Lyrics

Blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me, blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me. Everybody needs someone to blame, the man in the mirror can only take so much shame. Life ain't a fair game, and it's evident same since the day we became. Leaders and preachers, what they teach us, in their ivory tower so they can't reach us. Fighting for their power but we need freedom, minutes to the hour and I see demons. Everywhere and every time, every line that I rhyme, it's a crime if it ain't for the divine. If I try then I cry, wanna lie then I die, who can hide from the one up in the sky. Try to kill time but time really killing us, wanna blame God but he sent all his miracles. Do not blink when the game is empirical, ain't questionable, it's inevitable. Blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me, blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me. Blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me, blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me. Who do you blame, if you go and lose this game? Dunia is a scam, hold it tight and it's gone like quicksand. So why can't we get enough and touch screens got us losing touch now. We're scared of police thank God now, virus of a heart on lockdown. So you take drugs to numb your pain, slow your brain and sip champagne. What you gain is more complaining, life's insane and you're just waiting for the end. But the end ain't the end my friend, you will rise again and stand to defend everything. So why play this game when the outcome is the same? No one to blame but the one who holds your name. Blame on you, blame on me, shame on you and shame on me, blame on you, blame on me, shame on you and shame on me. Blame on you, blame on me, shame on you and shame on me, blame on you, blame on me, shame on you and shame on me. Blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me, blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me. Everybody needs someone to blame, the man in the mirror can only take so much shame. Life ain't a fair game, and it's never the same since the day we became. Blame game, blame game, why we love to play the blame game. Blame game, blame game, why we love to play the blame game. Blame game, blame game, why we love to play the blame game. Blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me, blame on you and blame on me, shame on you and shame on me.
