[Intro - spoken] [Brian, tense, coiled] …you ever hear your own voice telling you to die? [The Burden - slowed vocal tag, screw-style, evil deep bass] He finally heard me. Took the weak bitch long enough. [Beat drop] [Verse 1 - Brian] Demon in my head, don’t let me sleep Counts every failure I bury deep “Put the mic down, you’re a fucking joke” “Every stage you touch, the whole crowd chokes” Gave it my blood, still wanted more Knocked every door, it slammed the door Standing here with nothing left to lose This motherfucker I can’t remove [Burden interlude] You hear that? Mama’s still praying “About to make it” for two years straight What’s that in dog years… pathetic? [Hook - west coast bounce melodic] I’m not the one (not the one) I hear it every time I try I’m not the one (not the one) But I refuse to let it die I’m not the one (not the one) I’ll scream it to the sky I’m not the one… Watch me prove it wrong [Verse 2] Voice knows my name, knows my fears Living rent-free for twenty years “Remember when you bombed in ’22? Two people clapped, because of the mother fucking mosquito… Laugh ’cause it’s true, then it twists the knife Voice don’t miss, it wants my life Take the poison, make it bleed Turn the verdict to a war cry [Burden interlude] I guess you’ll die… if you tryyy… Tell him he’s got this Lie to him Everybody else already does… (ha..ha.. haaa..) [Hook - west coast bounce melodic] I’m not the one (not the one) I hear it every time I try I’m not the one (not the one) But I refuse to let it die I’m not the one (not the one) you’ll die if i try… I’m not the one… Watch me prove it wrong [Bridge] Done running from the voice in my head Wants me broken, but I ain’t broken yet Every scar’s a verse, every tear’s a song This voice was right… but not for long [Final Hook - slow + melodic] I’m not the one (not the one) I hear it every time I try I’m not the one (not the one) But I refuse to let it die I’m not the one (not the one) I’ll scream it to the sky I’m not the one… Watch me prove it wrong [Whisper outro - Burden] (bordomsburden…) (bordomsburden…) (yeah… you already lost.)
