1984 Lyrics by Joey Vantes

2021

[Intro]
Legend
[Chorus: Joey Vantes]
Simmer down, shake me down, don't want me around (Simmer down)
I call it like it is, who got the scales now? (Yeah)
Circle 'round my freedom, all these demons loud (Very loud)
Tell me how to think and I'ma double down
Simmer down, shake me down, don't want me around
I call it like it is, who got the scales now? (Yeah)
Circle 'round my freedom, all these demons loud (Woo)
Tell me how to think and I'ma double down
[Verse 1: Joey Vantes]
Caught me in a slide, I'm burnin' propaganda
Rippin' off the packet, see the sickle hammer
We've been beatin' odds like we playin' 'bama
Landline for me only like we stay at grandma's
I know they wanna get me in a room with a whole platoon
They don't like the tunes I been playin'
They wanna break us down, take our dignity
I've been savin' stars, got the scars from the enemy
I ain't a MAGA rapper, I don't do it for a pastor
It's a twisted global system, now they tryna force the facts
Freedom always been my passion, why they puttin' us in classes?
Feedin' each one of us different, they divide us, then they laughin'
[Chorus: Joey Vantes]
Simmer down, shake me down, don't want me around (Simmer down)
I call it like it is, who got the scales now? (Yeah)
Circle 'round my freedom, all these demons loud (Very loud)
Tell me how to think and I'ma double down
Simmer down, shake me down, don't want me around
I call it like it is, who got the scales now? (Yeah)
Red dot on my feet, they draw a circle 'round (Woo)
Tell me how to think and I'ma double down
[Verse 2: Joey Vantes]
Interrogation, lies I'm facin', fists hit places
Blood I'm tastin', fall down, get back up
I gotta stay patient, now they sinnin' to stop all the running hit
Said if I don't renounce, then my family gettin' lit
Meant aside, now you gotta pick a side
If you really don't conform, they gon' try to take your life
There's no such thing as your rise, it's a rollin' of a dice
I already chose a lane, it ain't left and it ain't right
[Bridge: Billy Graham]
Pilate asked the question:
"What is truth?
Facts are not necessarily the truth
What is truth?"
[Chorus: Joey Vantes]
Simmer down, shake me down, don't want me around (Simmer down)
I call it like it is, who got the scales now? (Yeah)
Circle 'round my freedom, all these demons loud (Very loud)
Tell me how to think and I'ma double down
Simmer down, shake me down, don't want me around
I call it like it is, who got the scales now? (Yeah)
Red dot on my feet, they draw a circle 'round (Woo)
Tell me how to think and I'ma—
[Outro: Billy Graham]
Now the Bible speaking of the Antichrist
Says in Second Thessalonians 2:
"This lawless man is produced by the Spirit of evil
And armed with all the force
Wonders and science and falsehood can devise
To those to come in this dying world
He will come with evil's undiluted power to deceive
For they have refused the love of truth
Which could've saved them
These men deliberately forfeited the truth of God and accepted a lie
God therefore handed them over to disgraceful passions
They see truth as a lie and a lie as the truth
And they make money
Power, sex experience and other things
Their goal and their gods
And accept the lies of the Devil
And many young people that are here tonight
Are accepting now the whispers of Satan in your ear
