I’m not sure if you’re aware or not but I’m Illuminati

We controlling the minds of all the youth

Shady, the evil empire

Yeah you got me pegged motherfucker

You got me, fuck y’all

[Verse 1: Yelawolf]

Man people really got me confused, what did I do?

Outside being a human being seeing my dreams through?

Never did shit to nobody but invite them out to my party

Get’em drunk and maybe even tell them a story or two

Some think I’m Illuminati ‘cuz I’m a light in the dark

Lookin’ for masonic symbols inside of my body art

That’s hilarious Marshall, what the fuck you do to these folks?

Crazy motherfuckers tryin’ to put me and you in the boat

With Royce da 5’9”, Crooked I, Budden and Joell

But I’m on this ship and I don’t give a shit, oh well

I see the storm, let the boat sail

And I’m on deck but the rain pourin’ off my raincoat tails

They see God in me ‘cuz I know Hell

They see the criminal inside of me probably ‘cuz I broke jail

But my soul is not on wholesale

And when I die, my people will be cryin’ the first

No? Well look

[Hook]

If I’m gonna be the one, then everybody comes to one

Then I guess the battle has begun, fuck it then, let’s have some fun

‘Cuz I promise I will never run, never run from what I’ve become

‘Cuz all that dumb shit that I’ve done, built me up to make me the one

[Verse 2: Yelawolf]

Jesus Christ sittin’ passenger with the .45

Turn the page, I got a new way to earn in pay

Stickin’ bitches up with a crucifix while Lucifer sits

With a Vice Magazine, burning every page

Well I guess it’s my turn to play

The wildcard of Shady’s clique and new world order’ll play

Talkin’ shit, yeah that’s sorta gay

But I ain’t homophobic; I punch a homo like I punch a man

No way, are you serious?

Claiming that I got hipsters brainwashed and they all coming to my show

But if you took a moment and took my dick out your mouth

You would see all the versatility on the front row

I convert, revert people to desert

People who miss being them people of Wolf, go home

And if you’re 'bout it enough, anybody doubtin’

They come to the Circle of Psychos and you be done

So look

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Yelawolf]

The one gathering people, some people think that I’m king

Some people think that I’m trash, some people shout and they scream

Don’t bother me, I’m a survivor, I’m alive and livin’ my dream

In a microwave society I’m a steady stream

Don’t need no validation from any cultural thieves

No magazines or blogs or anybody who don’t believe

If you’re behind the camera, than just point it at me

‘Cuz I’ll be making this movie and you’re just making a scene, check it

Missy Eliot gave me a shot and I love her for it

I wasn’t ready, I should have waited, but when you poor

And you got a two year old baby and one on the way

You be crazy to see opportunity at your door and ignore it

So you lookin’ back and callin’ me whack and ho for

When all I wanted to do was get my kids out that apartment

And that’s important

And I went from not having a home, to everything I owned up in storage

I made a sacrifice any daddy would make

‘Cuz I cannot stand and look when they look into daddy’s face

When the government picked away at every penny that I made

I had to borrow money to get my son a fuckin’ birthday cake

Yeah, I guess that’s a hard balance to weigh

Chase the rap game, or manage a subway

Well I suck at making a sandwich and rappin’ don’t get me paid

But if I stick to then I’ll get through with it someday

I’ll be the one, you can talk shit about me

I’ll be the one that you think is a part of some fucked up cult

I’ll be the one you can hate

But

[Hook]

[Outro: Yelawolf]

I ain’t mad motherfucker

It’s that new church, I be pastor

What’s up Wolf pack? Secret sermon started

Open up this rhyme book, give you some motherfucking quotables
