[INTRO — 6–8 SECONDS, SOULFUL CHOIR ONLY] [CHOIR] Oooohhh… We been waitin' on this moment… Oooohhh… Now it's our time… [DEEP VOICE] Illinois… Tell 'em we here. [CHOIR — FINAL HIT] NO ESCAPE! [CHOIR ENDS — RECORD SCRATCH] [RAPPER] Ayy! Yeah! Turn me up! [BEAT DROPS HARD] [HOOK] LOCK THAT GATE! Ain't no way out! NO ESCAPE! Let me hear that crowd! Whole place jump when the bass line shake Hands in the air, let the whole room rage Came too far, we ain't playin' it safe MIDWEST MAYHEM — NO ESCAPE! LOCK THAT GATE! Ain't no way out! NO ESCAPE! Let me hear that crowd! Illinois up and the pressure on ten If they ain't know before, better tell 'em again M-M-P, yeah, remember the name We came for the night — WE CAME FOR THE GAME! [VERSE 1] Look— Walk in clean but the bass too dirty Whole squad deep and we came in early Lights hit bright, now the room get blurry Everybody talk tough till the gloves get sturdy Cold outside but the building on fire Whole state up, take the energy higher Built from the ground, every move got purpose Now the whole Midwest watch when the curtain open Ain't no handout, ain't nobody save us Made our own lane, now the road got dangerous First one out, but the feelin' already major Put the name on the wall — MIDWEST MAYHEM! 808 knock make the floorboards move Sax hit once, let the horn talk too DJ cut that — bring that back! [DJ SCRATCH] Ain't no party like a fight-night packed! Crowd on go and the energy live You can feel that pressure soon as you walk inside Cage in the middle, everybody locked in When the first bell ring — LET THE MAYHEM BEGIN! [HOOK] LOCK THAT GATE! Ain't no way out! NO ESCAPE! Let me hear that crowd! Whole place jump when the bass line shake Hands in the air, let the whole room rage Came too far, we ain't playin' it safe MIDWEST MAYHEM — NO ESCAPE! LOCK THAT GATE! Ain't no way out! NO ESCAPE! Let me hear that crowd! Illinois up and the pressure on ten If they ain't know before, better tell 'em again M-M-P, yeah, remember the name We came for the night — WE CAME FOR THE GAME! [SAX RIFF] [VERSE 2 — FASTER FLOW] Okay— Pressure up, pace up, everybody stand Whole room shake when I raise one hand Came with a plan, now we makin' demands Put the Midwest stamp on the whole damn map Quick with the rhythm, I'm switching the cadence Built from the bottom, don't need validation Whole lotta work turned into an occasion Now everybody in the room yellin' MAYHEM! Move with it, bounce with it, ride that beat 808 hit, feel it under your feet Big fight feel when they walk through the smoke Whole crowd rise when the announcer spoke No slow down, I'ma run right through it New name, big stage, watch how we do it One night, one cage, everybody tuned in First chapter now — LET THE NEW ERA BEGIN! [FLOW GETS FASTER] Back to the wall, never ran, never folded Dream got big, so we reached out and took it Talk is cheap, better show me you want it Gate lock down, now the moment is honest Hands get raised and the cameras flash Bell go ding and they both go clash Illinois stand, put your hands up high If you came for the MAYHEM — MAKE SOME NOISE! [BEAT STOPS] [RAPPER] Wait. Illinois… I know y'all louder than that. [DRUM BUILD] ILLINOIS! [CROWD] AYYY! [RAPPER] M-M-P! [CROWD] M-M-P! [RAPPER] NO ESCAPE! [CROWD] NO ESCAPE! [RAPPER] LOCK THAT— [CROWD] GATE! [MASSIVE DROP] [FINAL HOOK] LOCK THAT GATE! Ain't no way out! NO ESCAPE! LET ME HEAR THAT CROWD! Whole place jump, let the whole floor shake Turn that bass up, let the whole room rage This our night, yeah, we came to take MIDWEST MAYHEM — NO ESCAPE! LOCK THAT GATE! Ain't no way out! NO ESCAPE! LET ME HEAR THAT CROWD! M-M-P and the pressure on ten If they ain't know before, better tell 'em again Illinois up, everybody gon' know MIDWEST MAYHEM — WE RUNNIN' THE SHOW!
