predictable
caught by the naked eye
you needed further proof
just take a look outside

powers that be
they paint in black and white
leave the function all black and blue
for your one excluded truth

unless they string you along
it gets easier when they’re gone
your friends, parents, brothers, sisters
the ones you fell upon

that’s why they chain you when you’re low
and ain’t got nothing to eat
deal you a shitty hand
and expect you not to be beat

can we still be close even as my hostility grows
can we still be close even as my hostility grows
can we still be close even as my hostility grows
can we still be close even as my hostility grows
can we still be close even as my hostility grows
can we still be close even as my hostility grows

scared i’ve been here before
death knockin at the door
fuck that i feel alright
knew he’d be here tonight

i look around and see so many innocent faces
can’t grapple with the fact that tonight they have to face him

but fuck a new beginning
we wore out our second chances
they told y’all what was coming
reserving your second glances

so i've been waiting on it my whole life
the rich ate us and we danced all night

can we still be close even as my hostility grows
can we still be close even as my hostility grows
can we still be close even as my hostility grows
can we still be close even as my hostility grows

(motherfucker)

but not one motherfucker
can be more than a dot
in a spec on a hair
of the host that we rot

my blood pressure’s on the ceiling
and my heart rate’s a million
wanna know where they live
so i can show them a villain

cause it’s not one motherfucker
that can send us to death
but it’s that group of motherfuckers
we elected to rep

for a fuckshit flag
on borrowed land
on borrowed time
with our heads in the sand

i know i’m one motherfucker
that’s all that i am
but i could make my voice louder
with a gun in my hand

but i could make my voice louder
if i cup my hands
and we could turn it up to ten
if i we all chipped in

you can’t keep the world asleep
if you work it to death
