I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24? The way things are goin', I don't know [Breakdown] So tell me, why are we so fuckin' blind to see (Uh) That the ones we hurt are you and me?

I guess they can't, I guess they won't I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck— Yeah! Haha, fuck everyone! Uh, yeah [Bridge] What up?
