Super Predator
Joey Bada$$ Lyrics

Call me the general
I am leading the charge.

Pushin the agenda dude
I am promoting my message.

For my millennials, for the youth and the fellas too
My message is aimed at the younger generation and men.

Trying to be perennial, but chances living is minimal
I am striving for success, but know that it is unlikely to last forever.

She critical, exactly what made my niggas criminals
The harsh reality of life led my friends to break the law.

Typical AmeriKKKa, damn sure ain't no miracle
America has its flaws and is far from perfect.

Word to Steezy, I'mma keep this shit lyrical
I am paying tribute to a friend and will continue to rap with depth and meaning.

Til' I fall out my physical
I will continue to rap until I can no longer physically do so.

All of my verses is biblical
My lyrics contain powerful and thought-provoking messages.

Flowing religiously, my delivery is spiritual
My rapping is seamless and has a spiritual quality.

Feelin' invincible, this here ain't nothing new
I feel unbeatable, this is a familiar feeling for me.

This is just principle, take notes, if I were you
I am rapping based on my principles, and it would be wise to take note of my words.

They say I'm a clumsy king, how I be dropping jewels
I am criticized for the way I deliver my powerful messages.

But see the funny thing is I got lots to lose
I have a lot at stake with my message and public persona.

Never no fucks to give, only one life to live
I don't care about the opinions of others and only have one chance at life.

So I can exchange my negative for a positive
I am transforming my negative experiences into something positive.

And it's all
This is all part of my message.

Good Lord
Expression of amazement or exclamation.

The pen is way mightier than the sword
Words have a greater impact than violence.

Who want war? I told you before
I am not to be messed with and have warned people previously.

How I kick in the door
I am making my presence known and imposing my will.

With the rugged war, back just to re-install
I am creating havoc and destruction to pave the way for a new way of life.

What you niggas thought it was?
I am challenging people's preconceived notions of what life is.

Yes I'm a veteran, you just a come up
I have been doing this for a while, whereas others are just starting out.

About to teach you a lesson
I am about to impart some wisdom.

How to get your hunger up?
How to become more motivated and driven?

Nigga
Expression of defiance, disregard or insult.

Badmon we a run tings
We are in charge and control.

We never let the tings run we
We never lose control of the situation.

All the gyal dem a come pree
Women are interested in us and want to be with us.

And tell them everybody never come free
We are aware that nothing comes for free.

Super predator, filthy AmeriKKKa
America is full of violent criminals and has many problems.

Burn the newspapers and the editors
The media is corrupt and unreliable.

My dead presidents ain't dead enough
The money I make is not enough to satisfy me.

Blew a zip to the head, still ain't red enough
I have smoked a lot of drugs and still don't feel fulfilled.

Pray to Jesus, hope he got you
I am not religious, but hope that someone is looking out for me.

No I'm not a chicken, I never listen to FOX News
I am not a coward and I don't believe everything I hear on the news.

Niggas built the country but never getting their props due
Black people have helped build America but are not given the credit they deserve.

Paying for my people, I'm still payin' for my pops dues
I am supporting my family and still dealing with the issues caused by my father.

I'm royalty, my momma said it
My mother believes I am special and important.

I'm gold hearted, I'm scum headed
I have a kind heart but have experienced and endured many negative situations.

Lost soul in a promised land of promises
I feel aimless and unfulfilled despite living in a place of opportunity.

Gotta mask on, but no I'm not anonymous
I am trying to hide my true feelings and emotions but am doing so unsuccessfully.

Built on my lonely, no accomplices
I have achieved success on my own and don't need anyone's help.

Light a L up for my accomplishments
Celebrate and acknowledge my success by smoking marijuana.

I'm a real nigga, it's not a lot of 'em
I am genuine and honest, not many people are like me.

If they were, then the cops probably shot at 'em
People who are honest and true to themselves are often targets of law enforcement.

Stomp the grass in my Timbalands
I am walking around boldly and confidently.

Ain't nothing colder than New York when that December ends
New York is a tough and unforgiving place, especially in the winter.

The coldest shoulders
People in New York can be cold and unfeeling.

From average joes and the simple mans
Everyone in New York is affected by this emotional distance.

I pack the heat cause I'm known around to be simmering
I carry weapons because people know me to be potentially dangerous.

That mean I'm finna hit the boilin' point like real soon
I am close to losing my temper and acting out violently.

Man, I've been heating up
I have been getting more and more angry and frustrated.

My self esteem been on the move
My confidence has been fluctuating.

The flow is hotter than volcanic craters near the equator
My rapping is powerful and intense.

Any debaters is simply haters
People who argue with me are just jealous and resentful.

They know that I'm greater
People know that I am better than them.

I be countin' my paper, forever fuck all the majors
I am making a lot of money and don't need the support of major record labels.

Did it all on my own
I achieved success without the help of others.

Don't owe nobody no favors
I don't owe anyone anything.

It's clear, I'm heir to the throne
It is obvious that I am the next in line for greatness.

I've been the best in my zone
I am the most talented in my geographic area.

Internationally known, forever Brooklyn's own
I am famous all over the world but will always identify with my roots in Brooklyn.

Here's for the Presidents, the Congressmen, the Senators
I am directly addressing powerful government officials.

Who got us all slaving while they reaping all the benefits
Politicians are exploiting the people for their own gain.

Got the world thinking that it's true 'bout what they said of us
People around the world believe the negative things said about America.

AmeriKKKa's worst nightmare, the super predator
America fears violent criminals, who are seen as some of the worst people in the world.
