[B] Hey, yo, [A] [C] this song is for anyone.
[A] Fuck it.
[Ab] Shut up and listen.
[A]
I'm not the artist that's [B] gonna turn into a puppet.
I've been myself in the [A] darkness and I'm the same way in public.
Guess [C] I'm a target cause they aren't in charge of what they are stuck with.
I wear [Ab] my heart on my arm and I [Am] spill the guts on my stomach.
All of a sudden I'm hunted cause [Bm] they don't like what I said.
But only dummies would choose to [A] follow a wolf who is dead.
[C] Tear the flesh off of your bones and [D] keep it gross in my head.
You [Bm] looking just like a clown and [A] I'm the bull in the pen.
And the labels aren't able to [Bm] get in touch when they call.
Cause I know all the A&R's and [A] I'm ignoring them all.
Don't [C] need a manager to help me, [A] I keep blowing them off.
And [Ab] all the rappers [F] who doubted me, I've been proven them wrong.
They wanna give me a record deal [C] to control me efficiently.
[B] Cause as long as I ain't signed I'll [E] keep exposing the industry.
[D] And they know if I put my name on that line it's [Bm] a victory.
Then they'll censor my message and [A] try to rewrite my history.
I don't need the publicity, [B] I need all of my friends to know.
If I disappear [A] tomorrow it's because of them.
[C] They don't want you in power, they [A] want you willing to spend.
All [Ab] of your money on products so [A] that they get that percent.
But I'm a different [Am] breed of person, [B] liquor seeping through the surface.
Try and cut me in, I'll drink the [A] blood, the stitches leak in bourbon.
[C] And my fans are all amazing, I officially deserve [C] them.
I'll effectively eliminate and burn who tries to hurt [A] them.
This my element, the weapons [B] and the skeletons are evidence.
Of everything I did, [A] well I defended what was delicate.
Machete blades and severed heads and human teeth on [Gb] necklaces.
Electric fences humming through the night, well I'm [A] confessing that I am.
[B] Whatever you say I am, it makes no difference [C] to me if you won't shake my hand.
I got my freedom of speech [A] and I will make my stand.
[Ab] I will never take a seat [A] to please the mainstream plan.
Cause I am whatever [B] you say I am.
It doesn't matter to me [A] if you can't see my plan.
[C] You are my gasoline [A] and I'm the flame you fan.
[Ab] I don't know [A] it's just the way I am.
I'm just a person [B] who ain't afraid of the scrutiny.
I'm not scared of the truth [A] and so through that there's immunity.
[C] And my dreams aren't only something [A] I experience [Ab] lucidly.
They are what I've accomplished [A] and what I'm about to do musically.
Save the cars and the jewelry, [B] you know I can't be bothered.
With all that superficial [C] garbage I'm an actual artist.
I only do this for therapy, [A] not to fill up my wallet.
[Ab] They pop in Xanax to party, [Am] a party's not what I call it.
I call it drug addicted [Bm] rappers if I'm perfectly honest.
I call it [F] numbing out the pain and be a chain to the bottom.
[C] Of a ship that's sinking quick [A] inside a promethazine bottle.
[Ab] They say it's lit but it's really [A] just a sickness that they swallow.
When they can't mold me they can't [Bm] change me.
Cause the only is to stay me and I'll stay me.
Until they [C] hate me or the press and drive me crazy.
I've been medicated, [A] hated myself and couldn't escape [Gb] it.
Now I face what I'm afraid [A] of, embrace all the [Am] confrontation.
While my name keep coming [B] up in all the same conversations.
He's pathetic, he's a racist, [A] he's a vulture man I hate [C] him.
I don't get it, he's so [A] basic and the culture should replace [B] him.
I'ma take him off the playlist and not just [A] laugh while they complain.
Cause I am [B] whatever you say I am.
It makes no difference to me [Am] if you won't shake my hand.
[C] I got my freedom of speech [A] and I won't make my [Ab] stand.
I won't ever take a [A] seat to please the mainstream plan.
Cause I am [B] whatever you say I am.
It doesn't matter to me [A] if you can't see my [C] plan.
You are my gasoline [A] and I'm the flame you [Ab] fan.
I don't [A] know it's just the way I am.
