[Intro]
[(Turntable scratch)]
[(Heavy, dark 808 bass drops with a gritty drum beat)]
[(Spoken, cold and rhythmic)] Let's get the story straight.
[Verse 1]
[(Fast hip-hop flow)]
Sneaking smoke in the hall, hiding it in your sleeves
Chasing a plastic high, doing whatever you please.
Multiple warnings ignored, thought you had it won
Now the probation officer is checking up on my son!
You thought you were untouchable, pushing the line
But I told you the bill comes due every single time!
[Pre-Chorus]
[(Distorted guitar slowly winds up)]
The principal called. The sirens flashed.
Watch your little fake rebellion crash!
[Chorus]
[(Massive wall of heavy rock guitars explode!)]
Play. The. Game. Now pay the price!
Should have listened to my advice!
Courtroom dates and the siren flash!
Watch your little fake rebellion crash!
Throw the vapor out, step out of the fire!
I'm raising a king, now aim! Much! Higher!
[Verse 2]
[(Guitars cut out. Back to the fast, dark rap beat)]
You think you're living dangerously, breaking the rules?
Acting like a heavyweight in a playground of fools.
I clock into the clinic, see the blood and the bone
I deal with real survival while you're playing on your phone!
Don't try to act tough with a vape in your hand
I face down the fire, now step up and be a man!
[Chorus]
[(Guitars explode back in!)]
Play. The. Game. Now pay the price!
Should have listened to my advice!
Courtroom dates and the siren flash!
Watch your little fake rebellion crash!
Throw the vapor out, step out of the fire!
I'm raising a king, now aim! Much! Higher!
[Verse 3]
[(Beat gets incredibly tense, fast rhythmic delivery)]
You think this is just about you and the choices you make?
Look over your shoulder at the shadows you wake!
Two little brothers watching your every stride
Are you leading them to greatness, or taking them for a ride?
You’re the oldest, you’re the scout, clearing the path
Drop the foolish pride and do the real math!
[Bridge]
[(Music drops to silence. Whispered, building to a scream)]
I am in your corner. I'll fight for your life.
But I won't watch you walk on the edge of a knife.
Wake up.
WAKE UP!
[Chorus]
[(Maximum screaming rock energy!)]
Play. The. Game. Now pay the price!
Should have listened to my advice!
Courtroom dates and the siren flash!
Watch your little fake rebellion crash!
Throw the vapor out, step out of the fire!
I'm raising a king, now aim! Much! Higher!
[Outro]
[(Heavy guitar chugs, abrupt stop)]
Aim. Much. Higher.
