i literally posted this, and i came back now in total shock. thx to everyone that subscribed! ❤

I'm glad they did two versions so we can have it both ways or whichever we prefer.

Definitely prefer this version of the song. the J.I.D. just abruptly comes in and kills the flow and the immersion in the other one. This one just fits better.

"He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be chaaaanged but keep on prayinnng, goodbye." THIS FITS THE SHOW SO WELL ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Silco cannot be changed, Jinx can't be changed, the corrupt council can't be changed.

Don’t get me wrong, J.I.D’s performance was stellar, but I personally enjoy this one a tad more as it’s supposed to have this gritty vibe, but the rapping sort of side tracks from what it’s supposed to be.

[Bridge] They say pray it away I swear, I'll never be a saint, no way A chair in the corner is the place I stay I shake and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start The child in the basement, face to the pavement *Oh, what a statement, love is embracement Love is a constant, love is a basis He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed But' keep on praying Goodbye * In a concert, Dan Reynolds explains that this talks about removing people in your life who don't actually love and support you

I personally like both, but I have to say that it's better without the rap.

This. THIS is it. What an absolute BANGER.

I'm always gonna be thankful when artists releases two versions of a song that has rap parts that somehow doesn't quite fit in.

without the rap , is totaly perfect

Look out for yourself I wake up to the sounds Of the silence that allows For my mind to run around With my ear up to the ground I'm searching to behold The stories that are told When my back is to the world That was smiling when I turned Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn they hate us Oh the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy-y-y-y-y Look out for yourself My enemy-y-y-y-y (look) (look) (look) (look) Look out for yourself But I'm ready Your words up on the wall As you're praying for my fall And the laughter in the halls And the names that I've been called I stack it in my mind And I'm waiting for the time When I show you what it's like To be words spit in a mic Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn they hate us (Huh) O-oh the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy-y-y-y-y (look) (look) (look) (look) Look out for yourself My enemy-y-y-y-y (look) (look) (look) (look) Look out for yourself They say, "pray it away" I swear that I'll never be a saint, no way A chair in the corner is my place I stay I shake, and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start The child from the basement, face to the pavement Oh, what a statement, love is embracement Love is a constant, love is the basis He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed But keep on praying Good bye.. Oh the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy O-oh the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way My enemy Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint Look out for yourself ((Credits to AZlyrics, Genius and Spotify))

This is the superior version of this song.

Whoa, this version slaps. Took the song to another level entirely.

I definitely love the rap part of the song but I also love the verse it replaces. hope someone will make an extended version with both soon ngl

I'm just not a fan of rapping personally, took me out of the song, glad I found this, makes it better for me personally

The fact that this song loops so *seamlessly* is just beautiful and it makes me swoooooon

Ah, the superior version.

Thanks, I wanted this song to play at the gym, but the rap part is so anticlimactic

JID made the song from a 10 to a 7 prove me wrong

Found the original Song today and thought i was the only one that would like it more without Rap....guess i was wrong

I like both versions but this one fits enemy way way more especially "he can not be, she can not be" part which ends with good bye and slowly going back into the main chorus of the song hits so hard

thank god this exists i dont hate the rap itself but its vibe goes with this song about as well as vegtable juice and choclate cupcakes

yo siento que JID desentona en la cancion, pero de tanto escuchar el intro me acabe acostumbrando, esta version y la otra estan de 10/10

i definitely like this version more than the rap version, J.I.D admittedly does a great job with that part but in my opinion it just sort of interrupts the song, completely changes the direction and messes with the flow, especially the end where the instrumental just sort of goes silent while the rap continues for some reason, this version doesn’t really have any of those issues since this is how imagine dragons intended the song to be, and the verse is pretty good on its own aswell.

In my opinion I like this more not because I don't like the rap, but the lyrics match more with the arcane story, I recommend watching it, you don't need to play LoL to understand, it's a masterpiece. I cried and you get a different vibe when you listen after Arcane

This one is so much better! Good thing they did 2 versions.

This version is WAAAAAY SO MUCH BETTER. Thanks a lot :D

"They say pray it away I swear, that I never be a saint, no way A chair in the corner is my place I stay I shake and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start The child in the basement, face to the pavement *Oh, what a statement, love is embracement Love is a constant, love is a basis He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed But' keep on praying ..."

The rap in this version fits better with arcane. Such as "the powers at play" line and talking about how love is a basses. Jus like how powder thinks about relationships. Also in the rap we hear about how some people had a rough child hood.

After listening to this song 1000 times in a single day. I might listen to it once more!

When I listen to this song, I listen twice. Both versions are great and this song is amazing. I listened to this song about 100 times in just 4 days. That’s ridiculous

This version is so, so so much better! I'll never understand why nowadays everyone thinks it's necessary to cram a couple verses of low quality rap in anything they release.

I’m glad there’s two version, but let’s be real, this is the better version.

This is the better version for sure. Shame this has hardly any views compaired to the rap version.

This version is so much better. Thank you for uploading

I like how people be complaining about the JID rap yet this dude is still fucking rapping. People be thinking backwards bro. I for one enjoy both versions.

Lyrics : [Intro] Look out for yourself [Verse 1] I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground I'm searching to behold the stories that are told When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned [Pre-Chorus] Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn, they hate us [Chorus] Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y (Look out for yourself) My enemy-y-y-y-y (Look out for yourself) But I'm ready [Verse 2] Your words up on thе wall as you're prayin' for my fall And the laughter in thе halls and the names that I've been called I stack it in my mind, and I'm waiting for the time When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic [Pre-Chorus] Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn, they hate us (Ha) [Chorus] Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y (Look out for yourself) My enemy-y-y-y-y (Yeah) (Look out for yourself) [Bridge] They say pray it away I swear, that I'll never be a saint, no way A chair in the corner is my place I stay I shake and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start The child in the basement, face to the pavement Oh, what a statement, love is embracement Love is a constant, love is a basis He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed Keep on praying Goodbye [Chorus] Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy [Outro] Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way My enemy Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint (Look out for yourself)

With or without rap, this is awesome af.

this versions is a lot better than the original, thanks dude

thank you so much, I was wondering if I was the only one who didn't like the rap part :3

I love both versions equally tbh. Both bangers.

To me the rap part is fine at first but the ending part just gets really awkward and doesn’t fit. The rest of it works but once the music kinda cuts out and it sounds like the same thing being repeated over and over it just sounds… wrong? Ig

Ah yes, the good version.

YESSS! I’ve been waiting so long for someone to take out the rap :) I honestly ❤this version

The lyrics that replaced JID makes so much more sense

This is my favorite version, thank you for posting it!

I first found this version when a radio station in my country (Traxx FM if you live in Malaysia) play this particular version. I was like, "Where is the rap?". Took me a while for some quick search, but this is the Solo Mix version.

Finally the listenable version

Para mí las dos versiones son GOD, pq igual JID hizo un buen trabajo

J.I.D did a great job, but the rap just didn't fit the song imo. But I'm glad there are two version, so everybody can get what they want.

Prefer this over the Rap version. The Rapper overdid it his part.

The best version, ever!!!

it's so much better without rap. honestly, even rap is better without rap

(Typed this all out!) I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows, For my mind to run around, With my ear up to the ground, I'm searching to behold the stories that are told. When my back is to the world, There was smiling when I turned, Tell you you're the greatest, But once you turn they hate us, Oh, the misery! Everybody wants to be my enemy! Spare the sympathy... Everybody wants to be... (My enemy!) My Enemy But I'm ready :) Your words up on the wall as you're praying for my fall, And the laughter in the halls and the names that i've been called, I stack it in my mind and i'm waiting for the time, To show you what it's like to be word's spit in a mic! Tell you you're the greatest, But once you turn they hate us, Oh, the misery! Everybody wants to be my enemy! Spare the sympathy... Everybody wants to be... (My enemy!) My Enemy They say pray it away, I swear that i'll never be a saint, no way, A chair in the corner is my place I stay, I shake and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play, And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start, The child in the basement, face to the pavement, Oh what a statement, love is embracement. Love is a constant, love is a basis! He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed... But keep on praying, Goodbye... Oh, the misery! Everybody wants to be my enemy! Spare the sympathy... Everybody wants to be... (My enemy!) Oh, the misery! Everybody wants to be my enemy! Spare the sympathy... Everybody wants to be... (My enemy!) Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way My enemy Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint (Look out for yourself) The end! Tell me if I made any mistakes! :D Also ty for this amazing video now I know how to listen to this amazing song lol

esta cancion es una de las unicas que me hace erizar la piel

Kinda disappointed that the J.I.D version shows up way more. I like this one way more, and it seems like its almost impossible to find this one on Spotify and stuff. I'd be fine if these two versions are advertised equally, but I hate never seeing my favorite version anymore.

i love this version without shitty rap which ruined the original. Because rap just breaks the beautiful rhythm of this song

omg i looove this version. i really like both!! i heard this one first, then sort of didn't find it on tidal (spotify alternative). thought i had just imagined (dragon'd) the whole thing until i finally thought of searching on youtube! i am a happy human today for this. thanks for uploading!!

Much better without the rap xD

much better only Imagine Dragons now is perfect

La parte de J.I.D no esta mal. Pero literalmente corta el ritmo la canción se para. Y el cambio de voz es muy repentino

Finally, a version with no trash rap.

Finally now I don't need to skip the rap

awesome, thank you for posting it

I like Imagine Dragons, and ever since I heard this song, I really thought that JID ruined the song. I don't think rap fits Imagine Dragons songs--- it just kills the vibe, to be honest.

I been lookin for this version forever thx. Idk why they left that verse on the other version they know they shoulda told ol boy to rewrite that verse🤦🏽‍♂️

I heard this version on the radio recently, and I love it more than the other

이 버전이 너무 좋음... ㄹㅇ..

i'm a rap fan, but the JID part was anticlimatic af, this is a slighly way of riot demonstrate that they appreciate rap, but doesnt work in my opnion .

Honestly the "pray it away" part is the best part in this song. I like this version 1000% more.

Both version is fire. Thank you for upload !

the better version, change my mind

Tbh I will always love both versions, they're very well done, but hearing this is kinda a breath of fresh air.

LYRICS: I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground I'm searching to behold the stories that are told When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn, they hate us Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy (Look out for yourself) My enemy (look, look, look, look) (Look out for yourself) But I'm ready Your words up on the wall as you're praying for my fall And the laughter in the halls and the names that I've been called I stack it in my mind and I'm waiting for the time When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn, they hate us (huh) Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy (look, look, look, look) (Look out for yourself) My enemy (look, look, look, look) (yeah) (Look out for yourself) Uh, look Okay, I'm hoping that somebody pray for me I'm praying that somebody hope for me I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be P-P-Posted, being a wreck of emotions Ready to go whenever, just let me know The road is long, so put the pedal into the floor The enemy on my trail, my energy unavailable I'ma tell 'em, "Hasta luego" They wanna plot on my trot to the top I've been outta shape, thinkin' out the box, I'm an astronaut I blasted off the planet rock to cause catastrophe And it matters more because I had it not Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition Kinda shocking they wanted static with precision, I'm automatic Quarterback, I ain't talkin' sacking Pack it, pack it up, I don't panic Batter, batter up, who the baddest? It don't matter 'cause we at your throat Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be my enemy Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint, no way My enemy Pray it away, I swear I'll never be a saint

My problem with the rap was it took me out of the rhythm. Which, ya know, is a thing when you are dancing around your workshop. If you're sitting still the rap portion is fun.

I like both version’s of the song but this has a better and smoother drop

This version is so much better than that mumble rap crap they added. The flow just falls tf apart. This is MUCH better.

This is the best version defintively

"She cannot be He cannot be They cannot be, changed so keep on praying....goodbye" Just my favorite lyrics of the song 👏👏

They say pray it away I swear, that I'll never be a saint, no way A chair in the corner is my place I stay I shake and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start The child in the basement, face to the pavement Oh, what a statement, love is embracement Love is a constant, love is a basis He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed But keep on praying Goodbye I feel like this is directed at Arcane haha

better than the normal one, ngl

Imagine dragons: Well riot, we´re ready to record, how epic you desire the song to be? Riot: Yes. Imagine Dragons: What? Riot: That too, Yes. Imagine Dragons: .........

I FOUND IT. PERFECTION. No stupid trash rap segment. Such garbage. All he does is talk real fast. It's like eminem but his lyrics are just random shit so that it rhymes. At least with eminem he makes them clever and they really blow you away but this guy just rattles off random stupid shit that makes no sense. Imagine Dragons should have just done this on their own..they have actual talent.

Now it's perfect

This version is way better than the rap version

I hate the part where J.I.D comes in its so annoying it really seems out of place i love this one so much thx

I was looking for this version. I agree with most I think the J.I.D version feels forced almost determined to add him no matter at what cost. Though I'm sure he is a Great Artist

2:12 perfect timing for ringtone

i don't really like the rap version honestly. taking it out makes a great song perfect

Every now and then you’ve gotta think: Does everyone want to be your enemy, or are you making yourself everyone’s?

Ooooo. I love this version. Thank you

Deffo better without the rap, just isn’t my thing, still a jam tho

The J.I.D just makes it worst but this version is just fire 🔥

(Look out for yourself!) I wake up to the sounds Of the silence that allows For my mind to run around With my ear up to the ground I'm searching to behold The stories that are told When my back is to the world That was smiling when I turned Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn they hate us Oh the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy Everybody wants to be My enemy-y-y-y-y Look out for yourself My enemy-y-y-y-y (look) (look) (look) (look) Look out for yourself But I'm ready Your words up on the wall, As you're praying for my fall. And the laughter in the halls, And the names that I've been called... I stack it in my mind, And I'm waiting for the time... When I show you what it's like, TO BE WORDS SPIT IN A MIC! Tell you you're the greatest! But once you turn they hate us... (Hah) Oh, the misery! Everybody wants to be my enemy! Spare the sympathy! Everybody wants to be... ...My enemy. y- (Look) y- (Look) y- (Look) y- (Look) y- (Look out for yourself!) My enemy! y- (Look) y- (Look) y- (Look) y- (Look) y- (Look out for yourself!) They say, "Pray it away" , I swear, that I'll never be a saint, no way; A chair, in the corner is my place I stay, I shake, and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play... And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start, The child from the basement, face to the pavement; Oh, what a statement, love is embracement, Love is a constant, love is the basis... He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed; But keep on praying... * Music Stops * *...Goodbye.* OH, THE MISERY; * Music Starts * EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE MY ENEMY! SPARE THE SYMPATHY, EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE... ...MY ENEMY! OH, THE MISERY! EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE MY ENEMY! SPARE THE SYMPATHY, EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE... ...My Enemy. Pray it away, I swear, I'll never be a saint, no way... My enemy. Pray it away, I swear, I'll never be a saint... (Look out for yourself!..) Credit To: My Ears LoL

I love how this version gives the song a WHOLE NEW MEANING and as a trans guy who's had to cut unaccepting people out of my life, I absolutely LOVE this version.

i like with and without J.I.D

I love this version

Finally found it, ive been looking for this for so long lol sorry im late.

me personally, i rlly dislike most rap, so this version is MUCH better imo

justo como la quería, muchas gracias!
