Bamboo - Alpha Beta Omega lyrics

rate me

Search and you'll define the sky between the lines<br />

I could never tell truth from victim escape's a tired line<br />

Knock knock, something's creeping<br />

Laying down the land smear on the wicked<br />

Now if you're ready to bleed<br />

Turn your head, turn your head, from the right, follow me<br />

Give chase to my shadows disarmed with a whisper<br />

No gun in my hand whatever happened to honor brother<br />

Fight me man-to-man, look me in the eye, I've got a family to feed<br />

Will I learn from this? What can you teach me?<br />

It's out of control, the times are crazy<br />

We don't care who sits on the throne, doesn't matter to most of us<br />

Just don't mess with the status quo<br />

Lies paint my picture everyday<br />

Every stone's been thrown<br />

Lay siege to my kingdom, my cover's blown<br />

Your blind dealing with death<br />

Every dollar, a headstone<br />

Where the rich get richer, the poor just multiply<br />

That's smart, divide and conquer<br />

I keep 'em entertained while you steal their hard earned mule<br />

Was there ever a time we dreamed for something better?<br />

Right now sounds real good but your telling me to wait for fairer weather<br />

<br />

Let it rain, fire from the sky<br />

Heaven help us (do you truly believe?)<br />

Only the strong should survive<br />

With permission, I make this my personal mission<br />

Save me from the fire<br />

<br />

Yes sir, yes ma'am, I get the picture<br />

We educate the masses whose gonna be cooking our dinners<br />

Such a waste of time thinking we have to raise our own sons and daughters when you can pay below the minimum<br />

Shoot that man, may I follow up that order<br />

But all this talk don't come cheap<br />

We all know what has to be done<br />

Our very own personal revolution<br />

Revolution revolution revolution<br />

Revolution revolution<br />

Revolution revolution<br />

<br />

Let it rain, fire from the sky<br />

Heaven help us (do you truly believe?)<br />

Only the strong should survive<br />

With permission, I make this my personal mission<br />

Save me from the fire<br />

<br />

Now here you come walking into my part of town<br />

Telling people you have such a solution<br />

Quick fix, you got a story<br />

Boy meets girl, stop, they have kids<br />

Poppa works while 'ma raises the ten babies<br />

She's praying every night that they'll one day hit the jackpot<br />

Nine lucky numbers win the lottery, a million gets me out of this hole<br />

But when the well dries up, oh, where do I go?<br />

Little Pablo doesn't even know how to read or write<br />

I'm starving sweet Ana so I can get a good price for her<br />

2 down 8 to go, oh wait, he's got good skin tone, <br />

Got nice smile, an accent, but kinda smells though<br />

So where do you think you're going talking that kind of talk<br />

That doesn't happen, not on my watch, no, that doesn't happen<br />

I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls<br />

Let's give 'em a fighting chance and see where this all goes<br />

I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls<br />

If I don't do anything let's see where this all goes<br />

I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls<br />

They got front row seats, don't tell me they know<br />

I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls<br />

They don't need your donation, what about education<br />

I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls<br />

No amount of praying's gonna change their woes<br />

<br />

Let it rain, fire from the sky<br />

Heaven help us (do you truly believe?)<br />

Only the strong should survive<br />

With permission, I make this my personal mission<br />

Save me from the fire</
