Blood! Soaked! Earth! That you call home! Blood! Soaked! Earth! That you call home!
Close your eyes but don’t sleep We comin’ like People’s Army For the people who can’t eat Who work with no sleep For the child with no shoes on their feet A generation who flash heat Roll up on banks for they cash, see You’re a criminal? You got the nerve to ask me Tear mics ’til my voice get raspy Faced flame for five centuries And if LA were Baghdad, we’d be Iraqi With our straps in the backseat next to a general Tied up with shit in his khakis
Best leave my mic alone, I’m full grown And I’m off to the green zone Best leave my mic alone, I’m full grown And I’m off to the green zone
After dark my city’s a fuse After dark my city’s a fuse One day I say today we live as a lion! After dark my city’s a fuse After dark my city’s a fuse One day I say today we live as a lion!
Blood! Soaked! Earth! That you call home!
Heard this cat got life in the pen Crossin’ sand in the back of a truck bed Twelve deep heard sirens and lights red Smacked on his dome with the club of a white Fed No food, no water, no rights read Came north to his seeds, and his wife fed In the middle of the darkest night bled Stepped to the law, said You a minuteman? Wait a minute man Talk like that might limit your life span
After dark my city’s a fuse One day I say today we live as a lion!
After dark my city’s a fuse After dark my city’s a fuse One day I say today we live as a lion!
And when our cubs grow We’ll show you what war is good for! [x6]
