Testify and tell me why I,

Should always practice what you preach.

I'm always told what to believe, despite what I know & what I see,

How can I take your word when your promises stay empty?

So while the world just passed me by,

You watched my ego die,

And left behind,

These fears inside,

I know-oh-oh-oh

Despite my pain

Out I came

A renegade

So sick of the same shit recycled, just another cheap trick that read their script like a Bible,

Another Copy cat that just caught in the act, they got me buggin, acting up, but I guess I can't get enough, HUAH

Who walks the walk and who stays the same? Just a self made villain in perpetual disarray.

To you gang was optional, second best.

Our soul ripped from our chest!

We blackout,

Love died out,

You sold out,

Your friends,

We'd bleed out,

In fallout,

You washout,

No amends!

Despite the shame, that you brought on yourself,

You parade, a charade that I know wished you hell!

(I like the way you put it down)

And as the world just passed me by,

(I like the way you put it down)

You watched my ego die,

But despite my pain, out I came,

A renegade

(I like the way you put it down)

The way you put it down! No-oh-oh-oh-oh!
