This is something for your people on the block to Blackout and rock to/Give you what you need Like "Papa who shot you?"/Seperate the weak from the obsolete Too meek/I creep hard on impostors And switch styles on the dime/Quick-witted y'all Quit trippin' I don't have time for your crying I grind tough/Sucka, make your mind up Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up? Bang, bang/Little monkey-man playing With the big guns only get you slayed I ain't playin'/I'm just sayin You ain't got a sliver of a chance I get ill and ride the rythm while you quiver in your parents So shake, shake-down/Money, here's the break down You can play the bank/I'ma play the bank take down And no mistakes now I'm comin' to getcha I'm just a Banksy/You're a Brainwash/get the picture? It's like that...
This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen through the tone and the violent rhythm and Though the words sound steady, something empty's within 'em We say yeah / with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and fear Until we dead it / forget it / let it all disappear
Waiting for the end to come / wishing I had strength to stand This was not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light / thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go
I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got
Sitting in an empty room / Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so
What was left when that fire was gone I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on And I don't even know what kind of things I said My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead so Picking up the pieces now where to begin The hardest part of ending is starting again
