Fallin' too fast to prepare for this

Trippin' in the world could be dangerous

Everybody circlin' is vulturous

Negative, nepotist

Everybody waitin' for the fall of man

Everybody prayin' for the end of times

Everybody hopin' they could be the one

I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip

Run me like a racehorse

Pull me like a ripcord

Break me down and build me up

I wanna be the slip, slip

Word upon your lip, lip

Letter that you rip, rip

Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do whatever it takes

'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains

Whatever it takes (oh)

Yeah, take me to the top

I'm ready for whatever it takes (oh)

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes

Always had a fear of being typical

Lookin' at my body, feelin' miserable

Always hangin' on to the visual

I wanna be invisible

Lookin' at my years like a martyrdom

Everybody needs to be a part of 'em

Never be enough, I'm the prodigal son

I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip

Run me like a racehorse

Pull me like a ripcord

Break me down and build me up

I wanna be the slip, slip

Word upon your lip, lip

Letter that you rip, rip

Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes (oh)

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do whatever it takes (oh)

'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains

Whatever it takes (oh)

Yeah, take me to the top

I'm ready for whatever it takes (oh)

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes

Hypocritical, egotistical

Don't wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical

Workin' hard on somethin' that I'm proud of, out of the box

An epoxy to the world and the vision we've lost

I'm an apostrophe

I'm just a symbol to remind you that there's more to see

I'm just a product of the system, a catastrophe

And yet, a masterpiece, and yet, I'm half-diseased

And when I am deceased

At least I'll go down to the grave and die happily

And leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee

I do what it takes

Whatever it takes (oh)

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do whatever it takes (oh)

'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains

Whatever it takes (oh)

Yeah, take me to the top

I'm ready for whatever it takes (oh)

'Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

I do what it takes
