[Verse 1]
I think it’s time to watch the party die
This s*it done got too wicked to apologize
It’s different, get him whacked and disqualified
We even kill the killers ’cause they like taking innocent lives
Burn a whole village, we start over, it’s really that time
Why reason with these n!ggas if they can’t see the future first?
Why argue with these clowns if the circus is well at work?
Just walk that man down, that’ll do everyone a solid
It’s love, but tough love sometimes gotta result in violence
If you parade in gluttony without giving truth to the youth
The graveyard is company, just tell us what casket to choose
They party more than b!tches, tell me, what are you working for?
They glorify scamming, you get chipped over this credit card
Influencers talked down ’cause I’m not with the basic s*it
But they don’t hate me, they hate the man that I represent
The type of man that never d!ckride ’cause I want a favor
The man that resides in patience, so where the soldiers at?
The one’s that lost it all and learnt to learn from that
A thirst for life, head inside a book ’cause he concerned with that
Information that’ll change his life because he yearns for that
Dedication, finding out what’s right ’cause he can earn from that
I feel for the women that deal with the clown and nerd s*it
Can’t blame them, today they ain’t really got much to work with
How many b!tches harder than a lot of you n!ggas?
Would trade all of y’all for Nip, I can’t be proud of you n!ggas

[Chorus]
God, give me life, dear God, please give me peace
Dear God, please keep these lame n!ggas away from me
Dear God, keep me shining, the fu*k do they really think?
Pocket-watching, you must be the police
God, bless these words, dear God, bless how I think
Dear God, draw the line, they tryna confuse ’em with me
Dear God, please forgive me, you knowing how hard I tried
I think it’s time for me to watch the party die (Uh-huh, huh)
Get ’em gone, we gon’ watch the party die (Uh-huh)

Send ’em home, we gon’ watch the party die

[Verse 2]
I think it’s time to watch the party die
Street n!ggas and the corporate guys, the rappers that report the lies
I need they families mortified
We can do life without ’em, get they bodies organized, tell me if you obliged
No more pillow-talking, jump-starting neighborhood wars
Dirty-macking b!tches because your spirit is insecure
The flashy n!gga with nasty decisions using money as a backbone
I want his head cracked before he’s back home
The radio personality pushing propaganda for salary
Let me know when they turn up as a casualty, I want agony
Assault and battery, I see a new Earth
Filled with beautiful people making humanity work
Let’s kill the followers that follow up on popping mollies from
The obvious, degenerates, that’s failing to acknowledge the
Hope that we tryna spread, if I’m not his vote
Then you need to bring his fu*king head, I’ll film that s*it in hi-res

[Chorus]
God, give me life, dear God, please give me peace
Dear God, please keep these lame n!ggas away from me
Dear God, keep me shining, the fu*k do they really think?
Pocket-watching, you must be the police
God bless these words, dear God, bless how I think
Dear God, draw the line, they tryna confuse ’em with me
Dear God, please, forgive me, you knowing how hard I tried
I think it’s time for me to watch the party die

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do
Fu*k these n!ggas up or show ’em just what prayer do?
I want to be empathetic, my heart like Dee-1
But I would—
It’s time to get these devils out the way, heavy metals on my sword
We settle hard disputes today, the ghetto Hollywood divorce
Say hello to your future fate, the culture bred with carnivores
You let ’em snack, they eat your face, the signatures is being forged
They wonder why I’m not enthused to drop
The more visible you get, the more your spiritual is tried
It’s cynical to say I know these artists petrified
The end result, in jail by Jezebel or drugged up full of lies
Critical, I know my physical is tested all the time
I’m pitiful, sunken place soon as I’m questioning my pride
I’m seeing ghosts, blacking out, relapsing one thought at a time
I spare no feelings that ain’t mine, I’m in my feelings when I slide, I mean
A n!gga wonder what Lecrae would do
Terrace Martin said I’m mentally with layers, true
I flood the market with my best regards, I paid your dues
And so it’s up, if you ain’t one of ours, it’s bad news
My n!gga Jay Estrada said I gotta burn it down to build it up
That confirmation real as fu*k, it ain’t too many real as us
Locking in to what I trust, looking outside
The kids live tomorrow ’cause today, the party just died
