lyrics

First they come for the terrorists, but that's aight cause I'm not a terrorist.
Then they'll come for the anarchists, but that's aight cause I'm really not anarchist.
Then they'll come for the dissident. Y'all still not listening.
When they come for you, what you gonna do?

Yo, it's four in the morning.
We need to wake up now.
The cops are at the door.
They bout to raid the house.
Don't say we gave no warning -
every prophet shouted loud.
If you had been watching you'd not be shocked how it's going down.
You need to get up off the floor.
Go on and grab your clothes.
Drop the pack of smokes.
Hurry up, we need to hit the road.
Let's use the window.
Get the keys to the truck.
If you can't then we'll walk and and we'll jog and we'll run.
We knew this day would come like an oracle.
We're stunned? This is horrible.
Look, man - everybody got a gun.
But it ain't everyone with tanks, it ain't everyone with planes,
it ain't everyone with banks, boy, are you insane?
That's what we trained for.
The way we play makes work fun. Now it's wage war or bust,
so take what you want to take quick cause they coming.
I'ma drop the bombs right here and stop stalling.

CHORUS:
When it's four in the morning and the cops are coming for ya,
at your door banging, are you for ready for em?
When it's four in the morning, there's no argument.
All I ask is, are we strong enough?

Here's a tip for those trapped in the Matrix:
every time you see an agent you better better run fast,
cause I been tryna stop bullets but I can't seem to master it,
so I just dip when that gun claps.
I be so gone y'all think I'm a race;
actually, I'm really only not tryna live in chains.
I'm riding sick dumb quick down the interstate.
It ain't my whip but the license plate's been replaced.
Desperate times call for desperate measures,
and in fact we all do have a choice to make.
It's fight or flight. Rewild Or Die.
I'm trying not to act paranoid or feel afraid,
but, sooner or later we'll all be back in the stone age.
It don't matter if we don't change.
So, go on, tell me what's important.
Cause I've been up and running since four in the morning.

(CHORUS)
