[Verse 1] Born into Revolution, an industrial one But I would not call me lucky, coming up from the slums Nobody's wondering why I hardly trust anyone Cause if you're free from corruption, then you must be a nun You've got an army of thugs? Then let me bloody'em up Don't lay a hand on my coat unless you wanna be cut I'll pummel you with bra** knuckles, leave you ugly as f*** Then wipe the blood off my gauntlet, and act like nothing is up! Because I'm keeping up appearances within my Syndicate If you're pollutin' my community, I'm catchin' wind of it! I'm making history, with every single day I'm living it! I'll leave a bigger footprint than frickin' Charles Dickens did Cause my name is as famous as David Copperfield is Child labor's popular, my god that's awful for kids I'm trying to stop these Hard Times from getting harder than this And I still got Great Expectations, now that's an Oliver Twist HA! Keep your children outta factories You can haul your own coal, sew your own tapestries If you're living lavishly, that'll end in tragedy I'll knock you off your balcony, and leave the rest to gravity Here's my manifesto, It's practically a rhapsody Who'da knew beneath this cla**y jacket I'd be packing heat? I'm a fashion masterpiece, sent by the Assa**in's Creed If you're an aristocrat, now's the time to flatter me [Chorus] That dude is fly, with that suit and tie, he don't mess around She's by his side, nowhere to hide When they come to town Cause there's Assa**in their veins Every Templar will be slain A time to live, time to fight Now, it's your time to die [Break] Leave it to me and Evie to keep these streets clean Ha ha! That ain't gonna be easy, No, UH! [Verse 2] The name's Jacob Frye, If you can't wait to die Inside my cane I hide a blade with which I take your life I'm taking over Devil's Acre with this gang of mine Drinking bitter, we prefer it to the taste of wine When we got a problem, we a**a**inate the guy Pick your pocket, take you hostage, any way to make it by Take your eyes off my sister, man, she ain't your wife But she may slice you wide open with a table knife Call us crooks, soon enough we'll make you change your mind Join the Rooks if you love it when the stakes are high I've climbed higher steeples, I've scaled bigger Bens Don't believe me? Take a swim in the River Thames [Chorus] That dude is fly, with that suit and tie He don't mess around She's by his side, nowhere to hide When they come to town Send corruption to it's grave Hidden blades decide your fate You'll pay the price for your life of crime When it's your time to die [Verse 3] Welcome to London, City of the Paupers Don't think you're safe cause you were brought up prim and proper You really oughta watch your back, you got a stalker Six shot revolver, let's see who can draw first But if you draw last, you're gonna drop fast I'll pull my hood down and throw on my top hat Quit with the kukri, don't make me prove my sk** I'll take these orphans out the textile and put you through the mill As long as I complete my mission, doesn't matter who I k** Bet your a** Jack the Ripper's got some ma**ive shoes to fill Knock me off the tracks, I'll come back with direction Nowhere to run and you have no protection You can thank Darwin, natural selection [Chorus] That dude is fly, with that suit and tie He don't mess around She's by his side, nowhere to hide When they come to town Cause there's Assa**in their veins Trust in them, they'll take the reigns When your injustice comes to light It's your time to die
