraid of domination

Fighting all the people that'll take their agency

Threaten all you like, I'm content in my ways

It's an abomination, grabbing control like a dictatorship

And I can't hang with this

I'm powerless to change opinion

I pack conviction in my message

I bet you'll say it's evident

That you yourself are correct

And you're fighting your best

But this ain't a competition of strength

It's a test of endurance

I'm sure it's hard for you to admit

But even if I gaslight, you'll prefer a fire to my wit

But can I do it? I'm burnt out and dreading shit

Work has 30 of my waking hours

And the rest is spent preparing to come back again

What kinda life is that?

18, no school, 9k savings and multiple career dreams

How can I be working to the bone just doing the same thing

I love my people, and I don't wanna leave

But I don't people please

I need to do it for myself

Call me selfish, why not

Blame your extra hours on my burning bod

I can't live off a minimum job

So I'll find a better one

And in two weeks I'll be gone

Fighting for control

I got too much in my notes

Too much in my jokes

Too much hurry in my toes

Boundary as a moat

Foundry of a folk

Towering my notes

Music is my own

Chaka heard my tone

No one ever knows

What I wanna tote

What I wanna say

Wakin every day

Just to put a smile on my face

Lying in my wait

Saying it's okay

Knowing that I hate

Knowing that I pray

Knowing that I wanna burn a hole in the wall

Yet I still stand tall

Backed up into a fall

Carried out into a hall

Don't ask me who I wanna call

I spit the shit raw

And I'm hurting in my jaw

I know what I saw

I know what I meant

Don't fight when I try to vent

Actin like I'm Clark Kent

Bitch, I could be Superman!

Treat me with respect

I don't wanna let you think

That I wasn't ever on the brink

This close to stunning you

Reload the gun on you

Click, click, blow! On you

Onomato

Domo arigato, like Mr. Roboto

It went beyond my control

This is what I wrote

I was about to do the job that nobody wanted to

So now say thank you!

Bow, say thank you!

This is my true identity

I never needed to see you as an enemy

Better me than you

You were actin like a fool

You was about to get a tool

Pool blood on your new floor, boom!
