[Intro: B.G. Knocc Out]
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches

[Verse 1: LIL CIG]
I keep on strolling with no control of my thoughts or life (yeah)
Seems like my home has become something I can't recognize (ayy)
Doubters turn to believers, but fuck, I'm not surprised (yeah)
I miss my cousin so much, yet he's still by my side (what?)
Crazy how friends switch it, askin' how they can get a picture
What happened to, "What's up, homie—how ya' doing? Goddamn, I miss ya"
Don't wanna be nowhere else, so I'm making myself create this hell
In the place I dwell, stuck in an open cell
Take me back 'fore the levees fell

[Hook: B.G. Knocc Out]
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches
Time's still changing 'cause brothers turnin' into snitches

[Verse 2: 7TH WARD LORD]
Yeah, I be that 7th Ward Lord with them devil horns
Born and raised in the waves of the storm
The flood has left me wet and torn
The Garden of Eden destroyed by Babylon demons
They poured the chlorine with no warning
Petals on the floor freezing
A world once unexplored, I think I'm Marco Polo covered in thorns
Set my compass to avoid tethered forms
New Orleans is war-torn, I ain't bettin' scores
And all of my friends are now whores
And I'm bored of the replication of the life
I once lived in the city I once adored

$UICIDEBOY$

Hailing from New Orleans, $UICIDEBOY$ are a rap duo of two Scott Arceneaux Jr. and Aristos Petrou. However, many different names and personas are used in place of their real names—for example, “Ruby Da Cherry,” “$uicide Christ,” and many more—each having individual meanings. The full list and breakdown of these aliases can be found here. $B are currently signed underground rap-based record label, G*59 Records, who have also signed Ramirez and Germ.

The boys' discography ranges from horrorcore glitch-trap–working with heavy bass, to gloomy atmospherics and drugged-out rhymes. They began in 2014 by releasing the soon-to-be-infamous series, “Kill Yourself.” The cousins layered their twisted raps over short but snappy tracks, releasing albums and EP’s along the way; such as Black $uicide, Grey/Gray and YUNGDEATHLILLIFE in 2015.

Ruby has not always been a rapper. Before the era of $B—Ruby was a drummer in a punk-rock band who went by the name of Vapo-Rats. During an interview with No Jumper a few years after leaving the band Ruby explained his reasoning for his choice to depart from the group. During the interview, $crim said,
