Joyner Lucas is not your typical rapper, not even close. His songs are not romantic or cheesy, they’re raw, broken, real, and sometimes straight-up chaotic. His new upcoming track with Big Sean titled “Active” is a perfect example of that signature honesty. Set to be the fifteenth track on his upcoming third studio album, ADHD 2, dropping on July 18, 2025.
Joyner Lucas opens up with some intense reflections about childhood trauma, mental health, systemic neglect, and how those wounds morph into violence and dominance. Big Sean, on the other hand, shows off a more calculated, sharp-edged flow, which is cool-headed but lethal, full of wordplay and quiet menace. Together, they’re not just rapping, they’re letting the world know they’re built differently and not to be tested. Scroll down for Active lyrics below, and experience his passion for music.
Lyrics of Active by Joyner Lucas & Big Sean
[Verse 1: Joyner Lucas, Big Sean]
Look What You Niggas Done Started
Just Say What I Wanted, But You Out In Forces, Ayy
You Know The Shit Go Retarded
I Might Just Hit Up Your Block On A Short Bus, Ayy
I Took The Dinner With Jigga
Instead Of The Money, I Needed A Shortcut, Ayy
Give Me Advice How To Quit At Mcdonalds
So I Can Get Into The Forbes List, Ayy
I Don’t Want Sit With No Therapist
All They Gon’ Do Is Just Fill Me With Poison, Uh
Book Me Another Appointment, Uh
All I Keep Hearin’ Was Noises, Uh
Ain’t Nothin’ Worse Than Goin’ Through Shit As A Kid
And You Felt Like You Voiceless, Yeah
I Swear That Shit Is Annoying, Uh
You Ain’t Gon’ Leave Me No Choices, Uh

I’m Active Whenever The Lights Go Down
The Sun Come Up, Your Life So Down
The Medicine Turn Me To A Psycho Now
I’m Hearin’ Those Screams, I Like Those Sounds
I Been The Underdog, I Don’t Like Your Crown
The Niggas Treat Me Like My Life Don’t Count
I Hate Weird Niggas, I Don’t Like Those Crowds
But Don’t Judge Me, I Don’t Like Joe Brown (Ayy, Ayy)
Turn Your Life Around, I Keep To Myself When The Knife Around
I’m Halloween Night When The Lights Go Out
I’m Feelin’ Like I’m Livin’ In Michael’s House
Twelve-inch Blade And The Micro Proud
Hittin’ These Streets, Gotta Pipe Hoes Down
A Long Dick Nigga And It’s Quite Profound
She Wanna Get Hit Like A Fight Broke Out, Out
I’m Activated Like Jerry Curl
All In The Head Like I’m Gon’ Off The Henny, Girl
