Lyrics
if yer asking me
how we got to where we be
i would tell you that to see
this world this world aint free
if yer asking me then here let me tell you
these rich bastards just use buy and sell you
want ta be masters tv thrash you a spell who
tells you what is true but the sky aint blue
in this world their myst of smog
twirls bout you but you already lost in their fog
words used to awaken like the fist of god
twist some medicine and make my own fog
i don't believe in their book so i look hard
cuz the true god is in me i don't need their fraud
within the walls of my body my soul my lightening rod
to absorb this world frightening so i mod
ify my plans look to the sky for guidience
everything in my life has pointed me towards defiance
compliance with this shit just aint an option
so i make the battle plan believe that i'm plotting
if yer asking me
how we got to where we be
i would tell you that to see
this world this world aint free
so here i am and here we are
from where i stand i can see very far
their truth is a lie they steal with their law
wage slave in a cage the rage drop yer jaw
thought i was crazy but then i saw
the world was crazy yo maybe naw
it cant be me it aint me this is on par
to being locked in a mad house but yer ma
was born there too and they said to you
this is normal you do what yer told to do
they tell you what's true tell ya what to think
put poison in yer food poison in yer drink
poison for yer body poison for yer soul
poison for yer mind cuz it's easy to control
a poisoned person cuz if their dead inside
you can lie to their eyes theres no need to hide it
if yer asking me
how we got to where we be
i would tell you that to see
this world this world aint free
freedom is there still inside of me
no matter what they do they can't stop the
people uprising the task to be
ready for the battle if yer asking me
these concrete jungles ready to explode the rumble
forces training to fight in the rubble
to protect those who still want to live in their bubble
together the people we'll stay warm if we huddle
and bunker down never a showdown like this
they criminalize the youth now they sayin terrorists
are in our midst if yer raising yer fist
they adding you to the list are you gonna swallow this?
i'm not going to follow this one second longer
together the people united nothing is stronger
the people in power psychopathic like jeffrey daumer
so my words telepathic and graphic an honour
to use the verbal mathmatics maybe a gonner
the choice automatic anyway so whats wrong or
right to sleep or fight bring static i might
use the mic like dynamite i've had it i'm not gonna bite
i grab it the pen and so i write
pass back with the sight of night the plight
of the world as it twirls through the blackness like
a jewel we've been fools i stash this word as a tool
to break the rashness yo rap this through
crash this syllable right into you
indivisible and visual we break right through
ask me i'll tell you it's simple we fight for what's true
if yer asking me
how we got to where we be
i would tell you that to see
this world this world aint free
freedom is there still inside of me
no matter what they do they can't stop the
people uprising the task to be
ready for the battle if yer asking me
