Street Metal
Stillwell Lyrics

I'm split between rappin' and metal
I'm unsure whether to pursue a career in rap or metal music

From walking with Jesus and Kanye, to slayer's pact with the devil
I have diverse musical influences ranging from gospel and hip hop to heavy metal

Ice cube's gat clip spits another round, or avoid the toxicity with system of a down
I enjoy both gangsta rap and metal music that critiques society

I'm split between wu-tang and black Sabbath, guitar heroine habits and crack addicts
I'm conflicted between my love for Wu-Tang Clan's hip hop and Black Sabbath's metal, as well as my desire to play guitar like a rockstar and the dangers of addiction

KRS and the temple of hip hop, or bang the hell out to the tempo of slipknot
I appreciate both conscious hip hop by KRS-One and the aggressive energy of Slipknot's music

Life is great broken up and torn, I opened up for Rakim then I opened up for Korn
My life has had ups and downs, and I've had the opportunity to perform with both legendary rap artist Rakim and popular metal band Korn

No matter what I'm rock steady at every stop, alive with POD drop heavy rock.
Regardless of my musical genre, I always perform with confidence and energy, as seen in my collaboration with rock band P.O.D.

This is street metal
I am creating a new genre of music that fuses street culture, rap, and metal

Fitted caps, hot kicks, drum sticks mosh pits street metal
My music is inspired by and for the street culture, with elements of fashion, footwear, and wild concerts

You see Wuv on the set that's street metal, Field dog shredding the frets that's street metal
I acknowledge and honor my fellow musicians in P.O.D. who contribute to the unique sound of street metal

See Q penning the best that's street metal, Its deep level no need to be gentle
My lyricist Q is one of the best in the game, and our music goes deep and personal without holding back

I'm a remind them, they need to remember, It's like putting Nas and hatebreed in a blender
I want to remind people that street metal is a fusion of two seemingly different genres, similar to mixing the style of Nas and the intensity of Hatebreed

I'm a mutated metal head rap spitter, Dio with the horns, MOP with the gat trigger
I am a unique artist with a hybrid sound, combining the passion of metal legend Ronnie James Dio with the rawness of rap duo M.O.P.

If I gotta spit, then I'm a shoot a rhyme, If its head banger, then I'm a loose my mind
Whether I'm rapping or singing, I put all my energy and emotion into my music, especially if it's a high-energy head-bang worthy song

This aint a phase you got to understand, This wasn't put together, this is what I am
Street metal is not just a trend or gimmick, it's a reflection of who I am as an artist and person

Nothing you could do could ever change me, if you're going to hate then you can hate me
I am confident in my style and won't be swayed by critics or haters

Nothing you could say could ever change me, if you're going to hate then you can hate me
My identity and music are not up for debate or alteration, and I urge critics and haters to leave me be

Its rage against the machine head, its all the busta' rhymes jay z said
Street metal incorporates elements of political activism and social issues, like the band Rage Against The Machine, as well as the lyrical prowess of rappers Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z

It's the white zombie my black thoughts convey, cause Run & Aerosmith said walk this way!
My music is a mix of dark themes and powerful imagery, like the band White Zombie, with the crossover success of rap group Run-DMC and rock band Aerosmith's hit song 'Walk This Way'

This is my heart, my soul, my fight, this is my way this is my life
My music is a reflection of my passion, my beliefs, and my struggles, and it's the path I've chosen for my life
