Yeah it would be cool it could be too
   Stop Running round in circles off of what we fuel
   Living a lie eventually believing it's true
   A lot of people here for us one could be you
   It's outrageous and they just ain't nothing
   But save us an ocean of brown fists in various flavors
   A favor for a favor man, this is the majors
   Tell me what you would do with no phone or pagers
   No Kinko's, no Fed Ex and no ATM's
   What you gone do when the poliece state vegin
   Well it already began but I guess it depends on what's really going on
   what's happening, huh
   Military target practicing
   They finna write another patriot act again
   The days is short the nights is long
   The fight goes on
   The pistol and the pipes are drawn
  
   [Hook:]
   The middle of the night
   We fight like barbarians
   In sight of the former might
   You might think that it's a waste
   Of our time
   And I think you would be right
   Till he drop that rhyme
   [Repeat]
  
   And some might say that it's a waste of time
   Cause ain't no amount of dancing finna break the bondage
   We go to war and transcend space and time
   When every record ain't a record just to shake behinds
   You know the stakes is high we in the face of drama
   That's why we can't shake it or escape the problem
   Its like a game of roulette the barrel revolving
   They only wanna see us occupying a coffin
   Mothers crying too often from they lost child leaving
   From trying to get over, get under, get even
   Get inside getting, getting dumped, getting greedy
   We got to get it right
   It ain't about to be easy
   You better pull you goggles up, it's about to get greasy
   Believe it's on as long as we can still speak freely
   Pages of my life would make it hard to read me
   I know my people hearing me, holler it you hear me
  
   [Repeat Hook]
