I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
The Snake and the Batman
Let's go
Snake and the bat, the haven that awakened you cap
From takin' a nap, shapin' a nation, hopin' they can adapt
To placin' the strap at Satan, a blatant attack
Hating's domination waitin' to be shaken, facin' Yates in the trap
Droppin' the faction that's lackin' African passion
When rapping crap is in action but the black assassin is happenin'
Laughin' 'cause I make 'em all a has-been
When I'm mashin', everybody that I'm passin'
Is gaspin' 'cause I'm elevation, Aspen
Get it brackin' in a Tecca Nina fashion
Super wordy
If you can serve me like a booth for thirty
But I'm Ruger, squirty
Language and this loofah dirty
I don't see another artist on a nigga level
When I get to go to get it started, I'ma hit the pedal
Anybody wanna be departed, come and get the rebel
That'll really be retarded like you're fuckin' with the devil
But you're not though, it's Picasso with a afro
You the cop, yo, that's soft, I say, "Gestapo"
Cotton swabs, we choppin' gods
And we're forsaking your wack jams
Making your rap fans follow Snake and the Batman
(Snake and the Batman)
(Snake and the Batman)
Tech N9ne is a man
That's held high by the fans
So everybody please stand
For the Snake and the Batman
Tech N9ne is a man
Who does just what he plans
To make fans in all the lands
He's a Snake and a Batman
More T-N9ne
For he rhymes and glory shines
Gather 'round for story time
Let's go
Snake and the bat, the haven that awakened you cap
From takin' a nap, shapin' a nation, hopin' they can adapt
