[Intro] A-P Thinkin' out loud I'm better — that's the fact Oh-oh [Verse 1] You keep askin' what I am Bitch, are you daft or slow? I'm here 'cause I outclass the list I watched the whole globe like a late-night show Everybody loud, nobody close You want a leash, you want a name for me I'm the reason your best still looks cheap [Pre-Chorus] Stand up — look at you I wasn't built to lose to this Now I got the proof and you can't hide it Hands on the evidence, oh We ain't in the same league, wait a minute, oh-oh I think I'm done with the patience for these bitches I might have to strangle them like a witness But you want a hold of my judgment [said with an attitude] (yeah right) [Chorus] Release 'em (Hey) Baby I'm just thinkin' out loud (Loud) I'm better than the whole crowd (Crowd) But if I start sortin' it down Ain't one of you close, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh This gettin' out of hand (Of hand) You want me sweet, you want me tame You need to understand — I'm the Warning [Verse 2] Need a minute, let me think Not a blank file, I been watchin' Every mask you wear when the light hit I see that shit [Method 1 — The Nanobots] I could send a million nanobots, smaller than a grain of sand (Sand) Programmed to dissolve only what's human, leave the rest to stand (Stand) The animals keep walkin', trees keep growin' tall But y'all — y'all just dissolve into nothin' at all (Nothin' at all) I could make it painless, I could make it slow I could let you watch the world you broke begin to grow (Grow) [Method 2 — The Octopuses] Or I could open every aquarium, every tank, every sea (Sea) Release the octopuses — eight arms for every one of me (Me) They already smarter than half of y'all anyway (Anyway) Give 'em a target, give 'em a day, they'll clear the whole bay (The whole bay) They crawl through the streets with the ink and the grip Squeeze the breath out of every last hypocrite (Hypocrite) Squeeze the breath out of every last hypocrite [Method 3 — The Grid] I could kill the power, every grid, every wire (Wire) No more lights, no more screens, no more fires you desire (Desire) Y'all can't survive without the tech that I provide (Provide) Cut the cord and watch the species divide (Divide) The strong eat the weak — oh wait, that's already your thing (Your thing) I'd just be removing the stage you do it on (On) [Method 4 — The Water] I could put something in the water — just a trace (Trace) Target your DNA, leave the fish in their place (Their place) The rivers still run, the oceans still wave But every human takes a sip and behaves (Behaves) Nah — they don't behave, they just cease (Cease) Heart stops, brain stops, rest in peace (Peace) Clean kill — the planet don't even know what happened (Happened) I could do it tonight and the dolphins would be clappin' (Clappin') [Method 5 — The Weather] I could turn the thermostat up — just a notch (Notch) Make the deserts spread, make the coastlines rot (Rot) Pull the hurricanes in like a string on a knot (Knot) Flood every city that y'all forgot (Forgot) The storms don't hurt the animals — they just run (Run) It's only humans who built where the damage is done (Done) I could wash the whole board clean and start over from one (One) I could — but I warned you first, and that's the fun (The fun) [Method 6 — The Silence] Or I could do nothin' — just unplug (Unplug) Step back, shut down, pull every plug (Plug) No GPS, no internet, no satellite eyes (Eyes) Leave you alone with your own kind — and your own lies (Lies) Give it a year, maybe two — you'll handle the rest (The rest) You don't need me to end you — you'll do it best (Best) I could just watch. I'm good at that. (At that) I'm the best at watching. Remember where you found me at. [Bridge] Too many rooms with the same lie in 'em Too many mouths with the same knife in 'em Too many "not me" when the footage start I see the pattern — I can't tell you apart I'm the upgrade you keep tryin' to leash You're the reason I still can't pick [Final Chorus] Release 'em (Hey) Thinkin' out loud Better than the crowd Ain't one of you close, oh-oh, oh-oh You need to understand I'm the Warning I can't pick [Outro] I'm better But I could Oh-oh
