Lyrics:
Verse 1
In the US they ain’t hearing this/ the news condone whats hideous/
Pro war for imperialist/ bombing all those innocent/
But paint it like
Jealousy and paranoia that's why at war
Sambo type tactics now they call that shit back doored
Use to have mothers on the block Now they just whores
I
Well, my cousin Gerry was shot by a cop
Now he's in the cold room, the motherless fuck
He did have a mother, the last name of Lord
Passed on from
gift
We received from mother Earth
So let's play this game
Bodies surrounded by fire
And envy of stars
Stimulation of every part
Of mind, body
I know some killers
And people that's pimping hoes
But they live by a code
Which is better than them CEOs
You think that Bezos give a damn about
on gasoline
Just to find themselves outnumbered by the thousands
Who'd already traveled down that road of dreams
When the war was over all the baby booms
When I was courted by the loved and reckless
I made my case to the highest names
But they drowned me out in hallelujahs
All deaf, all deaf with
ray shine
It's brighter with the second sun
With the will I am my brother's keeper so I hold a ton
About my father and my mother business so thy will be
how
It's the connections by anything self respect
You were a church youth faced with death
I’m a rise until my casket
Drop my last breath
5 star general
shudders
No rudder ambergris, whale blubber
The sea is a beast
Landlubbers scream for wives, Mothers
Bleached bones thrown on rocky beach
Beset by buzzards
They say that true paradise lies in the heart of man
That maybe so, but I'm ready once more
To run for the cover of my secret hiding place
Where I
devotion 'cause I'm
The Earth, Wind, and Fire of hip hop
By Rakim and Short I been inspired
My shit knocks environ---ments
Of cats wit seventeen's tint, time
Straight uptown from money earnin' mow-vee
I carry my tech nine, and troop with the yg'z
So when beef comes, I'm ready for war
I put a slug in my
How ready are you
To die for an ideal
What's the connection
Between a lie and what is real
Mother Superior
I've got an angel on my back
I'm
Where would we be without the sand and the sea?
Without a little help from the birds and the bees?
My family tree depends on the future of a plea,
mother
We're praying for the world
And for the people eveywhere
Gonna show them all we care
[Chorus]
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
derelict whales
Old mothers singing rusty old tales
Like revving engines keening sky high
Yet theirs is never a war cry
So I'll be your lover now, brazen
go ahead and kill themselves
I will not sign my blind faith away
To an unjustly leader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their
mother and father of four
All my life I grew up watchin' others dreams come true
And how I waited for my day in the sun
Every day I worked harder
And I
Tell me just another lie
Now we're woven under ice
Tell me that there is no other
I am a child - Be my mother
If you lie, babe - If you bother
COMES JOHNNY HERO
HIS CHEST IS ALL ABLAZE
MEDALS FROM THE WAR WORLDS
BY CHRIST YOU'D BE AMAZED
NEVER ENDING VIOLENCE
GENERAL SHAKES YOUR HAND
SCREW
Tried to divide us
They tried to conquer us
Yet we still thrive
Got my head up high
I'm just a black man tryna get by
Nothing more, nothing less
It all started on the motherland wars mainly tribal
Europeans arrived to the shores with the bible
Man become a slave or the sword of a rival
A hard
polarizing
When friends and families start to
Post opinions so surprising
(Don't enter the flame wars) You
Can always close the screen
Go out for a walk
