about
I used Middle Eastern instruments on this hip hop track to add a nice folk feel to it, and it’s got a dark and aggressive atmosphere that makes it perfect to start the album after the introductory track, as it really makes an impact on the first listen.
The lyrics tackle the concept of “envy” through the idea that, no matter how nice we seem or how friendly we usually are, eventually we can all be fake, and we can all talk behind someone’s back and be mean to someone else too. Sometimes we might not even realize while sometimes we might be so mad it almost feels like we enjoy acting like that, but the point is that we can all go through something that can makes us look like a snake even if we aren’t like that.
lyrics
How'd I get so high from just one lie?
I don't wanna come down now
I'm tired of being with the losing team
Now I got the drive
How can it be so bad if it feels so good?
I can't stop it, I'll just knock on wood
It's killing me just like I knew it would
But I feel so alive
Oh, oh, oh
But I feel so alive
Oh, oh, oh
You know I'm bad news, I could make you cry
But I know you like it, I know you like it
You know I'm always chasing all the highs
We're all snakes, we're all snakes
We're all snakes (nanana)
We're all snakes (nanana)
We're all snakes
Karma's gonna get us all
We'd rather die than say we're done
But I ain't here to play no more
You be you and I'll be the bitch who wins
How can it be so bad if it feels so good?
I can't stop it, I'll just knock on wood
It's killing me just like I knew it would
But I feel so alive
Oh, oh, oh
But I feel so alive
Oh, oh, oh
You know I'm bad news, I could make you cry
But I know you like it, I know you like it
You know I'm always chasing all the highs
We're all snakes, we're all snakes
We're all snakes (nanana)
We're all snakes (nanana)
We're all snakes
You know I'm bad news, I could make you cry
But I know you like it, I know you like it
You know I'm always chasing all the highs
We're all snakes, we're all snakes
We're all snakes (nanana)
We're all snakes (nanana)
We're all snakes
I could really make you cry
We're all snakes
I'm always chasing all the highs
We're all snakes
