The Purge
The Game Lyrics

We are dying, we are dying
The world is in a state of decline and destruction, and we are all dying as a result.

Light a blunt, throw on nas, collect my thoughts
I take drugs and music to help focus my thoughts and clear my mind.

Blow the candles out as I contemplate in the dark
I take a moment to reflect in the silence and darkness, trying to find meaning and purpose in life.

Dumpin' ashes on the fuckin' time magazine
I dismiss mainstream media and its portrayal of a broken world, choosing to rebel against it.

All this world news, all these dead bodies
The grim reality of the world around us is constantly in the news, with countless lives lost and suffering.

All these kids dying, the talk of illuminati
There's a conspiracy theory that the illuminati is behind much of the world's suffering and decay, including the deaths of innocent children.

As I'm murderin' ink, I get a call from irv gotti
As I write and create music, I receive a call from someone seeking to collaborate with me.

Say 'keep spittin' cause when you do it's like a 12-gauge shotty
Irv Gotti encourages me to keep making powerful music that hits hard and resonates with people.

Got machetes and them cannons loaded up
I am armed and dangerous, with weapons of all kinds at my disposal if needed.

Got them xany's and that lean in my cup
I have access to drugs that ease my pain and relax my mind.

These politician's can come up missin', I'm on a mission
I am determined to take down corrupt politicians, possibly through violent means.

You hear them gun shots, now mother fuckers listenin'
Violent acts are often the only way to get people to pay attention and take action.

Feel that you can take their life cause they ain't got a pot to piss in
When people are desperate and have nothing to lose, they are more likely to take extreme measures like killing.

Raise the christian, kill you for these kids as victims
I am willing to take up the cause of protecting innocent children, even if it means killing others in the process.

Fuck the system
The current system is broken and corrupt, and needs to be challenged and dismantled.

You give a kid 30 cent and think you sponsor somethin'?
Charitable donations are often a pittance that do little to address the real problems facing society.

I feed a village by myself nigga compton comin'
I take it upon myself to provide for those in need, and am not waiting for any handouts or assistance from others.

What if we ran through beverley hills, got 70 kills
In a hypothetical scenario, what if we went on a killing spree in a wealthy area like Beverly Hills and took out many people?

Ridin' down rodeo in the chevy with pills
I'm high on drugs and driving down the famous Rodeo Drive, feeling reckless and invincible.

And pop one, load 12 slugs in the eagle
Let's take down someone who deserves it, and load up our guns to the maximum capacity.

And shot one, donald sterling hopped in his benz
We take out someone notorious like Donald Sterling, who is known for his racism and other problematic behavior.

I got one, beam on the back of his dome
We take him out with a headshot, using a laser beam to increase accuracy.

Palm sweaty on the back of the chrome
Hands gripping the gun, heart racing with adrenaline and excitement, ready for anything.

So we purge sandusky, purge zimmerman
Let's target people like Jerry Sandusky and George Zimmerman, who have caused harm and suffering to others.

Purge every mother fucker rapin' women in
Let's take out anyone who is guilty of sexual assault or rape against women.

Purge niggas killin' kids, back to back in two vans
Let's go after the murderers who are taking the lives of innocent children, and use two vans to make it more efficient.

Me and my mercenaries, middle of south sudan
We are a group of soldiers for hire, and are currently operating in a dangerous and war-torn country in Africa.

Carryin' babies bodies, long as I got two hands
We are dealing with the tragic reality of war and death, holding the bodies of innocent children who have been killed.

Long as I got two feet, millions and my crew deep
We are a large and powerful organization, with many loyal members who are willing to go to war and fight for what's right.

We purge for the families, they deaths ain't in vein now
Our violent acts are not in vain, as we are avenging the deaths of innocent people and the suffering of their loved ones.

Crash my ass, niggas know who shot that plane down
If I were to die in the process of violence, I know that my legacy would live on and people would know what I stood for.

298 innocent lives severed
The terrible reality of the MH17 plane crash, and the many innocent lives that were cut short.

Flyin' on aaliyah's wings all the way to heaven
In death, the victims are soaring to the heavens on the wings of the late singer Aaliyah.

Imagine going to the stores without cops harrasing
It's a sad reality that people are often harassed and targeted by police due to their race or social status.

Imagine mike brown walkin', them same cops just passed 'em
Thinking about the case of Mike Brown, and how he was a victim of police brutality despite being innocent and unarmed.

I'm smokin' hash, and let me ash it before I talk in past tense
I'm high on drugs, but I want to make sure that I'm coherent and making sense before I say anything.

I hope his mama tears is like acid to your fuckin badges
I hope that the grief and pain felt by the families of police brutality victims is enough to start creating change in the system.

2 shots in his brain, 4 in his fashion
Using violence as a response to violence, taking out someone in a gruesome and brutal manner.

Thinkin' 'bout his casket in this phantom, swear I almost crashed it
The thought of the funeral for someone killed by police brutality is overwhelming and heartbreaking, and almost causes me to lose control of my car.

That's why I'm headed to ferguson with this german luger
I'm going to the site of the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, armed with a dangerous firearm.

'cause I'm probably more like nelson mandela than martin luther
I am more like the revolutionary and violent figure of Nelson Mandela than the peaceful civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

More like ice t than ice cube, I'm a cop killer
I am more like the rapper Ice T, who has advocated for killing police officers, than Ice Cube, who has taken a more peaceful stance.

Murder all the cops, then the cops will probably stop killin'
I believe that killing police officers is the only way to get them to stop killing innocent people.

On my knees prayin', wish my nigga pac was livin'
I am a conflicted and complex person, who is both violent and introspective, and misses the late rapper Tupac Shakur.

But he fell victim to the rampart division, purge
Tupac was killed due to the corrupt actions of the Rampart police division, and so I seek to avenge his death through violence.

Cops killed biggie, cops beat up rodney king
Remembering the cases of police brutality against Biggie Smalls and Rodney King, which have fueled my intent on violence and revenge.

We tore up the city nigga, purge
During times of unrest and violence, we have the power to cause chaos and destruction, as seen in riots and other acts of rebellion.

Or just stand there like j. cole and shoot at cops
Even if we don't participate in violence ourselves, we can still support it and see it as necessary, like J. Cole has suggested in his music.

In the same spot till the case closed, purge
We will continue to engage in violence and destruction until we see the change we seek, even if it means waiting for a long time.
