Текст песни Evil Hearts - Code Red

I know the heart of the lie
We believe it's in the people
Maybe that's the root of evil

I know the heart of the lie
We believe it's in the people
Maybe that's the root of evil

If you look hard enough into a man's soul
You may find a pit that's as dark and as deep as a manhole
And you can't know, how much evil a man holds
Or when his heart turn to stone or when his blood ran cold
Behind every corner there's a story to be told
About normally people who just morally fold
On the road, when I'm touring doing these shows
I see it everyday it's right in front of my nose
I'm always watching my back from people wanting my doe
So I watch how I'm packing and keep a gun in my clothes
We ain't put here forever, when it's done I'ma go
With a smile knowing I reached every one of my goals
But every time I turn around it's like the game wants blood
And the thing I most hate is the thing I once loved
Snakes coming out the woodwork
And everybody is putting out their hands without putting in footwork
For money, some hit the block hard and push work
Hoping that you hit the rock and get hooked worse
Robbed of your innocence and robbed of a life
Cause you spend half your time serving out jail sentences
We never know if the ending is
Going to be a happy one or one where we die when it finishes
I read the book of Genesis and have a Revelation
Evil is my nemesis, I'm seeking elevation

I know the heart of the lie
We believe it's in the people
Maybe that's the root of evil

I know the heart of the lie
We believe it's in the people
Maybe that's the root of evil

Now are we all bad, that's the main question I face
Cause I seen a lot things that keep testing my faith
Like I've seen a gun shoved in my face
And the death of a friend who
Would've gladly caught a slug in my place
I never know when and how the reaper might silence me
Violently? Or when I sleep at night quietly?
I think privately, "Who can I trust?"
When my so called friends can look in my eye and lie to me
If necessary, y'all should ride and die with me
My high times turn to stone cold sobriety
Something inside of me turned to brick
When my best friend went bad and learned to flip
He was a preacher's son in college he deserved respect
Now he's coked up calling me, a nervous wreck
And one of my crew members used to serve it wet
He did a bid now he's back, did he serve his debt?
He's on the right path now trying to turn correct
But the evil always got us, you ain't learn that yet?
I know the heart of the lie
We believe it's in the people
Maybe that's the root of evil

I know the heart of the lie
We believe it's in the people
Maybe that's the root of evil

There's been times when we've all sin we're quite the same
But when it's all said and done, how'd you fight the pain?
It's like mind over matter
But at times the dark part of our minds overshadow
When our hearts lose the battle
That's why we poison our body to lose memory
And treat ourselves like our own worst enemy
We devote time and energy to chasing cash
So we do the unspeakable to make it fast
But instead of trying to make it last
We'd rather spend it at a club watching a chick shake her naked ass
Will it ever end? I hate to ask
What we do now, probably won't negate the past
But these streets are on fire ain't no safest path
So in case of emergency, break the glass
Like a state of emergency, these tasteless acts
Got my mind spinning and my heart racing fast
Cause I'm guilty as the next man for going astray
Will I start a good thing just to throw it away?
Is my only fact of life
The fact that I see the afterlife before I've lived half my life?
You can see my pain at times I don't mask it right
Instead of crying sometimes I gotta laugh at night
Cause the stars in the sky don't seem half as bright
It's like the world went dark cause God snatched the light

I know the heart of the lie
We believe it's in the people
Maybe that's the root of evil

I know the heart of the lie
We believe it's in the people
Maybe that's the root of evil
