[feat. Dave Mustaine]

Curfew is now in place. Return to your homes. Any congregating of two or more people outside of your homes will result in you being arrested on sight. Anyone possessing a firearm or any item or instrument that can be used as a weapon will be deemed an enemy of the state and will be arrested on sight. UN peacekeeping garrisons have severed all data transmissions and telephone communications for national security. Any violation of martial law will result in immediate arrest and trial for treason. All traitors will be shot. America is now engaged in civil war (Civil war)

It's already started, maybe too late to stop
It's already on, they shooting the cops
They pushing the line, racism is high
The country's divided, you know the fuck why
The press of the pull, and push of the truth
The public is dumb, delusional youth
Our leaders are evil, lie after lie
The public is armed, and ready to die (Ready to die) (Civil war)
What side you on when the shit pops off?
Black or white, wrong or right? (Civil war)
Rich or poor, urban war
Shit might just jump off tonight (Civil war)
What side you on when the shit pops off?
Black or white, wrong or right? (Civil war)
This shit is true
Coming soon to a town near you
They don't care about nothing, just personal gain
These politicians wouldn't mind a war, motherfuck your pain
Cops are killing people and never do time
In the hood we killing each other like that ain't no crime
I'm feeling the tension, don't tell me you don't
These fools will get us all killed, don't tell me they won't
There's guns on the streets, it's already too late
The net's overloaded with pure racial hate
The press just instigates: they love a fight
Don't give a fuck about who gets hurt, just news that night
They try and twist the problem like it's white and black
But if you come to shoot me, yo
I'm shooting back (Civil war)
What side you on when the shit pops off?
Black or white, wrong or right? (Civil war)
Rich or poor, urban war
Shit might just jump off tonight (Civil war)
What side you on when the shit pops off?
Black or white, wrong or right? (Civil war)
This shit is true
Coming soon to a town near you (Civil war)
What side you on when the shit pops off?
Black or white, wrong or right? (Civil war)
Rich or poor, urban war
Shit might just jump off tonight (Civil war)
What side you on when the shit pops off?
Black or white, wrong or right? (Civil war)
This shit is true

2. The Ski Mask Way

Police are hunting for two suspects in a violent home invasion, they are worried that these men may strike again...

I've got no plans for getting loot legal,
All black gear on twelve inch suppressor
44 Desert Eagle
Layin' in your parking lot,
Creeping in your lobby,
Resist,
No problem pushing holes through your fuckin' body,
You can't escape me if I want what you got,
You can't evade me no chance to call the cops,
I'm doing my job this is just what I do,
You makin' money
I come and visit you...

[2x]
I gotta get paid,
I gotta get paid,
I gotta get paid
The ski mask way

I'm in your rear view
When you leave the club,
How cold could I be,
You look like food to me,
All on Instagram,
Showin' that cash off,
What you really hope,
I don't take this mask off,
Don't make me punish you,
Don't wanna hurt your wife,
Come up off that watch,
It ain't worth your life,
I have a cool wool,
Life has no meaning,
We roll late night and
Hunt human beings...

[2x]
I gotta get paid,
I gotta get paid,
I gotta get paid,
The ski mask way

OK, you know what the fuck this is
Pay attention,
Everybody move against that wall,
Get down on your knees,
Lock your fingers behind your motherfuckin' head,
Now I didn't come here for no bullshit,
We want what's in that motherfuckin' safe,
You, you know the combination,
Bring your punk ass over here,
I will blow your motherfucking brains out,
You're gonna open that safe right now,
That's your bitch, grab his bitch, bring her over here,
No, I will not shoot you,
I'm gonna shoot the bitch,
Open the motherfuckin' safe now motherfucker,
This is business, nigga...
New car, we might come to visit you,
Big jewels, we might come to visit you,
Flash cash, we might come to visit you,
Post pictures, we might come to visit you,
Bring spurs, we might come to visit you,
Sell drugs, we might come to visit you,
Brag a lot, we might come to visit you,
Pray to God, we don't come to visit you...

[2x]
I gotta get paid,
I gotta get paid,
I gotta get paid,
The ski mask way

4. All Love Is Lost

[feat. Max Cavalera]

I thought you were my friend,
I gave you my trust,
I would've died for you,
Then the second I turn my back,
You fuck me over,
All love is lost,
Now you have the nerve to tell me you're sorry,
All love is lost,
You gotta be outta your motherfuckin' mind,

All love is lost,
You never loved me, you never fuckin' did,
All love is lost,
Once you betray me,
That is the fuckin' end,
All love is lost...

I don't give a fuck 'bout what you do with your life [4x]

I don't give a fuck about you,
You can fuckin' die,
I could fuckin' care less,
When you fuckin' cry,
My heart is stone cold,
You left a broken soul,
You destroyed everything I thought was true,
And now you talk shit,
'cause I don't give a fuck,
And now I'm long gone
Joke is on you,
I don't care where you are,
Don't care what you do,
You say you hate me
Cool
I fuckin' hate you, hate you,

All love is lost, all love is lost,
You never loved me, you never fuckin' did,
All love is lost,
Once you betray me,
That is the fuckin' end,
All love is is lost...

See, you the kind of motherfucker with no honor,
The kind of motherfucker with no loyalty,
Motherfucker you can't trust,
Cross me, and then you want another chance...
One strike and I don't care about your fuckin' life,
You're not no friend to me
You're fucking dead to me,
Don't give a fuck about the shit that that you was goin' through,
You did some shit to me, I could never do to you,
'cause I'm not no fake drunk,
I'm not no punk bitch,
You're lucky I ain't put your ass in a dark ditabbed on the floorch,
And now you want some type of sympathy from me now,
If you were stabbed on the floor, I'd watch you bleed out....

[Max vocals:]
H, is for your hell I unleash,
A, I arise to crush talents,
T, I am your terror,
E, destroy the enemy...

[Ice-t vocals:]
People say I'm cold-hearted, why,
'cause you fucked over me,
'cause you broke every promise you made to me,
Because you said you were my friend
And then you stabbed me in my motherfucking back,

All love is lost, all love is lost, all love is lost,
You never loved me, you never fucking did,
Once you betray me,
That is the fucking end,
All love is lost.

7. Walk With Me…

[feat. Randy Blythe]

8. Here I Go Again

9. No Lives Matter

[Intro (Ice-T):]
It's unfortunate that we even have to say 'Black Lives Matter', I mean, if you go through history nobody ever gave a fuck.
I mean, you can kill black people in the street, nobody goes to jail, nobody goes to prison.
But when I say 'Black Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter', that's like if I was to say 'Gay Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter'.
If I said, 'Women's Lives Matter' and you say 'All Lives Matter', you're diluting what I'm saying.
You're diluting the issue.
The issue isn't about everybody.
It's about black lives at the moment.
But the truth of the matter is they don't really give a fuck about anybody, if you break this shit all the way down to the low fucking dirty-ass truth.

[Verse 1]
We say that 'Black Lives Matter'
Well truthfully they really never have
No one ever really gave a fuck
Just read your bullshit history books
But honestly it ain't just black
It's yellow, it's brown, it's red
It's anyone who ain't got cash
Poor whites that they call trash

[Pre-chorus]
They can't fuck with us
Once they realise we're all on the same side
They can't split us up
And let them prosper off the divide
They can't fuck with us
Once they realise we're all on the same side
They can't split us up
And let them prosper off the divide

[Chorus]
Don't fall for the bait and switch
Racism is real, but not it
They fuck whoever can't fight back
But now we gotta change all that
The people have had enough
Right now, it's them against us
This shit is ugly to the core
When it comes to the poor
No lives matter

[Verse 2]
America's always been
A place that judge my skin
And racism is real as fuck
Ain't no way to play that off
And in the eyes of the law
Black skin has always stood for poor
This is basic shit
They know who they fucking with

[Pre-chorus]
They can't fuck with us
Once they realise we're all on the same side
They can't split us up
And let them prosper off the divide
They can't fuck with us
Once they realise we're all on the same side
They can't split us up
And let them prosper off the divide

[Chorus]
Don't fall for the bait and switch
Racism is real, but not it
They fuck whoever can't fight back
But now we gotta change all that
The people have had enough
Right now, it's them against us
This shit is ugly to the core
When it comes to the poor
No lives matter

[Spoken (Ice-T):]
You never see them pulling rich people out of their cars in their neighbourhoods, because they know they got lawyers.
They know they'll sue their ass.
They can tell who to fuck with.
Unfortunately, black or brown skin has always meant poor.
They're profiling you kid.
They know you can't fight back.
But we about to.

[Bridge (News Reports):]
Investigators say they are reviewing body camera and dashcam video of Tuesday's shooting.
Police say that Keith Lamont Scott did have a gun in his hand when an officer shot him.
But a new picture of the scene shows something at Scott's feet.
A source tells our Charlotte affiliate it may be a gun, but people in the neighbourhood say the father of four was holding a book instead.
Officer Vinson was in plain clothes when the shooting happened.
He was not wearing a body-worn camera.
But we are told that three other officers wore theirs.
The department is under increasing pressure to release police videos from the shooting.
But the police chief says he will not do that right now because of the investigation.

Ladies and gentlemen. This shit is deeper than racism

[Chorus]
Don't fall for the bait and switch
Racism is real, but not it
They fuck whoever can't fight back
But now we gotta change all that
The people have had enough
Right now, it's them against us
This shit is ugly to the core
When it comes to the poor
No lives matter

This shit is ugly to the core
When it comes to the poor
No lives matter

This shit is ugly to the core
When it comes to the poor
No lives matter

10. Bloodlust

11. Black Hoodie

All these people out here,
Trippin' off of police brutality,
Like this shit is something new.
Gimme a fucking break,
I been talking about this shit for over twenty years,
And now you can kill a motherfucker,
Just because of how he's dressed,
Are you fucking serious?

Got on my black hoodie,
It pulled up on my head,
I didn't have a gun,
So why am I dead?
You didn't have to shoot me,
And that's a known fact,
And now I'm laying face down,
With bullets in my back
[2x]

This is how it happened...
Out late night just chilling with my clique,
No one had a gun,
Everyone's legit,
One of my boys is drunk,
I'm talking toed back,
He could barely talk,
Off that cognac,
Then the cops rolled up,
I don't know why he ran,
Maybe traffic warrants,
I still don't understand,
The motherfucker's crazy,
The homies laugh,
He might have got a block,
And then we heard shots,
The fucking cop shot him,
Yo my niggas dead,
They hit him twice in the back,
Once in the head and leg,
We all went crazy on that pig shit,
They aimed at us,
They meant business,
They didn't have to shoot him,
He didn't have a gun,
What they're gonna say is,
Why the fuck he run?
We can't be seeing this,
I'm like what the fuck,
My mans laying dead,
They're still covering him up...
You motherfuckers,
Call the fucking paramedics man,
My man's not breathing man,
The fuck's the matter with you,
Ah
Shit...

Got on my black hoodie,
It pulled up on my head,
I didn't have a gun,
So why am I dead?
You didn't have to shoot
Me,
And that's a known fact,
And now I'm laying face down with bullets in my back.

...woop woop,
That's the sound of the police,
That's the sound on the streets,
Woop woop,
That's the sound on the streets,
That's the sound of the police

Now it's your day in court,
We gotta have hope,
Maybe some justice,
Someone got it on video,
They say blue something,
He used to gang bang,
They made my homie look like fucking shit on everything,
Had on a black hoodie,
That's all it took,
D.a. portrayed as a dirty fucking street crook,
They let the cops off,
Nobody fucking marched,
Nobody had a clue,
This never made the news

Got on my black hoodie [3x]
