[Verse 1] You gonna have to drop me in a box to stop me put me under earth Cuz those that know my work know that's exactly where my style was birthed Each word's a nail in the coffin the verse is the hearse And when the preacher speaks you see right through his teeth he don't believe his words But f** it I'll live in the shadows Just promise when the villagers arrive you'll travel safely on the back roads The path closed I write by the light of flickering torches Up in my fortress awaiting hoards of four horsemen My chords scorching from spitting heat Disfigured flows just trigger folks who want to torture me I see they're weak and can't understand all the dark forces in me It's hard to believe that such monstrosity can grow from a seed But see I've been showered with your doubt And instead of drowning I forced my flowers out with each petal prepared for falling out No falling now, cuz like a wolf at the moon when I see ya'll it'll be ya'll that I'm calling out [Hook] It's strange being called a monster by the ones who bite In due time this monster will take your life Yeah you made me a monster off of what you write In due time this monster will take your life Yeah you call me the monster till you force me to fight In due time this monster will take your life Yeah you call me a monster though you know it ain't right In due time this monster will take your life [Verse 2] They tell me I don't seem to shine right That's why they try to cast shadows on me They camera flash faulty when it's time for the limelight Well, I'd rather dwell in darkness with my mind right Than supernova cats just implode from their own size I terrorize your children till they all cry Climb the steeple clutching your wife swatting at plane's like they small flies So all rise for the honorable monster of the hillside The nightmare bringer singing his songs that don't sit right You sit tight if the bank got a hold on the check I speak frank like I got a bolt through my neck And when they come for me I'll be up in the turrets spitting verses at the mob Until they forced to disperse from the stress My fist hurting my chest, ribs rattle from the war cry And through my jaws you hear the final words before we all die You label me the monster but it's you who truly terrorize I live my life for good and it's the good for which I choose to die [Hook] It's strange being called a monster by the ones who bite In due time this monster will take your life Yeah you made me a monster off of what you write In due time this monster will take your life Yeah you call me the monster till you force me to fight In due time this monster will take your life Yeah you call me a monster though you know it ain't right In due time this monster will take your life
