[Verse 1]

Going all the way to Panem

In a state of dystopia

They're searching for the light

Before the dark gets ahold of ya

It's Katniss coming in and she's

Reppin' for her District

If she's not written as a hero

Then I promise it's a misprint

The Capitol is pulling

All the strings of the Twelve

And turning all their lives

Right into a living hell

But a fighter has arisen

A fighter has awoken

Does her talking with a bow

Before a word is even spoken

A death match

Welcome to the Hunger Games

But nobody is playing

If you die, then what a shame

'Cuz tributes come

And tributes go

Strong and fast, you survive

Rest in peace to the slow

Televised to the public

Bloody entertainment

They're waiting on judgement

Like it's the day of your arraignment

But it's time for a change

And Everdeen is ready

Her aim is sharp

And her drawing hand is steady

Yessir

[Chorus]

Mockingjay

The rise of defiance

The Mockingjay

Come and join in the alliance

The Mockingjay

The time is now

You stepped to the wrong one

Now the Capitol's going down

Mockingjay

The rise of defiance

The Mockingjay

Come and join in the alliance

The Mockingjay

The time is now

You stepped to the wrong one

Now the Capitol's going down

[Verse 2]

In the 74th

She's the Twelve's volunteer

And little did they know

She's the one who should be feared

She survives the games

And changes up the rules

But she's made some new enemies

Played the Capitol for fools

Made a Quarter Quell comeback

The winners return

And you know she's catching fire

Spittin' flames, watch them burn

They destroyed the arena

And Kat goes her own way

Where she finds 13

Has survived the Dark Days

The rebellion is coming

And Katniss is the new play

Put your hands in the air

If you rep for Mockingjay

'Cuz she's coming up fast and

She's shattered the Games for good

She's deadly like an assassin

With a blade and a hood

And she's coming down strong

Got the nation on her side

Saving Peeta and her friends

It's for more than just pride

'Cuz the showdown is coming

A final fight with the foe

It's the girl with the bow

Versus President Snow

[Chorus]

Mockingjay

The rise of defiance

The Mockingjay

Come and join in the alliance

The Mockingjay

The time is now

You stepped to the wrong one

Now the Capitol's going down

I said

Mockingjay

The rise of defiance

The Mockingjay

Come and join in the alliance

The Mockingjay

The time is now

You stepped to the wrong one

Now the Capitol's going down
