Tombstone Da Deadman Necessary Evil
[Intro]
See the villains' eyes?
Larger than the other characters
They insinuate a slightly skewed perspective on how they see the world
Just off-normal
[Verse 1]
I learned a lot of lessons in this long life
Like there's nobody that's keeping track when you're doing right
All they seem to remember is when they think you're wrong
No matter the instrument playing, it's the same song
It doesn't matter who you with you really all alone
Just because you lay your head there don't make that place your home
Reality's brutal, it steps in and takes its toll
Believe what you're shown and never what the f..ck you're told
Everything you don't do shining like a beacon
Any words you're speaking get's twisted until you're weakened
If you gon' be the bad guy, regardless of the outcome
You might as well embrace it it's something you'll never outrun
Labeled as a villain? Stop tripping it's just a title
Their opinions are not vital, they use it to be spiteful
Believe me I done seen me an eyeful (yup)
The world will aim at you like the scope on a rifle
And say that you're trifle
[Chorus](x2)
There's such a thing as necessary evil
Cause they will violate you expect you to be peaceful
Sometimes you gotta do what you want so f..ck people
If anybody crosses that line then get lethal
[Verse 2]
When there's a narrative that's rolling around that says you ain't shit
There's some real life repercussions you gon' deal with
And you gon' feel this
Every time you walk inside a store and they follow you thinking you're about to steal shit
Or when you're riding down the road
Then stopped by another suspicious officer that that thinks that car was stole
They'll shoot your baby boy dead in the street
And tell the world “he wasn't an angel, more like a beast
You should have heard the way he talked back; disturbing the peace
And when I asked him for his I.D., I think that he reached”
Watch them say that he was justified and ya'll will agree
That's why I know it'd be the same if that shit happened to me
They gonna pull my album covers, then point and say "See
Looks mean he's exactly what we said he would be"
So when they say that I'm the bad guy I laugh and I shrug
No matter how legal I'm living they gonna say I'm a thug
F..ck em
[Chorus](x2)
There's such a thing as necessary evil
Cause they will violate you expect you to be peaceful
Sometimes you gotta do what you want so f..ck people
If anybody crosses that line then get lethal
