Rage, Rage

[Verse 1]
I know I can’t swallow my rage
And follow the craze
Spending all of my days
Hollow and dazed
Lost in a haze
In the walls of a maze
I want to amaze
But I’m caught in my ways
Feeling locked in a cage
It’s all just a race
I don’t wanna embrace
Being dropped in a grave
So I’m going out in a blaze
I won’t go gentle into that night
I’ma hold the pencil, and the graphite
I’ma be scraping off on the page
When that light’s turned off and it’s fading
I hear a lot of ‘em saying
“That’s life, there’s no stopping the aging”
But I’ma be raging

[Hook]
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging
Can’t work a job for some wages
I’ma bе raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging

[Verse 2]
I’m rеmaining calm and able
I'm erasing awful labels
Wipe the shavings off the table
Still, there are days with this gaping hole in me
Where I may need a hero
But I swear I ain’t worth saving, no
I don't wear a cape, but I'm capable
I don’t care if fate’s inescapable
Life is temporary
Yes I'm very well aware that death won’t spare me, yet is very necessary
I confess I’m scared of when they’ll carry and prepare me dead, to share the cemetery, getting buried
Even at the end, I swear that when I’m barely present
In a bed, and fairly sedentary
Resting there, decrepit, weary, septuagenarian, and carefree
I won’t invent cars, like in Mannheim
But I’ll stay ahead like Japan time
Before I’ve been barred
From my damn life, I’ma slant rhymes
And bend bars like I’m Luke Cage
‘Fore I’ve went far to a new place
I’ma end hard, like a shoelace
Or a dense star, going to rage

[Hook]
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging
Work a job for some wages
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging
Work a job for some wages
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging

[Verse 3]
This a reminder with every line, word
And letter I'm screaming, yeah, man
I’ll forever be seeing a heavenly gleam in
Every demon and enemy scheming
Compliments flatter, whatever the reason
But confidence matters incredibly, meaning
Your chances are better believin’
You better believe in yourself
Or you better be leavin’
Whoo! Man, I love cleverly speaking
And with a positive message
Man I'm up every weekend
Planning a lot that's impressive
Not much I cop is expensive
Don’t give a damn about cheddar, we cheesing
And thoughts, there’s a lot I’m expressing
Thank God I’m so odd, I can never be even

[Hook]
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging
Work a job for some wages
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging
Work a job for some wages
I’ma be raging, yeah
I’ma be raging
War's what I’mma be waging
