Tarantula 00:12
Gang-gang, right from the stereo 00:14
Gargantuan 00:16
God damn, fit for a burial 00:17
A cannula 00:20
From my wrist, sick material 00:21
A chronically ill 00:23
Sound for your aerial 00:25
I'll just let go 00:26
There's a crack in my design 00:27
Like an echo 00:32
These thoughts replay in my mind 00:34
There's no safety 00:39
There's no rest 00:41
There's no sleep for the dead 00:42
And I hate these 00:46
Side effects that get left by the meds 00:48
I got the devil on my shoulder 00:53
And the weight might break my back 00:56
I'm losing my composure 01:00
And I might crack 01:02
[Yea-eh-eh-eh] 01:05
And so they say that my persona 01:06
[Has a tendency to] come so undone then 01:09
[Then my identity is] stuck inside this white room 01:12
I painted black 01:16
[Brrrrrrrrt] 01:19
Tarantula 01:20
Bang-bang, contract the muscular 01:21
I'm venomous 01:24
Sprang fangs right to your jugular 01:25
Cutting your brains on the rug 01:27
And your blood on the comforter 01:28
Part of me's Peter Parker 01:30
But bust my guns like The Punisher 01:32
I'm a rabid arachnid 01:33
I'm trappin' 'em in the web 01:35
Then I wrap 'em up 01:37
Like a package for afterwards in the shed 01:38
I'm carnivorous 01:40
And the blood of these rappers is how I'm fed 01:41
Deliver death like Dexter 01:43
Dark as the passenger in my head 01:45
And they know 01:47
I'm a killer on the low 01:48
Patient double zero 01:49
Fuck a cheat code 01:50
My ammo's unlimited 01:51
I only stop when I got to reload 01:52
I'm twenty below and the blood in me froze 01:54
And I painted this room only color I know 01:55
Yeah, I painted it black 01:57
It was dark as my soul 01:58
So fuck it, let's go 01:59
I got the devil on my shoulder 02:00
And the weight might break my back 02:04
I'm losing my composure 02:08
And I might crack 02:10
[Yea-eh-eh-eh] 02:12
And so they say that my persona 02:14
[Has a tendency to] come so undone then 02:16
[Then my identity] is stuck inside this white room 02:20

Whoa, back to back, you can't catch that flow 02:53
Counteract upon tracks that blow 02:55
Chiropractic, back snapping 02:57
Fat bass gymnastics mash it up 02:58
Massive, bro 02:59
Casual, this shit easy, G 03:00
Ride the beat, c'mon you know me 03:01
Designed to be the best 03:03

Yeah, we back on that loose again 03:06
Representing that loony bin 03:08
Give a fuck if lose or win 03:09
When that spider bite go right through the skin 03:10
Venom hit when I strike the vein 03:12
Got a monster locked up inside my brain 03:14
And to wrestle with him's like fighting Bane 03:15
But I know that part of me likes the pain 03:17
Like a masochist spider 03:18
Biting antagonists 03:20
Biting, inciting paralysis 03:21
Vital signs of a pathogen 03:23
Striking deep in the artery 03:24
Peter Parker, but dark as the 03:26
Black and bruise on the mark I leave 03:27
Ren and Webb is the thread you see 03:29
We got time to kill 03:30
Murder on my mind 03:31
I'll give your spine a chill 03:32
Show up in Silent Hill 03:34
Bumpin' Twisted Metal, behind the wheel 03:35
We pose a threat 03:37
Pulling you under 03:38
Hope you can hold your breath 03:39
And kill them all until there's no one left 03:40

[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
