Ghosts 02:20
--GHOSTS-- We're going to let the rhythm hit em like Rakim did it Better take your shot, them cops ain't kidding (oh no) Fuck your political party, I'll vote for Bacardi Try to make a dent in the system they guarding Smoking fences and hedges in a stolen Lexus and crash it into the mansion of some company president I am never ever hesitant to step into the madness Call suspect status on the entire apparatus Cause the baddest motherfuckers are Intelligent ones Who can pick up all the pieces and discard irrelevant ones Can't call an air strike on climate change Before the stock market crashes start bombing with planes And while the world falls apart the economy gains Cause all the fixing and rebuilding means the rich getting paid Imma rearrange the frames and call a sucka 'sucka' Sucker punch and uppercut for fucking with the culture The vultures are overfed and sponsoring the marathon I care enough to raise a fist when they want us to carry on Empire for dummies, they been running the scams The worlds greatest pick pocket - The Invisible Hand Thieves can rob a bank if you give em a gun But give the thieves a bank and they can rob everyone We're lost but on a mission Last call or get thrown awake State of emergency, State of uncertainty I've stayed awake for days, overtaken with this urgency There's a certain sequence that cannot be ignored And a certain cost to sleeping that we cannot afford A Border ain't nothing but a line in the sand Law and order ain't nothing but gun of the man The door into the station where the cops command Water boarded, shot and tortured, fucker, put up your hands

Welcome 02:58
--WELCOME-- Welcome to the world we live in Death for all, wars, debts, and prisons Welcome to the world we live in Drugs for all, regret your children Like tracks of anthrax bring the noise, Like P.E did it, gotta raise your voice Got a razor point to the vein rejoice, up the GDP till the place destroyed Things we oppose don't go to votes. Musical chairs to the tune of hope Intelligence gathering, war's a go. Those Patriot missiles don't oppose There's going gap how the fuck we fix it? Lady Liberty's name ain't bridge it All those patches in activist fashion ain't going to fucking fill it Still cheaper to pay a wage in this day then to maintain a slave Trickle down, come on make it rain - ain't nothing free about this trade No one gives a fuck about Kardashians It's a distraction from the fact that the whole system is collapsing The news is just outrage du jour The wages of war so rarely make it to our shores I hate to state the obvious, but we backward hacked the process Moving in a circle is not equivalent to progress Step or step up, straight up break out of the mold Sometimes it's better not to do what you're told. The power to change the world lies in public opinion If they wanna win it, we CPR, to resuscitate they image That Protest was taste test for Dr. Pepper spray A parade of underpaid who celebrate the executive raise The detained on Vacay, Guantanamo bay watch with babes Durf water boarding, playing intel trivia games Distorted courts report of killing civilians the women and children were militant villains We'll kill their officials and missile their village for riches before they come get us You really think they'll let us steal the fire from the gods? We'll need guerrilla tactics and the will to test the odds They've kept us out of practice, blacklisted the rebellion Othered opposition and fact-twisted what we tell them They've got the guns but we've got the numbers Things are gonna get pretty hot this summer I used to run from the cops, but not this time When the bombs start to drop - watch - we're going to be the front line
