I swear to Mom if I had it all over to do
There's so many thing I'd handle differently
That's not different or original it's not even interesting
It's the same everything everybody feels but still
I like to dream that I'd stay diligent, committed
And militant, but listen more insistent to wisdom
From those who knew my mission shoulda been bigger
Instead of ignoring business, oblivious to the wind I was pissin' in
Instead of bitter trippin' just to hand the bills in
I'd have more time for activism better livin' and family a**istance
Instead of thousands might have got this word to a couple million
Strange famous taught me to fish
But I made the wrong decision every time that the fork split
Folks thought my first full length would be more political
But I been through war, my story is a miracle, and this is it
It's My Go!
Waited for so long can't take it anymore
It's My Go!
Pipe bomb in my chest, just about to blow
It's My Go!
I'ma set my record straight before I go
I learned to write early, learned to rap late
Fell in love with live music couldn't wait to earn a stage and play;
Took longer that I thought, I don't know what to say
It was everything I dreamed, also worse, naive
The slightest breeze can bring a touring band to its knees
It gets to where focus is less on the art that you bleed
And more just trying to catch what comes apart at the seam
Instead of looking deep in the wood to carve out the key
You row to keep your craft from goin' down in the sea
But that's life, that's love, activism, art, family
And anything worth fighting for
The beautiful dark nature of struggle
The gift of sunlight after the plight of the storm
Carry the torch, last bat 9th Inning;
Pipe bomb in my chest, fight the tide
Till the pound of my heart clock stop ticking
There's no summer out here in the days of the war
But the Red Sox are winning
Chorus
Life is an air raid, love is a battleship
Break the siege and dismantle the castle brick
Your slingshot heart is a talisman, keep it
Secret up your sleeve like a magic trick
Poetry pays my bills, music is investment
Shows 'n protests; battle ready road tested
Family is my light, the movement is my life's work
Til' d**h and you can put it on my headstone checklist
Bet me, weight of the world on my chest
But I don't bend, I bench press, wear it like a necklace;
Buried treasure, Earth First bike kid
I don't give a f** about Lexus
When there's women gettin' less pay for the same time
Hate crime, genocide in Palestine, drones in the sky
Millions doing prison time, it's a long term fight
As long as I'm alive, I'ma keep my guns in the sky
Chorus
