[Intro] (Chorus in background)
Yeah, It's been a ride...
I guess I had to go to that place, to get to this one.
Now some of you might still be in that place, trying to get out.
If you're trying to get out, just follow me...
I'll get you there

[Verse 1]
You can try and read my lyrics off
of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take the sting out
these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop
me from causing mayhem

When I say 'em or do something
I do it, I don't give a damn
What you think, I'm doing this for me,
so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it's gassed up,
if a thing's stopping me
I'mma be what I set out to be,
without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me
I'm tearing down your balcony

No if ands or buts
don't try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album
he's still shitting and
Whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or
he shit's his bowels out of him

Whichever comes first,
for better or worse
He's married to the game,
like a "fuck you" for christmas
His gift is a curse,
forget the earth he's got the urge
to pull his dick from the dirt,
and fuck the whole universe

[Chorus]
I'm not afraid (not afraid)
to take a stand (take a stand)
everybody (everybody)
come take my hand (come take my hand)

We'll walk this road together,
through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that,
you're not alone
Holla if you feel like
you've been down the same road

[Verse 2]
Okay quit playin' with the scissors and shit,
and cut the crap
I shouldn't have to rhyme these
words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap
You said you was king,
you lied through your teeth
For that fuck your feelings,
instead of getting crowned you're getting capped

And to the fans,
I'll never let you down again,
I'm back, I promise to never
go back on that promise, in fact
Let's be honest,
that last Relapse CD was "ehhhh"
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground

Relax, I ain't going back to that now
All I'm tryna say is get back,
click-clack BLAOW
Cause I ain't playin' around
There's a game called circle
and I don't know how
I'm way too up to back down
But I think I'm still trying to
figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out
but I guess I didn't
This fucking black cloud's
still follow's me around
but it's time to exercise
these demons these motherfuckers
are doing jumping jacks now!

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today,
I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'mma face my demons
I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
time to put my life back
together right now!

[Verse 3]
It was my decision to get clean,
I did it for me,
admittedly,
I probably did it subliminally
for you so I could come back
a brand new me,
you helped see me through
And don't even realise what you did,
believe me you

I been through the ringer,
but they can do little
to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye,
I feel like the king of/ my world,

haters can make like bees
with no stingers and drop dead
No more beef lingers,
no more drama from now on,
I promise to focus soley on
handling my responsibility's as a father

So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof
like my daughters and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle only

Cause the way I feel,
I'm strong enough to go to the club
or the corner pub
and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar,
I shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars,
I feel amazing and I'm not..

[Chorus]
