The lyric’s in this song are heavily connected to the timeline of the Columbine Massacre, a school shooting and attempted bombing by student’s Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold that left fifteen people dead. Twelve student’s, one teacher and themselves.
[Verse 1: SXMPRA]
Creep up out the gate, I got that duffel bag packed
Throw it in the trunk, get in the whip and never turn back
Bl-Bl-Black trench coat no longer hangin' on the rack
Middle finger to the man, misanthropic they call me that
As I drive on down the road, my hands be shakin’ with adrenaline
See some faces that I hate and I can't wait to bury them
It runs deep, so deep, check the evidence

I take my gun and walk up in the building let it fuckin' blast
Screams of terror ringing through the halls as everybody pass
When I get up in the cafeteria I shoot the bags
But ain’t a motherfuckin' thang really goin' to plan
So I gallop up the stairs and I walk up in the fuckin' library
I hear the whispers and the sobbing sing harmoniously
Suffer, suffer as I squeeze that thang indiscriminately underneath all the tables I see the black rivers they leak
On the carpet, as the alarm just keep on blaring
I start to lose my self as my adrenaline is wearing
And all things I've done begin to really fuckin' scare me
I put the gauge up to my head and-
