T. I. - I'm Serious lyrics

A grand deception

Disguised as gods redemption

Forcefed delusions of grandeur

Calling out for

A willing sacrifice

Of a nameless enemy

Necessary losses

Fulfill the bloodlust fantasy

See through this facade

Of retribution

This machine

Is marching to the killing rhythm

Spilling blood in vain

Subdues the vengeful masses

So put your blinders on

Replace your conscious with a flag

So you can forget

Money runs thicker than blood
