Imagine Dragons — Radioactive Live at the Grammy Awards 2014

[Intro: Dan Reynolds] I'm wakin' up to ash and dust I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust I'm breathin' in the chemicals I'm breaking in, shaping up, checking out on the prison bus This is it, the apocalypse [Intro: Kendrick Lamar] YA! YA! YA! YA! [Hook] "Man down, where you from, nigga?" "Fuck who you know! Where you from, my nigga?" "Where your grandma stay, huh, my nigga?" "This m.A.A.d city I run, my nigga" [Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar] Brace yourself, I'll take you on a trip down memory lane This is not a rap on how I'm slingin' crack or move cocaine This is cul-de-sac and plenty Cognac and major pain Not the drill sergeant, but the stress that weighin' on your brain It was me, L Boog, and Yan Yan YG Lucky ride down Rosecrans It got ugly, wavin' yo' hand out the window – check yourself! Uh, Warriors and Conans Hope euphoria can slow dance With society, the driver seat the first one to get killed Seen a light-skinned nigga with his brains blown out At the same burger stand where *beep* hang out Now this is not a tape recorder sayin' that he did it But ever since that day, I was lookin' at him different That was back when I was nine, Joey packed the nine Pakistan on every porch is fine, we adapt to crime Pack a van with four guns at a time With the sliding door, fuck is up? Fuck you shootin' for if you ain't walkin' up, you fuckin' punk? Pickin' up the fuckin' pump, pickin' off you suckers Suck a dick or die or sucker punch A wall of bullets comin' from AK's, AR's, "Ayy, y'all, duck!" That's what Momma said when we was eatin' the free lunch Aw man, goddamn, all hell broke loose You killed my cousin back in '94, fuck yo' truce! Now crawl your head in that noose You wind up dead on the news Ain't no peace treaty, just pieces BG's up to pre-approve Bodies on top of bodies, IV's on top of IV's Obviously the coroner between the sheets like the Isleys When you hop on that trolley, make sure your colors correct Make sure you're corporate or they'll be callin' your mother collect They say the governor collect all of our taxes, except When we in traffic and tragic happens, that shit ain't no threat You movin' backwards if you suggest that you sleep with a TEC Go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial, I guess Lets get It! [Hook] "Man down, where you from, nigga?" "I said, where your grandma stay, huh, my nigga?" "This m.A.A.d city I run, my nigga" [Intro: Kendrick Lamar] If Pirus and Crips all got along They'd probably gun me down by the end of this song Seem like the whole city go against me Every time I'm in the street, I say— YA! YA! YA! YA! [Hook: Dan Reynolds] 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 [YAWK! YAWK! YAWK! YAWK!] Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive [Bridge: Dan Reynolds+Kendrick Lamar] All systems go [Systems go] The sun it hasn't died [Hasn't died] Deep in my bones [In my bones] Straight from inside [Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar] 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 yah business, been in there since I was bendin' Lego blocks Now you tell the world about me, dry snitch Tater tots on my shotgun, 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, when they start their Martial Law When these Martians alienate, my mental state is still at heart Lord, 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 really care and can barely decide Wishin' good luck on my enemies, energy go to the almighty God Drown in a bottle of Hennessy, with no amenities I'm gettin' better with time Aaah! [Hook: Dan Reynolds] 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 Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive Whoa, whoa, I'm radioactive, radioactive [Outro: Kendrick Lamar] Can you feel me with time, can you feel me Can you feel me with time, can you Hey Can you feel me with time Oh Can you feel me with time, can you Can you feel me with time, can you feel me Can you feel me with time [Dan Reynolds] Radioactive, radioactive
