[Pre-Chorus]
Uh, yuh, manifestation of fears, yuh
Relief after all of the tears, yuh
Peace be stayin’ with me
But I’m afraid that the mayhem miss me
If I stay in the past too long
My future self just may resent me (what?)
So start repenting (yuh, ayy)
[Chorus]
(Wake me up) When the simulation’s over
(Sinking stuck) Is my reputation bolder?
(Keep this goin’) I need to re-stitch up my better half
(Leave me scorned) My desire for balance is Etterath
[Verse 1]
My strength building like Kaioken
Bust out my tank, this shark took his vitamins
Every day, I struggle reciting this page
So watch what you say (watch it)
Knock off your crown if you movin’ fairly odd
The wand, it [Wanda] go, “Poof” and you’re gone
Spit it so raw [Ra] that the roof to the wall
Looks like I’m fluent in Hieroglyphics (ahh)
You should keep movin’ and mind your business
I’m usually cool but the mic is itchin’
I’ll cut your time shorter like King Crimson
Fight for the right for my decision
To take the whole game, leave it replenished
My name and this fame, make ‘em cemented
Take us some acres where we livin’
The Jakes and the fakers can’t see in it
I’m livin’ it (yuh), manifestation of my desires
Can we replace it with high and fires?
How ‘bout a basement where I’ll reside? It’s called the mind
I can’t fix this shit (uh uh), therapy helpin’ me best (yuh)
Terribly stressed and depressed
I need care, I need rest
Merrily settlin’ my debts, where to be settlin’ next?
Tearin’ out hair that is left
Fair to be questionin’ death, bored to death in a sense
If everything went to the head, then I’d see that I settled for less
For way less than what I was owed, a paycheck and a quiet home (yeah)
May quest for a brighter soul, ‘cuz I’m way tense for a five-year old (damn)
[Pre-Chorus]
Uh, yuh, manifestation of fears, yuh
Relief after all of the tears, yuh (the tears, yuh)
Peace be stayin’ with me
But I’m afraid that the mayhem miss me (it miss me)
If I stay in the past too long
My future self just may resent me (he does)
So start repenti-
[Verse 2]
Wait, I swear don’t blame you for that
I blame the demons that are too attached
That cursed you all throughout the past
Mental health declining fast, so I’ll sell myself to find some cash
Not defining by my past, findin’ my alignment that
Guides my ascension, she’s my Valkyrie (she is)
Baptized in her honey (I am), she’s proud of me (she is)
I’m bound to be the greatest since you cowards peaked (I am)
Your boundaries ain’t bounding me
They’re barely holding you out from me (yuh)
I’m snappin’ them bitches like rubber bands
Bouncin’ back, oh so gracefully (pyoom)
So gracefully, what would you take from me?
A tank full of pearls, ain’t this your favorite bling?
If I gave you the world, would you wait for three?
They faked the referrals, this game’s a waste to me
I hold all the cards in both of my hands
The label execs walkin’ up to the table (pullin’ up)
I sold them my heart, they said, “No chance”
So I’ll just be stockin’ my paper (stack it)
Then maybe you Jokers will lane-switch (skrrt)
And flip like you lookin’ for Aces (flip)
I’ll skip to the point like I’m anxious
You basic, nameless, tasteless, save it (ayy, ayy)
[Bridge]
Now I’mma run through my victory lap
Scowl, I’m gunnin’ you centuries back
Left all my memories in the past
Effort leaves emptiness, Etterath
Now I’mma run through my victory lap
Scowl, I’m gunnin’ you centuries back
Left all my memories in the past
Effort leaves emptiness, Etterath
[Instrumental Buildup]
[Pre-Chorus]
Uh, yuh, manifestation of fears, yuh
Relief after all of the tears, yuh
Peace be stayin’ with me
But I’m afraid that the mayhem miss me
If I stay in the past too long
My future self just may resent me
So start repenting
[Chorus]
(Wake me up) When the simulation’s over
(Sinking stuck) Is my reputation bolder?
(Keep this goin’) I need to re-stitch up my better half
(Leave me scorned) My desire for balance is Etterath
[Chorus]
(Wake me up) When the simulation’s over
(Sinking stuck) Is my reputation bolder?
(Keep this goin’) I need to re-stitch up my better half
(Leave me scorned) My desire for balance is Etterath
