Lyrics
Back in the city and I'm
Looking at dead faces
Day to day basis
Feel like the villains won and we had heroes cremated
Cos all I see is flames, politicians turning away
We had our glory days but now it's a different fate
Ah, the blue skies turn grey
All that I can say
Is in the end the demons won
Such a fall from grace
They looked at my face
Down the barrel of the gun
Down the barrel of the gun
Don't know who I can look to now that they're gone
They hit my weakness now it got my body numb
I can't run no more
I'll save the world in my beaters
I've ran some meters
Hella aches in my femurs
L's are my teachers
We still here, defeated, but fuck that we ain't leaving
Give my brothers a debriefing then we ride out til evening
It's far away from me right now but I pray for life
I still look back on that shit now, wish I could save their lives
I put their fates inside my hands way too many times
Once they push me to the edge the pressure gets applied
When evil takes over, my bro you can't lose composure
They see my face off the poster, they try consult me for closure
Bad spirits give an aroma, the smell of omens is potent
I sleep with one eye open, I see my opps in slow motion
Back in the city and I'm
Looking at dead faces
Day to day basis
Feel like the villains won and we had heroes cremated
Cos all I see is flames, politicians turning away
We had our glory days but now it's a different fate
Ah, the blue skies turn grey
All that I can say
Is in the end the demons won
Such a fall from grace
They looked at my face
Down the barrel of the gun
Never Thought I'd let the tyrants snatch the crown
I'm isolated, need some hope to hold me down
It's desolated I can't recognise these grounds
Ain't take advantage of my
Ain't take advantage of my privilege
Perhaps there'd be some differences
I mistook my power for omniscience
All the killers and the pillagers
Now forced upon the innocent
My soldiers fully militant
Cos they got both feet in this shit
I was cliffside like a lighthouse
On my last legs, tryna find out
Man it weren't me, it weren't my style
So I came back, gotta fight now
At the third act, but it took time
I was hurt bad, but it healed fine
I'm walk down in that chrome armour with a silver sword and a steel mind
Ay
Back in the city and I'm
Looking at dead faces
Day to day basis
Feel like the villains won and we had heroes cremated
Cos all I see is flames, politicians turning away
We had our glory days but now it's a different fate
Ah, the blue skies turn grey
All that I can say
Is in the end the demons won
Such a fall from grace
They looked at my face
Down the barrel of the gun
