[Verse 1: Elias Soriano]
I'm about to explode
Speedin' down a warpath, front seat
Self-offense. Call it "battle by proxy." (They go)
Goldilocks distance
How can I miss with a crack-shot aim and verbal game like this?
Tell the masses all to behold, and get another fighter on the phone
All the ones they sent so far, they couldn't stop me
All the ones they sent so far, didn't get so far
[Pre-Chorus: Elias Soriano]
You wanna start it up without a way to win?
I'm bettin' double or nothin', but I'm not gamblin'
You try to cage me up, but I got out again
You better cover your eyes it's about to get…
[Chorus 1: Elias Soriano, with Robb Rivera, Rasheed Thomas, Adam Woloszyn, & Jason Zeilstra]
(Ruthless! Ruthless!)
It's about to get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
It's time to get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
Everybody get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
It's time to let the mud fly
Target identified
It's time to get (Ruthless!)
Statement is certified
It's time to get (Ruthless!)
Cover your eyes, yeah!
It's time to get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
[Refrain: Elias Soriano]
Ruthless!
[Verse 2: Elias Soriano]
I'm about to go rogue!
Swimmin' in a shark tank, field mouse!
Missin' every turn, and still bankin' in my wheelhouse
Bait 'em all, hook 'em all, sink 'em!
Then run through 'em like it's the Olympics of Life
And the road to gold is brick-by-brick
And only the bold, even broken and sick
Are showin' up to cause another episode
You're in the presence of a monster, beast mode!
[Pre-Chorus: Elias Soriano]
You wanna start it up without a way to win?
I'm bettin' double or nothin', but I'm not gamblin'
You try to cage me up, but I got out again
You better cover your eyes it's about to get…
[Chorus 2: Elias Soriano, with Robb Rivera, Rasheed Thomas, Adam Woloszyn, & Jason Zeilstra]
(Ruthless! Ruthless!)
It's about to get (Ruthless, ruthless)
It's time to get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
Everybody get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
It's time to let the mud fly
Target identified
It's time to get (Ruthless!)
Statement is certified
It's time to get (Ruthless!)
Cover your eyes, yeah!
It's time to get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
[Guitar Solo: Jason Zeilstra 2:05-2:24]
[Bridge: Elias Soriano]
Call it what you wanna call it, I'm callin' it criminal
Judgement Day comin', it's about to get physical
Actin' all righteous, but you're too lawless
Shadows are movin', and they always get you crawlin'
Call it what you call it, I'm callin' it criminal
It's about to get lawless
It's about to get physical
And it's about to get…
[Chorus 3: Elias Soriano, with Robb Rivera, Rasheed Thomas, Adam Woloszyn, & Jason Zeilstra]
(Ruthless! Ruthless!)
It's about to get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
It's time to get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
Everybody get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
It's time to let the mud fly
Target identified
It's time to get (Ruthless!)
Statement is certified
It's time to get (Ruthless!)
Cover your eyes, yeah!
It's time to get (Ruthless! Ruthless!)
