In that dark corner of the room, I hear the phone ringing (Uh-uh)
Like someone on the other side trying to reach me (Ah-ah)
I’ve seen things that aren’t worth explaining
It came to me in a dream and revealed something I didn’t want to see

Almost a thousand nights, all messed up, he roams around this world
On his shirt, a villain’s “V”, a bullet train squeezing the dog
He goes as far as he can (Wow), his dream is to rise up (Look at him now)
If he lacked education, he flies by with iron in hand (Yeah)
But that never ended well
I’ve seen this story’s conclusion (Yeah)
The sad end for the brother was to be taken down or die in prison (Yeah)
And history repeats itself, they sniff dirt because hypocrisy stinks
A state full of cowards, they built the thirst
While the police oppress and chase
The kid’s goal turned into being a “jack killer” (Bang)
At 12 years old, he already knew how to roll a joint (Cough-cough)
The cops messed with his sister
Heart of ice, used to stress
But this one, he wasn’t going to let go (Son of a b***)
The feeling of revenge in his heart
He kept on, waiting for the change of shift (Yeah)
Right at the corner of the battalion, he’s carrying a cannon (Here he comes)
He spotted the cop, held back his emotion
The man was alone, walking out through the gate
He looked to the sky, asking for courage and strength to complete the mission
At just the right moment (Ah-ah), he pulled the trigger aimed at his head
And made the brains, the ideas, and everything worthless fly
One less vermin walking on Earth
Rotting in his cell, he told the newspaper
That now he’s treated like an animal
And if he could go back in time, just to change that moment
Maybe he would do it all the same
