Blacksteel In The Hour Of Chaos lyrics

I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever

I`m on a tier where no tears should ever fall
Cell block and locked - I never clock it y`all
`Cause time and time again time
They got me servin` to those and to them
I`m not a
