SOUNDS LIKE A DISEASE
You know we got to fight to unite
Otherwise say good night, that’s right
No more bullshit from here on out, no doubt
Finding out what it’s all about
You got the covetous spread out amongst us
But the numbers are few,
So what we gonna do?
Tell ‘em: We had enough of you.
We aren’t taking your lies no more
The time has come, we’re gonna settle the score,
And we’re not gonna fight your war.
Hungry spirits got it all and they still want more
They make it sound like it’s knocking at our front door
But they’re really at the back,
Walking out with our stack.
Never did a hard day in their whole life
Not an ounce of strife
Wouldn’t want to be in their afterlife
God forbid
Look what they did
They ran a hit
____________
Well the time has come
For our nation
To rise like the sun
To be the one
To set it all off
Get ‘em all going right
You know---knock ‘em all outta sight
Make them feel the tightness of our communities
Before they do more to pollute our seas
And our cities
With their lies
That I despise
Time for the people to rise.

I SAID HELLO DAD HE SAID HI
ASKED HOW I WAS DOING AND I SAID I WAS FINE
HE SAID ITS BEEN AWHILE
WHAT YOU BEEN DOING ALL THIS TIME
I SAID I BEEN TRADING TRYING TO MAKE ME A MIL
HE SAID WELL THAT'S GOOD
BUT YOU STILL GOTTA PAY THE BILLS
SIGNED UP FOR THE ARMY TO MAKE SOME BREAD
THEN I GOT SCARED I'D WIND UP DEAD
IF I WOULD OF STAYED, I'D OF WENT TO IRAQ
SOME OF MY FRIENDS DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK
I STARTED WORKING MIDNIGHTS IN A FACTORY
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO KNOW IT WASN'T FOR ME
PUT UP WITH THE CRAP JUST TO BUILD SOME BANK
THE FUTURE WAS CALLING AS MY LIFE SANK
NOW I GOT A JOB AT A TELEMARKETING PLACE
WHERE I SIT IN A CHAIR AND SLAP MY FACE
TO KEEP MYSELF AWAKE, CAUSE ITS SO LAME
WHERE AM I GONNA GO NOW THAT I'VE GONE INSANE
I SAID HELLO DAD HE SAID HI
HE TOLD ME SON I SEE SOMETHING DARK IN YOUR EYE
THIS MONEY THING IS CRUSHING MY SOUL
I HOPE I LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO REACH MY GOAL

WALKING

WALKING DOWN THE STREET
walking down the street
shoes on my feet
cops on the beat
honies on my fleet
their candy so sweet
whatchu know about slinging meat?
Walking down the bad street
needles hanging out of me
the down in all I need
To satisfy the evil deed.
Walking down the beach
No shoes on my feet
catching these waves
that are flowing up to me
squish the sand between my toes
as I watch the sun set
'cause I defeated them evil foes.

WE WON THE WAR

THIS IS THE TIME OF THE CENTURY
FOR US TO LIVE AND BE FREE
JUST WAKE UP AND BE A FAMILY
DOING GOOD BRINGS PROSPERITY
WE FOUGHT HARD TO RECLAIM OUR LAND
IT TOOK A LOT OF HANDS
BUT WE WON THE WAR
NOW WE DONT HAVE TO FIGHT ANY MORE
WE SUBTRACTED THEM FROM SOCIETY
FOR ADDING NOTHING BUT MISERY
MULTIPLYING MEDIOCRITY
TRYING TO DIVIDE HUMANITY
THE MATH WASNT HARD TO FGURE OUT
THE 99 PERCENT HAS THE MOST CLOUT
BUT WE WON THE WAR
NOW WE DONT HAVE TO FIGHT ANY MORE
