Bamboo - Alpha Beta Omega lyrics
rate meSearch 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</
