 Verse:
 I am convinced that this is guitar with another weird effect, due to the 
 fact that all sounds on this album are made by guitar, bass, drums, and 
 vocals.

 Lyrics:
 So now I'm Rolling  down rodeo with a shotgun
 These people ain't seen a brown skin man since their grandparents
 bought one
 
 VERSE:
 Bangin' this bolo tight on this solo flight can't fight alone 
 Funk the track my verbs fly like the family stone
 The pen devils set the stage for the war at home
 Locked without a wage ya standin' in the drop zone
 The clockers born staring at an empty plate
 Momma's torn hands cover her sunken face
 We hungry but them belly full
 The structure is set ya never change it with a ballot pull
 In the ruins there's a network for the toxic rock
 School yard precinct, suburb to project block
 Bosses broke south for new flesh and a factory floor
 The remains left chained to the powder war
 
 CHORUS:
 Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
 So make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
 Can't waste the dy when the night brings a hearse
 So now I'm rolling down rodeo with a shotgun, these people ain't seen a 
 brown skin man since their grand parents bought one
 
 VERSE 2:
 Bare witness to the sickest shot wwhile suckas get romantic 
 They ain't gonna send us camping like they did my man Fred Hampton
 Still we lamping still clocking dirt for our sweat
 A ballots dead so bullets what I get
 A thousand years you had the tools we should be taking 'em  
 Fuck the G ride I want the machines that are making them
 Our target straight aheadwith a room full of armed pawn to
 Off the Kings out the west side at dawn
 
 LAST PART:
 The rungs torn form the ladder can't reach the tumor
 One God, one market, one truth, one consumer
 Just a quiet and peeceful dance for things we'll never have
