[Chorus ] [Verse 1: B.o.B] Yeah. uhh I just adjusted my method They try to muddy my message Another corrupt one elected Another new puppet selected This ain't a fairly tale, yeah, far from an urban legend In a war propaganda can often be used as a murder weapon What's the direction we're headed in? Can't get arrested and not get neglected Guessing my presence is threatening Put you on game and they try to discredit it Thanks to the Internet we can see racism isn't as dead as they said it is Serious as getting beheaded They edit the footage then go off for beverages Oh me, oh my the keys unlock the closed mind, huh Fee fi fo fum, I see the beast close by But an eye, for an eye, for an eye, for an eye, for an eye Soon we'll all be blind, over time, over time, over time Bandz [Pre-Hook] Weed don't get me high like it used They say I don't sound like I used to But an eye, for an eye, for an eye, for an eye, for an eye Soon we'll all be blind, over time, over time, over time Hook [Verse 2: B.o.B] United Savages of America, huh Corruption, extortion, torture, et cetera, huh Looking for war that we can declare on ya Like, "Hmmm, we can just control this whole area" Overbearing clutch Country run by billionaires'r'us Evil predator Don't want the beef if it ain't rare enough Police scared of us Propaganda and hysteria What's in the dairy truck Crops and produce sprayed in fairy dust Budget cuts like an uppercut from the upper cla** All they serving is plates of suffering succotash I know someone in power, someone behind the mask When I find someone, imma whoop someone a** [Pre-Hook] Is what you're asking for really what you are ready for? It's time for action and that is not a metaphor I know someone in power, someone behind the mask When I find someone, imma whoop someone a** Chorus [Verse 3: B.o.B] Uhhh, I respect your silence But I won't comply with tyrants Or confide in dead messiahs By now you know a lot about me Nothing's ever private Whatever you're looking for in life you'll more than likely find it Guns, d**, s**, basically everything but guidance Most of our life we guessing sh** The rest is left to science They just give you the gospel See, you gotta connect the right ones The rope is around all of our necks But in the hood it's slightly tighter The cause of d**h is bias Because if you get shot then DaQuan did it If a flood k** you then God did it Get a**a**inated, then the mob did it You don't know the k**er unless a cop did it We treat our problems how we treat our criminals We lock them long as we can so we don't have to deal with them Rain bandz Outro
