[Intro]
(Hands up, don't shoot. Hands up, don't shoot. Hands up, don't shoot). Not the tear gas this time, just smoke, but uh, you see another building here - now on fire - look over to my left; you see some others that have been looted. (Crying (Retch)) Murder

[Verse]
(Scarlxrd) You still wander this wasteland
You can't hide from your crimes
All the hurt has been covered
Only lords will survive
Close your eyes when demons hunt for you
Search your soul so deep for something new
You're so blinded by the fucking truth
Wake the fuck up, we see reckoning in front of you
Dust won't settle
They call me mental
Fuck their level
You're not special
Feed them lies the people swallow
Pave a way the lost will follow
Fill your brain with hurt and sorrow
Then wonder why your life's so hollow
Bitch, wake up
The water is poisoned
Seen this shit with my own fucking eyes
They fake life for the camera
They take control of the minds
Advertise shit that's not real
Make you live life in fear
They're paying the enemy
Their lies are so clear
