[Verse 1]

Storm up to the door thinking that we kicking down using a Trojan Horse

It won't open with force, our moments short, so what's the last resort?

Picking the lock – plan B skeleton key sticking

Covered up in gloves and hats so they can't match our description

A.N.S. masked marauders

Hip hop's Doctors Without Borders

Operation: No More Lies

Kidnaps the daughter of a media mogul

Who hijacked the hip hop game

We took her to close the gap

We demand a prisoner exchange

Now, run in the back room. Don't nobody say shit

Helixx C grab that chick before she runs quick

Don't worry 'bout her man, he done made me mad

Fold that nigga like a dress shirt and throw him in a duffel bag

In the hummer now we're off as I proudly thought my crew

Initiates the long awaited media coup

A car passes blastin' music from the bullshit charts

Ain't no turning back from here, ANOMOLIES is going hard

[Interlude 1]

There's been a big kidnapping

She screamed when the men burst in and started beating her fiance

The young heiress was forced into the trunk of a white car

Police say the whole thing was carried out with commando-like precision

What we received in the mail today appears to be a seven page statement plus a tape recording

And according to the demands, which we'll outline here, it says all these things must be publicized in full

Which is what we're doing now

[Verse 2]

Now, listen up people: This is our communiqué

If you want your daughter, be wise and do just what we say

Tell the truth, you own both right wing AMs full of haters

And the FMs who cater to the lowest common denominator

Tell the truth about payola-based quotas and your motives

To hold our attention so you sell it to the highest donor

Truth is, your companies wanting to stifle freedom of speech

'Cause without neutrality, the net will filter what you see

We resorted to these tactics 'cause you know you can afford it

We demand our own stations so our voices ain't distorted

We demand you break bread for the babies – they need educating

Updated books and computers for the future they're creating

We demand that you give us our wireless citywide

And make it free so we can truly end the digital divide

We demand that you stop making hip hop commercialized

Before it meets its own demise by the devil in disguise

[Interlude 2]

Dad, I'm ok, I just hope that you'll do what they say, dad, and do it quickly

I just want you to know that I'm going to do everything I can to get you out of there

It's a little frightening because the initial demand is one that's impossible to meet

However, in the next 24-48 hrs I'll be trying my best to come back with some kind of a counter offer that's acceptable

[Verse 3]

A station, they said you could have it right here

Fill out this bureaucratic nightmare

They'll tell us if it's up to standard in 5 years

Gave excuses, no books or computers for the youth

Free stickers and hats to every single public school

They said they're giving us the wireless, it's trash

Taxing us with hidden fees they profit while we crash

Just because you throw a bone, that don't make it grub

Rap stars and Nascar, that's not what we asked for

You want your daughter? Come and get her

But when he arrived, surprise! All that he found was a letter

She said, "Pops, I've known since I've been grown

You hijacked the minds of the masses, gave 'em Stockholm syndrome

I helped ANOMOLIES plot all along

To take your monopoly spot, and while you're reading this we're gone."

Creating our own outlets even if it ain't out yet

Seeing typical trends through a critical lens

Making media, music, so you have no influence

Mobilizing a movement so your brainwashing is useless

[Outro: Grace Lee Boggs]

There's an opportunity for a new society to be built

On people who are transforming themselves

And who are not just opposing those that oppress them
