rumble
Afu‐Ra Lyrics

I'm a problem child, I'm my own worst enemy
I am self-destructive and often cause issues for myself.

No matter what happens in life, precise and nothing scares me
I am confident and fearless in the face of adversity.

Even the bombs is exploding all around me
Even when everything is falling apart, I am unfazed.

I be the type of man, who stand his ground, firmly
I am resolute in my beliefs and choices.

I'm compulsive, psychotic in the mental
I have obsessive tendencies and am unbalanced mentally.

A walking fear factor, seven thirty, it's that simple
I am intimidating and terrifying to others with ease.

I've been exposed to a universe of negative fallout
I have experienced a lot of negativity in my life.

The fact that I move on nothing, it makes me wanna ball out
The feeling of being stuck motivates me to take risks and make something happen.

Instead, I put vocals to the beats and get it popping
I channel my emotions and energy into creating music.

The harm glare right through the track, I feel like rocking
My fierce attitude and energy shine through in my music.

But back to the program, damn
Let's refocus on the task at hand.

My evil and is taking over like I'm sinking in some quicksand
My negative tendencies are consuming me like sinking sand.

Really I feel like going up in a blaze, hot damn
I feel like I'm going to explode with emotion.

I'm a cross of Jack the Ripper and the Son of Sam
I am a dangerous and unpredictable force.

It's like I'm living five lives and of five guys
I feel like I have multiple personalities, each with its own set of desires and motivations.

With five million ways to bust heads, so forgive my slide
I have a lot of ways to cause harm, so sometimes I slip up.

Imagine yourself free falling, falling and falling
Picture an endless feeling of uncertainty and instability.

A thousand story's, after diggin' some stars in scrolls
A lot of events and stories to sort through, like digging through old texts.

That's how I feel, 24 hours a day
I feel constantly overwhelmed and uncertain.

From Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Every day, without exception.

Friday and even on Saturday, it's like I'm trapped in a box
Even on weekends, I feel stuck in my own thoughts and emotions.

Uh-huh, going to war with myself
I am in a constant struggle with my own thoughts and emotions.

So I can't stop thinking about killing myself
Suicidal ideation is a frequent occurrence for me.

So I do what I do, to do what I do, to break the rules
I break rules to cope with my pain and struggles.

Only form of therapy is to spit it for you
Singing/performing music is the only way I can express myself and find emotional release.

Charismatically drastic with this rap shit
I have a magnetic and bold style of rapping.

Thoughts are falling off but send them back like elastic
Even when I lose focus, I can quickly regain it.

Get the politic sorrows in the music game
I confront and address societal issues and problems in my music.

I'm trynna make sense of corruption in my brain
I am attempting to understand and address the chaos and turmoil in my own mind.

I hope this part of my life, don't want war with my seeds
I don't want my struggles to harm my loved ones or future generations.

Masturbation of pornos, wrapped in best flame
I rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as pornography and substance abuse.

The little things, that's gon' drive me insane
The small, seemingly insignificant things can easily overwhelm me.

I'm in hell, raised in lyrically blazing
I feel like I am trapped in my own personal hell, but channel it into intense and powerful lyrics.

To make a long story short, I'm half man, half amazing
To sum it up, I am a unique and extraordinary individual.

Sometimes I don't know whether I'm coming or going
I constantly feel disorientated and confused.

So I dive head first into the track and keep flowing and flowing
I lose myself in my music to escape my own thoughts and emotions.

My hearts on my sleeve, my loves growing and growing
I wear my heart and emotions on my sleeve, and my love for my art continues to grow.

That's how I like, from the music I make rumble
I want my music to resonate and make an impact.

From the forty come licks, that's right I watch 'em crumble
My lyrics and style are so powerful that they can bring others to their knees.

Survival of the fittest, this business means business
In the music industry, only the strong and determined survive.

Gotta say what I mean, gotta handle to my business
I am honest and direct in my music and approach to the industry.

I'm one soldier fighting against a whole army
I am alone and fighting against overwhelming opposition.

I'm little with bullets, yeah and none of them harming
I may be small, but I am still a force to be reckoned with.

My third eye, six stones, the eyes on the prize
I am intuitive and have a strong sense of direction and purpose.

Going from knowledge, build the wise
I am constantly learning and using my experiences to grow and become wiser.

And if I ain't successful
If I don't achieve success,

In the back of my mind, I gotta wonder why
I will always question why I couldn't make it.

I keep my nose, yeah, fit to the grindstone
I stay focused and work hard towards my goals.

Going and showing and growing top of these fucking poems
I am constantly working to improve my art and make an impact.

And do you wanna rumble?
Are you ready to face me and my music?

And do you wanna rumble?
Are you ready to face me and my music?

And do you wanna rumble?
Are you ready to face me and my music?

And do you wanna rumble?
Are you ready to face me and my music?
