This song touches upon Nonpoint leaving Spinefarm Records to form their own label, 361 Degrees Records in order to attain true independence and be able to make business decisions themselves and release their music when they want to.
[Verse 1: Elias Soriano]
Seen that look in your eyes sizin' me up in the past
Been here a couple of times, it won't be the last (No)
It won't be the end (No)
It'll be just the beginning of how Imma take all this loss
Pick up the pieces, and make it a win (Go, go, go)
[Pre-Chorus 1: Elias Soriano]
Back in the game
Back in the "back in the day" style
"Get outta my way" style
I'm back in the game (Back in the game)
Crackin' the whip on myself (No)
Not dependin' on nobody else (No)
Yeah, "get outta my way" style, bitch
I'm back in the game
[Chorus 1: Elias Soriano]
Now I see (No) the reason that all this began
You won't be (No) controllin' and forcin' my hand
'Cause I'm one man
'Cause you're lookin' at a one-man death squad, one-man death squad
I may be one man, but I'm a death squad
One-man death squad, one-man death squad
I may be one man, but I'm a death squad
[Refrain: Elias Soriano]
I'm a death squad
[Verse 2: Elias Soriano]
Watchin' the worst gettin' the best of us all
Makin' the rest of all of us lose the best of us all (Lose the best of us all)
Stomach in knots! Bury you deep in the cemetery in a box (No)
No pickin' locks and freakin' out (No)
No punchin' walls and breakin' out (Go, go)
[Pre-Chorus 2: Elias Soriano]
Back in the game
Back in the "back in the day" style (No)
"Get outta my way" style (No)
I'm back in the game (Back in the game)
Crackin' the whip on myself (No)
Not dependin' on nobody else (No)
Yeah, "get outta my way" style, bitch
I'm back in the game
[Chorus 2: Elias Soriano & Rasheed Thomas]
Now I see (No) the reason that all this began
(Aah-aah-oh-oh)
You won't be (No) controllin' and forcin' my hand (Oh, oh)
'Cause I'm one man
'Cause you're lookin' at a one-man death squad, one-man death squad (Aah-aah-oh-oh)
I may be one man, but I'm a death squad
One-man death squad, one-man death squad
I may be one man, but I'm a death squad (Oh-oh-oh)
[Bridge: Elias Soriano]
I'm a death squad
[Instrumental break 2:27-3:01]
[Guitar solo: Rasheed Thomas 3:01-3:15]
[Chorus 3: Elias Soriano & Rasheed Thomas]
Now I see (No) the reason that all this began (Aah-oh-oh)
You won't be (No) controllin' and forcin' my hand (Oh-oh)
'Cause I'm one man
'Cause you're lookin' at a one-man death squad, one-man death squad (Aah-oh-oh)
I may be one man, but I'm a death squad
One-man death squad, one-man death squad (Oh-oh-oh)
I may be one man, but I'm a death squad
[Outro: Elias Soriano]
I'm a death squad
