STRAY FROM THE PATH LYRICS

1. The Opening Move

They want the pawns to fight each other
And say that we're not the same
Well, I say, "don't hate the player
Hate the game"
They want the pawns to fight each other
And say that we're not the same
Well, I say, "don't hate the player
Hate the game"
They want the pawns to fight each other
And say that we're not the same
Well, I say, "don't hate the player
Hate the game"
They want the pawns to fight each other
And say that we're not the same
Well, I say, "don't hate the player
Hate the game"

So, what's it gonna be?
You with us or the enemy?
So, what's it gonna be?
Your move, motherfucker
It's your move, motherfucker

What's it gonna be?
What's it gonna be?

2. Loudest In The Room

"Greatest country in the world"
What the fuck do you mean?
"Greatest country in the world"
Agree to disagree
Fabric won't define me (no fuck that)
March behind it, blindly (won't be doing that)
Grab hold that flag pole, grip tight and squeeze
Wave that flag, that was made overseas
The loudest in the room
Leads us to our doom
Self-determined to self-destruct
Unaware of your damage, you close-minded fuck
"Greatest country in the world"
What the fuck do you mean?
"Greatest country in the world"
Agree to disagree
The first step in solving a problem is knowing there is one
(Lord knows there is one)
Taught to take pride in shit that's not yours
How could you hate someone that you've never met before?
The loudest in the room
Leads us to our doom
Self-determined to self-destruct
Unaware of your damage, you close-minded fuck
Join or die? I won't pick a side
Won't lay down my life for an invisible line
Join or die? I won't pick a side
Pledge no allegiance

3. Goodnight Alt-Right

You just got knocked the fuck out
The punishment fits the crime
So keep your hand held high and you'll find out why
That this raised fist ain't afraid to fly

77 since the 88
Had to look at my phone 'cause I couldn't believe the date
It's 2017 but in a 40s trend
With a racist president that's "making everything great again"
But tell me when that this was fucking okay
All the streets and the screens popping triple K's
You want the peace? Uh-uh, nah that won't fly here
'Cause if you blink they're pushing you back 300 years
Call it what you want but it's an eye for an eye
I'll mark you with a down right down – right up right
They're trying to censor that they're the fucking oppressor
And all you say is that it's wrong when they're swinging at Spencer?
Brand yourself like a bull when it sees red
"Make the lie big" that's what he said
Fuck him and fuck you too, and appreciate
That if you preach hate, then expect hate

You just got knocked the fuck out
The punishment fits the crime
So keep your hand held high and you'll find out why
That this raised fist ain't afraid to fly

Lowest of the low, rats out of their holes
We never used to let these dickheads have any control
Speech is "free" but it comes with a price
And if you're speaking out some bullshit I'll give you advice
Hit 'em with a left a left and a right
Got 'em dropping like flies with the stars in their eyes
So fuck them and fuck you too and appreciate that
If you preach hate, then expect hate

You just got knocked the fuck out
The punishment fits the crime
So keep your hand held high and you'll find out why
That this raised fist ain't afraid to fly

What makes you think that this is okay?
What makes you think you're the superior race?
What makes you think that this is alright?
Goodnight alt-right

If you preach hate, then expect hate
Nazi punks fuck off

4. Let's Make A Deal

Everything has its price
But the price is wrong bitch
The future was written on a cashed check
Like there's nothing to lose on an all in bet
Fear and loathing, so fucking sadistic
Play the people like a game, they're a fucking statistic
Born to lose, bound to fall
A dog running in circles never catches his tail
Rob the poor to feed the rich and push that agenda
'Cause you're Donnie's bitch
Everything has a price
But the price is wrong bitch
Slash the funs like a cut throat, ear to ear
A blind person in the car and you let them steer?
So you know where we're going? What's the ETA?
Downhill with the brakes cut, lead the way
1600 Penn, with a smile on your face
Rolling into the room like you own the place
Fake it 'til you make it, don't earn it, just take it
A promise to our youth and we just watched you fucking break it
Money makes the world go around
Money makes the world burn down
The union of our wealth and state has our future looking fucking great!
Climbing your way to the top
But the higher you climb, the further you drop
Everything has a price
But the price is wrong bitch

5. They Always Take The Guru

I can't believe the news, I can't catch my breath
A phone call and a message no one expects
I don't want to believe it but I know it's true
I'm still holding onto what's left of you
Now I know
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
It's nights like these that remind me that we're all temporary
Thoughts in my head keep passing
I got no answers for the questions I'm asking
Why does death touch the ones that keep us grounded?
I'm up to my neck in scum, fucking surrounded
'Cause when I wake up and I see who's around
Reality sets in, it makes me wanna drown
I live in a world with pieces of shit
They walk scot-free, I'm fucking sick of it
It's nights like these that remind me that we're all temporary
Why does death touch the once that keep us grounded?
Up to my neck in scum, fucking surrounded
They always take the guru
It should have been you
Now you're gone with the wind, everything is still
I'll stay here forever to watch what you've built

6. Plead The Fifth

Man, you can't fix stupid
I tried to hear you out, you just fucking blew it
Man, you can't fix stupid
Now I think I'm gonna lose it
Yeah I'm gonna fucking lose
Shut your mouth, I'm done with you
Pointing fingers, I'm flip one right back at you
Shut your mouth, I'm done with you
Yeah you're done and the world moves on without you
Point and look, their beliefs come from a different book
Scared and shook about all the lives you think they took
False pride, worldwide
Incidents on every front page and every headline
Take a second, identify the message
Over a hundred hate crimes post-election, yup!
Ladies and gentlemen, the court is now in session
We raise red flags, while we pledge the one in question
911 – this is not a test, propaganda pushes terror as a threat
Shut your mouth, I'm done with you
Pointing fingers, I'm flip one right back at you
Shut your mouth, I'm done with you
Yeah you're done and the world moves on without you
False Evidence Appearing Real (FEAR)
Set up the green screen and put a Muslim at the scene
We always take what we want
Yeah we rob and steal
Every village we bomb, it's just part of the deal
Welcome to the melting pot, motherfucker
If you don't like it, then get the fuck out
It's written like a script
While the country pleads the fifth
Yeah, it's written and it's fixed
While the country pleads the fifth
911 – this is not a test, propaganda pushes terror as a threat
Man, you can't fix stupid
I tried to hear you out, you just fucking blew it
Man, you can't fix stupid
Now I think I'm gonna lose it
Yeah I'm gonna fucking lose
Shut your mouth, I'm done with you
Pointing fingers, I'm flip one right back at you
Shut your mouth, I'm done with you
Yeah you're done and the world moves on without you

7. Strange Fiction

[feat. Keith Buckley]

Strange fiction
My life's a plot so twist with me
Strange fiction
Nothing more than a tragedy
Strange fiction
I just exist in a memory
Strange fiction
My life's a plot so just twist with me
One step forward, ten steps back
First in line on the wrong train track
Life's a sad story I'll never learn
Turn the page? I'd rather watch it burn
Another dead end, always in trouble
It's like I got the wrong pieces to a fucking puzzle
Dead to the world, go get a shovel
It's like I got the wrong pieces to a fucking puzzle
Strange fiction
My life's a plot so twist with me
Strange fiction
Nothing more than a tragedy
Strange fiction
I just exist in a memory
Strange fiction
My life's a plot so just twist with me
Elapsed in judgement – elapsed in time
Have I become a myth in your mind?
Stuck on hold – nobody calls
Was it fucking worth it after all?
Another dead end, always in trouble
It's like I got the wrong pieces to a fucking puzzle
Dead to the world, go get a shovel
It's like I got the wrong pieces to a fucking puzzle
You know my name, not my story
You've heard what I've done, in all of its glory
So dance with me for a day and you'll finally see
All that I know is fucking misery
You wanna run with the wolves?
You better learn how to track that blood, boy
I see you clutching your pearls
Go back inside, this is not your hunt
Go on. Pray for yourself. Go on. Pray or our sins
Go on. Pray for the world. Go on.
Tell your god you found it all means nothing

8. All Day & A Night

[feat. Bryan Garris]

Down for life
Three strikes, it's 25 to life
Mandatory minimum, never forgiven 'em, we're killing 'em
Public defender, might as well surrender
Doesn't matter for the first time offender
In and out like a homemade shank
Take 'em back to the maximum security bank
Post the bail, cut the deal
Another brick in the wall, another spoke in the wheel
They always come back for more
Get your stamp on the way out the door
'Cause the shit show never ends
Thank you, come again
What you gonna do?
There's no choice when they come for you
They got it twisted like licorice
A quick fix like a nail to a crucifix
Lock you up 'til it makes you sick
Then call it complicated like arithmetic
They gave you a number when they took your name
He's your go to jail card, it's a fucking game
They don't skip a beat, they line 'em up and list 'em
That's just the rhythm of the system
Just when you think you're out, they pull me back in
'Cause when it comes to getting better, don't know where to begin
The reality is you will never be free
You're sentenced to life
Lights out, motherfucker
They always come back for more
Get your stamp on the way out the door
'Cause the shit show never ends
Thank you, come again

9. The House Always Wins

[feat. Vinnie Paz]

[Hillary Clinton:]
We came, we saw, he died
We came, we saw, he died
We came, we saw, he died
We came, we saw, he died
We came, we saw, he died
We came, we saw...

Break, motherfucker
Yo they're making you an offer that you can't refuse
Yeah break, motherfucker
Yeah you bet against the house and you're gonna lose
Break, mother fucker
We're all fucked no matter who we choose
Yeah break, motherfucker
Yeah you bet against the house and you're gonna lose

Bare witness
Yo business is business
A two faced coin either side there's no difference
Who can you buy to tell a lie? This shit is viscous
The deck is rigged don't call em out they keep a hit list
Two sides polarized, social suicide
Homegrown invasion to enslave the nation
But you decide
Burn the ballots sweep em under the rug
Who's your leader? Trick question
None of the above

[Donald Trump:]
They are not our friends. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people

Break, motherfucker
Yo they're making you an offer that you can't refuse
Yeah break, motherfucker
Yeah you bet against the house and you're gonna lose
Break, mother fucker
We're all fucked no matter who we choose
Yeah break, motherfucker
Yeah you bet against the house and you're gonna lose

Here we go again
The cycle repeats, four years of defeat
Wrong way down a one way street
The fix is in, the price will make your head spin
Their calling the shots, and you're not
Politicians hitting the jack pot
The debates begun
Gays, gods and guns
Everyone hates everyone
I'm done
Burn the ballots sweep em under the rug
Who's your leader? Trick question
None of the above

You wanna keep 'em silent
You try to keep 'em silent
You wanna keep 'em silent
But the people wanna riot
You try to keep 'em silent
But we wanna fucking riot
We wanna fucking riot
We wanna fucking riot
You wanna keep 'em silent
The people wanna riot
You try to keep 'em silent
We wanna fucking riot

Break, motherfucker
Yo they're making you an offer that you can't refuse
Yeah break, motherfucker
Yeah you bet against the house and you're gonna lose
Break, mother fucker
We're all fucked no matter who we choose
Yeah break, motherfucker
Yeah you bet against the house and you're gonna lose

10. Only Death Is Real

We live on this earth filled with terrible people
One body of diamonds where nobody's equal
Our home's our cells, our city's the prison
Stolen land by politicians

Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold
You won't be born again, death is after your soul

Line 'em up across the board
Eight by Eight under the bishop's sword
We are the pawns placed in our squares
You're all wrong, all we know is warfare

Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold
You won't be born again, death is after your soul

Nothing repeats, there's always the sequel
We're the pieces of the game, inescapable evil
They want the pawns to fight each other and say we're not the same
Well, I say, "don't hate the player, hate the game"

Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold
You won't be born again, death is after your soul

Hold your position, for heaven's sake
You can beg, you can pray, but nothing will change
The march won't stop, so don't watch the clock
Only death is real, it all goes back in the box
It all goes back in the box

Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold
You won't be born again, death is after your soul
Nothing is permanent, nothing is gold
You won't be born again, death is after your soul

Death is after your soul
Death is after your soul
Death is after your soul
Death is after your soul
Death is after your soul
Death is after your soul
