Search and you'll define the sky between the lines I could never tell truth from victim escape's a tired line Knock knock, something's creeping Laying down the land smear on the wicked Now if you're ready to bleed Turn your head, turn your head, from the right, follow me Give chase to my shadows disarmed with a whisper No gun in my hand whatever happened to honor brother Fight me man-to-man, look me in the eye, I've got a family to feed Will I learn from this? What can you teach me? It's out of control, the times are crazy We don't care who sits on the throne, doesn't matter to most of us Just don't mess with the status quo Lies paint my picture everyday Every stone's been thrown Lay siege to my kingdom, my cover's blown Your blind dealing with d**h Every dollar, a headstone Where the rich get richer, the poor just multiply That's smart, divide and conquer I keep 'em entertained while you steal their hard earned mule Was there ever a time we dreamed for something better? Right now sounds real good but your telling me to wait for fairer weather Let it rain, fire from the sky Heaven help us (do you truly believe?) Only the strong should survive With permission, I make this my personal mission Save me from the fire Yes sir, yes ma'am, I get the picture We educate the ma**es whose gonna be cooking our dinners Such a waste of time thinking we have to raise our own sons and daughters when you can pay below the minimum Shoot that man, may I follow up that order But all this talk don't come cheap We all know what has to be done Our very own personal revolution Revolution revolution revolution Revolution revolution Revolution revolution Let it rain, fire from the sky Heaven help us (do you truly believe?) Only the strong should survive With permission, I make this my personal mission Save me from the fire Now here you come walking into my part of town Telling people you have such a solution Quick fix, you got a story Boy meets girl, stop, they have kids Poppa works while 'ma raises the ten babies She's praying every night that they'll one day hit the jackpot Nine lucky numbers win the lottery, a million gets me out of this hole But when the well dries up, oh, where do I go? Little Pablo doesn't even know how to read or write I'm starving sweet Ana so I can get a good price for her 2 down 8 to go, oh wait, he's got good skin tone, Got nice smile, an accent, but kinda smells though So where do you think you're going talking that kind of talk That doesn't happen, not on my watch, no, that doesn't happen I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls Let's give 'em a fighting chance and see where this all goes I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls If I don't do anything let's see where this all goes I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls They got front row seats, don't tell me they know I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls They don't need your donation, what about education I ask you all to bear witness to the rape of these young souls No amount of praying's gonna change their woes Let it rain, fire from the sky Heaven help us (do you truly believe?) Only the strong should survive With permission, I make this my personal mission Save me from the fire
