Tell me no - I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion
Can't say it's gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

And any minute I'll be rollin' through
So get ready, get ready
And any minute I'll be comin' through
So get ready, get ready
Get ready, cuz here I come, get ready

What I'm searching for -to tell it straight,
I'm tryin to build a wall.
Walking by myself, down avenues that reek of time to kill
If you see me keep going, be a passerby; a waver
Build me up, bring me down, just leave me out you name dropper
Stop tryin to catch my eye, I see you good you forced faker
Just make it easy. You're my enemy you fast talker

I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up and mean all the things that I believe
What am I here for? I left my home to disappear is all.
I'm here for myself, not to know you
I don't need no one else
Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later
You don't know me I am an introvert an excavator
I'm duckin' out for now, a face in dodgy elevators
Creep up and suddenly I found myselfan innovator

Change, change, change, I want to get up out of my skin
tell you whatif I can shake it, I'm 'a make this something worth dreaming of
