[Verse 1]
Yeah
Thing aren't always what they seem
People think I abandoned the colonies
But they don't understand the world's about to get devoured
And I'm brave enough to bathe in the stars, meteor showers
Now they hate me 'cause they know that my fireteam is empowered
If a thousand people want a piece of me
Everybody running, calling me a coward?
I don't think so, I just got bigger fish to fry
There's a huge threat out there, so let's kiss the sky

[Hook]
Ready, set, fly
Let us get by
Cybernetic, we veterans, headed for the sky
Please don't hate us, we could be your saviours
If you try to cage us, that could be the end of your life
Let's fly, let us get by
Cybernetic, we veterans, headed for the sky
Please don't hate us, we just wanna save ya
If you try to cage us, that could be the end of your life
Save the Earth and this the thanks I get?
That could be the end of your life
Save the entire universe and this the thanks I get?
That could be the end of your life
Name a better soldier with my rank out here
That could be the end of your life
I just need you to believe in me
And maybe you will see the things
That I am trying to beat, now let's go
[Verse 2]
Jameson Locke was always under the radar
Fireteam Osiris? I don't even know who they are
Before you start your manhunt, find an alter to pray on
Consider me a ghost, you gon' need to hold a seance
And honestly, I got more important things to do
I heard the rumors and I don't care if you think it's true
You better think it through, I ain't running scared
'Cause we all seeing red, even though my fireteam is blue
Yeah, I know Agent Locke, he's a decent dude
But if he keeps hounding me, I'm gonna have to bleed his crew
So what you wanna do? I know it's not fun for you
And if you interfere with my mission, I'll cock the gun and shoot
John-117, accept no substitutes
Cybernetic genetic super soldier
Better get out this foolish hope, man and forget about your stupid notions
Run from you?
I'm gon' end up gunnin' you because you wanna hunt the truth

[Hook]
