High and caught in the steep, laws of esteem, play safe to-nite!
Some will punish themselves, blame someone else, to save their pride (play safe to-nite).
Out there on some streets, the wounds that are healed are glorified.
Wrongs and harm being done, without a gun, means "being nice".
Estranged from their souls, with nowhere to go, and no-one worth listening to the rioting side... the riot inside.
Trapped in the scheme, of changing extremes; Jekyll & Hyde.
Confused in the head, with instincts of death; Bonnie & Clyde.
This society and its beliefs, lead them to crime.
And walking alone, a friend is a foe, plaguing his life.
It can happen to you, like it happened to me, a complete loss of self-respect (no dignity).
A stranger no more, with a place I can go to to unload all the bad, the mad, the riot-inside... the rioting side.
It can happen to you, like it happened to me.
Estranged in the night, confused in the head, with instincts of death I call suicide.
The rioting side... the riot-inside, the rioting side.
