They gave you this life. They gave you a name. Education religion they wanted you the same Raised in a bubble, placed in a box. But you heard the outside, you listen to their thoughts. I don’t wannabe like you I just wannabe me Those people on the outside Are just waiting to be set free My mind has just been woken These doors have slowly been opened  I see the light comin through  I put my hand out to you So now your thoughts are changing. Who's wrong? Who's right? Only way to know is Get out of this box What is normal? Being formal? What is formal? Being normal? I am what I am and that’s what I’ll be A new age soldier in a graphic tee I learned more in life than school taught me I never needed algebra or calculus 3 You spend all these years now you must conform  Put you in a line and kick you out the door  Now your thoughts are changing  You gotta just hear what I’m sayin  There ain’t no way you could put me down  Cause' I’ll get back up when I hit the ground  Resiliency means no sympathy  I’ll die tryin no complicity It’s like a wasteland filled with human uranium These people so toxic got to their cranium  Time to get gas mask & iodine tabs Hit the fallout shelter & wait for it to pass But long term effects affects what you can do  Cause' decisions were made by people With no clue Look at what you doing to my plight  Look at what you’re to my people overnight Now your thoughts are changing  You gotta just hear what I’m sayin Now your thoughts are changing  You gotta just hear what I’m sayin Now your thoughts are changing  Is get out Of this box

These thoughts that you’re having We should explore Let my words wash over you You’re shutting down You’re getting sleepy Let’s have some fun This is where I count From 5 to 1 Five You’re shutting down Four You’re sinking down Three Isn’t this relaxing Two We’ve just begun One Look at this mess What they’ve done You should’ve been in charge You can make them run Build an army Fight while you can They just need a leader I know a man You know this won’t be easy In fact it’s hard But I have faith in you You’ve proudly worn your scars You fight for many reasons You can’t let them down So lead the resistance Tear the system down I am that man you speak of My people gonna meet up At twelve o’clock on the dot At the spot where they got Them guns to deduct All them powers tryin to bring us down I think I Got the team that’s gonna run this town It’s dark outside & hell is hot Dance with the devil but I know that’s not The way to go the scenario Is push these people so I say go-go! You want that leader You want that that cheetah You want that man that’s fast as hell And could beat Devita Five You’re shutting down Four You’re sinking down Three Isn’t this relaxing Two We’ve just begun One You have work to do you must save this world a broken world must be rebuilt Give em what you deserve shout your message for those who are afraid it’s time to wake them up to a better way a better way a better way Let’s begin Now these people are just scared to be awakened So I raise my voice a little bit more Get the hell up - stop Procrastin This is the war it’s marshal law Find the very first Republocrat Hack his head off with a saw You make me sick, physically ill You can’t stop lyin cuz you all denyin That you’ve left us at a standstill This is our country Call it a war zone It could be the fact that no one react To the big hole in the ozone One How refreshing Two You’re waking up Three It’s all so clear now Four What you must do Five It’s time to start the mission We’re sick of all the bitchin It’s time to start the mission We’re sick of all the bitchin Welcome back Take the power back Take the power back We all rise up take the power back Take the power back Take the power back Can’t you see we’re under attack Take the power back Take the power back There’s more a us than you & we’re packed & strapped Take the power back Take the power back I’ll build this army & we won’t fall back

Resist 04:29
Wake up your mother and wake up your dad text all your friends cause the world is going mad shootings and cages and nuclear bombs screaming of sirens the howling of dogs fighting for rights that you thought you had slowly they take them declaring them bad they won’t be happy till you’re on your knees but you won’t conform to their twisted disease Resist Resist They heard you message you chanting resist slowly they follow each raising a fist sick of the lies sick of the threats we’re taking it back we’re doing our best resist Try to resist what the government does  They’ll - wipe you off the map & cover it up So - I get my team we’ll assemble at night Then - We break the walls down and start up the fight  Cuz we don’t give a fuck about you Not about to bow to  Kings & rulers Are like a massive tumor Everyone’s a hypocrite actin like they innocent  Takin lobby money so your platform is just counterfeit  Where have all the riots gone Start one now I’ll ride along They can’t defend against  A mob of people goin strong  You’ve opened up mind to a whole new reality Takin out the wannabes like a disease We’re sick of the lies We’re sick of the threats Taking it back We’re doing our best Resist We won't be your puppets We won't be your pawns We will overcome We will not conform Resit

Lines 02:35
I'm falling through these hours I'm slipping in these cracks in time I'm painting with these colors No one knows I'm color blind I came crashing down & completely broke Smashed into a million pieces I lost all hope I'm not good I'm not good Lost all hope Must be broke I'm not good I'm not good Lost all hope Must be broke I was standing in line to eat standing in line to sleep standing in line to smoke standing in line for hope I've been sleeping for days & days Waiting for the light to turn on Living in my dreams I snuck away But it was all wrong I'm not good I'm not good  Lost all hope Must be broke I'm not good I'm not good So let's be bad

One of Us 04:31
Follow me and ride the The last unicorn I’m on the vibe of being reborn Falling down On the ground Some of us See IN TECHNICOLOR But Look at me I could see Everything come to life I’m gonna just stay up forever Live my life in the night I’m in a field - great wide open I always wanna feel this good and woken I think I’m somewhere I think I’m nowhere I think an overwhelming feeling Got me so aware I’m seeing tastes I’m tastin colors I feel the world move Binary numbers Everything is purple Bazooka gum taste You know them fake grapes But they still great I just wanna meet the koolaid man He could smash right through the wall and put a drink in my hand I’m so high I could never (be low) In fact I’m so high up I see the clouds below I’m Super speeding through space Slowin down time Meta-Morphisizing objects with a thought from my mind I never want it to end it’s making all these shades of purple I feel like I’m just molecules Cuz the shrooms, lit the fuse Now I’m seein everything in twos woo Do I know you are you Ric Flair? I can’t see cuz I’m lookin in the mirror It sucked me in like in a movie Then the magic mirror on the wall Gave the vape To me They said open your mind & be free Look at what it’s doin to me I’m 3 D Take some time out Do you know me There’s something here That’s gonna set us free You’re one of us

Haha, I’ll tell you, In politics what you see is not what you get however life is politics, you do it or it does you. Nothing is sweeter and more addictive than power. You see, I will do anything to climb to the top, sacrifice others, crush my enemies ,it doesn’t matter why, This is my domain. Anything that anyone does must go through me.

You think that these people respect you & your tyrannical Ways? You must pay for the injustice done, just look at the chaos you’ve caused. (Devita: but) (Chains rattle) SHUT UP! You don’t deserve to speak. My brothers & sisters in arms, It wasn't just me who Captured Devita & his army, all of you made it possible. We did it, the resistance has taken over. Now lower him down, We WILL put him in the middle of the city where everyone CAN do as they wish. Now We are the judge jury and executioner.

Hold your head up Look in their eyes These are the people that chose how you die. No trial was needed Your actions were seen on a global Transmission exposing your scheme You lied to our faces You stole from us too You punished the sick And bragged like a fool The pockets were lined The agenda was clear You played on the hate You played on the fear The fear didn't last The hate brought you here Put on display Placed in a cage Made an example A small price to pay We'll stream it live on tyrant tv In the center of town You can beg on your knees So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be It’s time for your pain it’s time for your sufferin Left on your back and now you got nothin Everyone wanted you brought to your knees I formed the resistance took down the Regime My mind was set when I got out the box I formed this army, made roadblocks Now we got the puppet master locked up In the center of the town where they markup Everything that he does with a with a whip and a chain And a strike to the brain Feeling numb from the pain But you can’t stop the reign Cuz we’re Goin insane This man is pure evil like the devil in the flesh But we caught him & locked him up he failed his own test Now it’s time for you to expire but the people want their licks They gon whip you & kick you Like a gang of lunatics You were nothing then, you are nothing now Just a puppet of the of the system that this gang took down Put on display Placed in a cage Made an example A small price to pay We'll stream it live on tyrant tv In the center of town You can beg on your knees So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be So shall it be You didn’t like that, You didn’t like that, We took your ass and beat you down You didn’t like that You didn’t like that, You didn’t like that, We took your ass and beat you down You didn’t like that You didn’t like that, You didn’t like that, We took your ass and beat you down You didn’t like that You didn’t like that, You didn’t like that, We took your ass and beat you down You didn’t like that And we streamed it live And we streamed live On Tyrant TV For everyone to see

What Now 01:05

I can’t go home, I can’t go home, I can’t go home I’m only left to Roam I can’t go home, I can’t go home, I can’t go home I’m left here to Roam I walk a lonely road, I’m on overload We really did it now I just want to be left alone keep moving forward but I always watch my back All these snakes in the grass gotcha movin off track People say these things regardless of the pain They spread confusion freely. That's the killers In the game. All these years & weeks Got me feelin weak Like I’m down & beat Cuz I never sleep A soldier in a war lost and all  alone Fights for his LIFE not for your platform. I had to get away So I can see the thread That you just wanna pull Until my will is dead Every single time we Make it out the trenches We crawling over bodies Running from the stenches I have my own war to fight But I've been fighting yours. I have to fight for me right now I'm closing all the doors. I can’t go home, I can’t go home, I can’t go home I’m only left to Roam I can’t go home, I can’t go home, I can’t go home I’m left here to Roam I used to have everything that I thought I needed I used to have a home but things just seem misleading Now I just roam , I’m goin where I feel it But mostly feel alone. Pictures are misleading I try to find the things I can then start again  You don't deserve the pain from the state that I’ve been in. I know there's no happy endings. Only time will tell  If there is a heaven cuz I know there is a hell. I can’t go home, I can’t go home, I can’t go home I’m only left to Roam I can’t go home, I can’t go home, I can’t go home I’m left here to Roam

For what it’s worth You brought him down The tyrant his cabinet And all the fucking clowns You didn’t want fame or glory Hell you didn’t even give your name Now you’re leaving So that you can find peace From what you burned down For what it’s worth It’s a brand new day For what it’s worth When people are having shit their way Everything you did will change the world Until the next snake moves in and you heard You know what to do Until then be you be you be you be you For what it’s worth I gave it all I got For what it’s worth I knew we had a shot For what it’s worth We brought him to another place For what it’s worth His name will go down in disgrace I walk alone from the darkness Away from the heartless I don’t even know what to make of the hardest Time of my life, but I’m feeling alright I could always walk away shrouded by night But the tyrant brought it on himself we put em on the shelf With the strength of the resistance He’ll be rotting in a cell Absolute power corrupts absolutely So we put you into the ground where the fools be If you are one of us You ain’t takin no shit Cuz u got out the box It showed you how to Live You got your life right Made it on your own You don’t need anyone to show you where to go I’m just the messenger My strength is always tested I’m just the messenger My strength is always tested But I’m just the messenger My strength is always tested I’m just the messenger My strength is always tested For what it’s worth I gave it all I got For what it’s worth I knew we had a shot For what it’s worth We brought him to another place For what it’s worth His name will go down in disgrace For what it’s worth It’s a brand new day For what it’s worth When people are having shit their way Everything you did will change the world Until the next snake moves in and you heard You know what to do Until then be you be you
