So I might've said something
That I might've regret
But it's okay, 'cause it's no big deal in the end
And I got some bigger fish to fry
No need for pretending
I just said how I felt
No need to get all offended
Though, I might've been too harsh
Should've let her down easy
There was no need to bark
But the past is in the past
What's done is done
But if rumors start to spread, it'll be the end of my run
Wait no, that's how criminals speak
People who are truly innocent don't say what I think
And she put me on the spot
I didn't know what to do
But I got a feeling this is just a catch 22
Gotta be honest, I'm not used to these games
I know I'm not a crook, but I'm not painting the frame
Just gotta pray and hope I'll be alright
'Cause I'm sure this'll all blow over
By the end of the night
Extra, extra
Read all about it (Wait what?)
Someone's got a skeleton
Packed in his closet (Now hold on!)
Secrets, scandals
Will he be honest?
Or will he try to bury the carcass?
Extra, extra (Ohh)
Proven reports
Extra, extra (Ohh)
Right from the source
Extra, extra
Fight it in court
Cause you won't get far
If you try to use force
You can hide it, but they're never gonna unhear
Fleeing from your actions won't erase the things you've done here
Soon enough the pressure's gonna close in on your lungs
And the weight of all your words
Will hit like shackles to your tongue
Hear em judge (Judge)
Judge (Judge)
Look at how they judge you (Judge, judge)
Rumors gonna spread (Judge)
And it'll change the way they trust you (Judge, judge, judge)
You won't get away from it (Judge, judge)
No matter where you run (Judge, judge)
And they'll all be disappointed (Judge)
In the monster you've become (Judge, judge, judge)
You're a criminal!
Uh, you're a criminal
Uh, you're a criminal
Uh, you're a criminal, uh
I can see it from a mile away
Boy I ain't new to this
I run 100 trials a day
I'm getting used to it
I knew it from the look on your face
And how you're chasing the fame
You wanted more to your name
So everybody get your
Forks, knives
We about to ride
Feed into his stories?
Nah, we eating him alive
Even your fixation looks for sympathy in lies
So the day I trust an idol, is the day you see me die
In a world that is lawless
I will serve as the law
In a world that has turned so gray
I will color it all
In a world that is flawless
I will work through It's flaws
In a world that is so forgiving
In a world that I'll solve
You're a criminal!
Uh, you're a criminal
Uh, you're a criminal (Extra, extra, read all about it)
Uh, you're a criminal, uh (Extra, extra, read all about it)
Things have been feeling kind of off
I can feel somebody watching me
While I'm out for a walk
I step into a bar and get hit with an extra charge
Everybody's looking at me like a criminal at large
People like to talk about accountability
But recently, I wonder if it's my responsibility
I shouldn't have to walk around, while putting on an act
When I got a couple boundaries that I feel like have been passed
I got what I wanted
But lost what I had (Ohh)
I built a platform (Ohh)
But now I'm stepping over cracks (Woahh)
Thousands of eyes
My words are theirs to analyze (Woahh)
Turns out when you hit big in life (Woahh)
You'll find there's nowhere else to hide (Woahh)
You're a criminal!
You got me peeking
And reaching over my shoulder (Uh, you're a criminal)
Wondering 'bout the thundering
Fearing it getting closer (Uh, you're a criminal)
And how can I move any further with my life (Uh, you're a criminal)
When it can crumble with a single little li- (Uh)
The truth will set you free
So why can I still see the chains?
They say the truth hurts
But who chooses who feels all the pain?
Instigating the situation, regardless of the claims
You don't really need the context if you got a fancy name
Extra, extra
Read all about it
Doesn't matter if it's true
'Cause I'm ('Cause you're)
Making something
Out of nothing
Got you (Got me)
Feeling like a good for nothing criminal!
Bad boy, bad boy
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do
When they come for you? (A good for nothing criminal)
Bad boy, bad boy
What you gonna say? (Woahh)
What you gonna say
When it's judgment day? (Woahh)
Extra, extra
Read all about it
Someone better teach him the rules of our town!
What goes up (You're a criminal)
Must come down!
What goes up! (You're a criminal)
Must come down!
