The Evil That Men Do (feat. Cadence Weapon)

We lost touch for a while Now we're reconnecting I don't know how you feel, how you feel Things have changed my perception It seems to me First there needs to be An admission of guilt For what we did For all we see Atonement Beg for forgiveness Bear witness Be humble Beg for forgiveness Bear witness Be humble The evil that men do I have these ideals and dreams Who would blame me if I don't stick to them? It's okay to let plans crumble and fall Into the ditch we have kicked them Beg for forgiveness Bear witness Be humble Beg for forgiveness Bear witness Be humble The evil that men do As I wade slowly in the water Through the weeds and over rocks I try not to stumble and fall And not give up I lose my composure My sense of being one There's a place I can aim for The evil that men do I don't want to break this up But I built the whole thing up Right from the ground right up Ground right up, ground right up I don't want to bend the rules But there's pressure on this fool And it makes me tear it up, tear it up, tear it up Do not ask for permission, beg for forgiveness Then get down to business, do it with the quickness Move fast and break things, don't ask and take things The powers that be make cash and hate things Lately, it's been smoke rings on everything World on fire, been hoping for better things Electing the ones pandering and meddling Pedal to the metal, then back to backpedaling Upset, can't see the sunset, it's unsettling Unrest at every address, here come to reckoning Silence is deafening, press is unquestioning Pressure is deepening, leaders are unwelcoming Don't know the cost, then you better pay attention Bear witness to the price of ambition Stare at the eclipse, even though you know the risk Lift your head, don't fall in the abyss The evil that men do Lift your head, raise the dead Stop the voice that holds it down Lift your head, raise the dead Stop the voice that holds it down
