LyricsEdit

 I see you had your mind all made up
 You group of pitiful liars
 Before I woke to face the day
 Your master plan transpired
 Something told me
 This job has more to meet the eye
 My song is not believed?
 My words somewhat deceiving?
 Now I'm unwhole
 
 You've waged a war of nerves
 But you can't crush the kingdom
 Can't be what your idols are
 Can't leave the scar
 You cry for compensation
 I ask you please just give us...
 ...5 minutes alone
 just give us...
 ...5 minutes alone
 
 I read your eyes, your mind was made up
 You took me for a fool
 You used complexion of my skin
 For a counter racist tool
 You can't burn me
 I've spilled my guts out in the past
 Taken advantage of
 Because you know where I come from
 My past
 
 You've waged a war of nerves
 But you can't crush the kingdom
 Can't be what your idols are
 Can't leave the scar
 You cry for compensation
 I ask you please just give us...
 ...5 minutes alone
 just give me...
 ...5 minutes alone
 
 Headbuttin' some broken glass
 ...5 minutes alone
 
 I ask you please just give us...
 ...5 minutes alone
 just give me...
 ...5 minutes alone
 
 I ask you please just give us
 I ask you please just give us
 I ask you please just give us
 I ask you please just give us
 I ask you please just give us
 I ask you please just give us
 I ask you please just give us
 I ask you please just give us
