[Verse 1]
Step out the door
sirens for birds in the sky
Liquor store lit up
kids learning how to lie
Old head on the corner
selling hope out the bag
Politician on the billboard
smiling over a body bag
Mama praying over payments
due last week
Landlord talking tough
teeth gold, heart cheap
Scroll through the news
same loop, new names
Every headline hitting
like close-range flames (yeah)
[Chorus]
We living in a fucked up world
razor-wire parade
Steel-toe dreams
kicking holes in the cage
Middle finger up
to the ones getting paid
If the whole thing burning
we dancing in the blaze
We living in a fucked up world
no capes, just scars
Turn the pain to a weapon
aim it at the stars
If the whole thing burning
we laughing in the dark (ha)
We living in a fucked up world
still playing our part
[Verse 2]
Judge in a Jag
driving past tents in the rain
Talk tough on crime
then invest in chains
Influencer rich
from a staged rough day
While my cousin doing time
for the same damn game
Gang signs and gang ties
both in suits
Lobby door spinning
like a stolen coupe
You call me thug
for the ink on my skin
But your clean white collar
got blood tucked in (talk to ‘em)
[Chorus]
We living in a fucked up world
razor-wire parade
Steel-toe dreams
kicking holes in the cage
Middle finger up
to the ones getting paid
If the whole thing burning
we dancing in the blaze
We living in a fucked up world
no capes, just scars
Turn the pain to a weapon
aim it at the stars
If the whole thing burning
we laughing in the dark (yeah)
We living in a fucked up world
still playing our part
[Bridge]
Whole block on edge
like a switch about to flip
Tongue sharp, heart hard
knuckles ready to trip
If this hell on earth
then we hell’s house band
Make the ground shake
till they finally understand (woah)
[Chorus]
We living in a fucked up world
razor-wire parade
Steel-toe dreams
kicking holes in the cage
Middle finger up
to the ones getting paid
If the whole thing burning
we dancing in the blaze
We living in a fucked up world
no capes, just scars
Turn the pain to a weapon
aim it at the stars
If the whole thing burning
we laughing in the dark
We living in a fucked up world
still playing our part
