Black Panther Album Lyrics

Black Panther

(Kendrick Lamar)

Wait

King of my city, king of my country, king of my homeland
King of the filthy, king of the fallen, we living again
King of the shooters, looters, boosters, and ghettos poppin'
King of the past, present, future, my ancestors watchin'
King of the culture, king of the soldiers, king of the bloodshed
King of the wisdom, king of the ocean, king of the respect
King of the optimistics and dreamers that go and get it
King of the winners, district, and geniuses with conviction
King of the fighters, king of the fathers, king of the belated
King of the answer, king of the problem, king of the forsaken
King of the empathy, you resent me, king of remorse
King of my enemies, may they father feed, I rejoice
King of the skyscrapers, dodging haters, broke religion
Nine faces, go against 'em, I erased 'em with precision
I embrace them with collision
Kings did it, king vision, Black Panther, King Kendrick
All hail the king, I dropped a million tears
I know several responsibilities put me here
I don't pedal backwards but I live old-fashioned
The lens that I'm looking through won't prescribe me the right glasses, masses are now free
Ashes I'm dumpin' out, 'bout to spread all 'cross seas
Sisters and brother in unison, not because of me
Because we don't glue with the opposition, we glue with peace
And I'm still gon' fuck up your organization if any beef
What do you stand for?
Are you an activist? What are your city plans for?
Are you an accident? Are you just in the way?
Your native tongue contradictin' what your body language say
Are you a king or you jokin'? Are you a king or you posin'?
Are you a king or you smokin' bud rocks to keep you open?
Because the king don't cry, king don't die
King don't lie, king give heart, king get by, king don't fall
Kingdom come, when I come, you know why
King, king, king, king, I am T'Challa!

All The Stars

(Kendrick Lamar & SZA)

[Kendrick Lamar]
Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you?
I know the feeling haunt you

[Chorus: SZA]
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you, all the stars approach you, all the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer, all the stars are closer, all the stars are closer

[Kendrick Lamar]
Tell me what you gon' do to me
Confrontation ain't nothin' new to me
You can bring a bullet, bring a sword, bring a morgue
But you can't bring the truth to me
F*ck you and all your expectations
I don't even want your congratulations
I recognize your false confidence
And calculated promises all in your conversation
I hate people that feel entitled
Look at me crazy 'cause I ain't invite you
Oh, you important?
You the moral to the story? You endorsin'?
Motherf*cker, I don't even like you
Corrupt a man's heart with a gift
That's how you find out who you dealin' with
A small percentage who I'm buildin' with
I want the credit if I'm losin' or I'm winnin'
On my momma, that's the realest shit

Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you?
I know the feeling haunt you

[SZA]
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you, all the stars approach you, all the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer, all the stars are closer, all the stars are closer

Skin covered in ego
Get to talkin' like a end-forth, like a rebound
No control, no off switch
In the way that you bringin' me down
It's a turn on, get it away from me
Know you mean wrong, keep away from me
And it's all wrong, get it away from me, yeah
I just cry for no reason
I just pray for no reason
I just thank for the life, for the day
For the hours and another life breathin'
How did it all go to feel good?
You could live it all if you feel bad
Better live your life
We were runnin' out of time

[Kendrick Lamar & SZA]
Love, let's talk about love
Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
Or do the feeling haunt you?
I know the feeling haunt you

[SZA]
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars approach you, all the stars approach you, all the stars approach you
This may be the night that my dreams might let me know
All the stars are closer, all the stars are closer, all the stars are closer

Radion beams castin' vibrant views
Pick me up when I fall down and out
Dust me off and show me all truth
Show me that I'll never fly alone
I fucked up so many times, but I still have you
Show me how you do it like that
Carryin' a brother is not easy on your back

I know most of them gon' talk, I know, I know

We gon' bet it all, I know-ow

Opps

(Vince Staples & Yugen Blakrok)

[Kendrick Lamar]
F*ck y'all want from me?
Y'all don't want money, y'all don't want from me
Y'all wanna die in the chase of things
We all gon' die and embrace the thing
Trapped inside a burning church
Made it out alive, God know my worth
Raw face, Scarface
Y'all face more defeat, I know it hurts
20 of 'em, 20 on call
Got 20 in my hand, got 20 on judge
Gave 20 to my dog, got 20 on girls
That'll f*ck you to— (zoom zoom zoom)
That'll f*ck you to f*ck you over
Take your safe, take your keys, take your Rover
Take the heart you thought you had
Speed off, rollin' up life in a taxi cab

[Chorus]
Opps on the radar (you're dead to me)
How you wanna play ball? (you're dead to me)
(***) takes all (you're dead to me)
(You're dead to me, you're dead to me)
You know what zone I'm in (you're dead to me)
Don't care who you with (you're dead to me)
Watch me do my shit (you're dead to me)
(You're dead to me)

[Vince Staples]
Hey hey, ready, set, go crazy
Here to finesse, you see I'm getting mines
A life hit a nigga with a lemon's lime
Like what at night, we still committin' crimes, spittin' rhymes
Bought a coupe with the spinnin' rims, get inside
Bring a friend, bleedin' hands from the genocide
Clean me up, beam me up to the other side
Brothers die, 'cause coons turn to butterflies
They don't wanna see me sittin' in the Benz
They don't wanna see me livin' on the end
Of the city in a citywide bend
Show no pity in the city for the sin
They don't wanna see me gettin' to the check
They just wanna see me swimmin' in the debt
Don't drown on ground, wait until you hear
9-1-1, freeze (zoom, zoom) dead

[Kendrick Lamar]
Opps on the radar (you're dead to me)
How you wanna play ball? (you're dead to me)
(***) takes all (you're dead to me)
(You're dead to me, you're dead to me)
You know what zone I'm in (you're dead to me)
Don't care who you with (you're dead to me)
Watch me do my shit (you're dead to me)
(You're dead to me)

[Yugen Blakrok]
I move like a millipede
When I flex them tendons like rubber trees
Young Millie Jackson back to the shit
Mouthpiece drawn, got a verbal armory
Stack bodies, not figurines
Move beneath the surface, submarine
I'm half machine, obscene with a light sword
Look inside the brain, it's a ride in the psych ward
What you standing on the side for?
Roar like a lioness, punch like a cyborg
Spit slick, attack is subliminal
Flowers on my mind, but the rhyme style sinister
Stand behind my own bars, like a seasoned criminal
Gotham City Streets, I'll play the *bleep*
Crushing any system, that belittles us
Antidote to every poison they administer
Switch it like time signatures
Colours in my aura tend cover the perimeter
Brown bodies that the blues wanna shoot through
Hi-rez lasers wanna (zoom, zoom, zoom)
Roll over your eyes
My strength ain't nothing like my size
Blades on the top, Kathleen Cleaver
Tangle my chords like a weaver

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Opps on the radar (you're dead to me)
How you wanna play ball? (you're dead to me)
(***) takes all (you're dead to me)
(You're dead to me, you're dead to me)
You know what zone I'm in (you're dead to me)
Don't care who you with (you're dead to me)
Watch me do my shit (you're dead to me)
(You're dead to me)

I Am

(Jorja Smith)

Try it if it feels right (try it)
Try it if it feels right, yeah
When you try, oh, oh

[Jorja Smith]
I'm tryin'
I'm just, yeah, I'm just, yeah
I been out here tryin' to see my homecoming
And of course, somebody's always gonna say something
Try and shoot me down for voicin' my own opinion
Triggerin' a part of me that's always been indifferent

And I know that we have asked for change
Don't be scared to put the fears to shame

[Chorus]
When you know what you got, sacrifice ain't that hard
Feel like dependin' on me, sometimes we ain't meant to be free
When you know what you got, sacrifice ain't that hard
Feel like dependin' on me, sometimes we ain't meant to be free

Open up this letter you ain't tryin' to read
You've been blind to the subject but not blind to me
And I know that this margin ain't too small for me
Not too real, not too much anymore, not enough

And I know that we have asked for change
Don't be scared to put the fears to shame

When you know what you got, sacrifice ain't that hard
Feel like dependin' on me, sometimes we ain't meant to be free
When you know what you got, sacrifice ain't that hard
Feel like dependin' on me, sometimes we ain't meant to be free

[Jorja Smith & Kendrick Lamar]
If who I am offends you, don't feel sorry
Don't feel, don't feel sorry, don't feel, don't feel sorry
My loss is worth more than your wins
I'm satisfied if it starts to look in
That is everything, that is everything, that is everything
That is everything, that is everything
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I, stop, I am what you not
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop
I, stop, I am what you not
I try to make it stop, I pray it will stop

Paramedic!

(SOB X RBE)

[Zacari & Kendrick Lamar]
I am Killmonger
No one's perfect
But no one's worthless
We ain't deserving of everything Heaven and Earth is
But word is, good, (this is my home)
No one's perfect but no ones worth this
We ain't deserving of everything Heaven and Earth is
But word is, good (Northern California)

[Slimmy B & Kendrick Lamar]
Aye, they better call a paramedic in the street
I got leverage in the street
I'm a California nigga and I'm heavy in the streets
.22 or .23, I'm heavy with the heat
Hit you with this chop paramedics can't save you (can't save you)
Really in field c'mon bro, I know that ain't you (no, it ain't you)
2018, hell naw, I ain't gon fade you, gon' paint you
TDE and SOB, we can't lose
Niggas bitch made, that's just something I can't relate to (can't relate to)
Turn on the gang, that's just something that I can't do (no, I can't do)
Fall out over a bitch, thats just something that I can't do (no, I can't do)
Rip every beat I get on, I was made to (I was made to)
This Glock get to growling, something like a black panther
Tryna touch a mil, fuck sayin', "Get yo bands up"
Fucking with the gang, yeah I had to man up
One fist in the air, I ain't finna put my hands up (Gang!)

[Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
I wish a nigga would
I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would
I wish a nigga would
I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would
I wish a bitch would
I wish a bitch would, I wish a bitch would
I wish a nigga would
I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would

[Lul G]
Got shooters tappin' in, nigga for them bands nigga
West coast niggas, yeah they blowin' fans nigga
I know I'm the man, baby bring your friends with you
Puttin' points up while you in the stands nigga
But I be stuck in these streets, you in the background
Ever since they took my brother, gotta pack rounds
Sorry momma, two bales, took a bad route
I done got my bands up, a nigga stacked now
But we been still O.T. on that bullshit (on that bullshit)
I don't wanna have to do it, empty full clips (empty full clips)
Why these niggas talkin' robbin', they don't do shit
High Cali niggas tapped in, we'll cook shit
Bust down on my neck, niggas reach, gettin' stretched
Rockin' with this TEC, niggas better wear a vest
Last year, I was broke young nigga in the Crest
Now a show 20 or better, broke niggas keep the rest

[Kendrick Lamar]
I wish a nigga would
I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would
I wish a nigga would
I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would
I wish a bitch would
I wish a bitch would, I wish a bitch would
I wish a nigga would
I wish a nigga would, I wish a nigga would (DaBoii)

[DaBoii + Kendrick Lamar]
California nigga and I'm heavy in these streets
If you don't keep a pole how you ready when it's beef (If you don't keep a pole)
Lil nigga think he cut, yeah I bet the nigga freeze
If that nigga want me dead, I can't let that nigga breath
Want me gone, sent a shot, like the real kind
These niggas actin' like they tough when they real kind
Thumbin' through a 100 racks just to kill time
They got a nigga at the edge but I feel fine
But it come with this shit, I'm okay with it
If your man's to his last share a plate wit' 'em
One whole wood to the neck, it's an eighth in it
New baby chop, let it sing, it's a Drake nigga
A lot of shit on my mind make me think a lot
Why it's hard for me to smile? 'Cause I seen a lot
You ain't really in the field, you just tweet a lot
If we ain't on the same page, you can kick rocks, bitch!

[Yhung T.O. & Kendrick Lamar]
And I been really tryna keep the peace
But I'm a north Vallejo nigga and I'm heavy in the streets
I was raised by my grannie and the gangsters
So at 8 I made the choice I'ma forever be a G, and
I don't really like to talk
I remember we was broke and I don't really like to walk, nigga
Now I ride around in foreign cars
And I put on for my team who was with me from the start, nigga
I don't play games, stitch lip, I don't say names
She want a dog, I'm a Great Dane
I got great aim, Ice Age on my damn chain
My momma told me keep a stash for the damn rain
They ain't wanna see me win 'cause I'm black
So I pulled up in that all black Benz in the back
If you need someone to call, I'm the man for the task
You ain't standin' for the cause, meet the man in the mask

Bloody Waters

(Ab-Soul & Anderson .Paak & James Blake)

[Yhung T.O. & James Blake]
Meet the man in the mask
Meet the man in the mask
All those days and all that stays and
I don't keep it, I won't be here for it
All those days and all that stays and
I don't keep it though, I won't be here for it

[Anderson .Paak]
Yes Lawd, huh
Hail Mary's in the sky (Hail Mary's in the sky)
False prophets get buried alive (alive)
Head on the throne 'cause that's where I reside (reside)
Ways of the world the weak won't survive
Something's in the water (the water), ayy, my nigga we lawless (lawless)
Please move with caution
Who set the fairway? (fairway) damn right I need all this (all this)
Yeah, Jack, I need all this, eyy

[Ab-Soul]
Hittas acquitted with fingerprints on the Glock
Screamin' we gon' make it like two-thirds of The LOX
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Pow pow, he comes, blah blah

Blood on my hands, I'ma need hot agua
You gon' meet Jamaica, I'm won't say it in Patois
Hope I strike a nerve like a package of matches
You might wanna bypass, this smoke ain't gas trick
A prince-turned-pope tryin' to do like kings do
Sweatin' in chess games, tryna move like kings move
You should slow your roll before you drown in the moat
He tried to channel the balance but never found the remote
Killers on the prowl still juggin' off a lick
Still a— with a double for his *bleep*
Common politics, everlastin' mayhem
Draw to stick you for' your figures, that's how they hang man
So what's your game plan if you got one?
You aimin' at passengers with a shotgun? (woah)
The aftermath is you in the scope
It's warfare, is war fair? (no)
You understand? It's probably better you don't
Just keep a dock on standby, charter a boat
Ship set sail and, planes depart
The big picture's in motion, are you playin' your part?
Before the lights get dark and the curtains get closed
Are you playin' your role?
As told by an organized criminal
And general get off my genitals, I got your general

[Anderson .Paak]
Hail Mary's in the sky (Hail Mary's in the sky)
False prophets get buried alive (alive)
Head on the throne 'cause that's where I reside (reside)
Ways of the world the weak won't survive
Something's in the water (the water), ayy, my nigga we lawless (lawless)
Please move with caution
Who set the fairway? (fairway) damn right I need all this (all this)
Yeah, Jack, I need all this, eyy

[Ab-Soul]
I had to be about 9 when I first had seen it
Low lows pulled up outside of the Ralph's
After a car show at Dominguez
They had a disagreement they had to air out
Just another day in Del Amo
Fo' sho, man down, mando
Thank, thank God I never had to knock your partner off
Or be another casualty of war, amen
There's four footprints in the sand where I walk
I never claimed to be a saint at all
Four Russians trippin' with hollow tips
And a Kalashnikov, aimed at y'all (kla kla kla!)
No, Soulo hoe, kept it clean
Ridin' dirty, jury would have gave me thirty
Herbie love buggin' out, hit the target blindfolded
Electorial college devoted
To hit the score, to write the score that's not a metaphor
Ragin' against the machinery, tapin' up the scenery
You gotta keep the piece to keep the peace
Got dough, squad up and mopped the block up for a cleanin' fee

[James Blake]
I don't need you to change
I don't need you to change
Yourself (get, get away, get away)
But I've got to get away (get, get away, get away)
I've got to get away (get, get away, get away)
From it all (get, get away, get away)
(Get, get away, get away)
Be as free as you can (get, get away, get away)
Be as free as you can (get, get away, get away)
Away from me (get, get away)
I tried to be a saint like everybody else

King's Dead

(Jay Rock & Kendrick Lamar & Future & James Blake)

Miss me with that bullshit (Bullshit)
You ain't really wild, you a tourist (A tourist)
I be blackin' out with the purist (The purist)
I made a hundred thou' then I freaked it (I freaked it)
I made 500 thou' then I freaked it (I freaked it)
I bought a '87 for the weekend (The weekend)
This ain't what you want, this ain't what you want (What you want)
This ain't what you want, this ain't what you want (What you want)

And it's like that, lil' bitch
MVP, I don't get no sleep, no, I don't like that, lil' bitch
Bust that open, I want that ocean, yeah that bite back, lil' bitch
Do it bite back, lil' bitch? Need two life jackets, lil' bitch
I ain't gon' hold you, I ain't gon' press you, never control you
I ain't gon' front you, keep it 100, I don't know you
Boss like Top Dawg, bossed my life up, crossin' over
Stutter steppin', got a Hall of Fame in all my posters
I've been ready, my whip been ready
My bitch been ready, my clique been ready
My shit's been ready, my check's been ready
My shot's on full, that's Armageddon
I got pull, I hope y'all ready
My tank on full, you know, unleaded
I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it
I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it
My name gon' hold up, my team gon' hold up
My name gon' hold up, my team gon' hold up
My shots gon' fire, my team gon' roll up
Ménage-à-trois, my queen gon' roll up
I hope y'all ready, you know I'm ready
I reign all day, you know, confetti
I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it
I gotta go get it, I gotta go get it, skrrt

Miss me with that bullshit (Bullshit)
You're not a gang member, you's a tourist (A tourist)
I be blackin' out, I be blackin' out
Bought an '83 Cutlass for the weekend (For the weekend)
I got a hundred thousand, then I freaked it (Then I freaked it)
I made 500 thousand, then I freaked it (Then I freaked it)
I put a Rolls Royce on my wrist, oh yeah
Fuck his baby mama tryna sneak diss
I took her to my penthouse, then I freaked it (Then I freaked it)
I haven't made my mind up, should I keep it? (Should I keep it?)
I got big dog status, it ain't no secret

Bitch, I'm on a roll and I put that on the gang

This ain't what you want, this ain't what you want (What you want)
This ain't what you want, this ain't what you want (What you want)

Changes
Is you gon' do something?
What you want?

Red light, green light, red light, green light
Red light, green light, they like, we like
Fast cars, fast money, fast life, fast broads
Egotistic, goin' ballistic, why God?
Born warrior, lookin' for euphoria, but I don't see it
I don't feel it, I'm paraplegic, tapped in when I'm maxed in
Comp-Town with the MAC 10s and the pumps in the background
I was absent, never OG, standout
I was lackin' everything else but doubt
In the Magnum, holding Magnums with a Magnum
Nigga, ad-lib and I sing out loud
Never had friends, never had ends, never had hope
They was like, "Nope," I was like, "Boo yaow, boo yaow"
Yeah, God, tee off the day
Know we off the, be off the, eat off your plate
Throw me off, I be, "Off ya head"
Well ate, on C4, I'm way off the edge
Fuck integrity, fuck your pedigree, fuck your feelings, fuck your culture
Fuck your moral, fuck your family, fuck your tribe
Fuck your land, fuck your children, fuck your wives
Who am I? Not your father, not your brother
Not your reason, not your future
Not your comfort, not your reverence, not your glory
Not your heaven, not your angel, not your spirit
Not your message, not your freedom
Not your people, not your neighbor
Not your baby, not your equal
Not the title y'all want me under
All hail King Killmonger
Red light, green light, red light, green light
Red light, green light, they like, we like
Fast cars

You love it when I fall on my face
Don't act so surprised when

Ain't it righteous? Amen (amen)

This time around, there's still time to turn it around
This time around, there's always time to turn it around
This time around (this time around)

Seasons

(Mozzy & Sjava & Reason)

Seasons change
There's still time for us to run away
Seasons change
There's still time for us to run away
Seasons

[Sjava]
San'bonan endlini
Sjava kaJama Indlalifa igama ley'nsizwa mina
Ng'phuma le enzansi, kwafel ubala
Insizwa uma ina-thirty five kthiwa is' indala
Laph' eng'phuma khona maw'phuma khona bathi aw'fiki la
Ngyamangala uma ngi-la
Bebathi ng'yophelel emoyeni, ba-right
Manje ngiy'nkanyezi
Njengoba ngik'tshela ngempilo yami
Ng'funa uthathe nayi imfundiso yami (lalela la wena)
Ithemba alibulali
Ukube l'yabulala ngabe nihamba phey'kwami

[Chorus]
Poverty, jealousy
Negativity
Ngith' angandawo la
Go away (far away)
Poverty, jealousy
Negativity
Ngith' angandawo la
Go away (far away)

[Mozzy]
I cried when lil' bruh died
Got high and watched the sunrise
Wiggle on 'em if it's one time
They done hung all of my people
I love all of my people
I'm in the slums with all of my people
They tryna tell us that we all equal
We get no justice so it ain't peaceful, yeah
They can bluff you, they can beat you
Paid attorney, we gon' need it
Momma told me there was demons
And she ain't never lied on her Jesus'
She worked her ass off just to feed us
She went to Ross to cop the new Adidas
She used to tap in with all the teachers
They wasn't teachin' nothin', it's no secret
Whole lotta crime, lil' niggas beefin'
We gotta keep it or end up a victim
Trapped in the system, traffickin' drugs
Modern-day slavery, African thugs
We go to war for this African blood
We go to war for this African blood
When I put niggas on, it was all out of love
You was disloyal, can't call it no love

[Sjava]
Poverty, jealousy
Negativity
Ngith' angandawo la
Go away (far away)

[Reason]
(Season change) You know we off the stove with it
We stove whippin', niggas know we gon' get it
(Season change) Dodgin' cops
Fuck around and get locked, you ain't never comin' home with it
Look, my nigga, I came from the sewer
Don't shit on my past, you ain't come from manure
You see Reason and you see LA
But bitch I ain't come for no ruin
Just know all of my niggas, we struggled for it
Had to hustle for it, cried puddles for it
My pops watched his sister get locked for it
I done seen my niggas get knocked for it like (gunshot)
Gimme that, I carry Del Amo like a piggyback
I carry my city like guilt that ain't got no forgiveness
No way out, shit we locked in the system
Catch a case and they not gon' forgive ya
White skin, you be out before Christmas
Shit, auntie missed eight of those days
Tears from me, had to pray those days
Had to slave those days
Shit, we had to hit up a couple hood giveaways those days
Thank God for every inch that he gave us
Thank God for everything cause he made us
Like when that car bent the block, blat blat
Hit the homie but we made it, he already saved us
Thinkin' that he could've died nigga
We was prayin' to the sky and his momma cried rivers
Healed up, but tough luck, he tried to get revenge
Had to drop, bullets popped and they killed him
Worst part is that it sound so familiar

[Kendrick Lamar]
I am T'Challa
I am Killmonger
One world, one God, one family
Celebration

Pray For Me

(The Weeknd & Kendrick Lamar)

I'm always ready for a war again
Go down that road again
It's all the same
I'm always ready to take a life again
You know I'll ride again
It's all the same (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me who's gon' save me from myself
When this life is all I know
Tell me who's gon' save me from this hell
Without you, I'm all alone

Who gon' pray for me?
Take my pain for me?
Save my soul for me?
'Cause I'm alone, you see
If I'm gon' die for you
If I'm gon' kill for you
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept
I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Shooters on top of the building, government aiding relief
Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks
The poor one with smoke lungs and Scarface
Who need a hero? (hero)
You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero
Who on the front lines at Ground Zero? (hero)
My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle
Mass destruction and mass corruption
The souls are sufferin' men
Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'
It's all prophecy and if I gotta be sacrificed for the greater good, then that's what it gotta be

Who gon' pray for me?
Take my pain for me?
Save my soul for me?
'Cause I'm alone, you see
If I'm gon' die for you
If I'm gon' kill for you
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Who gon' pray for me?
Take my pain for me?
Save my soul for me?
'Cause I'm alone, you see
If I'm gon' die for you
If I'm gon' kill for you
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

Just in case my faith go
I live by my own, no
I live by my own, no
I live by my own
Just in case my faith go
I live by my own, no
I live by my own, no
I live by my own
