Music & Lyrics: Erinem
INTRO
I'm so sick of being disappointed in people
You're gonna reach a point, eventually
Where you've just had it
Give em your bad side
VERSE ONE
I'm done with falling back
With cutting bitches slack
With bending over back
Words are venomous smack
My affinity for flack hits infinity STAT
Came back a facsimile
Something in me cracked
Put em all on blast, I'm done with the decency
I'm on a warpath and the demon's released in me
I'm off of the fence and on the offensive
Done giving doubt, won't give em the benefit
Resentment's the incentive, my revenge is preemptive
Letting people in, I'm not even tempted
Sorry is irrelevant, you're ignoring the elephant
Humanity ought to be voluntarily celibate
Something I've never been wrong assuming
Is the worst in a human
It's a dog eat dog world, bite first and keep chewing
This is a song for when you feel a fight coming on
Fist up, it's on
HOOK ONE
When all the odds are stacked
I'm done with falling back
(You bring out my bad side)
I run another lap, I'm done taking crap
(Let's just take em all down)
So you can bang the gavel, but the battle ain't done
I'm the bad side, I'm back like the prodigal son
Go ahead and crack
They stabbed you in the back
(Let them meet your bad side)
VERSE TWO
You won't succeed skating by, you're no Tony Hawk
You couldn't get a feat even being the only sock
And ho, you're no singer, oh what a shock
I gave you my input, now I'm taking the aux
You're followed by robots and, keep hitting roadblocks
You don't stand for shit, you just pose on a soapbox
Go back to your glass house,
I'm not above throwing rocks
Cat's out the bag now
Shoved in Schrödinger's box!
I cannot! With your bot playlists
You're not famous
You do not make hits, I forgot!
What you write and wrote is hopeless
Wouldn't survive in this field as a locust
You talk about how hard it is
Bitch you ain't a novelist
You would not have a novel thought
If you sat on top of an obelisk
You're copping this
You couldn't get a pat on the back
With a stop-and-frisk!
You lost this
Is that not obvious?
HOOK TWO
When all the odds are stacked
I'm done with falling back
(You bring out my bad side)
I run another lap, I'm done taking crap
(Let's just take em all down)
So you can bang the gavel, but the battle ain't done
I'm the bad side, I'm back like the prodigal son
Go ahead and crack
They stabbed you in the back
(Let them meet your bad side)
OUTRO
Ways to skin a cat, I only need one
Cheat me and we'll see how fast a cheetah can run
I made a wrong turn, it was pivotal
Learned that white lies are typical
Why not let the bad side drive
My fury is outright alive, it's biblical
The bitterness like biting into
The center of a lemon - shit,
Everyone has a sinner and a bad side within em
I'm the venom in your pen
In the words you won't give em
Subliminal shots, outgun criminal plots
Giving 'em lots to draw from
That was the last straw
And I am the outcome
