lyrics

Volcano on the verge of eruption
Turnt up
Can’t tell me nothing
It’s lit
Too late for discussion
Straight heat
‘Bout to cause destruction
I don’t care about your assumptions if you don’t care about repercussions
New fire is in production
But y’all really don’t want none
Volcano at the point of explosion
No thoughts, just raw emotions
Can’t stop what has awoken
All the pressure has set it in motion
My heart is like stone that’s broken
Like lava, my mind is molten
One too many heated discussions
Volcano on the verge of eruption

I’ve been sitting on this heat for too long
The pressure has built up
Now it’s too strong
Past the boiling point
Too late to move on
Just about to melt down
Ready to lose calm
Don’t know or can’t remember what transformed these thoughts into embers
But when I look back, I just re-enter that same mind state that fuels my temper
And then I’m stuck in a cycle
It’s vicious
All of it sparks my anger
With everyone gaslighting, it feels like a gas chamber
You may think it’s a heat wave
But it’s really a heat age
Staring off in a deep gaze
But they’re really in deep rage
Got my people confused
Don’t know how to improve
All the tech that they use is designed to seduce
I won't start on the news
I get highly amused
But I still can’t defuse all the tension from misinformation
The normalization of polarization and self-preservation over community
Mind on my monetization
Too many complications
So many interruptions
Status is on fire
Headed for self destruction
Maybe you think I’ll cool off
Or maybe you just don’t know what’s bubbling deep inside
I’m feeling like a volcano

Volcano on the verge of eruption
Turnt up
Can’t tell me nothing
It’s lit
Too late for discussion
Straight heat
‘Bout to cause destruction
I don’t care about your assumptions if you don’t care about repercussions
New fire is in production
But y’all really don’t want none
Volcano at the point of explosion
No thoughts, just raw emotions
Can’t stop what has awoken
All the pressure has set it in motion
My heart is like stone that’s broken
Like lava, my mind is molten
One too many heated discussions
Volcano on the verge of eruption

My pyroclastic flow let’s ‘em know that this ain't just for show
It gets hot
These flames throw
And this glow, you should notice
You should woah
You should stop
You should go
Tried to warn you
It’s too late
Volcano ’bout to blow
Regardless if people believe me or they ignore me completely
Even the ones who don’t see me, get ready to feel me deeply
Hotheaded in all directions
Honestly, all aggression
Too many heated discussions
These are some burning questions
How does anxiety build up so quietly
Moving so silently
Killing so violently
Why does society celebrate rivalry and praise these dynasties who end our privacy
They’re taking our rights and not rightfully
Watching our moves so excitedly
Data mining unitedly
Just some of the reasons I’m fiery
Never been more connected
The tools are state of the art
Regardless of all the connections, we couldn’t be further apart
The world has got me smoking
I hope you don’t think I’m joking
My heart is like stone that’s broken
Get ready to feel the explosion

Volcano on the verge of eruption
Turnt up
Can’t tell me nothing
It’s lit
Too late for discussion
Straight heat
‘Bout to cause destruction
I don’t care about your assumptions if you don’t care about repercussions
New fire is in production
But y’all really don’t want none
Volcano at the point of explosion
No thoughts, just raw emotions
Can’t stop what has awoken
All the pressure has set it in motion
My heart is like stone that’s broken
Like lava, my mind is molten
One too many heated discussions
Volcano on the verge of eruption
