lyrics

I spit molten rock, let the lava flow
Flames from my lungs, coming to melt your afterglow
So many hardly know: the price of your vice
Is creating a life that cannot survive
Take what we want, til there’s nothing to take
Break everything, til there’s nothing to break
The back of the slave, bends out of shape
While the belly of the rich man never knows ache
The time has come, we must awake
And stop the thieves, before they escape
With all the loot, they mould the dollar sign
But the dollar’s fine riding high on it’s borrowed time
Until the crash, watch the bubble burst
The fire burns bright on it’s troubled hearth
Clearing that rubbled Earth, we making way
It’s progress: and we all getting pay

DON'T THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
IT'S SAFE TO HIDE IN FLOCKS
WE ARE THE RABBITS RUNNING TRYING TO HIDE FROM THE FOX

The mic explodes, when I spit that rhyme
I'm bringing a sonic boom, working it double time
Open up you eyes, now see that brighter ray
Our space in this place, needs a lighter way
Lateral thinking, many men are drinking
Drunkenly dancing as the ship is sinking
The seas are rough, some of them go overboard
Dancing til they drown out all of their sober thoughts
The lunatics now run the ward
They’ve overrun the overlord
So look to the stars, to see whose in charge
Then see who still stands up in the aftermath
Our bridges burning, the tide is turning
Learning there’s no need to subdue our yearning
For the next expense, many men look so tense
Their commonsense, tells them to stay within the fence
