The Man With No Audience Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never looked the part, plus I never fit in
Always resided on the other side of women
A constant sinner with blurred vision, the words
Paint a perfect picture for the worst within. You think
You're better now? I think not. You're cursed again
When it's working into your skin but you search for Zen
Yes, I personify the evil of men
It's absurd, the very notion that we're good in the end
‘Cause when a civilized society turns violent [?]
Not the strongest survive, but the mentally vacant that squeeze. Just the
Evil that men do, the darkest that tends to
Drag you back down to the same Hell that sent you
It's a price for your spot, you're not a God, your rent's due
Whack rappers I'm allergic to like achoo
Stick with you forever like a motherfucking tattoo
See you got soldiers. Well, mine can attack too

[Hook] (x2)
It's not the man in the middle of the room
With an audience alluding that the end is coming soon
It's the one in the corner with the shadows all around him
Tried to find God, but it's the Devil that found him

[Verse 2]
I used to leave suicide notes next to me when I sleep
I'd rather people think I killed myself than went and OD'd
And the reason that I tell you this is so you can see
That I've been to the dark, I know that it knows me
Yet still, I'm an insurgent with stern purpose
We are children of the Matrix, we're draped in murder
There's no mercy in the heart of God, just a roofie
For the whole world with both sides set to defy the odds
That's the recipe for disaster. One part energy
Another part miseducation and passion
Only enough empathy to ration small portions
For the populace, they hold the rest for ransom
Answers don't seem to come so easily, but when
You're deceased and cease to be, the truth secedes seamlessly
Manipulate our DNA to make this beat, the mindless war machines
Fighting for freedom, and that there's the irony
[Hook] (x2)
It's not the man in the middle of the room
With an audience alluding that the end is coming soon
It's the one in the corner with the shadows all around him
Tried to find God, but it's the Devil that found him

[Interlude]
And if you have Heaven
It's a place where you're rewarded for your goodness
And Hell is a place where you're punished for your evil
Then you sort of have control of the population

[Verse 3]
Other rappers out there are having a contest
Who can sound the most ignorant.
This is not progress
This is just a phase. Let's get back to the old
Wanna see an OG? Turn around and G-O

This is where the strings get severed severely
Master of puppets controls everything clearly
They don't want to hear me, so they steer clear of me
Yeah, they see me coming and they run in fear of me
You think you got it figured out? I think you know nada
I raise the dead like “Kunda, Astratta”
You wanna get me to stop? I say, “Make me”
You motherfuckers sound generic, Marshmallow Mateys
[Hook] (x2)
It's not the man in the middle of the room
With an audience alluding that the end is coming soon
It's the one in the corner with the shadows all around him
Tried to find God, but it's the Devil that found him

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
