Stay strapped! Fuck the government, and everyone who hates that
Can get the hell out my face, like ASAP I don't wanna hear your bullshit, stay back - way back
& Fuck the rich, 'cuz they probably made that money from a slave's back
Y'all better be expecting payback, blah! blah! I wonder if they heard me say that?

This life is a cage match you see there's no holds barred,
But you better be expecting the same back yeah let's go roll those cars
'Cuz a motherlover is running out of patience about to get a gat & spray caps
At every sexist & racist, queer bashing motherlover, [I] got a bullet for your snake ass

My flag remains black, fuck the mega corporations, their insane pact
With the devil has us all upon the same path to annihilation planetwide, no cracka, homie don't play dat,
Trying to find the solution, like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack,
Like I'm colorblind trying to make stained glass, what we need is revolution!

Plain wrath unleashed by the people taking aim at
The whole structure of oppression at it's foundations with a force that's similar to when two tectonic plates crash
Now I may slap the grin off your face cuz I'm way mad
& the only way I know how to change that is a message in a bottle with a fuse lit going bang, blow!

[Chorus]
I'm letting you know that I am on my way
(watch out!) Sleep with one eye open
I'm letting you know that I am on my way
(watch out!) Sleep with one eye open

You see my main task is make sure y'all don't stay pass-ive,
Wake up, motherlovers hey asshole, no half steppers here, yeah you're not gone change that,
There ain't no day pass in the movement you're not getting paid cash
Just a faint chance that we avert apocalypse, so instead of just working on stagecraft,

Like if you gon break dance, teach others to use their body as a weapon
Of if you dig crates of wax, you can spin hip-hop that's anti-sexist
Every time that you out spray graff, you can hopefully teach somebody a lesson
If you're like me, you slay raps, you make sure to rock and kick that fresh shit

No matter what it takes, if I end up in a cage, I have no illusions
If I'm splattered with a gauge, the pattern is the same, we've been sold delusions
I saw capital & state, in a matrimony, hey, no doubt the coldest fusion
Soul shattered out of rage, if we're ever gonna change, we need a bold solution

We must know that that dissent is the only sane path
The forces that we now face are tenacious
Why you sleeping? there's no time to lay back
Oh yeah I forgot, it's about time I say that

[Chorus]
