2. DARKNESS OF GREED

Greed!
Causing innocent blood to flow
Entire culture, lost in the overthrow
They came to seize and take whatever they please
Then all they gave back was death and disease
My people were left with no choice but to decide
To conform to a system, responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide...

'Aids is killing the entire African nation
And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation
But these governments they don't mind the procrastination
They say
"We'll kill them off,
Take their land
And go there for vaction."'

My people's culture was strong, it was pure
And if not for that white greed
It would've endured
My people were left with no choice but to decide
To conform to a system
Their minds enslaved
Their souls encaged
I feel the rage
It's brutality can never be undone
But the sun is not yet set
The bass and drums and microphones a threat
That's when ya investigate the crimes from the inside
And see that they're responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide...

Ya cram ya culture down my throat
Say i'm inferior when i find that i choke
Ya fill my mind with a false sense of history
And then you wonder why i have no identity?
Well i'll strike a match and it'll catch and
Spread the insight we need
A tiny fire, burning bright
Shedding light on the darkness of greed

A yes yes y'all
And ya don't stop
Shedding light on the darkness of greed

A yes yes y'all
And ya don't stop
Shedding light on the darkness of greed


3. CLEAR THE LANE

Hey yo!
Let me be front
This is real and not a stunt
I'm comin' to the forefront
Shovel for the rapper and clear the lane
'Cos this jam is like a tomahawk chop
Teach ya i'll never stop droppin' topics
Vocal power?
(A)yes i got it
On central but their trying to clamp it down
Flag was waving the wrong way so i shot it...down!
Get down, and at the same time...
Come up...down!
This is a crime that shut us up
I don't give a fuck
'Cos the words and the thoughts still hit
And like i said
It's not a skit
Jump another hit
Yeah
Ya know i don't need a drum kit
Make 'em say awwww shit!
The rebellion is true and legit

Down! get down!...and clear the lane
Down! get down!...and clear the lane
Down! get down!...and clear the land
Down! get down!...yeah!

The rebel
You'll never disable
Defiance
With the cards upon the table
Pulling cards
Keep the governements in check
Yo!
I think we need a new deck
Never could trust a phillabusta'
The mic is like a fist and it'll bust ya
With words cold hittin' with the underground
And now you're checkin' out the new sound
Live hit
A live pop
Live rock
And ya don't stop
It goes on and on and on
Who's a threat?
C'mon, the war is on!

Down! get down!...and clear the lane
Down! get down!...and clear the lane
Down! get down!...and clear the lane
Down! get down!...and clear the lane

Start droppin'
Our words are never safe
Fighting myself
'Till i'm where i gotta be
I challange, don't sweat it
Now don't you forget it
Check me? what? wait
You better slow down!
Realize i can't confine my rhyme to a beat
I need cash so when i'm cool i'm never ever weak
Places are fluid and diluted and complete
Check me once, calm down and take a seat
Strip the chains the freedom's there but then it's gone!

Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane

Defiance
Rippin' up the south set
Every time i'm grippin' the mic it is a sound threat
Resist against the suckers that bring the bass in
Timmy c
Bring that bass in!

Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
