Lyrics

[Intro] Go [Refrain] Get up [Verse 1] What is a man that stays true to the game But has to cheat a little to get by? Well, that's a person that I know too well Don't want to know, but I don't have to ask why Everyone like a loaded gun You want some shit? I'll fucking pound you, son Don't need a reason, pain I'm feeling I gotta vent, or else I blow inside [Pre-Chorus] Introspection, termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long [Chorus] You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies, been told a thousand times Hard as nails, the power to survive [Refrain] Get up [Verse 2] What is a man that stays true to the game But can't believe some of the things he sees? Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down In poverty, there is no democracy Used needle and a crack vial A broken bottle and a bullet shell This urban life is so volatile An inner city or a concrete hell [Pre-Chorus] Introspection, termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long [Chorus] You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies, been told a thousand times Hard as nails, the power to survive Go [Lead - Flynn] [Refrain] So pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, get up [Verse 3] What is a man, don't stay true to the game Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed? He's playing God, killing thousands of people 'Cause the power is the fix that he needs Racist goal of the white devil I watched our souls burning over oil A politician got no feeling It makes my motherfucking cold blood boil [Pre-Chorus] Introspection, termination Can't tell right from wrong Fed up with this whole system It's gone on far too long [Chorus] You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize Thousand lies, been told a thousand times Hard as nails, the power to survive [Outro] Slow Slow Slow
