Just a shell on a shelf

[intro instrumental old school rap] [chorus, black metal] If you saw me coming your way, would you turn and run away? Some folks think I'm more than they can take, but I think they're truely just fake. I'm keeping it real and that's the deal. If you can't take it that's NOT my fault. Get over yourself before you become irrelevant ...just a shell on a shelf. [verse] [tambour] If your family was deranged do you think with drugs they could have changed? Thorazine and Haldol perhaps could have helped them all. The crazy family on the hill was a name I couldn't take and never wiil. It's not a part of me, but I cannot forget it still. Reefer, alcohol, and cigarettes are things I've done with no regrets. Getting high was as good as it gets. [chorus, black metal] If you saw me coming your way, would you turn and run away? Some folks think I'm more than they can take, but I think they're truely just fake. I'm keeping it real and that's the deal. If you can't take it that's NOT my fault. Get over yourself before you become irrelevant... just a shell on a shelf. [Verse, trap] Irritability, resentment, and rage will only keep my soul in this cage. If I could escape the misery of such a pedigree, would I still have this angry tendency? Better living through science has quelled the nature of my defiance. Don't you dare tell ME what to do, a slap in the face is how I'll end you. You may think I'm a punk, but the only truth is I'm sick of your junk! [chorus, black metal] If you saw me coming your way, would you turn and run away? Some folks think I'm more than they can take, but I think they're truely just fake. I'm keeping it real and that's the deal. If you can't take it that's NOT my fault. Get over yourself before you become irrelevant... just a shell on a shelf. [Bridge, grunge] Yeah, I came from the dark, but I forged my own spark, Truth in my veins, I wear every scar. You call it baggage, I call it a map— Every step I took made me fight right back. I ain’t lookin’ for pity, just space to breathe, Somewhere the past don't stick to my sleeve. You don't know pain 'til it lives in your head, But I’m still here, and I ain’t playin’ dead. [chorus, black metal] If you saw me coming your way, would you turn and run away? Some folks think I'm more than they can take, but I think they're truely just fake. I'm keeping it real and that's the deal. If you can't take it that's NOT my fault. Get over yourself before you become irrelevant... just a shell on a shelf. [instrumental break turntableism] [Outro – Spoken word over beat fading out] So next time you see me, don’t flinch, don’t hide— I’m the storm that survived, not the tear you cried. No mask, no front, just truth in my stance, I walked through the fire, didn’t miss my chance. Still real, still raw, still standin’ tall... You can judge if you want—but I’ve lived through it all. [beat fades, last echo] You. Are...just a shell on a shelf.
