lyrics

I’m storming in, no prior warning, I was born to win
Apply the force to limbs to snap the wack with cracking goriness
Hyperextend your definition of hype and high performances
The bison stampeding ornaments and the assorted swords you spin
Historians building time machines to find my form again
The rhyming scheme without a blueprint beyond the vital need
Make the vinyl bleed, test presses melting back to plastic pellets
Syntax is hellish, elevator cable snaps the zealots
A batch of relics sharper than the blades they ever made
Wreck a team with witty repartee, so let it rain
The show is never over until the mic is set aflame
I enter trains of thought and hijack them with my rapping
Sick of the cops from street patrollers to the high captains
Gripping some glocks with no repercussions when they try bashing
Paid vacation with a slap on the wrist, supplied action
And I imagine if someone dies at my job, somebody’s getting fired
Plus going to jail, but cops? Nah, we let em prevail
Because the bootlickers forever love leather instead it’s betrayal
Like Flav said, it’s a joke and the laugh track is blue in the face
I feel disgust and rage, but question what I can do with the taste?
Making moves against a system keeping us in line with fear
And they’d rather bump some pop instead of ever trying to hear
I’m learning the distance between a protest and a movement
One is temporary catharsis and the system hopes we use it
No changes are made, but how does one repair a broken system
When those set up us against each other staying so consistent
Pretend it’s all going to be okay, like let's just deny madness
Max the credit cards so living large, pump life lavish
The dynamic of lying cats selling dreams remains
A blood lust that seeks some plasmas must crush our needy veins
Walls collapse, familiar needles dig for gold we make
We leave with bruises, sugar cookie souvenirs, and moldy cake
