[Verse 1]
I need a little bit of change
No sign of luck, gone down the drain
I need fortune, I need success
Something to prove to my little girl
I'll give her the best
Sun and the light runnin' right out of my life
With nothing left
Sun and the light!

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do I even try when it hurts so much to be alive?
I'm already dead inside
I got secrets I don't wanna hide
But hold the line, gotta try
It's not like I'm gonna risk my life
And nothing justifies homicide

[Chorus]
Inspector Royale!
Inspector Royale!
Money is the reason why (Reason why)
Wе either live or diе

[Verse 2]
Desperation is my motivation
Brazen and brutal violations
No debt is worth this remuneration
I thought I escaped, but this is no vacation
Home or game, same situation (Situation)
So, I'm back evading elimination-nation
Elimination!
[Pre-Chorus]
What is my alibi for the things I've done to stay alive?
My ethics left far behind
Death has cornered me from every side
So, hold the line, only time
Will tell if this was worth the crime
Still, nothing justifies homicide

[Chorus]
Inspector Royale!
Inspector Royale!
Money is the reason why (Reason why)
We either live or die

[Bridge]
My whole life, down at the drain
Million dollars, it still feels the same
How did I get away by playing child's games?
Child's games!

[Outro]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, la
