Lyrics

feel the funk blast,
feel the funk blast,
FEEL THE FUNK BLAST,
a yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo, check it out yo-yo-yo
I be walkin god like a dog
My narrative fearless
Word war returns to burn
Like Baldwin home from Paris, Uh
Like steel from a furnace
I was born landless
Yes its tha native son
Born of Zapatas guns
Stroll through the shanties
And tha cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry
But with different last names
The vultures robbin everything
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point on the globe
Yes tha pictures tha same
Theres a bank, theres a church, a myth and a hearse
A mall and a loan, a child dead at birth
Theres a widow pig parrot
A rebel to tame
A whitehooded judge
A syringe and a vein
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

What ya say? What ya say? What ya say? What? (x4)
Calm like a bomb
(ignite ignite ignite ignite ignite ignite)

This aint subliminal
Feel the critical mass approach horizon
Tha pulse of the condemned
Sound off Americas demise
Tha anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Yes I spit fire
Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires
Yes back through tha shanties and tha cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry, uh-huh
With different last names, uh-huh
The vultures robbin everyone
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point here at home
Yes the pictures tha same
Theres a field full of slaves
Some corn and some debt
Theres a ditch full of bodies
Tha check for the rent
Theres a tap, tha phone, tha silence of stone
The numb black screen
That be feelin like home
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

What ya say? What ya say? What ya say? What?(x4)
Calm like a bomb
(ignite ignite ignite ignite ignite ignite)

There's a mass without roofs
There's a prison to fill
There's a countrys soul that reads post no bills
There's a strike and a line of cops outside of tha mill
There's a right to obey
And a right to kill

There's a mass without roofs
There's a prison to fill
There's a countrys soul that reads post no bills
There's a strike and a line of cops outside of tha mill
There's a right to obey
And there's a right to kill!

[catbuffalo]

Down with all currency.

Hello.... where'd everybody go?

[Brian Hayek]

P.S. You can ignore reality but u wont be able to ignore the consequences of ignoring reality. The united states is a ponzi scheme from bonds to entitlements and will crumble.

[Brian Hayek]

"We have a free market that is not controlled or owned by the government." So the federal reserve which has its chairman appointed by the president is not controlling the market with 0.25% fed funds rate and 85 billion dollars of cyber fiat currency being created to buy mortgage and treasury bonds? In the last 365 days home prices have gone up almost 10%. What is happening should clearly show the fed is 2 blame for the business cycle. You're so wrong its not even funny.

[whiro77]

I beg to differ. We have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press etc. We have a free market that is not controlled or owned by the government. A president is elected, not born into power, and can only serve 2 terms. Anyone can run for office. Our president does not have complete power, every decision has to be sent through the different branches before being approved by the president. Yeah, I'd say America is still a free country. We're certainly not 'enslaved'.

[Brian Hayek]

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. It blows my mind people r still dumb enough to think this is a free country but it is also shocking people buy into the "recovery". Creating trillions of dollars of cyber fiat currency and injecting it into the economy is not recovery. Its a heroin addict feeling relief they got more heroin. Sooner or later the world has 2 throw in the towel on the US. Sovereign debt and currency crisis is the direction we sail.

[whiro77]

I still don't see our government crumbling anytime soon. But if you want to believe that, fine, America is a free country.
