Lyrics Back Against the Wall - S.A.L.T

Must've experienced the force called karma
I popped a pill now I feel a lot calmer
Try my best to avoid all of the drama
But it keeps coming back so I'll move farther
Farther away from the pain and the people
Have to admit that my mental is feeble
If I stay longer, I think I might lose it
While I'm sure it's still intact, lemme use it
I was inspired and opened a book
Flipped through the pages, didn't know where to look
Too bad an exam was all that it took
For me to search every cranny and nook
For something good I could feed to my mental
That I'm this smart is not coincidental
Hear how I compliment the instrumental
See how my tongue is in tune with my dental

See how my tongue makes tunes
Y'all wanted smoke but y'all can't handle fumes
I could make an empire just from ruins
This is a rune
Made into tones, tunes
Was on my own but then all o' y'all came at me
Picking pitchforks and torches as y'all did
Verbally assaulting and throwing stones at me
But I'm not complaining, I'm not a kid
I'm not a kid so I could make you bleed
I am built different, a whole different breed
I know what I'm doing, will do and I did
Don't be stupid, listen, let your thoughts feed
I have to admit that you did make me bleed
More than a few times, actually, what a deed
But I'm not giving up yet 'cause I'm Steve
I've got a few couple tricks up my sleeve
Who'd be the conqueror? What you believe?
Whose hand will be in the air? Who will grieve?
Who is the owner? Who is the thief?
Who deserves justice? Who will get grief?
Who will be locked up? Who will be free?
I'd be the good guy, who would you be?
Don't tell me you'd be the opposite
Don't tell me you'd be the guy who'd be opping me
You know what's up with me
Nobody's topping me
Nobody's talking
I'm up now, lucky me
I'm not depressed and I'm not the first
But believe me, I'll be one of the best
I've been tried already, put to the test
It's safe to say, I'm not like the rest
I mean it, I'm serious, they're joking, they jest
Stood when faced with danger, a gun to my chest
And I said to their faces that I won't shake
No matter what they do to me, I won't break
I stood my ground and remained unfazed
Like Lil Uzi Vert and The Weeknd but on a week day
Gotta get ready, tomorrow's a big day
Hopefully I'd still be alive if I pray
Hopefully I'd live to fight another day
The battle has happened, the war's on the way

Must've experienced the force called karma
I popped a pill now I feel a lot calmer
Try my best to avoid all of the drama
But it keeps coming back so I'll move farther
Farther away from the pain and the people
Have to admit that my mental is feeble
If I stay longer, I think I might lose it
While I'm sure it's still intact, lemme use it
I was inspired and opened a book
Flipped through the pages, didn't know where to look
Too bad an exam was all that it took
For me to search every cranny and nook
For something good I could feed to my mental
That I'm this smart is not coincidental
Hear how I compliment the instrumental
See how my tongue is in tune with my dental
