[Intro] See the villains' eyes? Larger than the other characters They insinuate a slightly skewed perspective on how they see the world Just off-normal [Verse 1] I learned a lot of lessons in this long life Like there's nobody that's keeping track when you're doing right All they seem to remember is when they think you're wrong No matter the instrument playing, it's the same song It doesn't matter who you with you really all alone Just because you lay your head there don't make that place your home Reality's brutal, it steps in and takes its toll Believe what you're shown and never what the f** you're told Everything you don't do shining like a beacon Any words you're speaking get's twisted until you're weakened If you gon' be the bad guy, regardless of the outcome You might as well embrace it it's something you'll never outrun Labeled as a villain? Stop tripping it's just a title Their opinions are not vital, they use it to be spiteful Believe me I done seen me an eyeful (yup) The world will aim at you like the scope on a rifle And say that you're trifle [Chorus](x2) There's such a thing as necessary evil Cause they will violate you expect you to be peaceful Sometimes you gotta do what you want so f** people If anybody crosses that line then get lethal [Verse 2] When there's a narrative that's rolling around that says you ain't sh** There's some real life repercussions you gon' deal with And you gon' feel this Every time you walk inside a store and they follow you thinking you're about to steal sh** Or when you're riding down the road Then stopped by another suspicious officer that that thinks that car was stole They'll shoot your baby boy dead in the street And tell the world “he wasn't an angel, more like a beast You should have heard the way he talked back; disturbing the peace And when I asked him for his I.D., I think that he reached” Watch them say that he was justified and ya'll will agree That's why I know it'd be the same if that sh** happened to me They gonna pull my album covers, then point and say "See Looks mean he's exactly what we said he would be" So when they say that I'm the bad guy I laugh and I shrug No matter how legal I'm living they gonna say I'm a thug f** em [Chorus](x2) There's such a thing as necessary evil Cause they will violate you expect you to be peaceful Sometimes you gotta do what you want so f** people If anybody crosses that line then get lethal
