[Verse 1]

Life comes to a screeching halt

Wealth but no health

Health but no wealth

Seems like it's even

Pause

Rather live behind the facade

Than face reality

What's another casualty of war?

The goal is to procure riches

Why should I ever divert my attention?

Hmmm yeah

What for?

It's imperative that

You don't question the narrative yeah

Just remain arrogant and blind to the facts

Ignorant a victim to the trap

At the bottom of the pyramid

The weight at our backs

Still trying to find a way

To escape through the cracks

Forgive me for my sins put my faith in the strap

In the rat race trying to end up in a black wraith

Still chasing the cash (cash, cash)

[Hook]

Hold up

Pause

There's no need to be alarmed

I don't mean to cause no harm

I'm just here to sound thee alarm

[Verse 2]

You see sleep won't come

When thoughts run wild (thoughts run wild)

I say a prayer to keep me centered

As I grow tired (I grow tired)

I pray to god

Looking to god to fix it

Turn to god in times of hardship

To grant wishes

Deliver me from evil

Protect me from the wicked (wicked, wicked)

Sitting with a pistol at the crib

Glass full of Henny

Staring into the abyss

Savor every sip

Cause it could be my last

Losing my mind and I hear the gun blast

Like look only thing guaranteed to me is death

Seems to be a disconnect

I stop and take this time to reflect

And I pause

[Hook]

Hold up

Pause

There's no need to be alarmed

I don't mean to cause no harm

I'm just here to sound thee alarm

[Verse 3]

You're on your own

No ones coming to save you (expendable)

They feed you dreams and fairytales

That one day they'll unchain you (very well)

This world wasn't meant for you and I

We afterthoughts, question marks

Just a corpse in a body count

Unless the number in ya bank account

Large amounts nine zeros

No hero's nothing Marvel-esque

Looking stark no common sense

They gone make me grab the iron man

And it could get violent

Frightening

Endgame

No tony

Now I'm someone unholy

Unruly

Real life

No movie

Just yours truly

[Hook]

Hold up

Pause

There's no need to be alarmed

I don't mean to cause no harm

I'm just here to sound thee alarm

[Outro]

Hold up

Pause
