(i don't stay) (i don't prey) this how it goes (i don't break) yeah (sing this song everyday) ey

i be up on top lurking got no job, but it's working got no love, but it's worth it i don't wanna be a servant sitting on top observing looking at people swerving i don't wanna make ‘em nervous living above the surface come back down when they caught me (caught me) press me down like a copy (copy) swinging on me like rocky (rocky) none of that shit gon' stop me (stop me) living on top i'm scary (scary) i know i make 'em wary (wary) harmless like a canary (canary) but they just want me burried (burried)

they don't want me to get older (i don't stay) so i keep on growing colder (i don't prey) put my hands up on my shoulders (i don't break) i'm just bracing so it won't hurt

looking around i see nobody that's friendly (yeah) took so many insults they cannot offend me (they don't) i fought back, but i don't think that really helped me (nah) took one swing that's plenty (yeah) (took one swing that's plenty) (ey) 'cause i know nobody's watching my back (no) talking 'bout me and they twisting the facts (yeah) i know they waiting for me to attack (yeah) looking below and i see all the traps (ey) but i stay out the spotlight (spotlight) walking on top the faultline (faultline) don't respond to a callsign (callsign) making up my own plotline (plotline)

yeah, i wanna live in silence i'm not prone to violence they looking at me violen 'cause i am not compliant screaming at me in distance nobody wants to listen looking at my position but they can't see my vision climb back up and i move out (move out) fuck 'em all i just groove out (groove out) but i can hear a few shouts (few shouts) police come like a shootout (shootout) miscommunication ('cation) everyone lacking patients (patience) i gotta live evasive (evasive) defend myself, abrasive (abrasive)

they don't want me to get older (i don't stay) so i keep on growing colder (i don't prey) put my hands up on my shoulders (i don't break) i'm just bracing so it won't hurt

looking around i see nobody that's friendly (yeah) took so many insults they cannot offend me (they don't) i fought back, but i don't think that really helped me (nah) took one swing that's plenty (yeah) (took one swing that's plenty) (ey) 'cause i know nobody's watching my back (no) talking 'bout me and they twisting the facts (yeah) i know they waiting for me to attack (yeah) looking below and i see all the traps (ey) but i stay out the spotlight (spotlight) walking on top the faultline (faultline) don't respond to a callsign (callsign) making up my own plotline (plotline)
