Fitz N Startz Intro (Jay): They’re blind to their disguise  Pay attention it’s time to analyze!  A million pairs of eyes  Closed cause they’re hypnotized  Verse 1 (Jay):   Will they remember you for mixing coke with Hennessy  Or will you be like Dr. King  Will you leave behind a great legacy  Come together lift every voice and sing?  It was all created from nothing  But one day it all must end!  A new year passes the future is reached  Chorus (Dirty Walt & Jay): So cherish the moments that you’re here my friendddddd Til the enddddd  My friendddddd In the enddddddd Verse 2 (Dirty Walt): Don’t put your faith into decepticons they want to leave you on the streets unarmed, Right when you see a spark of light, They will put it out, Keep trying to reach the fucking finish line, Old cleats are fucking up my time, I will push through, This shit ain’t new, Look at this old fool,  Creep down the avenue, I can’t stop though I’m crazy as hell,  All my life I’ve been trying to ring that bell,  Ring that bell just so I can be free, Crazy Ass eyes over there looking at me, Chorus Verse 3 (Dirty Walt): Now the fuse is lit ready to blow up,  All because you didn’t give a fuck, Open up your eyes, we can not be stopped, Just a gift to civilization as we tear up the fucking nation, As we told you,  This shit won’t do, Now you boohoo, We say fuck you,  Yeah!!!
