[Intro]
We all know him
R8eDR
So tell me
What is good enough for you people?
What is good enough for you?
What do you want from me?
I've been asking myself that for a long time now
Somewhere along the way it all went wrong
And I'm trying to figure out why
Why?
[Hook]
Yo
I used to burn it down but they ain’t appreciate the fire
Now I’m back to make them bow at the feet of they messiah
Thru these speakers how I’m preaching to the choir
After all these sacrifices it’s the time for me to rеach what I desire
The brass ring is thе beacon, I’ve completed what’s required
Had to seek to be inspired just to heat up on these liars
Gained knowledge from the lessons of the higher
So is it a messiah complex or the complex of a messiah
[Verse 1]
As time goes by, an eye for an eye
Anything you ever heard of my demise was a lie
Found the drive, motivated and revived, just to rise
I’m respected as the guy off the vibes I provide
Got reborn as a messiah, I ain’t study for the title
I’m an idol, it’s nothing to make your buddy a disciple
And I always had the heart to wreck
How I’m building masterpieces hitting every mark with all this art I’m like a architect
You feel the soul in my speech like a preacher’s verse
In the booth curb stomping beats till my sneakers burst
Flowing with the reach of Dirk, tried to fade away in peace
But it wasn’t sittin' right now so I’m back releasing work
It’s R8eD, I made my name up in the genre
So if I’m not the king then I’m aiming for his armor
He a goner, 'cause it time I got back where I belong
Been then best a wrasslerapping on these songs all along
[Hook]
I used to burn it down but they ain’t appreciate the fire
Now I’m back to make them bow at the feet of they messiah
Thru these speakers how I’m preaching to the choir
After all these sacrifices it’s the time for me to reach what I desire
The brass ring is the beacon, I’ve completed what’s required
Had to seek to be inspired just to heat up on these liars
Gained knowledge from the lessons of the higher
So is it a messiah complex or the complex of a messiah
[Verse 2]
R8eD, who iller? Gorilla pressing quotes
Twisting the glue up in a session, let me catch the smoke
Striving for perfection, not accepting close
So I’m executing like Bret, straight finessin' from the second rope
Wrote this whole record with a Seth approach
Modified the method up, adding to the effort after checking notes
Knowing clever boast, bring the cheddar close
So I transformed into the man, like Becky in a leather coat
Flair flows, second nature figure 8 it
I'm a wrestling bar role model and n***** hate it
R8ed heading to the banks, bring the boss in
A horseman who theories gon' last a lot longer than Austin's
Cause I was on pause now I’m back for all the portions
Trynna put some plaques up on the wall I ain’t rappin' for applause man
I’m just wrecking it superb
To finally get the respect that I deserve and they heard
[Hook]
I used to burn it down but they ain’t appreciate the fire
Now I’m back to make them bow at the feet of they messiah
Thru these speakers how I’m preaching to the choir
After all these sacrifices it’s the time for me to reach what I desire
The brass ring is the beacon, I’ve completed what’s required
Had to seek to be inspired just to heat up on these liars
Gained knowledge from the lessons of the higher
So is it a messiah complex or the complex of a messiah
[Outro]
Yeah man
Surprised?
I don't know about none of that other shit, man
I'm just here to make my daughter proud, man that's it
R8eD
I know what it is
