Villain

[Verse]

Yeah, I'm the most underrated, beloved, and I'm hated

I let 'em debate it while I take the crown

Do what I gotta do, that's how I'll make it

And I do not follow along with the crowd

Yeah, I get up on the map and I do it my way

Like no matter what it takes, at a whole new pace

And I run through the game 'til they're out of focus

About to make everybody look so atrocious

Yeah, couldn't be me, couldn't be me

Let a label take control of the money or my goals, no, I got big drеams

Everything I do for the squad, but if you cross Josh

You gon' end up cut for thе team

My beat cinematic, got choirs and strings

It's sounding like scores out of Lord of the Rings

Yeah, I was gone for a minute, but they pull me back

Now it's like The Return of the King

Yeah, yeah, I'm back for blood

I see the state of the game and I've had enough

And all these trash, little rappers really adding up

They got clout, but the money ain't stacking up

'Cause the labels that own them take all of their money

Their winnings all dried up, they turned into bums

That's why in a year, they'll be out of the running

And I'll still be here in control of my funds

I say what I want 'cause nobody control me

People type hate 'cause they don't really know me

Yeah, I started from nothing, now look what I own

You can say what you want, but you can't call me phony

Like drugs, women, cars, it's all that they talk about

I'm sick of hearing it, I wanna crop it out

Zombies stay cheering it, there ain't no stopping now

I feel like Negan, Lucille when I'm dropping now

You bet for average, when I bet, I stomp 'em out

I'm making classics, you making what's popping now

I never care about the traffic or likes and I'm taking that to the coffin now

I don't gotta answer to no-one, my face still the same when the show done

I'd still be the man if I had no funds, y'all wearing that mask like shoguns

It's crazy, they calling me trash and then

Turn around and start bumping some Yeat

It's crazy, I made it off talent and Ice Spice made it jiggling cheeks

That ain't misogyny, just how it is, stripping on stage and they sell it to kids

Labels manipulate numbers and clicks, the fall of Rome got nothing on this

Y'all ruining rap, made me embarrassed, ashamed this my path

I stand for a message, y'all dance for a bag

I just don't get it like, "Like really, what do you guys even stand for?"

Like what's the message when I'm hearing those songs

I'm left with questions, when I get up on a track

I'm like a reverend, take my mistakes, turn 'em all to lessons

But you ain't saying nothing, it's so depressing

All-filling, no substance, same way Starbucks, icy beverage

Why you disrespecting that type of blessing?

Just call it how I see it, no second-guessing

Don't follow the crowd, they're just not appealing

There's so many clowns and they keep on winning

I don't want the clout, I'm too busy living

I don't want the crown, I'm too busy building

I'm leading the lost, what the Lord is willing

The Book of Josh, that name is so fitting

The world going down, that's just how I'm feeling

When you point it out, they call you a villain (Villain, villain)
