For some reasonthe whale just ahtook a different approach to whatwhat is was gonna doAll the world's a stageOOhhA Seaworld trainer is recovering todayafter a terrifying ordeal in front of a horrified audienceOOhhAll the world's a stageOOhhWhen he was at the surface, he didn't panicHe didn't thrashHe didn't screamMaybe he's just built that wayOhh OhhLook, try and ascertain thisSwim around in circles, do the same shitWelcome to my circus, to my slaveshipI'm a servant to the devil, to my payslipEverybody's telling me to smile morePreaching politics, fuck 'em, I'll be Guy FawkesRacking up the haters, man I need 'em, give me five moreAt least I know I'm winning, I'm on fine formSee I don't give a fuck if they don't like meI'm a motherfucking King and they should knight meYou don't like my fuckin' arrogance, fight meI'll knock your head off your neck before my flight leavesWhere am I going to?Places rolling into oneI'm an Orca encapsulated, I'm TilikumI need to skill up and chill out and put J Dilla onI'm close to breaking and killing now that my kin is goneThey're all goneIt's just meThey're all goneIt's just meAnd all these leeches on my dickAll these preachers on my backCan't you see that I am sick?Can't you see why I could snap?Look, I'm amazing at my job, that is gospel, that's a factBut there's some people skills I obviously lackI'm a wild killer, push me bro, I'm warning yaYou're gonna wish you never touched me when I'm flooring yaI'll sink my jaws into your neck and ring the coronerFor puttin' my ass on stage up every nightCoz I make more than yaAll the world's a stage, I'm in the largest fuckin' cellI make millions, but I ain't rockin' like I feltI'm down at Seaworld, eh, somebody's [rider fell?]If you won't save a killer whale, I'll stomp your heart [and sharp?]In the wild I never hurt nobody, still ya slap me down, still [desert balls? ?] from meCould've purged on that body, got the thirst for the bloodGet the fuck up out my face or I will murder somebodyThey're all goneIt's just meThey're all goneIt's just me
