Say Hello to the Bad Guy

[Intro] [slap bass riff, 808 drums, subwoofer at 32hz] [Vocal Hook] [high-pass filtered female voice] Say hello to the bad guy [synth stab] [Intro] Yeah... Everybody wanna be the boss... 'Til they gotta sit in the chair. Heh... Say hello to the bad guy. [bass continues syncopated pattern] Say hello to the bad guy, (bow bow) [guitar slide] [Verse 1] Wake up... Five in the mornin', still ain't slept right. Got a mansion full of marble but my chest tight. Look around the room... Three phones ringin'. Four different problems. Junkies out here fiendin Baby daddy got a hand out. Always got a reason. My partner say they loyal... 'Til they switch for a better season. See... That's the part they never tell ya. The money come quick... But the trust leave faster. I got partners at the table eatin' steak with me... While I'm wonderin' if they plannin' to start blastin’ Funny, huh? They toastin' to my health... While I'm checkin' exits. Countin' faces. Readin' body language. Studyin' expressions. One wrong move... Whole empire get tested. [Hook] (Say hello to the bad guy...) Everybody love you when the cash high. (Say hello to the bad guy...) Everybody smile with a knife by the side. (Say hello to the bad guy...) Sleep with one eye open every night. (Say hello to the bad guy...) Power got a price and I'm payin' it tonight. [Verse 2] Lunch meet downtown. Fancy restaurant. (Say hello to the bad guy...) Nobody eatin'. Everybody talkin'. (Say hello to the bad guy...) Numbers on napkins. Promises floatin'. (Say hello to the bad guy...) Half these deals built on fear... The other half built on greed. (Say hello to the bad guy...) And everybody swear they family... 'Til they see somethin' they need. See that dude across the table? (Say hello to the bad guy...) Yeah, he laughin'. But his eyes ain't. Keep tellin' me how much he respect me... But my instincts say he lyin'. (Say hello to the bad guy...) And I hate that. Always thinkin'. Always watchin'. Never relaxin'. Can't enjoy the view from the top... When you know how many people climbin'. Sometimes I miss bein' broke. At least back then I knew my enemies. (Say hello to the bad guy...) Now they wear tailored suits... And call me friend repeatedly. [Hook] Say hello to the bad guy... Everybody love you when the cash high. Say hello to the bad guy... Everybody smile with a knife by they side. Say hello to the bad guy... Sleep with one eye open every night. Say hello to the bad guy... Power got a price and I'm payin' it tonight. [Verse 3] Night falls. City lights glow beneath the balcony. Everybody think success feel different honestly. But I'm out here starin' at the skyline... Questionin' everything. Wonderin' who next. Wonderin' what's real. Wonderin' if anybody actually care how I feel. Cause when you become the monster in they story... Nobody asks what made you that way. Nobody asks what you sacrificed. What pieces of yourself you gave away. Just another deal tomorrow. Another risk tomorrow. Another fake smile. Another toast. Another person swearin' loyalty... That I probably trust the least the most. Damn... Maybe that's the curse. Not the enemies. Not the violence. Not the money. It's knowin' you built somethin' so big... You can never stop runnin'. [Outro] (slow piano) They see the cars... The houses... The suits... The headlines... They don't see the insomnia. The paranoia. The weight. The silence. Everybody wanna be the bad guy... Until they understand what it costs. (lighter flick) Yeah... Say hello to the bad guy. And goodbye to the man he used to be. [Outro] [drum fill, record scratch effect] SkiMask Mayhem
