Actual Animal

History is written by the ones who win the war
And that's for sure
Overwhelm, divide and conquer
No consideration what we're fighting for

There's the edge (there's the edge)
We're on the brink (We're on the brink)
Barely here (Barely here)
Not quite extinct (Not quite extinct)
But, not far off (But, not far off)
Numbered days (Numbered days)
Vanishing (Vanishing)
Within the haze (Within the haze)

And this is feeling too familiar
Almost like we've been here before
'Cause I'm an actual animal
In case you didn't know
And the blood will flow
We'll be reaping what we sow
Yeah, I'm an animal
And I've lost control
Yes, the story's old
Countless times that it's been told

Taking what's not ours
Because it's there
Because we can
Because we must
When you've taken everything there is to take
Then all you're left with is just dust
And you'll be standing (You'll be standing)
At the end (At the end)
What was the cost? (What was the cost?)
What did you win? (What did you win?)
There's nothing left (There's nothing left)
Of consequence (of consequence)
Just a husk (Just a desk)
Barren and dead (Barren and dead)

And this is feeling too familiar
Almost like we've been here before
'Cause I'm an actual animal
In case you didn't know
And the blood will flow
We'll be reaping what we sow
Yeah, I'm an animal
And I've lost control
Yes, the story's old
Countless times that it's been told

Domesticated is so overrated
Play this song when they say come along till they hate it
Just released to the streets, I'm a mutt with a beat
Unleashing the beast, on the hunt for some meat
This is three ring action, don't know what y'all planning
When I start expanding like a rapping Ganon
Wanna run with a sloth? Yo, I could be lazier
Ex called me sly as a fox, only crazier
Bane of a neat freak, she on the hot seat
Shaking the chain link, hope that she pick me
I am pretending I'm a higher being
Nothing can shake manifest destiny
Never throw the race, no way, I throw punches
Ruling over every blade of grass the light touches
Overrule judges, ending discussions
Fat cat living to max, I'm so luscious
Like it raw never been a dispute
I never felt that it was worth it living under a boot
Dodging heat when ya shoot, I got a new attitude
What you expect me to do? I'm just an ape in a suit

Yeah, believe me I'm an animal
In case you didn't know
And the blood will flow
We'll be reaping what we sow
Yeah, I'm an animal
And I've lost control
Yes, the story's old
Countless times that it's been told
Yeah, I'm an animal
Wild and difficult
I'm the end result
Try to tame me - I'll revolt
