lyrics

as i interrupt your function
this is a Chief production
made in conjunction with Muggzy
people bug me with the question
'how is it you keep you competition second guessing at all times?'
every rhyme's unique
so we can't get a handle on the words you speak
The Word Association's classification
is classical slash radical grammatical terrorism
the full prism
a healthy dosage of knowledge and wisdom
understanding
there's a 10% that's planning to run things
without the authority of the majority
my priority now is educate the masses
and maybe over time we can climb out the trap
thoughts overlap and a pattern emerges
that's when the crew surges into action

get up, stand up, put a hand up
stick with me and we'll stick the man up
let's take it all back
the wool's been pulled too long and i ain't having that

most emcees spit fractions of fiction
i spit the facts with conviction
and intentions of damaging the foundations
where think tanks conjure up situations to make folks frantic
brave new tactics the top brass use
are at best gigantic insults to anyone with ears
apparently we won't take that after a number of years
and an election
which begs the question i'm asking
how is it that these greedy men stole our passion?
i can't believe i'm seeing the things i read about in fiction
placed in my jurisdiction
what's that?
they force fact into reality so deep they can't take it back
not that they could if they would
they rep us but wouldn't step foot in our neighborhood
short of looking down the barrel of a gun
why be mad?
that's just the way that things are done
now's a good time to tell your daughter or son
that a corporation is an illusion of one
illegal business controls America
cash rules everything around our hysteria
seems like before the government would take care of you
they'd bury you alive
and that's no jive

get up, stand up, put a hand up
stick with me and we'll stick the man up
let's take it all back
the wool's been pulled too long and i ain't having that

[ guest verse by Muggzy Flowz ]

get up, stand up, put a hand up
stick with me and we'll stick the man up
let's take it all back
the wool's been pulled too long and i ain't having that
