[Verse: Apollo]
Pick up the controller
Press A to play
It’s been a long day
And I’m feeling so gray
I’m tryna shoot stab steal and kill the pain away
Someone called me a fag today
And another lil nigga said my dad was gay
Some other fucking girl said I’d never get laid
So I arrived at home and without further delay

Pull out the gold M4 on their ass
Civilians getting killed all I could do was laugh
Bombs going off just give me more cash
Who knew terrorism paid when it’s all fun and games?
Its strange, all I see is blood on the screen
But can’t stomach images of blood on the leaves
I really do hate what I see
Does that mean that I really hate me?
Maybe I just like living in a dream
Where lives are unlimited, pain is diminished
They tell you a mission, and restart the blemishes
And if you did it right they'll slow-mo the finishes
When you can see everything happen
Death doesn’t seem all that tragic
If this were real life its magic
Just imagine, just imagine

Press a letter
I’m controlling the weather
Better tether your umbrella to your lapel sir
Cause u light as a feather
Sign your header like u reporting for class
Cause the school I just created
Is now kicking your ass
Understand
I feel they playing games with my head
I never wanted much control
Just the choice to choose my own hand
They forcing me to pause to fill the mould of a man
But I wanted something more
Can I be a legend instead?
I’m tired of taking lives I’m tryna give back to the world
This art that I possess is just prayer in a different form
Every time I write I know I’m speaking from my soul
They want me just to watch but I been learning those controls
Them cheat codes that you bought ain’t even working no more
You never thought I could make it but now I’m opening doors
Ay you, I’m tryna tell you all I get is the gold
Man, you think you doing something while you sitting at home
Just go
