This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I've been searching for an answer, but I ain't found one
I've been known to tear shit up and go off like a gun
I've been drinking way too much, but now I think I'm done
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
I gotta get, I gotta get that feeling
Gotta get higher than the twenty-foot ceiling
Just out of rehab, primed for a relapse
Had to do three dabs just so I could relax
Walk in the room and I check for bitches
Check my forty-four, check my ammunition
Got all my homies here and that's fucking bitching
We got more pots than your fucking kitchen
Cooking shit up with the heat up high
With your middle fingers up, like the cops drove by
No motherfucker here is drunker than I
And if we get crunked enough, we can set it on fire
Like fuck it, I don't wanna come down
I wanna get fucked up right about now
Gonna tear shit up, I don't wanna fight it
Who the fuck here wants to start a riot?
I've been searching for an answer, but I ain't found one
I've been known to tear shit up and go off like a gun
I've been drinking way too much, but now I think I'm done
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
Roll up to the party in my grandma's Chrysler
Jump into your circle 'cause I'm dying to cipher
The older I get, I'm like wine, I get finer
And I can tell your girl wants Charlie inside her
I'm a ride-or-dier with that eye of the tiger
Cornrows banging out the side of my visor
I'm so damn tight, they should call me the Scheister
Hitting bud and Budweiser, shit, I couldn't get higher
You done turned me into the "Swan Song" Charlie
Peeling out on a Harley at a high school party
Got a frame like Bane, call me young Tom Hardy
I'm the fucker to blame for the Undead Army
Got the fire tonight 'cause my ass got paid
Now I'm high and tight like my flat top fade
Mixed some Molly and Xanax and Tanqueray
And I'm fucking bad bitches like every single day
I've been searching for an answer, but I ain't found one
I've been known to tear shit up and go off like a gun
I've been drinking way too much, but now I think I'm done
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
Tear it up, burn it down
Pour them drinks up until we drown
Go all night every day
And when you walk into the party make sure you say!
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
I've been known to tear shit up and go off like a gun
I've been drinking way too much, but now I think I'm done
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
I gotta get, I gotta get that feeling
Gotta get higher than the twenty-foot ceiling
Just out of rehab, primed for a relapse
Had to do three dabs just so I could relax
Walk in the room and I check for bitches
Check my forty-four, check my ammunition
Got all my homies here and that's fucking bitching
We got more pots than your fucking kitchen
Cooking shit up with the heat up high
With your middle fingers up, like the cops drove by
No motherfucker here is drunker than I
And if we get crunked enough, we can set it on fire
Like fuck it, I don't wanna come down
I wanna get fucked up right about now
Gonna tear shit up, I don't wanna fight it
Who the fuck here wants to start a riot?
I've been searching for an answer, but I ain't found one
I've been known to tear shit up and go off like a gun
I've been drinking way too much, but now I think I'm done
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
Fuck that shit, let's start a riot!
Tear shit up, fuck peace and quiet!
