Yeah
Let's go

[Verse 1]
In the days of the plagues
I'm just tryin' to stay sane
I'm just tryin' to stay fed
Tryin' not to find the grave
Tryin' not to lose my mind; It's gone already
Talkin' bout a war? It's civil war already
Hell no, I ain't ready
Two kids locked inside
With [?] barely got time to make spaghetti
The $1200 they gave me
Barely make up for the fact
It's a fuckin' fact that this thing you call America
Is dead already
I came here from the future on a missile
Told you motherfuckers back in '05 when Rome burned
Nero played the fiddle
Now it's 2020, they play violins against the violence
The anthropocene bodycount brought me out of my retirement
Everyone is lyin' while the body bags are pilin' in
I was cryin' then
Asking where the fire went
It came back in an instant
On the wrong side of the law
'Til we burn down every precinct
[Verse 2]
In the days of the plagues
Cities up in flames
Led by descendants of former slaves
Breakin' chains
But many more remain
Don't listen to the Peace Police
They just wanna stay dry and complain
You can keep your ultra-wet non-profit-status blankets
We out here dancin' in the rain
Stay dry if you wanna
While we dancin' in the rain
I'm sorry if you lost someone to a killer cop
Or coronavirus in my lungs
This is how the world was won
We're all Mayan sacrifice to the sun
And it ain't done until we avenge every last one
In the days of the plague
They gave you a dollar an hour more than minimum wage
"Thank you for your service"
Like you signed up to invade
Enlisted for war
But all you wanted was paid day off and a raise
And if the virus had anything to say
About the workings of power
It's that most of you motherfuckers can't eat without peeps making $8.25 an hour
[Bridge]
Don't get me started on the prisons
Cuz I know liberals won't listen
But it ain't hard to imagine
The kinda hell they been trapped in

[Verse 3, Outro]
In the days of the plague
I learned the difference between a want and a need
If anything was clear in 2019, it's clearer now:
There ain't no society
All my heroes dead
All my gods have left
All they hand is death
All they understand is force
So we give 'em that
Every epoch reels
From the cut [?]
From its own Achilles' Heel

Nights turn into days
It was so easy to break
Tsunami on the way
Do you wanna drown or ride the wave?
Nights turn into days
It was so easy to break
Tsunami on the way
Do you wanna drown or ride the wave?
If anything was clear in 2019, it's clearer now:
There ain't no society
All my heroes dead
All my gods have left
All they hand is death
All they understand is force
So we give 'em that

If anything was clear in 2019, it's clearer now:
There ain't no society
All my heroes dead
All my gods have left
All they hand is death
All they understand is force ["is force" echoes"]
