(b-real:)
Going down the cross roads, feeling kinda lost no
Way to make it forsaken and taken for a lost soul!
I don't want your sympathy! - i don't need your hand out!
Never had it planned out, just a cut your man out!
Wars on the newscast! - caught it on a news flash!
Heard about a new tax! - what if i refuse that?
I don't want your promises! - i don't need your bullshit!
I don't need you telling me the answers at the pulpit!
Setup for the meltdown! - hunted by the hellhounds!
Spiders got you spellbound! - get up if you fell down!
I don't hate your slick talk! - i don't seek your point of view!
I'm the fucking thorn your side that keeps annoying you!

(higher tax!) shut 'em down! (shut 'em down!) - yeah, we shut 'em down!
(false media!) we shut 'em down! - (a common enemy!) we shut 'em down! (shut 'em down!)
