Rebel Songtext
von Charles the Individual

Check that pulse when the bass pumps
Hit you with a jolt that will make you wanna (stand up)
Feel that wave from the front to the back
Everybody lemme see you put your (hands up)
It′s come time to decide if I'm taking what′s mine
So I guess I had to (man up)
I'm a rebel with a cause, and I'm speaking to the world
You ain′t ready for the shit that I got (planned up)
I′m a rebel I don't stay in my lane
I went dancing with the devil now I′m playing the game
Take it to another level with what's going through my brain
Plus I get so existential I don′t even know my name!
Synchronize the tempo cuz I mean it when I say shit
Scribble manifesto level lyrics in the basement
Let that speaker echo when I throw them raps in it
Cuz I'm living every moment as if it′s my last minute, yo
In a world where hate reigns, in order to stay sane,
I'm living with a soul to maintain
I'm wearing my confessions it′s as clear at the days plain,
These people looking at me like I severed a main vein


But fuck what they say, cuz I ain′t even confident
That they can relate to the same pain
So I'll write a campaign, then wait eight day regain rage
Then hit the main stage after giving a fake name
I remain strange, you can tell my brain
Ain′t plain when I spray straight flames
And I may stay late see I play a long gam,
I'm the type to plan ahead and have a rain date saved
I don′t need a chain, see the motivation for when
I say shit is more than just a pay rate raise
Cuz the aim ain't fame
Man I do this for the truth
I already broke loose and the aim ain′t changed
Check that pulse when the bass pumps
Hit you with a jolt that will make you wanna (stand up)
Feel that wave from the front to the back
Everybody lemme see you put your (hands up)
It's come time to decide if I'm taking what′s mine
So I guess I had to (man up)
I′m a rebel with a cause, and I'm speaking to the world
You ain′t ready for the shit that I got (planned up)
Check that pulse when the bass pumps
Hit you with a jolt that will make you wanna (stand up)
Feel that wave from the front to the back
Everybody lemme see you put your (hands up)
It's come time to decide if I′m taking what's mine
So I guess I had to (man up)
I′m a rebel with a cause, and I'm speaking to the world
You ain't ready for the shit that I got (planned up)
Spit bars soul ambition,
Listen to your heart till you know your mission
Hit that stage with a dope ass written, dreams die hard
Better hold that vision
Recognizing my condition now I′m in
This position to spit efficient and have people listen
So I′m in the business of persistent
Commitment so fuck the system
I'm committed to the fight to bring the light to the living
Now I′m a Dope rapper with no masters
Only ruler that I recognize is on a protractor
My whole back hurts, cuz I'm raising up the bar
And I′m embracing my anxiety so I can flow faster
Someone better call the pastor
The mad hatter is back with a dreamcatcher
I'm going down the rabbit hole
Already bit the apple with Adam
So when I think about the past
I don′t want to go backwards
Don't brag, trash bag, hashtag, black flag
Up all night thinking, jet lagged, leaking
wipe it off with a tie dye sweat rag
Just a hippy with a bit of an edge
A renegade on a train with a bunch of dead heads
Singing "Casey Jones" and we laying low to
Cook up soul food then we breaking bread
Fucking right I think I need to take a BREATH
Living life at light speed Imma do it till DEATH
I'll give it everything I got until I ain′t got nothing LEFT
I′ll admit that I'm addicted and I may be OBSESSED
But fuck it I′m a sucker for the chance so embrace it
Think of words, throw it on the page and erase it
If it don't work, rephrase it
Run the beat back, replay it
TILL I GET IT RIGHT
I′ll be up all night thinking of rhymes
To blow minds like dynamite
So fuck a 9 to 5, I'll grind behind the mic
And climb the heights, man this is my life
I"MA LIVE IT
Repeat, hold that vision, and that′s the truth
I go psycho in the booth like I got nothing left to lose
Let me introduce, if you didn't have a clue
My name Charles the Individual, and this is what I do
Check that pulse when the bass pumps
Hit you with a jolt that will make you wanna (stand up)
Feel that wave from the front to the back
Everybody lemme see you put your (hands up)
It's come time to decide if I′m taking what′s mine
So I guess I had to (man up)
I'm a rebel with a cause, and I′m speaking to the world
You ain't ready for the shit that I got (planned up)
