[Verse 1: Kid Cudi]
Avalon be damned
Venture foreign lands
I laid my sword in the sand
I've made my peace with man
They lay a violent feast
As far as my eyes can see
I seek a Golden Fleece
One day you'll make your peace, so
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Don't tempt my hand, I'm just a man
A deadly scene, a weathered bein'
Men must cry where soldiers lie on threatened land
My guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang
[Verse 2: JAY-Z]
Dot seventeen with the switch, it'll change you
Mama always said you was an angel
Papa got ghost but these doors, he never came through
He got ghost but those walls, he never came through
Stain glass windows on the church, I hope they stain proof
'Cause when the tides change, I'm tryna stain you (Woo)
Plottin' for revenge, dig your grave too
Whatever you want engraved what your tombstone gon' say too
Crosses on the head of an angel
Sins of the father darken the doorstep, I became you
Faithful to the end, woo, uh
Bullets with your names drew, cock back, aim, shoot, bang
[Verse 3: Kid Cudi]
Forever tries the fool
There's nothin' no one can do
Just holdin' on when they lose
I'm makin' red of the blues
I dilate the stream
Flyin', livin' the dream
Nothin' is quite what it seems
I'm in a sky mezzanine, oh
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Don't tempt my hand, I'm just a man
A deadly scene, a weathered bein'
Men must cry where soldiers lie on threatened land
My guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang
[Bridge: Kid Cudi]
Nigga come alive when the guns go (Yeah)
Aim 'em high, let the guns go (Get 'em, get 'em)
A nigga come alive when the guns go (Yeah)
Aim 'em high, let the guns go (Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em, get 'em)
Get, let the guns go (Rah, rah, rah)
Aim 'em high, let the guns go (Woo, woo, woo)
Uh-ah, let the guns go (Woo, woo, woo)
Nigga aim 'em high, let the guns go
[Outro]
Fragile life
A reflection of the past we leave behind
For sake of something new
Fractured smile
Open windows to the wounds we try to hide
Engraved in shadowed rooms
Bird in flight, bird in flight
Avalon be damned
Venture foreign lands
I laid my sword in the sand
I've made my peace with man
They lay a violent feast
As far as my eyes can see
I seek a Golden Fleece
One day you'll make your peace, so
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
Don't tempt my hand, I'm just a man
A deadly scene, a weathered bein'
Men must cry where soldiers lie on threatened land
My guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang
I can make the guns go bang
I make all the guns go bang
