I’m about to kick it all off with a punchline, An underhook, headbutt to the gut, spin you back, A lariat 'n' I'm kickin’ shit off with a clothesline, A Rainmaker, a cloud burster, a Storm Breaker, I'm the decimator, devastator, Call me the decapitator of gods, I mix Onyx ‘n’ Slipknot, bringin' strong style to the hip hop, Give me your best shot, you ain't got, what I got, I'm so sick I make the beat rot, My flows writhe like maggots, They're growin’ phatter, I'm a damaged little addict, I spit upon the platter, And my eyes see madness in eyes that wish they had this... This gift with the pen 'n' this power, Did you ever consider how many hours? If 10,000 is a genius, then a lifetime is a master, And I'm minin' the lines, I'm minin' 'em out of my mind Step the fuck back, step the fuck aside, make way for the mastermind, F to the M to the A, from the 12 to the Gage, Let me take-a-take-a step back, the demon wants his mic back, Somethin' very wicked comes this way, Comes this way… X to the I to the I, I am ‘n’ I’m the next in line to admire my ire, And I am standin’ defiant, kept to the incline now everybody take a step back, step back, And admire the image, I'm dyin’ to hear it, Still got a message through despite the interference, The orchestrator, force of nature, Created the melt down that caused the crater, yet greater, I'm unorthodox, tryna hide the two horns I got, This deformed form man everythin’s a sore spot, I can stop time, break the hands of the clock, No hope of halting what you can’t conceive, So breathe with me, I’m grinnin’ gleefully, stood tappin’ eagerly, I’m too hungry ‘n’ I can hear your chatterin' teeth, Nothin’s beneath my feet, It's the sound's that carry me, Somethin' very wicked comes this way… All I needed was a catalyst, an aberration, an antagonist, I'm the cataclysm, I’ll just sit and watch my skill eclipse, Shield your eyes, from the skies, the corona, the abyss, I surmise, your demise, is nigh 'n' my advice, is hide, Infinite drive, the machine is gonna rise, I’m a silhouette by the light, If you could see what my mind shows me, You’d see why I’m gonna make the fuckers all crawl, I’ll make them topple 'n' fall, I’ll be their downfall, I’m the one they ignored, There's never ever gonna be anybody better, I'm placin’ letter after letter, the epicentre of terror, I’ll tie your tongue ‘n’ tear off your jaw, My fingers slip ‘n’ slide down your throat, The darkness within is beginnin’ to grow, The sky crumbles and falls... Pick it up, rip it up, Split the ground, spit da dust, spit da rust, Carve the cut ‘n’ open up, Rip it up, Split the ground, spit da dust, spit da rust, Carve the cut ‘n’ open up, The host is a-crawlin’, the warlord’s approachin’, my eyelids are closin', It's time for my turn, I got the urge to hurt the world, Teeth bared, prepare ‘n’ bare witness, Somethin’ very wicked comes this way, Somethin’ very wicked comes this way, The darkest, hardest, scarred up, heartless, artists, Comes this way, The darkest, hardest, scarred up, heartless, artists, Comes this way…

Hit the ground 'n' I'm out, Lips are stitched, I can't shout, My eyes are shut, no sound, My face has slipped all down, You better bow down, I announce now, Ground you all down with the sound now, I'm a, use my pen as a double-edged weapon, Paint with the ink, cut with the nib, flow 'n' ebb 'n' venom, Give me your crown, made of thorns now, Watch you all fall down to the floor now, You ain't walked on this warpath I've walked round, Count the blood 'n' the sweat, each ounce out, It begins, with a little grin 'n' a little ink, A little thought 'n' a little bit of what I think, I got a little thirst for adrenaline, I'm here to end this, witness the tempest, it begins, When I say jump you better erupt, If I fell you wouldn't help me up, In your eyes, you’ve denied all that I’ve become, I've conquered everythin’ that I said I would, I'm a lone figure facin' down the hordes, the storm rolls in 'n' the dust clouds form, I'll fashion a katana out of syllables, grammar 'n' my own grey matter, I will stand alone, As the blood rain starts to fall, I'll be racin' the lightnin' home, And as the moon rises, I'll climb a mountain of bodies 'n' I will place my throne, You better bow… You better bow, CHORUS Down, down, down, down, down, When you step in the way of FMA 'n' 12 Gage, You better know your place, You better sit back down, Down, down, down, down, down, Cos nothin’ will change, no, Nothin’ will break, no, Nothin’ to take, no, You better sit back, I confess, you can test the best competitors ‘Cos the best don't rest, I bet, you bet on us, Don't forget, you got far to climb to even come close to us, I hold the words ‘n’ the curse, in the palm of my hand, And I bet it'd feel good if you could've stood where I stand, I'm the ultima, ultimate, Fillin' up with sulfur that, erupts from my gut 'n' up, Upon my lips it brims 'n' drips from my grin, no givin' in, I'm the ulcer that, Rips, grows 'n' burns, Devourin' the hours ‘n’ eatin up every urge, One day the earth won't turn, Droppin’ an apocalypse, bringin’ in those wicked words, I was ponderin', my mind wanderin' 'n' I was wonderin', If I could rebegin, would I wander upon this path again, Or would I, pick the razor over the pen, yet again, Everythin' I've learnt is etched in bricks, Twist, rip, make every syllable fit, All four sides of my eye line sketched in invisible ink, Yet I remember every verb, every nerve ‘n’ every word, Every verse, every hurt, then hit reverse, On that hearse 'n' emerge from the dirt, First things first, didn’t it occur, That you better bow, You better bow... CHORUS Hit the ground 'n' I'm out, Lips are stitched, I can't shout, My eyes are shut, no sound, My face has slipped all down, Hit the ground 'n' I'm out, now, Lips are stitched, I can't shout, out, I'm causin’ sonic booms in the room every time I open my mouth 'n' let the sounds out, With the panic 'n' Manus, Artorius 'n' malice, Bringin' in the wicked, the wicked, I'm bringin' in the havoc, I don't mutter or stutter, I toughen up 'n' get, Better, better, better, better, better, better, better bow down, Hit the ground 'n' I'm out, now, Lips are stitched, I can't shout, out, ‘Cos nothing will change, no, Nothing will break, no, Nothing to take, no, You better sit back, CHORUS Hit the ground 'n' I'm out, now, Lips are stitched, I can't shout, out, I'm causing sonic booms in the room every time I open my mouth 'n' let the sounds out, Hit the ground 'n' I'm out, now, Lips are stitched, I can't shout, out, ‘Cos nothing will change, no, Nothing will break, no, Nothing to take, no, You better sit back,

Here I am, 38 years a man, 38 years to become this man, And one day I'll be nothin' but footprints in the sand, And I don't know if I can, Carry on standin' in a land, I'm damned, I keep offerin' you my hand, It took an entire lifespan to understand that, A million mistakes faced with a million billion trillion apologies, no difference makes, You 'n' I are not the same, none of our synapse fire the same, Segregate 'n' ignore the strange, there's too much change, I'm on the last draft of the last page, And it's almost over, time is tickin' out, Now I see the smiles for what they are, they're just crooked mouths, Speakin' empty words from empty heads, They're good at conjurin' nothin' 'n' castin' doubt, Looks like, I'm a have to live this one out, But now my body is failin' 'n' now my mind has begun ailin', And I'm sick of this sickness 'n' all the nightmares I've created, Dreams have faded, replaced with an emptiness that I hate, But in that emptiness there is hate, I remember its taste, I got one goal, that's to crush all those who oppose, Destroy them all with the flow of a dark soul evolved, If I got one flaw, it's that I can't quit on this road, I made my choice, silence my voice, this is all I live for I'll never stop, Since 11 never wanted to be normal, Now I'm 19 'n' rap has got a grip on me, Now every bully who pulled me apart, The pieces are collidin' 'n' ignitin' a spark, a fire in this dark heart, My dreams are not comprehended by dreamers, My dream is to have Reuben with a beamin' grin when I rap, Steppin' in force with a wit that can rip so, Takin' it back, breakin' the backs, I'm realignin' the planets so I can hop, skip 'n' jump to Uranus, And kick it, face it, the wordplay's just too far ahead, Seems to be more up 'n' down than a see-saw, This thesis leaves you in pieces, is he 19, Birds 'n' the bees man, I'm breezin' past it, I'm grafted from granite, Honestly the feud between me 'n' my mum, man dammit, A calamity happened to Callum 'n' Fi, 400 passed, now I gotta kick my own ass again, Amassed with Matt again, Guess I'm a bastard, time to find the right path again, I got one goal, that's to crush all those who oppose, Destroy them all with the flow of a dark soul evolved, If I got one flaw, it's that I can't quit on this road, I made my choice, silence my voice, this is all I live for I'll never stop, until I drop, Until my eyes roll back 'n' my body has begun to rot, I'll stop, when I drop, When my mind gives up 'n' the people have begun to watch,

I remember, I was reduced to nothin’, the words never softened, I remember bein’ secluded, sat in my room, a confused kid, I remember lookin’ down at my clenched fists, bruises form upon my skin, I seem vacant, but it’s frustration, it’s so hard to ignore, I remember hearin’ all the rumours, the half-truths, I remember feelin’ like an alien trapped in a cramped class room, I remember the way, they’d laugh at all the things that I’d say, and, I remember the way, I’d mistake a grin, to mean, a new friend, I’d hide away in my own world, To escape every one of their words, I never knew, that I deserved worth, It’s never long before the dream bursts, Then I hear that stomping up the hall way, to the door way, And I see that hand creep up on the door frame, There’s a silhouette armed with endless threats, and I can't look away, I'm big you’re small, is what you said to me, My eye line falls, I couldn’t breathe, What you saw was flawed, and you made me believe, I couldn’t stand tall, on my own two feet, And I’d scream and scream until my throat would bleed, It’s hard to speak through these gritted teeth, I’d do anything to numb the pain, I can’t hear the music through the pourin’ rain, I pretend that I'm far away, I pretend I’ve escaped this place, I pretend when I lay awake, I pretend that the dream never fades, When everybody sings, I try and sing along, But I’m always singing the words to the wrong song, Dancing to a different tune, I used to wish that I was just like you, Charismatic, Conversation comin’ automatic, Simple to fit in, no need to practise, at, Holdin’ eye contact, hidin’ scars, fightin’ panic, Smilin’ through sadness, tryin’ hard not to fall apart, I was afraid they’d hear the beatin’ of my heart, But now they hear the beat that’s beatin’ through my heart, I found a melody that’s helpin’ me, That’s flowin’ differently inside of me, And I’m singin’ all the way home, And now I stumble along, mumblin’ songs, With a stutterin’, mutterin’, fumblin’ tongue, On and on I go, I know that I won’t fall, I use the music to improve ‘n’ to prove you wrong, I spoke up n let the words out, I spoke out ‘n’ let the sounds from deep down out now, I’ve gone from coverin’ up, to recoverin’ now, Once I couldn’t pronounce, but now, I’m in command of those sounds, I’m big your small is what you said to me, I’m afraid, I’m not afraid, that I don’t believe, What you saw was your own flaws in me, you don’t see, You no longer matter to me, Your words ain’t what they used to be, I remember… It meant nothing to you but every night I cried, I remember trying to dry my eyes In the dark, I saw a light, Enough to blind my sight, In my mind I’d died, Now the sounds are alive, Hummin’ a melody tellin’ me that I can survive, I’m still standin’ in the aftermath, after you so it’s hard to deny, That I can, I believe, that I am Not alone, on my own, I can let the world know, That I can ‘n’ I will, rebuild, Scars never disappear but they heal, You can, you will, you are, Important, even if you don’t feel it, Or believe it, You can get through this, I believe it, ‘Cos I was stood right where you are,
