Is it such a crime to be a paradigm
So many people have to think it's just a waste of time
But the truth is, the truth is a lie
It's a sign of the changing times
Kinda feelin' like it's time for me to climb, me to rhyme
While I'm fightin' for the lost in the meantime
I don't be goin' at it part time lookin' for the prime time
People have to think it's just a pastime
Chorus
We're in the middle of an outbreak
It's no joke it's
Well there's an epidemic goin' on
So be wise and decide to change
It's a hard concept to grasp when you're playing with fire
And you keep throwin' on gas eventually you'll get burned with a big blast
We stand fast withstanding the whiplash we make it last
And raise our colors to the top of the mast
Because the sands filling fast in the hourglass
So unmask and forget your past stay on path
The world's labeled you as an outcast
Well here's a newsflash you'll never see teeth gnash
Outbreak
I feel what's real in my mind inside
Chorus
You can't escape what seeks you out
There's an epidemic going on
So many people have to think it's just a waste of time
But the truth is, the truth is a lie
It's a sign of the changing times
Kinda feelin' like it's time for me to climb, me to rhyme
While I'm fightin' for the lost in the meantime
I don't be goin' at it part time lookin' for the prime time
People have to think it's just a pastime
Chorus
We're in the middle of an outbreak
It's no joke it's
Well there's an epidemic goin' on
So be wise and decide to change
It's a hard concept to grasp when you're playing with fire
And you keep throwin' on gas eventually you'll get burned with a big blast
We stand fast withstanding the whiplash we make it last
And raise our colors to the top of the mast
Because the sands filling fast in the hourglass
So unmask and forget your past stay on path
The world's labeled you as an outcast
Well here's a newsflash you'll never see teeth gnash
Outbreak
I feel what's real in my mind inside
Chorus
You can't escape what seeks you out
There's an epidemic going on

Gives me visions of a post apocalypse world where cars with guns rule the streets. Stop laughing.
Obviously, the song is using analogies to talk about the 'epidemic' of sin and the general ungodlyness of the world today. Come quickly Jesus!
