DAMIEN Lyrics

Look at how I get painted

Talking down on my name 'til I took it out and then banged it

Shook the town when I came and I put a frown on their faces

I'm Damien

About to put them down in their places

For all the misconceptions. You're wrong with them perceptions

We are not the same, I'm at the top of my profession

Something in my brain said I should follow its direction

And raise hell for the problems they have left in

My path again, I was always so adamant

About getting the bag from a classic record and cashing in

20 years later, I'm steady imagining

This could be my Illmatic. Watch it spread like a pathogen

I hit the scene and they had a fit. Envious of the wrath of it

This is me when my back's against the wall

And they'd rather see me fall before getting cream for my raps and shit

Try to kill me but I rise up like I'm Lazarus

They say, boy, you out your damn mind

Because I'm in the deep-end with my hands tied

Niggas is mad because I can't die

Lot of people got murdered for being Anti

Y'all left me no option

Now they all flee when I pop up

Yeah, boy, I'm out my damn mind

Jesus Christ, I'm Anti

They say, boy, you out your damn mind

Damn right, yeah. Damn right

They say, boy, you out your damn mind

Damn right, yeah. Damn right

Y'all left me no option

Now they all flee when I pop up

Yeah, boy, I'm out my damn mind

Jesus Christ, I'm Anti

Swallowed my pride

Sat with myself, prayed to God for my time

Been elite, at my peak, since I got in my prime

But I might be too Real / Reel when I drop a highlight

I'm tryna' rise 'til I glide like I'm Clyde

In the air just like Mike or LeBron from the dotted line

Why do they treat me like I don't belong

Egregious, but I'm dope as all them weak MCs that keep on being promoted all week

It seems like the culture's gone. Either that or I'm really a demon

Yeah, I read the tweets you be posting, dawg

That's why I'm going off. Limits, I don't know it all

Blow your brains out for pretending that you're a know-it-all

Because I got the juice, I'm B.I.G with a Pac influence

With a little Nas & Wu. Won't miss with an opportunity

The devil must be living through my raps and shit

Out your fucking mind tryna' bury Lazarus

They say, boy, you out your damn mind

Because I'm in the deep-end with my hands tied

Niggas is mad because I can't die

Lot of people got murdered for being Anti

Y'all left me no option

Now they all flee when I pop up

Yeah, boy, I'm out my damn mind

Jesus Christ, I'm Anti

They say, boy, you out your damn mind

Damn right, yeah. Damn right

They say, boy, you out your damn mind

Damn right, yeah. Damn right

Y'all left me no option

Now they all flee when I pop up

Yeah, boy, I'm out my damn mind

Jesus Christ, I'm Anti
