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 brass knuckles, leave you ugly as f*k!
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 classy jacket I'd be packing heat?
I'm a fashion masterpiece, sent by the Assassin's Creed
If you're an aristocrat, now's the time to flatter me
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 Assassin their veins
Every Templar will be slain
A time to live, A time to fight, Now it's your time to die!
Leave it to me and Evie to keep these streets clean...
Ha ha! That ain't gonna be easy, No, UH!
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 assassinate 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
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
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 skill
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 kill
Bet your ass Jack the Ripper's got some massive 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
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 Assassin their veins
Trust in them, they'll take the reigns
When your injustice comes to light
It's your time to die!
