Your Emguns are loaded, And your lies are the bullets
So Chere is the trigger, Go ahead and pull it, nGow
GAre you sure you wanna play thiBms game?, Are yoBu sure you wanna play it?
                              [Chorus]
The Emonly thing worse than a hater, The only thing worse than a hater
Is a tC#raitor, A traitor, A Ctraitor...
You put the Emknife right in my back, Killed any C#history we had
And now it's Cwar, C#War
                                [Verse]
We were Emjust like brothers, And we had each other
We were Cdown for the good times, We were there for the troubles
Like a Emthief in the night, Broad daylight
CYou stole my sanity, Now you are the enemyG  
GAre you sure you wanna play this Bmgame?, Are you Bsure you wanna play it?
                                [Chorus]
The Emonly thing worse than a hater, The only thing worse than a hater
Is a C#traitor, A traitor, A Ctraitor
You put the Emknife right in my back, Killed any C#history we had
And now it's Cwar, C#War
                                [Bridge]
Oh oh, EmI should feel sorry for you
Oh oh, EmWatching you drown in your denial
Oh oh, EmBut I can't feel sorry for you
Oh oh, EmWatching you drown 'cause you're a traitor
                               [Chorus]

The Emonly thing worse than a hater, The only thing worse than a hater
Is a C#traitor, A traitor, A Ctraitor
You put the Emknife right in my back, Killed any C#history we had
And now it's Cwar, C#War
