[Intro] [dark piano chords, atmospheric synth pad] (Hey, who's to blame? Skrrt, skrrt) [Verse 1] [808 bass and trap drums enter] I got that pain in my veins, who's to blame? Who's the bloodline? (Whoa) Go to flame, now they pointin' names Kid always hit hard like them nights I stayed away We alright, yeah we alright, no shame (Who's to blame? Who's to blame?) [piano melody becomes more prominent] Yeah, who's to blame? Yeah Left me in the cold, I was hungry for them digits Now the coupe all black, both speed, no limits Just a crappy smile in my face, now they pray that I diminish I'm a bright, don't sleep, I'm the chef, I replenish (Cook it up, cook it up) House turned vision board, manifest my will Came from nowhere, now designer on my skin They said I'd fail, but I tower with my grain I took that pain, turned it all into gold [Chorus] [full energy, heavy 808 slides] Who's to blame when I fall? But I rise up like a king, rise! Who's to blame when they fade? But I turn to my pen Who's to blame when I'm real? They pretend in the end Yes, me against the world, that's my only friend (That's right, hey, hey, hey) Who's to blame? (Hey, hey, hey) Who's to blame? (Hey, hey, hey) Who's to blame? (Hey, hey, hey) [Verse 2] [drums drop out briefly, then return] Back to the basics, I had no peace I was city pullin' ahead, but I found my release Time to pick up, I don't need no speech I just made it my first, now my crown no cease They betrayed me, smiled and left me in the rain But I danced with my pain, made the puddle on my chain Now I'm flexin' the bias, I reverse the same Feed on my fuel and I'm breakin' them chains (Skrrt, skrrt) Every scar, another stripe for my name Earned that medal for me, can't play that game Level tiers for my empire, bricks from the flame No mask in the mirror, who's to blame? [Chorus] Who's to blame when I fall? But I rise up like a king, rise! Who's to blame when they fade? But I turn to my pen Who's to blame when I'm real? They pretend in the end Yes, me against the world, that's my only friend (That's right, hey, hey, hey) Who's to blame? (Hey, hey, hey) Who's to blame? (Hey, hey, hey) Who's to blame? (Hey, hey, hey) [Outro] [piano fades, 808 sustains] Made mistakes, but I double my dough Ten toes down, never fold on my bro Never chase when the pain I chose Money and freedom, that's life I propose When they ask who to blame when I blow Tell 'em out to the pay, turn it all to gold Who's to blame? Who's to blame? For the pain and the flame [music fades out]
