  97. It's crazy what I seen, so I'm a fighting machine
  98. I'm a monster, I'm a fiend, no ordinary teen
  99. Always knowing I'm winning like a young Charlie Sheen
  100. Justifying murder 'cause he drunk irresponsibly
  101. Blaming black problems on blacks unconsciously
  102. So systematic racism lives in a democracy
  103. Said end white on black killings, blind to hypocrisy
  104. I'm not winning today with our lives on the line
  105. We're afraid, we've all got our deaths on our mind

  108. I'm just angry, refuse to be angry at myself
  109. Refused to say I had a part in being expelled
  110. What is done about this by the husband of Michelle
  111. Like a child, instead of admitting, I rebel
  112. How do I fix a problem telling myself these lies?
  113. When I'm purposely blinding myself in my eyes
  114. I'm sick and tired of seeing all my black brothers die
  115. No matter the skin color of the hands of the guys
  116. So I always rhyme about the cruelty after I weep
  117. In my rage I tweet, I cage the beat, I can't even sleep
  118. But why did I scream when Walter Scott was shot in the street
  119. When gang banging make me kill kids who are blacker than me
  120.  
  121. //[Outro]
  122. Hypocrite!
  123. Hypocrite!
  124. Hypocrite!
