the big heist - takedown lyrics

[verse 1]
wicked lies, energized, seen it all with my own two eyes
what’s the point of tryin’ if there ain’t no prize
and the game is rigged from the start, so get wise
can’t be a ward of the state, your mama raised you
can’t eat the food on your plate, they take it all too
fall in line, become a tool like the rest
owe your first+born child ’till you pass the test
wake up and for god’s sake, make a stand!
thought you were a friend but it’s a sleight of hand
drivin’ down the road, pullin’ over in the breakdown
sirens from behind, this is nothin’ but a takedown

[chorus]
you wanna know what it is
this is a takedown
and if i see you again
you gonna break down
you see you had your chance
to call it a truce
but it’s about to get real
’cause i’m about to let it loose

[verse 2]
grab what you can, say a prayer, count of three, get ready
if you blink too long, grow old, fall deadly
pick up the beat, follow rhythm and the cadence
it don’t make sense, like two jobs working to barely make rent
get bent, there’s a time when this meant
payment, if i could but i can’t
put the fear of god in me, beg and repent
the bank don’t give a d+mn about good intent
[verse 3]
any man can finish a rhyme
and any man can be ahead of his time
from his head to caboose, necktie from a noose
a man knows when to go from sneakers to boots
a man knows when to riot and loot
a man knows to solve problems and get to the root
there’s a time when it’s right to speak truth to power
say the wrong knock+knock on the emerald tower
toughen up and don’t flinch, look ’em in the eye
and whatever you do, do your best not to die

[verse 4]
in times of war, you gotta speak to higher ground
when it’s time to fight, you ain’t thinkin’ ’bout the crown
it’s a life or death struggle, to the victors go the trouble
and the village turns to rubble, move to rhythm in a bubble
it moves like lightning, now be ready for the thunder
they say miles away, you blink, it all goes under
you turn around, confused, lookin’ stunned
life’s a b+tch then you die, so you better have fun
sharpenin’ my wish, it’s like a poison spear
pushin’ you back when you got too near
should’ve triggered the alarm when you came around
it’s a sign of the times with a good ol+fashioned takedown
