Now, there ain't but 20 thousand police in the whole town Can you dig it? Can you dig it? (I can dig it) This is my manifesto, the reason why I did it The press will call me evil and label me a menace Don't let the lies deceive you, they pushed me to my limit Racism's a disease, it's only right I kill it Black blood, you're quick to spill it, justified rape and pillage Hide behind your image, and terrorize my village Your life, you won't live it, your death will be horrific A 147 grain bullet to be specific My .9, I'm liftin' it to execute a hypocrite Creep up a little bit and squeeze, I'm sick of it I walk away slow as the people gather 'round Quick change of clothes, blend back in the crowd Let the paramedics work, right? That's not your job Now you're dead up in the dirt, right? 'Cause that badge is the mob A big blue gang, how do problems get solved? By incendiary devices, your body's dissolved I know all of your tactics, flak jackets and fog Call us niggas, take a life quicker, like you a god So I'm aiming with my rifle, my heart's become hard You're the devil's disciple, so I pray on your car Black vigilante, black vigilante 30 magazines for my AR-15 Black vigilante, black vigilante Suppressors and magazines for my M-16 Black vigilante Don't try to apprehend me I'll black and blue your family, don't try to apprehend me I'll black and blue your family, don't try to apprehend me I'll black and blue your family, don't try to apprehend me (Come on, Cyrus, we're with you! Go ahead, bro) The world wouldn't listen, I begged for assistance Everywhere I turned, more and more resistance I traveled long distance, they called your death instant (come on, Cyrus, we're with you!) You may not believe it, but my weapons are convincing (go ahead, bro) I monitor the airwaves, watch for the X-rays Blood is the appetizer, death is the entrée I want to hear him scream, line him up with the beam I remember we would take lives for the same team I know you're gonna follow me, try to intervene So the exit wounds are ugly, entry wounds are clean I catch you at the red light, oh, you're looking for me? These bullets are my slaves, it's time to set them free I smile as my lead niggas run away from me Please catch 'em for me, I smiled when you saw me Innocent bystanders are witnessing something gory They have nothing to fear, only you die in this story Don't try to apprehend me, I'll black and blue your family Don't try to apprehend me, I'll black and blue your family Don't try to apprehend me, I'll black and blue your family I'll black and blue your family, don't try to apprehend me I heard you on the radio gasping, barely breathing I slowly drove away as I bid you a good evening We both know the reason why it's open season You promoted treason, you hold an evil allegiance Guilty of malfeasance, you ignored my grievance If you would have listened, it's your death that we would prevent It would not have become a homicidal disagreement We both know I'm right, but you label me an extremist I'll stitch you fuckers up and make the murder seamless The killing's tailor made, l'm dressing up the demons People don't believe you 'til the world is in upheaval It's an ongoing saga, believe me, this is the prequel Blinded by my black skin, now your head is see-through The ones that I kill first, they are just a preview Meet me in the mountains, let's play a childish game I'll hide while you seek, then we'll go up in flames
