VERSE 1 (Tyler Durdin)
In their eyes you ain't nuttin but a castaway
They keep us starvin all day until we pass away
While the suits in the green be the last to pay
There ain’t no space up in the paint but I'll blast a J
Where we headed I can bet it ain't a faster way
Just call the hawk in the sky with the blaster ray
Hey hey you all made it to the masquerade
Better set your alarm this is Ration Day
Put a lock on the boards get your ass in the lane
While they buildin a wall we be crashin the gate
Now the dogs on the loose, the cats on the stray
Tear the bars out the roots and the cracks out the clay
It's a dang... shame... we can't behave
(Bang bang) another body in a factory cage
Too sedated to deflate it so we pass the blame
No account… ability… no path to change
There’s no path to peace when you ain’t past the rage
There’s no pass to reach if you ain’t ass to face (wait)
They underpay us then they track they slaves
Sic the wolves on the sheep and they tax yer grain
Grab ahold of your keys take yer snacks and change
Let the trolls off the leash while they craft they’re maze
They debate it til we latched ta chains
With more Links to the past than the Master blade
REFRAIN (Cash The PRO)
It’s all gonna crash
They only give us scraps
Power to the people if they in the upper class
They school us when we mass
We pray to make it last
Cause ain’t no runnin back
And you don’t get a pass
‘Nother score for the beast as we war on the streets
No flags to be raised just a sword in defeat
Ignore your beliefs, can’t afford to repeat
Or afford to just eat while they order up…
Feast
HOOK (Deacon The Villain)
You can’t just throw it all away (No)
You can’t just burn it down
We all lookin’ for a better way, a better way, a better way
To cover lost ground
VERSE 2 (Deacon The Villain)
How do we get man to act right?
We need George Clinton and his flashlight
Miss America we lookin’ for your soul
If you ever had one where did it go?
Rhetorical question, you lack the primordial essence
That would ever put the truth in a historical question
Why? Textbooks still tellin’ lies
Education kills ignorance but who the hell am I?
Alternative facts, yeah we know the M.O.
No liberty, no justice, no peace for my kinfolk
Info the long haul though, sled dog flow
Pushin’ through these snow white roads like Iditarod roads
We supposed to stay froze in time
Pledgin’ allegiance to this legion that controls my climb
Shit, long as brain holds my mind I’m gonna confront America online
I’m in this bitch tryin’ ta…
HOOK (Deacon The Villain)
You can’t just throw it all away (No)
You can’t just burn it down
We all lookin’ for a better way, a better way, a better way
To cover lost ground
VERSE 3 (Cash The PRO)
This is not a game but they yellin’ monopoly
And we don’t stand a chance while they just hoardin’ the property
Gaze on the towers of the aristocracy
Who convinced you what’s stoppin’ me is that I don’t talk properly
We ungrateful for what they got for me or we constantly
Complaining that they not explainin’ reasons they shot at me
And we should accept the hierarchy as honesty
But now we vomiting the lies they fed and rose back up as anarchy
Lord protect my family, seems cool
In a kingdom where foolishness is king and a king fools
And to leave this fate to my children may seem cruel
But survival is the only true religion up in my gene pool
And I'm the worse adversary possible
A nigga with a vocabulary hostile to anyone that's an obstacle
To how my profits move
All I got for you is a hospital or a plot for you
Cause it's illogical to think you could deny us
And it wouldn't ignite us to spark riots and fires
Cause the truth exposes liars what's below just brought us higher
Can't keep out what lurks inside us, it's sheep that turned to fighters
REFRAIN (Cash The PRO)
It’s all gonna crash
They only give us scraps
Power to the people if they in the upper class
They school us when we mass
We pray to make it last
Cause ain’t no runnin back
And you don’t get a pass
‘Nother score for the beast as we war on the streets
No flags to be raised just a sword in defeat
Ignore your beliefs, can’t afford to repeat
Or afford to just eat while they order up…
Feast
HOOK (Deacon The Villain)
You can’t just throw it all away (No)
You can’t just burn it down
We all lookin’ for a better way, a better way, a better way
To cover lost ground
