[Verse 1]
They came through the clouds
like they knew my name
I seen the sky split open
then the whole block changed
I'm in the back room reading
who been lying on me
Who been taking my peace
and smiling like family?
They want the city bow down
want the streets on their knees
But I got the only key
and I keep it for me
I watched the tight lips
and the fake handshakes
Now the red light blink
and the whole world shakes
[Pre-Chorus]
I could end this now
one word, one wave
But I'm not moving
till they clean that mess they made
Every hidden cut
every crooked play
Turn it all back right
or they stay away
[Chorus]
I won't tell them stop
I won't tell them stop
Make it right, make it right
then I make it drop
I won't tell them stop
I won't tell them stop
Say my name, say the truth
then the whole thing stops (whole thing stops)
[Verse 2]
Now they parked on the moon
with the beams come down
And I'm the last man standing
in the blackout town
Got a thousand eyes on me
through the cracked-up glass
But I'm thinking 'bout the ones
that tried to stab my back
You took what wasn't yours
left my name in the dirt
Played real brave in the dark
then act like it don't hurt
I can hear them pleading
through the metal rain
But I learned too young
to forgive the same
[Pre-Chorus]
I could end this now
let the sky go calm
But I won't lift a finger
till the damage is gone
Put the truth on the table
put the lies to sleep
Every wrong turn back
every debt gets meet
[Chorus]
I won't tell them stop
I won't tell them stop
Make it right, make it right
then I make it drop
I won't tell them stop
I won't tell them stop
Say my name, say the truth
then the whole thing stops (whole thing stops)
[Bridge]
Now the boss from the stars
wants a deal from me
Says they need my word
to set the world free
I say bring me the ones
who played both sides
Bring me every cold excuse
and every cheap lie
Then I'll raise my hand
and the sky go still
Till then I'm the reason
they can't get their fill
When the truth comes clean
and the score gets paid
I'll send 'em back up
through the breach they made
[Chorus]
I won't tell them stop
I won't tell them stop
Make it right, make it right
then I make it drop
I won't tell them stop
I won't tell them stop
Say my name, say the truth
then the whole thing stops (whole thing stops)
