HELLBOY
Ryan Oakes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fuck love, I just wanna be paid
(Fuck sleep, I've been up for three days)
(Oh God, I don't wanna be saved 'cause I'm here to give 'em hell)

Fuck love, I just wanna be paid
Fuck sleep, I've been up for three days
Oh God, I don't wanna be saved ('cause I'm here to give 'em hell)
They tellin' me that I lost my mind
I tell myself that I'm doin' just fine
Motherfucker, read between those lines ('cause I'm better by myself)

In the night
(We leave our cocoons so we can howl at the moon)
We come alive
(We were born in lagoons and now we're comin' for you)

Out of the casket, just to put the masses back and
I'm the best rapper that's breathing everybody look, it's madic
Been the best without a question, never ax me like a hatchet
The only time I'm comin' second's when I'm motherfucking smashing

Turn to a monster, they might need to stab a stake in my chest
Bitch I'm a fiend try not to breathe 'cause I'm the shit, I'm grotesque
The women got a real fixation on me like cigarettes
They wanna follow me around like they my damn silhouettes, wah

Fuck love, I just wanna be paid
Fuck sleep, I've been up for three days
Oh God, I don't wanna be saved ('cause I'm here to give 'em hell)

They tellin' me that I lost my mind
I tell myself that I'm doin' just fine
Motherfucker, read between those lines ('cause I'm better by myself)

In the night
(We leave our cocoons so we can howl at the moon)
We come alive
(We were born in lagoons and now we're comin' for you)

Brought in this world an accident and now I misbehave
Back was stabbed so many times, I know the name of every blade
Been to hell and back so frequently my demons start to pray
Triple say my name in mirrors if you really feeling brave

I'm on a roll to put it blunt, all of these rapper get smoked
'Cause I can see through all they bullshit and I just seen a ghost
They only time that they can hang is with a stool and a rope
They call me Oakes except they spell it the G.O.A.T., wah

Fuck love, I just wanna be paid
Fuck sleep, I've been up for three days
Oh God, I don't wanna be saved ('cause I'm here to give 'em hell)

They tellin' me that I lost my mind
I tell myself that I'm doin' just fine
Motherfucker, read between those lines ('cause I'm better by myself)

(Fuck love, I just wanna be paid)




(Fuck sleep I've been up for three days)
(Oh God, I don't wanna be saved 'cause I'm here to give 'em hell)
