[Intro: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
Lawlessness
Badlands
Uncivilized
You's a bad man
But even the baddest
Savages
Eventually get
Humbled by the averages
[Verse 1: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
D- D- D- D- Donkey of the day, you's an ass with no pass (Free at last)
Addicted to the screens (Tell 'em what you mean), screaming for the laughs (Ha Ha Ha!)
What I got to do with you being you?
River deep, mountain high, like the best of your crew
Leader of the pack
That don't give a track
About nobody praying
In a whirl they be playing
Why swell your ego to think you gonna get away with crime?
Cameras is everywhеre dawg, this ain't 1985 (Let 'em know Chuck, lеt's go!)
[Chorus: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
You got to change your evil way
No gangster, it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil way
[Verse 2: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
What goes up comes back down
Gravity got a way to bring down clowns
Stumbling on the face, tumbled down a staircase
Evil is a terrible waste
Let's go — download this mother for ya
We the roll, baby
Millennial wild, crack-rugged grandchild
Bone-chillin' killers, movie-made matinee thriller
Gun, gun, gun, homie homicide, take a ride
Run, run, run — yo, you cannot hide
From your folly, hello Dolly
Unless you get a pardon
Abide by a law you and I never saw
Let these gangsters out the door
[Chorus: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
You got to change your evil way
No gangster, it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil way
[Interlude: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
Lawlessness
Badlands
Uncivilized
You's a bad man
But even the baddest
Savages
Eventually get
Humbled by the averages
[Verse 3: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
Gots the nerve of a red pickup
Truckin' mother
Son of a badass Magger
Hunting down in Badlands
Woke up mad in the mirror
With a bad attitude
Ugly is under that face, my dude
Everything ain't funny
You's another slave to the money
Hunted down like a dog now
You're a slave to the runnin' (Kick it, Chuck!)
[Chorus: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
You got to change your evil way
No gangsters, it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil way
[Outro: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Chuck D & Flavor Flav]
Change your evil ways
