Roots - Guns Are Drawn lyrics
rate meYeah it would be cool it could be too<br />
Stop Running round in circles off of what we fuel<br />
Living a lie eventually believing it's true<br />
A lot of people here for us one could be you<br />
It's outrageous and they just ain't nothing<br />
But save us an ocean of brown fists in various flavors<br />
A favor for a favor man, this is the majors<br />
Tell me what you would do with no phone or pagers<br />
No Kinko's, no Fed Ex and no ATM's<br />
What you gone do when the poliece state vegin<br />
Well it already began but I guess it depends on what's really going on<br />
What's happening, huh<br />
Military target practicing<br />
They finna write another patriot act again<br />
The days is short the nights is long<br />
The fight goes on<br />
The pistol and the pipes are drawn<br />
<br />
[Hook:]<br />
The middle of the night<br />
We fight like barbarians<br />
In sight of the former might<br />
You might think that it's a waste<br />
Of our time<br />
And I think you would be right<br />
Till he drop that rhyme<br />
[Repeat]<br />
<br />
And some might say that it's a waste of time<br />
Cause ain't no amount of dancing finna break the bondage<br />
We go to war and transcend space and time<br />
When every record ain't a record just to shake behinds<br />
You know the stakes is high we in the face of drama<br />
That's why we can't shake it or escape the problem<br />
Its like a game of roulette the barrel revolving<br />
They only wanna see us occupying a coffin<br />
Mothers crying too often from they lost child leaving<br />
From trying to get over, get under, get even<br />
Get inside getting, getting dumped, getting greedy<br />
We got to get it right<br />
It ain't about to be easy<br />
You better pull you goggles up, it's about to get greasy<br />
Believe it's on as long as we can still speak freely<br />
Pages of my life would make it hard to read me<br />
I know my people hearing me, holler it you hear me<br />
<br />
[Repeat Hook]
