Lyrics

[Intro]

Whoa, oh-oh

Whoa, oh-oh

Whoa, oh-oh

Whoa

[Verse 1]

I'm waking up to ash and dust

I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust

I'm breathing in the chemicals

[PreChorus]

I'm breaking in, shaping up

Then checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse, whoa

[Chorus]

I'm wakin' up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

[PostChorus]

Whoa-oh, whoa

I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa-oh, whoa

I'm radioactive, radioactive

[Verse 2]

I raise my flags, dye my clothes

It's a revolution, I suppose

We're painted red to fit right in, whoa (Whoa)

[PreChorus]

I'm breaking in, shaping up

Then checking out on the prison bus

This is it, the apocalypse, whoa

[Chorus]

I'm wakin' up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

[PostChorus]

Whoa-oh, whoa

I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa-oh, whoa

I'm radioactive, radioactive

[Bridge]

All systems go, the sun hasn't died

Deep in my bones, straight from inside

[Verse 3]

Bury me alive, bury me with pride

Bury me with berries, that forbidden fruit and cherry wine

Thank you berry much, but tonight's my night and I'm Barry Bonds

Swingin' for the fences, barbaric Kendrick in idle time

Everything in life's subject to change, change whip, change grind

Change clothes, change opinions, right before I change my mind

I don't really know your business, been in there since I was bendin' Lego blocks

Now you tell the world about me, dry snitch

Tater tots on my shotgun, now I gotta pop one at the stars

Sky's the limit, I gotta finish as the first rapper on Mars

Mark my word, I'ma make my mark, even when they start their Martial Law

Even when these Martians alienate, my mental state is still at heart

Fuck, look in my eyes, tell me I died, tell me I tried to compromise

Tell me you love me, tell me that I don't give a fuck and can barely decide

Wishin' good luck on my enemies, all of my energy go to the almighty God

I could drown in a bottle of Hennessy, fuck your amenities, I'm gettin' better with time, ah

[Chorus]

I'm wakin' up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my systems blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

[PostChorus]

Whoa-oh, whoa

I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa-oh, whoa

I'm radioactive, radioactive

[Outro]

I'm radioactive, radioactive
