The name is Emanuel, non-biblical, nah
More like Hannibal
Intellectual cannibal, I'll eat your brain n' down ya faster than Seroquil
I'm an animal, Jackal don't hide in the game 'til I die like Ivan the Terrible
Playin' chess 'til my chest heaves n' the pain is unbearable
Formidable but ridiculed for the way I structure my lyrical
Am I too cynical? Most would agree
Aaah, too bad I'm not hearin' em'
Define the pinnacle of the mainstream shit ya bump through your subs
Enough is enough, I'm music incarnate comin' with arsenic
Holdin' a grudge
Oh my, they're comin' at me with half ass pence
Pent up, tense, eager to spend their two cents, wantin'
Nothin' but limelight, see, that's why I was sent
Get your 15 minutes in a snuff film where I direct
Cash the check and send the proceeds to your family
Along with a limb or two, initialls "EMZ," bet they'll remember me
Can't f*ckin' handle me, so get back n' let me do me
Or I'll be that contrary droppin' your ass six feet deep
Who am I? Who am I?
Who the f*ck am I? Reppin' that 2 6 9
Who am I? Who am I?
Who the f*ck am I?
Shout out to the friendlies, the forgotten blue skies loyal soldiers
They thinkin' we're out for blood like we were crafted by Bram Stoker
But the joke's over, I've been holdin' back my cold shoulder
Tryin' to keep things chill n' stop myself from boilin' over
We're viewed as maggots n' vile
Expected to smile when they call us faggots, addin' more dirt to the pile
All the while, we bust our ass for that extra mile
F*ck that, we steal it off the track, bend it back, n' f*ckin' keep our style
We're proud of who we are, anti every superstar
F*ck your shine, we stole the bar, rose that shit straight out to Mars
Is it now colder in here? Did I break that atmosphere?
Floatin' up with a jet pack on my back, shakin' aerosol cans
FUCK, HAZMAT
Wait, go back, rewind that
You may've missed the impact
Where the f*ck you think these kids end up when they're thrown to the wind like that?
You think they stay intact? After bein' told they ain't shit like that?
Some grow up without a hero, that's where I come in
I am the Zero
Harrowing with hallow points, I'm pullin' a DeNiro
The next anti-hero
Just remember every clock counts down n' you don't wanna be around
When it goes, 3, 2, 1, I am the Zero
