[English]

Tarantula

Gang-gang, right from the stereo

Gargantuan

God damn, fit for a burial

A cannula

From my wrist, sick material

A chronically ill

Sound for your aerial

I'll just let go

There's a crack in my design

Like an echo

These thoughts replay in my mind

There's no safety

There's no rest

There's no sleep for the dead

And I hate these

Side effects that get left by the meds

I got the devil on my shoulder

And the weight might break my back

I'm losing my composure

And I might crack

[Yea-eh-eh-eh]

And so they say that my persona

[Has a tendency to] come so undone then

[Then my identity is] stuck inside this white room

I painted black

[Brrrrrrrrt]

Tarantula

Bang-bang, contract the muscular

I'm venomous

Sprang fangs right to your jugular

Cutting your brains on the rug

And your blood on the comforter

Part of me's Peter Parker

But bust my guns like The Punisher

I'm a rabid arachnid

I'm trappin' 'em in the web

Then I wrap 'em up

Like a package for afterwards in the shed

I'm carnivorous

And the blood of these rappers is how I'm fed

Deliver death like Dexter

Dark as the passenger in my head

And they know

I'm a killer on the low

Patient double zero

Fuck a cheat code

My ammo's unlimited

I only stop when I got to reload

I'm twenty below and the blood in me froze

And I painted this room only color I know

Yeah, I painted it black

It was dark as my soul

So fuck it, let's go

I got the devil on my shoulder

And the weight might break my back

I'm losing my composure

And I might crack

[Yea-eh-eh-eh]

And so they say that my persona

[Has a tendency to] come so undone then

[Then my identity] is stuck inside this white room

I painted black

Brrr

Brrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrah

Whoa, back to back, you can't catch that flow

Counteract upon tracks that blow

Chiropractic, back snapping

Fat bass gymnastics mash it up

Massive, bro

Casual, this shit easy, G

Ride the beat, c'mon you know me

Designed to be the best

Need the rest to test me

Watch me rise up victoriously

Yeah, we back on that loose again

Representing that loony bin

Give a fuck if lose or win

When that spider bite go right through the skin

Venom hit when I strike the vein

Got a monster locked up inside my brain

And to wrestle with him's like fighting Bane

But I know that part of me likes the pain

Like a masochist spider

Biting antagonists

Biting, inciting paralysis

Vital signs of a pathogen

Striking deep in the artery

Peter Parker, but dark as the

Black and bruise on the mark I leave

Ren and Webb is the thread you see

We got time to kill

Murder on my mind

I'll give your spine a chill

Show up in Silent Hill

Bumpin' Twisted Metal, behind the wheel

We pose a threat

Pulling you under

Hope you can hold your breath

And kill them all until there's no one left

Tarantula
