  • Nowadays, people are too afraid
    'Cause saying what's on your mind's like stepping on a landmine
    Nowadays, people have gotten worse
    I'm thinking we need to purge, 'cause the world's in a decline
    Obsessed, everybody is stressed
    Everybody's a slave, everybody's oppressed
    Like nowadays, people are too afraid
    Of saying what's on your mind 'cause the world's in a flatline

    Yeah, they wanna call me a nuisance
    Just because I'm not afraid of giving my two cents, it's stupid
    They try to tell me I'm ruthless
    'Cause I respond back to all the rudeness you spit, it's abusive
    I never claimed to be a rapper, you did
    I never woke up and chose violence, it's useless
    Homie, if the shoe fits, then prove it
    You do a lot of talking, but you're not gonna do shit
    My fuse lit, you just made my shit to-do list
    When you push me past the point of no return, I'm ruthless
    Like, "Ooh, shit," I'm the Exorcist of music
    'Cause I got so many fucking heads spinning, it's stupid
    Like who's this?
    Bitch, I'm the one you excluded
    You wanna talk about equality, but I'm not included
    I think it's funny and ironic, and it's pretty amusing
    You proved my whole point by this chorus I'm doing, it's like

    Nowadays, people are too afraid
    'Cause saying what's on your mind's like stepping on a landmine
    Nowadays, people have gotten worse
    I'm thinking we need to purge, 'cause the world's in a decline
    Obsessed, everybody is stressed
    Everybody's a slave, everybody's oppressed
    Like nowadays, people are too afraid
    Of saying what's on your mind 'cause the world's in a flatline

    And while we're on the subject of this
    I got a couple things I wanna get off of my chest
    I don't mind when a band sees another success and gets inspired
    It's the copying I cannot respect
    And you can go to my label, my director, my producer
    But you'll never get that magic at the level I do it
    You motherfuckers keep on actin' like I never influenced an entire generation
    I'm the antithesis to it
    You went from rock to rap, but I did that first
    You went from rap back to rock 'cause the rap didn't work, that's worse
    You're acting like you never heard of me, homie
    But everybody that I know truly knows you're bologna
    And people throwin' accusations at me, knowin' it's phony
    Just to get a reaction out me 'cause they're bored and they're lonely
    If only I could've told what I know, being forty
    To the younger me, then this would've been a different story because

    Nowadays, people are too afraid
    'Cause saying what's on your mind's like stepping on a landmine
    Nowadays, people have gotten worse
    I'm thinking we need to purge, 'cause the world's in a decline
    Obsessed, everybody is stressed
    Everybody's a slave, everybody's oppressed
    Like nowadays, people are too afraid
    Of saying what's on your mind 'cause the world's in a flatline

    Suicidal thoughts got you tyin' knots
    Got my rivals in denial 'til their fuckin' vitals stop
    There ain't a single person on this fuckin' planet that can top
    What I'm doin' with this music, I'm just waitin' for the drop, like

    I, I'm just waitin' for that drop
    Well, I wish a motherfucker would tell me when to stop
    My tunnel vision's got me feelin' like I'm in a prison
    Walls are closin' in on me and I'm sick and tired of livin' in it
    Ha, but every minute that I'm livin's like a mission
    I'll admit it, but I'm grateful for that shit I'm given
    Ha, 'cause it turned me to a monster
    I just keep on getting stronger, I'm not waiting any longer
    Either conquer every genre like I'm Genghis Khan or chop you like a helicopter
    Into sixty pieces like I'm Jeffrey Dahmer

    I'm goin' insane
    There's somethin' that's wrong with my brain (brain, no)
    I'm colder than a frozen lake (damn)
    Death is a heartbeat away
    Don't take advice from that motherfuckin' antichrist
    Back down, you don't wanna see the show (show)
    Bloodbath 'cause you reaping what you sow (sow)
    Think you know me, I promise you don't (no, no)
    Step up, motherfucker, let's go (ha, ha, woo)
    And I know that you don't want the smoke (ghost)
    Fuck around, end up a ghost (ghost)
    Thinkin' you know me, you don't (don't)
    Fuck out my face and you won't (won't) Writer/s: Ronnie Radke
