[Verse 1]

Reality sets in, how do we prevent this?

Getting out of hand, 'Bout to lose independence

Strip the declared set God-given rights

A creation of man for the non-risen plight

Power to the poor, we can’t do this anymore

Boutta' file a class action, bait and switched lure

Why don’t any presidents sign up to fight wars?

Maybe cause we’re dropping bombs, progressing and past swords

Now the fucking cowards devoured up all funds

Till' an arms race coming, inheriting more guns

While they’re sеnding their votes, the samе old tenure they boast

And they can order any troops for invading the coast

Bodies on Normandy, what the fuck was the cost?

They put a price up on the lives and souls that still lost

Gone by the finish and couldn’t see that we won

I’m thinking too many people had letters they had lost sons


[Chorus]

Screaming like the banshees but you can’t understand me

New world order jeopardized, we’re left to vigilantes

Withered can’t be pollinated, give it to the foundry

Ones who got us into this, I’m sure they’re resting soundly

What is a king but without the crown?

Tearing at the walls and bring em' down

Trace the schematic and rig the assembly

Letters are not cutting it, we gotta act directly

How are defectors allowed to live?

Those who had elections around us did

Imma' level the city, facility to admit me

But nah, the populace’s pity ain’t enough to acquit me


[Verse 2]

Play tit for tat, bitch stop with the cap

And there ain’t much worse than a cop with no badge

Lighter your skin, the less trouble you’re in

And with a flexible religion, better double your sins

Famine to the rich, turn the place with a switch

Put the bombs on the beams and we’re blowing up the bridge

We don’t need a checkpoint, wanna see their neck joints

Broken while they hang high, book at who they exploit

Nothing for the aid, no favors been made

For the groups of the people and victims that were preyed

Dirt’s what ya earned, 'Boutta hurt from the jets

In a no fly zone, alert them from the west

Keep 'em apart, keep 'em equally separate

With the blind rage and I’m keeping it temperate

Bigot with the privilege, talk skin tone

You don’t wanna head down through the yellow brick road


[Chorus]

Screaming like the banshees but you can’t understand me

New world order jeopardized, we’re left to vigilantes

Withered can’t be pollinated, give it to the foundry

Ones who got us into this, I’m sure they’re resting soundly

What is a king but without the crown?

Tearing at the walls and bring em' down

Trace the schematic and rig the assembly

Letters are not cutting it, we gotta act directly

How are defectors allowed to live?

Those who had elections around us did

Imma' level the city, facility to admit me

But nah, the populace’s pity ain’t enough to acquit me
