One of Them Now

[Intro] Yeah. Stopped runnin' round day one hundred. Lost count after that. Old me's dead. Didn't even go to the funeral. Nobody sent flowers. Good. Hate flowers. [Verse 1] Used to be scared of the woods, now the woods scared of my schedule, Wendigo's my accountant, we split the leftovers equal, Guy who drove out here in verse one? Killed him myself, Kept his flashlight, sold his podcast equipment, kept his health insurance card too, don't ask, Black-eyed kid taught me manners, I taught him bankruptcy law, Rake's under my porch now, pays rent, never seen him, don't care, don't withdraw, Skinwalker tried to copy my style, sued him, won in a landslide, Everybody wanna be me now, funny, 'cause everybody used to run and hide, Poltergeist still owes me twelve dollars from a bet, Bet him he couldn't break a plate, he broke the whole cabinet, I forget, Rappers scared of the dark, I AM the dark, I got a lease on it, Y'all be rappin' about monsters, I fired mine, gave severance, [Hook] One of them now, one of them now, Killed the old me, buried him somewhere, don't remember how, One of them now, one of them now, Everybody scared of the woods, I'm the HOA, I run the whole town, [Verse 2] Got a hat like the shadow man, he wants it back, not happenin', Got a smile like the black-eyed kids, practiced it, patented, People say "you ain't human," correct, upgraded, newer model, Old version had a soul, soul kept crashin', had to reboot the throttle, Freezer's full. Basement's full. Attic's full. Storage unit's full too, Might rent a second storage unit, that's a normal thing that people do, Y'all rappers still scared of ghosts, I employ six of 'em part time, Health benefits, dental, one of 'em unionized, filed a whole crime, Other rappers talk horrorcore, couldn't survive one night out here, Talkin' tough on a track then screamin' the second a shadow's near, Come to my woods, bring a mic, see how many bars you spit, Bet you tap out 'fore the chorus, bet you don't finish it, [Bridge] Thanks for the tour by the way. Gift shop's closed. Wendigo runs it on weekends. Rake says hey. Kids say hey. Everybody says hey except the old me. He's busy being dead. [Verse 3] Every track you played tonight, that was a door, you walked through eight of 'em, Didn't notice how far you traveled, didn't notice you got quiet somewhere round track seven, Started with a wrong turn, thought it was a story, thought it was pretend, Eight tracks deep now, kinda late to pretend it's got a normal end, Check the tree line by your window, check it twice, take your time, Or don't. Don't matter. Already told you how this rhyme, Ends. Ends the same for everybody, ends the same for me, Ended for the version of me that used to run. He's the one you should've listened to. He's the one who saw it comin'. [Outro] Anyway. Welcome to the family. Dental's Tuesdays. Whoop whoop.
