All I want to do is get paid back 
For all that time I spent in the back 
Livin' in shacks fillin' up sacks of cotton 
Now it's what we fought you're makin' six packs 
There's some got our hope out of control 
Of my soul pass the Ol' Gold 
Behold the pale horse Supreme Court 
Sweatin' niggas like sports 
Hunt a nigga for sport 
See a nigga play sports no support 
On the outside lookin' in 
If that's what's up then I ain't never been in style then 
Everything is anything, anything is upbeat of nothing 
Once again, poisoned from the paper and pen 
You better defend that bullshit on the other end 
F*ck your own thing, if your own thing's the wrong thing 
F*ck dem chicken wings 
Last able man standing 
Follow what? I ain't understanding 
What's better to understand then be misunderstood? 
'cause the FBI is up to no good 
Power to the peeps who come with their own drum 
And don't end up like sheep 

[Chorus]
Kill! Kill 'em live! 
Kill! Kill 'em live! 
Kill! Kill 'em live! 

Mad heads confused by the isms 
Bustin' caps incoginisms 
Phone taps, makin' sure they record ya 
From my midnight plane to Georgia, uh 
Ancient to ? player 
The life giver, the name take-awayer 
Propaganda can't gasp the last man standing 
Assassinate all the plannin' 
Get wreck, what you see is what you get 
To plunder more stars than Trek 
21st Century Robin Hood 
I guess the politics are robbin' hoods 
F*ck the Government 'cause you know that I would 
'Cause the FBI is up to no good 
Power to the peeps who come with their own drum 
And don't end up like sheep 

[Chorus: x5]

Be a bitch is a foreign crime 
Engine, engine number nine
Engineerin' monopolies, triggers and uninsured jalopy's 
Catchin' more lock than companies 
Engineerin' opinion and policies 
Herd following like sheep 
Following of the sheep will be sheep 
Based on what they heard from their peeps, uh 
Able to straddle quick beats without a battle 
Politician assassinated 
Rappers get shot, quote Chris Rock 
"To have, to have not" is the question 
Yes, them 'have nots' be robots 
All the sheeps have forgot 
The 'haves' keep the 'have nots' guessin' 
Under them Smith and Wessuns 

[Chorus: x7]
