[Verse: Machine Gun Kelly]
In my hood money equals power
& in the world money controls everything we believe & I can see we're in are darkest hour
Cause It feels like the government is as crooked as the police
I spent the week catching up on the news
A girl committed suicide after she was bullied in school
Because some dudes told her she wasn't cool
& You would rather gossip about a famous person breakin' the rules
I'm confused
Tell me is my life's price worth the j**els
They tell me fight night, I'm supposed to loose
Just cause in high sight, They don't like my type
White Boy with some rythem & blues

[Outro: Machine Gun Kelly]
There's a line in there where I said "A girl committed suicide after she was bullied in school
Because some dudes told her she wasn't cool
& You would rather gossip about a famous person breakin' the rules
I'm confused"
And It really puts a lot of things in perspective with how we are in society right now
Cause we would rather talk about a famous person getting a DUI
As opposed to shedding light on how serious it is that there are boys & girls that are 15 years old, lost, don't have the sense of how to be a man or a woman yet hurting themselves
I was doing a meet & greet & this girl came up to me & asked if I could sign her arm
And I looked down & she had cut her wrist, I mean from about here were her elbow is to her palm
And it was just like gashes
So much pain & I signed my name over it, she took a picture of it & a year later she posted a picture of that same arm & there was no cuts, I mean there was no more pain & It was just scars that will probably never leave
But, It was a beautiful thing to see my voice influence a change like that
We're blinded by all this other bullsh** that we don't even focus on the real problem
I mean, I wanna take people's eyes off of the celebrity & put it on the people deserving of our love & attention
