anger, on demand

[Verse 1] I walk round with a chip on my shoulder Heavy rock, cold, I just hold her yeah it burns with a grin- a smolder Bends me doubled, my neck my back fold over Im saying - doing me is its duty Hair down face plain -it moves through me Boiling, brewing, it keeps on doing; doinggg Hunting hard, vengeance pursuing [Pre-Chorus] That’s just the path the point is only a kept route That’s just the facts Yeah - I map it out There’s a me that can be found you push, you ask, you impact U provoke who I keep from the crowd A me full of rage, no doubt The mule ; the ass Stacked with layered sass Pursuing problems that last Call it a bout - Re-route [Chorus] Still it’s me even it’s the side that’s untame Hardwired early I just don’t change Some features are hidden in ways Gotta convince it real strange Talk it down low, tell it “you’re okay” Anything but let it steal one more day Appeased in delirium tucked away Anything but surrender to anger Even when it edges into danger Even if I’m acting like a stranger Even when I pray [Verse 2] Anger still remains - an angry remainder Fire in my chest, screaming what I need Burning in my ribs, strong enough to seethe Fire so firey - It lives in me - red when it’s seen Red with a black gleam Raw hurt under steam Under the skin Under the grin I carefully pretend When I act like I hear nothing Under the one you see present It hums like a warning wire live line, straight hot fire Not a piece in me I admire Just proof I’m a survivor Warmth in fire [Pre-Chorus] They call anger reckless flame But mine takes aim - reckless untame Yeah, mine has a name Mine clocks who came Who stayed Who played Who watched me dig my grave Never checked what kind of bed Had been made that I laid [Chorus] So I hold it real careful Protecting at slow pace Like something unstable Not holy - not waste Not fatal Just capable To vanish on command Right on cue like planned Anger on demand The anger in my hands [Bridge] And maybe that’s fine Maybe it’s mine Maybe that red in my chest is the sign Maybe it’s on my side… Maybe we walk side by side [Chorus] Not every fire is wrong Not every burn’s defeat Some of that heat built me strong Some of that burn kept me me Anything but surrender to anger Even when it’s dancing with danger Even when I wear the mask of a stranger Anything but surrender to anger Steel in my voice, I’m the anchor I decide when it rises from the chamber I’m the master of disaster and I’ll burn peer or faster as I feed it according to what’s said by the mapper Anything but surrender to anger Anything but surrender to anger
