The Black Crown

You're all slaves So sit back, bitch, what the fuck's it gonna be? Are you listening to me? It's your dependence robbing innocence Is this really who you wanted to be? Rock bottom is your wake-up call Rock bottom is your wake-up call Oh my God, you're pitiful Your dependence robbing innocence That makes you a slave to substance Slaves, you're fucking worthless You see that you've hit the bottom You see everything is wrong You see that you've hit the bottom (Slaves in shackles) You see that you've hit the bottom Right now, your mind is gone You see that you've hit the bottom (Slaves in shackles) Slaves to substance That makes you a slave You're fucking worthless I'm gonna sit back with my shades on Watching you make all the same mistakes we all went through Everything that I've been through that I regret I'm watching everything you do now ever since we met Everything that I've been through that I regret I'm watching everything you do now ever since we met Everything that I've been through that I regret I'm watching everything you do now ever since we met It's your dependence robbing innocence Is this really who you wanted to be? Slaves in shackles Never to be set free That makes you a slave That makes you a slave (And now you see that you've hit the bottom And now you see everything is wrong And now you see that you've hit the bottom And now you see that your mind is gone And now you see that you've hit the bottom And now you see that everything is wrong And now you see that you've hit the bottom That's why I wrote this song)
