The Villain

Lyrics

[Intro: Clip from Lady In The Water] I tried to tell them about you, I don't know if I did the right thing I don't know how they're gonna react [Verse 1: Apathy] Keep the money coming, keep your soul filthy Keep your brain greedy, that's how this world built me Picture Genghis Khan, picture Megatron Now picture BP, picture Exxon Picture presidents, dead ones, alive ones Black ones, white ones, devils in their eyes ones Picture priests, picture the preacher, picture the prophet Picture popes, picture police with padded pockets Picture parents in a picture-perfect town With a pinch of pedophilia that tends to sneak around Think of politicians, they making a killing And then they wanna turn around and call me a villain? Picture devils and demons with disguises Smiling with eyes tatted on their closed eyelids Picture handshakes that most never notice The picture's always been there, it's simply how you focus [Chorus] The Villain, the Villain, villain The Villain, the Villain, villain [Verse 2: Apathy] This ain't trap music, this ain't frat music It's moshpit shit, get your skull cracked to it This ain't devil music, it's just the study of It ain't the murder weapon but it's the bloody glove This is a thesis to show you who the beast is The propaganda professors would never teach this Picture people that will profit off religion Now picture physicians who profit off certain prescriptions Picture principals, parent-teacher conference ADHD and all that other nonsense Psychologists will talk us out of all wisdom While vaccine shots give children autism Our community leaders mislead us With laws that'll take away our 9mm's Picture men who'll say that they speak for Jesus I'll believe that shit when Hell freezes [Chorus] The Villain, the Villain, villain The Villain, the Villain, villain [Verse 3: ILL BILL] Lifers in the booth, snipers on the roof Picture military personnel that like to shoot Picture heroism, fill out your application Picture terrorism, picture assassination Picture pistols that pop instantly Picture silencers that muffle the sound of gunshots efficiently They say a picture's worth a thousand words Now picture a thousand pictures of a mushroom cloud about to burst Picture cloudy skies on the day that Howie died Picture metal detectors inside Canarsie High Picture a newborn baby with the gas mask Picture a New York skyscraper avalanche A cameraman is kidnapped by the Taliban Decapitated, they sent his head into Pakistan Picture the gruesome Twit videos and pics Picture triple-six, picture the villain that live within [Chorus] The Villain, the Villain, villain The Villain, the Villain, villain [Outro: Clip from Lady In The Water] A boy in the Midwest of this land will grow up in a home where your book will be on the shelf and spoken of often He will grow up with these ideas in his head He will grow into a great orator He will speak and his words will be heard throughout this land and throughout the world This boy will become leader of this country and begin a movement of great change He will speak of you and your words Your book will be the seeds of many of his great thoughts It will be the seeds of change
