[Hook: R.U.I.N.]
Teach these kids, yes they are/
Reach higher, than the stars/
Don't be trapped, in self-pity/
Don't be snatched in Hell's city/
Stop with self-loathing/
When the going gets tough the tough gets going
Yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 1: R.U.I.N.]
My GPA's a 3.4/
I know it's good, who's keeping score? /
Help the Dominican Republic/
Break rules, that hold me in, ain't nothing/
Yeah Yeah my pride gets the best of me/
My Conscience a cop, arresting me/
But there's no cali spins/ or medallions/
Or rallies in/ the allies when/
The fallacies admit/
The mistakes of ‘manly' men/
But service/ is my purpose/
Until it's disturbing/ to close them curtains/
God's gives approval stamp me in/ a mentor/
God-send, who sent for? / The champion/
Yeah yeah yeah
[Hook: R.U.I.N.]
Teach these kids, yes they are/
Reach higher, than the stars/
Don't be trapped, in self-pity/
Don't be snatched in Hell's city/
Stop with self-loathing/
When the going gets tough the tough gets going
Yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 2: R.U.I.N.]
Change your game up, you just have'ta /
It's sad like Kobe/ drops 80/ on the Raptors/
Spliffing the joints/ get sympathy points/
From your crew, all little silly boys/
Like Tech said ‘Life s**s doesn't it/
But you shouldn't screw up another's life because of it/
That other's life is yours and you're cheating/
Yourself out of all you achieved and/
The Godsends you willingly ignored/
Façade ends it k**s me to the core/
You were meant to live, for so much more/
So switch your feet to a brand new war/
Rebel against me, bring down yourself/
Farewell to all greed, sing down your Hell/
Yeah yeah yeah
(Interlude)
(at the end of interlude) Love
[Hook: R.U.I.N.]
No I didn't/
God thanks for reminding now I get it/
I'll stampede in/ as the champion/
Tag team battle, time to slap me in/
I'll stop with my self-loathing/
The going getting tough so I get going/
I'm not a coward, I won't fold in/
Yeah yeah yeah
