    Yeah people come up
    
    Yeah, we better turn tha bass up on this one
    Check it, since 1516 minds attacked and overseen
    Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream
    Wit their borders and boots on top of us
    Pullin' knobs on the floor of their toxic metropolis
    But how you gonna get what you need ta get?
    Tha gut eaters, blood drenched get offensive like Tet
    Tha fifth sun sets get back reclaim
    Tha spirit of Cuahtemoc alive an untamed
    Now face tha funk now blastin' out ya speaker
    On the one Maya, Mexica
    That vulture came ta try and steal ya name
    But now you got a gun, yeah this is for the people of the sun

    Ya spine cracked for tobacco, oh I'm the Marlboro man, uh
    Our past blastin' on through the verses
    Brigades of taxi cabs rollin' Broadway like hearses
    Troops strippin' zoots, shots of red mist
    Sailors blood on tha deck, come sister resist
    From tha era of terror check this photo lens
    Now tha city of angels does the ethnic cleanse
    Uh, heads bobbin' to that funk out ya speaker, on the one Maya, Mexica
    That vulture came to try and steal ya name
    But now you found a gun, you're history, this is for the people of the sun

    Bulls on parade
    Come wit it now!
    Come wit it now!
    The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
    Either drop tha hits like de la O or get tha fuck off tha commode
    Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop
    Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-opt
    Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons
    That five sided fist-a-gon
    Tha rotten sore on tha face of mother earth gets bigger
    Tha triggers cold empty ya purse
    
    Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
    They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
    They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
    They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
    
    Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes
    Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal
    I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library
    Line up to tha mind cemetary now
    What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin'
    They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em
    While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells
    Rally round tha family, pockets full of shells
    
    Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
    They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells
    They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells

    Turn it off, fear is your only god
    On tha radio, nah fuck it

    Slagin' nerve gas
    
    Up jump tha boogie then bang,
    Let'em hang
    While tha paranoid try ta stuff tha void
    Let's capture this am mayhem
    
    Undressed, and blessed by the lord
    Tha power pedulum swings by tha umbillical cord
    Shock around the clock
    From noon 'til noon
    Men grabbin' they mics 
    And stuff 'em into tha womb
    
    Terror tha product ya push
    Well i'm a truth addict
    Oh shit I gotta head rush
    Tha sheep tremble an here come tha votes
    Thrown from tha throat, new cages an scapegoats
    Undressed and blesses by tha lord
    Tha same devil that run around Managua wit a sword
    
    Check tha new style that Ollie found
    I tune in wit a bullet ta shut down
    Tha devil sound
    Tha program of vietnow
    Flex tha cerebellum
    Fire
    Somebody gotta shell 'em
    
    Those evil angels lists, hittin' tha am
    Playlist, paid ta say this
    That one inhuman, illegal, single woman
    Tha one wit out a room
    
    The transmission wippin' our backs
    Comin' down like bats from stacy coon
    Terror tha product ya push
    Well i'm a truth addict, oh shit I got a head rush
    Tha sheep tremble an here come tha votes
    Throw from tha throat, new cages and scapegoats

    Shutdown tha devil sound
    Check tha heads bow in vietnow

    Revolver
    His spit is worth more than her work
    Pass the purse to the pugilists
    He's a prizefighter
    He bought rings and he owns kin
    And now he's swingin'
    And now he's the champion
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver
    
    A spotless domain
    Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more
    Pictures of fields without fences
    A spotless domain
    Hides festering hopes she's certain there's more
    Pictures of fields without fences
    Her body numbs as he approaches the door
    As he approaches the door
    As he approaches the door
    As he approaches the door
    As he approaches
    Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
    Revolver!

    Snakecharmer
    Satellites and, pair of mirrors and, and a man without a home
    With a horse, and a rider, and a clever, cunning killer
    Silent in error and vocal in spotlights
    Lying always sucking on a bottle of, that sweet, indulgent fluid
    Oh greed oh yes oh greed oh yes!
    Oh greed oh yes
    Yeah!
    Yeah!  (Left channel - 26 years in this stage
    Yeah!                  you're 26 years in this stage)
    Yeah!
    Your frienship is a fog
    That disappears when the wind redirects
    You!
    Yes you!
    
    (Guitar solo)
    
    Father's expectations, soul soaked in, spit and urine
    And you gotta make it where?
    To a sanctuary that's a fragile American hell
    An empty dream
    A selfish, horrific vision
    Passed on like the deadliest of viruses
    Crushing you and your naive profession
    Have no illusions boy
    Vomit all ideals and serve
    Sleep and wake and serve
    And don't think just wake and serve
    Yeah!
    Yeah! (Left channel - 26 years in this stage
    Yeah!                 you're 26 years in this stage)
    Yeah!
    Your frienship is a fog
    That disappears when the wind redirects
    You! Interested in you, interested in you
    Interested in you, interested in you (to end)
    


    Tire me
    Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me

    Of roll that film she's a precious, a preciOf roll that film she's a precious, a precious one
    But we're all gonna......nah we're already dead!
    We're already dead!
    
    And those colorful words for tha Laos frontiers-man
    Who passed away with the truth
    Amidst the eulogies of bliss
    Who will know now what I know about you?
    Now that history's a flowery cancerous mess
    Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me
    A mess!
    Overbearing yes ya tryin' ta tire me

    Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me

    Down rodeo
    Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    These people ain't seen a brown skin man
    Since their grandparents bought one
    
    So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    These people ain't seen a brown skin man
    Since their grandparents bought one
    
    So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    
    Bangin' this bolo tight on this solo flight can't fight alone
    Funk tha track my verbs fly like tha family stone
    Tha pen devils set that stage for tha war at home
    Locked wit out a wage ya standin' in tha drop zone
    The clockers born starin' at an empty plate
    Momma's torn hands cover her sunken face
    We hungry but them belly full
    The structure is set ya neva change it with a ballot pull
    In tha ruins there's a network for tha toxic rock
    School yard ta precinct, suburb ta project block
    Bosses broke south for new flesh and a factory floor
    The remains left chained to the powder war
    
    Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
    So make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
    Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
    So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    These people ain't seen a brown skin man
    Since their grandparents bought one
    
    Yes I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    These people ain't seen a brown skin man
    Since their grandparents bought one
    
    So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    
    (Guitar solo)
    
    Bare witness to tha sickest shot while suckas get romantic
    They ain't gonna send us campin' like they did my man Fred Hampton
    Still we lampin' still clockin' dirt for our sweat
    A ballots dead so a bullet's what I get
    A thousand years they had tha tools
    We should be takin' 'em
    Fuck tha G-ride I want the machines that are makin' em
    Our target straight wit a room full of armed pawn to
    Off tha kings out tha west side at dawn
    
    Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
    Make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
    Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
    So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    These people ain't seen a brown skin man
    Since their grandparents bought one
    
    Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    These people ain't seen a brown skin man
    Since their grandparents bought one
    
    Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo wit a shotgun
    
    The rungs torn from the ladder can't reach the tumour
    One god, one market, one truth, one consumer
    
    Just a quiet peaceful dance!
    Just a quiet peaceful dance!
    Just a quiet peaceful dance!
    Just a quiet peaceful dance!
    Just a quiet peaceful dance for the things we'll never have
    Just a quiet peaceful dance for the things we don't have
    


    Without a face
    Got no card so I got no soul 
    Life is prison no parole 
    No control
    
    Tha jura got my number on a wire tap
    Cause I jack for Similac
    Fuck a Cadillac to survive 
    
    One motive no hope
    Cause every sidewalk
    I walk is like a tightrope
    
    Yes I know my deadline sire
    It's when my life expires
    So i'm sendin' paper South under tha barbed wire
    
    Tha mother of my child will lose her mind at my grave
    It's my life for their life
    So call it a free trade
    "for vida" and our name up on tha stall
    I took a death trip
    When I tried ta cross tha white wall
    
    Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates
    Born without a face
    One motive no hope
    Born without a face
    
    Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates
    Born without a face
    One motive no hope
    Born without a face
    
    Without a face
    
    I tried ta look back ta my past long lost
    A blood donor ta tha land owner holocaust
    Pops heart stopped
    In came tha air drop
    Flooded tha trench 
    He couldn't shake tha toxic shock
    
    Maize we all we needed to sustain
    Now her golden skin burns
    Insecticide rain
    Ya down wit ddt 
    Yeah you know me 
    Raped for tha grapes 
    Profit for tha bourgois
    
    War tape boomin'
    Path is luminoso 
    I'm headed north like my name was Kid Cisco
    To survive
    
    One motive no hope
    It's hard ta breathe wit Wilson's hand around my throat
    Strangled and mangled
    Another SS curtain call 
    When I tried ta cross tha white wall
    
    Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates
    Born without a face
    One motive no hope
    Born without a face
    
    Walk unseen past tha graves an tha gates
    Born without a face
    One motive no hope
    Born without a face
    
    You say fortify

    Wind below
    Flip this capital eclipse
    Tha vocal tone has got'em sweatin their own Apocalypse
    
    Yes, tha rebles of tha grains stand masterless
    Tha masked ones cap one
    NAFTA, hit me with a new disaster
    
    And yes we in wit tha wind
    And tha Plan de Ayala kin
    Comin' back around again
    
    Tha slave driver saliva
    One night power turns
    Them devils mouth's dry
    Mexico burns
    
    Here they come
    One by one 
    The killers of the new frontier
    Occupy
    Causing fear
    
    With the wind below
    If we die
    You know we die one ??? come on
    
    It is the wind below
    If we die
    You know we die one ??? come on
    
    We in wit the wind below
    
    Flip this capital eclipse
    Them bury life wit IMF shifts
    And poison lips
    Yo they talk it
    While slicin' our veins
    So mark it
    From tha fincas, overseers, to them
    Vultures payin' markets
    
    She ain't got nothin' but weapon and shawl
    She is Chol, Tzotzil, Tojolobal, Tzelta
    The tools are her tools
    Ejidos and ovaries
    
    She once suffocated
    Now through a barrel she breathes
    
    She is the wind below
    We in wit the wind below
    She is the wind below
    
    All the shareholders gonna flex
    And try ta annex the truth
    
    While the new trust gonna flex
    And cast their image in you
    
    G.E. is gonna flex
    And try and annex the truth
    NBC is gonna flex and cast their image in you
    
    Disney brought the fantasies and piles of eyes
    And ABC's new thrill rides of trials and lies
    
    And while the gut eaters strain to pull the mud from their mouths
    They force our ears to go deaf to the screams in the south
    


    Roll right
    Lick off the shot
    my stories shock ya like Ellison
    Main line adrenaline Gaza to Tienanmen
    From the basement I'm dwellin' in
    
    I cock back the sling
    To stone a settler 
    And break him off clean
    Call me the upsetter
    
    Here come the hands on the leashes
    The cross, the Capitol, the pale families
    The fear and the mouthpieces
    
    The single sista lynch
    The cell doors crash
    And the master's drum echo
    Echo
    
    Roll right
    Roll call
    Now we're alrigh
    We're all calm
    
    This hits like fists
    Bomb with the left and don't miss
    With the sickest stilo
    I spark fear in the pigs
    In the park
    
    Head crack
    I hijack the papers and the vapors
    Caught fire up in our mind
    Come back
    Rewind one time
    
    Here come the hands on the leashes
    The cross, the capital, the pale families
    The fear and the mouthpieces
    
    The single sista lynch
    The cell door crash
    And the master's drums echo
    Echo
    
    Roll right
    Roll call
    Now we're alright
    We're all calm
    


    Year of tha boomerang
    The sistas are in so check the front line
    Seems I spent the 80's in a Haiti state of mind
    Cast me in the back just for electro shock
    Trade incarcerated, curriculum's a cell block
    Swimming in half truths makes me want to spit
    It's time to come separate the healthy from the sick
    Rate me on a scale
    I'm smellin' burnt skin
    It's dark now it's black out and I'm screaming from within
    'Cos I'm still locked in the back rooms of the right
    Enslaved by dogma
    Talk about my birth right
    Instead at every turn I'm running into hell's gate
    So I grip the cannon like Fiona passed the shell to my classmate
    
    (Aww...power to the people!...)
    Bosses right to live is mine to die
    So I'm throwin' heavy sorta like Mao Thai
    With the five centuries of penitenturies
    So let the guilty hang...in the year of the boomerang!
    
    I've got no property but yo I'm a piece of it
    So let the guilty hang
    I've got no property but yo I'm a piece of it
    In the year of the boomerang
    
    I've got no property but yo I'm a piece of it
    So let the guilty hang
    I've got no property but yo I'm a piece of it
    In the year of the boomerang
