The Reaper

[INTRO] Yeah... You hear that? That's not thunder. That's your deadline. [VERSE 1] Motherfuckers always talking 'bout forever, Like the universe signed some contract together. Everybody flexing, everybody playing king, Till I show up smiling like, "Cute little thing." Got CEOs praying, got killers on their knees, Got saints saying sorry, got tyrants saying please. Funny how courage disappears real quick, When the room gets cold and the clock starts to tick. You can buy ten cars, buy a mansion, buy fame, Still end up six feet under with a tag and a name. I don't give a damn what your bank account said, A billion dollars can't negotiate with the dead. [HOOK] Tick-tock, motherfucker, Hear the pendulum crack. One minute you're alive, Next minute ain't no coming back. Black coat, black eyes, Footsteps through the rain. When the Reaper learns your name, You won't forget mine again. [VERSE 2] I've seen empires burn from a front-row seat, Watched dictators cry and collapse in defeat. Watched lovers hold hands till their final breath, Then walk through my doorway together in death. People call me evil, Call me dark, Call me cursed. Nah... I'm just the bastard driving the hearse. I'm not the bullet. I'm not the disease. I'm not the storm ripping branches from trees. I'm just the son of a bitch with the list, Making damn sure nobody gets missed. [HOOK] Tick-tock, motherfucker, Hear the pendulum crack. One minute you're alive, Next minute ain't no coming back. Black coat, black eyes, Footsteps through the rain. When the Reaper learns your name, You won't forget mine again. [BREAKDOWN] So laugh louder. Love harder. Kiss somebody stupid. Take the trip. Write the song. Tell fear to suck a dick. Cause one day I'm pulling up, And I don't give a fuck who you are. King. Beggar. Rockstar. Superstar. We're all riding in the same black car. [OUTRO] And when you finally see me... Don't panic. Don't run. Don't beg. Just tell me one thing... Did you actually live? Or were you too damn scared to begin?
