Wrath of the Gods Lyrics

[Intro: Jimmy Mitch]
Tomorrow's but a day away
But a day away is all the people we lost yesterday
Tell me what you say, Tell me what you say
To the family when they don't want to pray
They don't want to eat, they don't want to sleep, and
They don't want to breathe, but their hearts beat
So it's no escaping from the state of be
They've got to stick it out, got to stick it out

[Bridge: Jimmy Mitch]
Used to swear this happened all the time
But the video opened my eyes
All the other killings went unseen
This one front and center graphically
Every different angle adding to the anger
Put them in a cage 'til they feel the rage
Every different angle adding to the anger
Put them in a cage 'til they feel the rage

[Verse 1: Jimmy Mitch]
Man, everybody's had enough of this
All of the violence and killing is mindless and vicious
Think of the kids, they grow up in fear of the ones who protect us
They're worse than the villains
I wish I had a daughter or a son
So I could wish you'd lay a finger on
I guess I'll settle for my nephews and niece
Fuck with them and then it's "Fuck the police"
So I get it why niggas would say it for
So I say it with them in support of the hope
These niggas looking for to get revenge
I could never turn on my brothers and friends
Our similar skin makes us family
Sadly we only come together when we face tragedy
But it's going to be a travesty when we arise
And bring on the wrath of the gods
[Outro]

Genius Annotation

This is a part 2 to Trying Times, this half of the song takes a more angry approach. It kind of serves as a reflection for the police slaying in Baton Rouge that occurred in retaliation to the slaying of Alton Sterling. I don’t endorse that behavior, this is just an introspective piece.
