El-P - 2100 lyrics
[Verse 1: k**er Mike] How long before the hate that we hold Lead us to another Holocaust? Are we so deep in it that we can't end it? Stop, hold, ever call it off It's too clear, nuclear's too near And the holders of the molotov Say that "revolution's right here, right now" And they ain't callin' off [Verse 2: El-P] Wake up, roll an eighth up Throw a double finger with a fist Here at the abyss I will be your tour guide It is war time, check your wrists (Ready, kids?) Over to your right, shine a light Got a bevy ready for the fight I just wanna live, I don't wanna ever have to load a clip Only hunt bliss I am still a kid in my heart But these motherf**ers sick They don't give a sh**, not at all They don't even want to let you take a little piss in a pot Listen along They don't want your love, sh** is bugged Motherf**ers steady getting rich from the blood Love when you beg Trust, I would sooner put a puckered pair of lips to the sun Love will survive Run out under iridescent lights for our lives I will be surprised if we ever got the feeling so alive as tonight Wild for the night Look into my eyes I am standing at your side for the fight Minds over might Swear to God They could barely even see the dog They don't see the size of the fight [Verse 3: k**er Mike] Wake up Drink water Smoke blunt Clean, oil my Kaliashnikov Stockpile ten for me and friends in case sh** get to poppin' off The evening news givin' yous views Telling you to pick your master for president Then behind the curtain, seen the devil workin' Came back with some evidence I'm here to tell you don't let em tell you what's right wrong Make love, smoke kush, fight, or laugh hard, and live long That's the antidote You defeat the devil when you hold onto hope 'Cause kinfolk life is beautiful And we ain't gotta die for them other men And I refuse to k** another human being In the name of a government 'Cause I don't study war no more I don't hate the poor no more Gettin' more ain't what's more Only thing more is the love So when you see me Please greet me with a heart full And a pound and a hug [Hook: BOOTS] Save my swollen heart Bring me home from the dark Take me home, take me home, take me home Take me home, take me home, take me home [Bridge] Up, up, up Up, up Up, up, up, up, up, up [Verse 4: k**er Mike] Seen the devil give a sermon in the church Seen an angel dancing in the club Tryin' to feed a baby so I threw a thousand in the air And blessed her with a hug I done been down so many times Walked on like a dirty rug And now that I made it, can't fake it Gotta give me what I'm truly worthy of (Worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy) [Verse 5: EL-P] And I don't how much it really means to be right (Means to be right, means to be right) And what a joy it'd be to see some peace in this life (Peace in this life, peace in this life) And it occurs to me that maybe we ain't ever really seen any right Here in the dark Hoping just to see a beam of the light (Beam of the light, beam of the light) [Hook: BOOTS] Save my swollen heart Bring me home from the dark Take me home, take me home, take me home Take me home, take me home, take me home
