Lyrics
Pause
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life comes to a screeching halt
Wealth but no health
Health but no wealth
Seems like it's even
Pause
Rather live behind the facade
Than face reality
What's another casualty of war?
The goal is to procure riches
Why should I ever divert my attention?
Hmmm yeah
What for?
It's imperative that
You don't question the narrative yeah
Just remain arrogant and blind to the facts
Ignorant a victim to the trap
At the bottom of the pyramid
The weight at our backs
Still trying to find a way
To escape through the cracks
Forgive me for my sins put my faith in the strap
In the rat race trying to end up in a black wraith
Still chasing the cash (cash, cash)
Hold up
Pause
There's no need to be alarmed
I don't mean to cause no harm
I'm just here to sound thee alarm
You see sleep won't come
When thoughts run wild (thoughts run wild)
I say a prayer to keep me centered
As I grow tired (I grow tired)
I pray to god
Looking to god to fix it
Turn to god in times of hardship
To grant wishes
Deliver me from evil
Protect me from the wicked (wicked, wicked)
Sitting with a pistol at the crib
Glass full of Henny
Staring into the abyss
Savor every sip
Cause it could be my last
Losing my mind and I hear the gun blast
Like look only thing guaranteed to me is death
Seems to be a disconnect
I stop and take this time to reflect
And I pause
Hold up
Pause
There's no need to be alarmed
I don't mean to cause no harm
I'm just here to sound thee alarm
You're on your own
No ones coming to save you (expendable)
They feed you dreams and fairytales
That one day they'll unchain you (very well)
This world wasn't meant for you and I
We afterthoughts, question marks
Just a corpse in a body count
Unless the number in ya bank account
Large amounts nine zeros
No hero's nothing Marvel-esque
Looking stark no common sense
They gone make me grab the iron man
And it could get violent
Frightening
Endgame
No tony
Now I'm someone unholy
Unruly
Real life
No movie
Just yours truly
Hold up
Pause
There's no need to be alarmed
I don't mean to cause no harm
I'm just here to sound thee alarm
Hold up
Pause
