Not Your Father's Son

Some of us come up from the bottom
Not me, I started underneath
Between me and my father, we got the Chthonic beef
Wanna keep me locked up? You gotta kill me
And if you wanna play the heel, I'll be your Achilles

Can't keep me in the dark, sorry Mama Nyx
Like an Olympic Salmon, I'm swimmin' up the Styx
All the way, ain't nothin' gonna stop me
Sorry Cerberus, but you're barkin' up the wrong tree

Doggonnit, I want out this house
I got two hot feet, and I'm about to bounce
I'm sick of being grounded in Hades, damn
Pops, you're a god, but you're not a ladies man

You never got consent from Persephone
She already left your ass, so resentfully
'Cause hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Or so you thought, before your son was born

With mountains to climb, and dungeons to run
You might be divine, but you'll find you're not your father's son
No fate knows what you'll become
But thank God, you're not your father's son

Cheron's ferry may only go one way
But I'll paddle back up shit's creek someday
I'm the Prince of Hades, I can take you under
Uncle Zeus trained me to bring the thunder

So I'll rain down doom like a godly storm
I was taught by Ares what a god is for
Athena, I don't need defense, you got me bored
I would drop a shield just to draw my sword

I'll dive right in, just like Poseidon
Now your behind is gonna meet my trident
When I earn a boon, I deserve the finest
Dionysus, provide the wine list

I know Thanatos, I'm a friend of death
And Hypnos, I'm a legend on which you haven't slept
'Cause I put the work in, thanks for the help, Skelly
"If they pick a bone with you, go give 'em hell, Z"

With mountains to climb, and dungeons to run
You might be divine, but you'll find you're not your father's son
No fate knows what you'll become
But thank God, you're not your father's son

From the pits of Tartarus, to the Elysium Fields
No sleep 'til Olympus, and the peak is the deal
'Cause the throne of Hades ain't a seat that I'm feelin'
And believe Zagreus gon' be keepin' it real

Even if I'm mythological, I am diabolical
Causing all my father's hair to fall out the follicles
The surface is all I wanna see
And nothing in the Underworld is stoppin' me

Fight and flight is my philosophy
'Cause I'm no Homer, but I'm on my Odyssey
Sculpted like a god, and I'll work that
Aphrodite even taught me how to thirst trap

Now I make 'em all weak, like I'm Hercules
What you call furies are for sure groupies
No tragedy here, my family's makin' amends
I'm the reason Orpheus is singing again

With mountains to climb, and dungeons to run
You might be divine, but you'll find you're not your father's son
No fate knows what you'll become
But thank God, you're not your father's son
