Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hold it

[Verse 2]

Hovering over, lookin' over their shoulder

Suspense, suspect, who got next game?

Hangin' us by the necks

Hold onto your purses and wallets

By George, he's a new Wallace

Show no shame, no malice

Wondering who's this new Alice?

Check, check, one-two, one-two

Alabama, Indiana, they be comin' around askin'

Who the fuck is you?

He be comin' around that mountain

How the West was won

Motherfucker didn't even run

Hero, here he come

[Verse 3]

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

[Verse 4]

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

[Verse 5]

And he didn't even run

And he didn't even run

And he didn't even run

And he didn't even run

[Verse 6]

They lie when they say we matter

Lies of a whole new chapter

Smile when you reach your master

Lookin' in the eye of the rapture

They lie when they say we matter

Some rather believe in a liar

Pride in the heart of believers

While the city ignites on fire

[Verse 7]

While ya life hangs in the balance

The innocent caught in the violence

Silence everybody that ain't like us

Devising words to divide us

Fear in the heart of the millions

One percent with their billions

Savage politicians got the whole world ripe for the pickin'

[Verse 8]

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

[Verse 9]

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

[Verse 10]

And he didn't even run

And he didn't even run

And he didn't even run

And he didn't even run

[Verse 11]

Six-six-six, six-six-six (Suspense)

Sick-sick-sick, sick-sick-sick (Suspense)

Six-six-six, six-six-six (Suspense)

Sick-sick-sick, sick-sick-sick (Here he come)

(Here he come)

(Here he come)

(Here he come)

[Verse 12]

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

[Verse 13]

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief

Who came in the name of a thief

To cease peace

[Verse 14]

And he didn't even run
