[English]

Yuh

Yuh

Uh

Woah

Wait, I'm coming

Throw my pain in the wishing well, I wish you well

Late night wanders, on a mission still

I ain't happy with my wisdom still

This band is tryna increase the skill

Hustle every time I'm called in like clockwork

Sweat and the tears, who gonna drop first?

Blood in the sand, I am the man

I will not lurk, wait

Nobody gon' faze me, nobody gon' push me

They treating the veteran like he a rookie

I'm turning the heat up, so let's get to cooking

They taking a risk like you playing a bookie

Mission control, I'm calling you out

Kicking down doors, I'm up in your house

Mission control while you ain't around

Morse code when you feeling in doubt

Pandemonium, I need it

Out of orbit, ain't a weakness

The pressure is real, they wanting to kill

But I ain't gon' let 'em achieve it

Pandemonium, I need it (I need it)

Out of orbit, ain't a weakness

The pressure is real, they wanting to kill

But I ain't gon' let 'em achieve it

Wait

I'm coming

I'm walking around with a Desert Eagle

Birdseye with a view from the top like an aerial

Born from the ground, I'm assessing your burial

Larry King toxic, inhaling the chemicals

I'm the soldier of Xanadu

Everything on point, I'm calling that decimal

Sounds of the bullets, I'm loving the decibels, wait

Who gon' tell me I am not emerging?

Like an ostrich, your head down up in the dirt

Yo, who's the bounty? I want all the perks

Yo, where's my bonus? I want all the perks

I been struggling, hustling, money to make

Through all the conditions, towards any state

My enemies, dog, is whatever it takes

Reward, the risk, no matter the stake

Nobody gon' faze me, nobody gon' push me

They treating the veteran like he a rookie

I'm turning the heat up, so let's get to cooking

They taking a risk like you playing a bookie

Mission control, I'm calling you out

Kicking down doors, I'm up in your house

Mission control while you ain't around

Morse code when you feeling in doubt

Pandemonium, I need it (I need it)

Out of orbit, ain't a weakness

The pressure is real, they wanting to kill

But I ain't gon' let 'em achieve it

Pandemonium, I need it (I need it)

Out of orbit, ain't a weakness

The pressure is real, they wanting to kill

But I ain't gon' let 'em achieve it
