lyrics

(spoken)
it’s like… it’s… just don’t feel like I fit.
just don’t fit.
just don’t fit.
square…
just don’t fit, man.
it’s like that square…
it’s like that square cog,
it’s like that square cog in the machine, man.
just don’t fit.

square cog: when was i not stuck?
i started writing songs cause i got problems.
if all of them are nonsense, i'm all wet and washed up
but since i never set sail, I feel like i'm a failure, bud
i step on stage, i still tear it up
i’m spitting lyrics written by the spirits y’all just hearing what
god give me kicking non fiction raw shit you wanna listen
i'm fit to drop a bomb like obama on civilians
i'm pissed but i want peace get it straight
anarchist activist red and black like the tickertape
i get enraged by the lies that we're taught to teach
i know that pride never pays and that talk is cheap
these people praying for messiahs every day of their lives will probably die unsaved
the paper sway the priest
besides the wildness is pious it's heretical to trust the beast
you love leviathan i love the trees
that's why i'm tryna spray rhymes like a fire hydrant
cause i'd rather die fighting that live on my knees
it's a lot of obstacles that we gotta hop
that's why it's called the struggle
but let me tell what you want…

i want an audience that's mad as fuck
fist lifted to the sky cause they’re pissed about the damage that's done
then i’m gon rap like a catapult
lick shots at the oligarchs tell 'em that their hour is up

let me be blunt with it
we are being dumb shit heads
if the planet is an organism there is only one victim
we are conscripted by our culture for involvement in the global holocaust
that is not visible
it’s pitiful
come to think about it even if we did point the criminals out?
i’m unconvinced that we would convict 'em
although we’re all victims
they might be sick in the head but they are not villains
we’re all really on the same level
remain head above water
rat race getting paid cheddar
we live our lives tryna hunt success
it sucks yes but we know that we are gonna be dead
sooner or later so we why can’t trade our comfort for conflict solved
if it don't feed the ego we don’t wanna be involved

i want an audience that's mad as fuck
fist lifted to the sky if you're pissed about the damage that's done
i want a rap like a catapult
lick shots at the oligarchs tell 'em that their hour is up

time to make a switch like a whip get it cracking
looking for a fix like a sink or an addict
I could get you high like the ceiling of the attic
make you think with your mind like you finally gon grasp what i’m talking about
i walk around with my volume loud
everyone i meet is an agent or a comrade found
if you know what i’m really saying
sing along loud as you can
with me right now
sing

I am
part of an audience that's mad as fuck
fist lifted to the sky cause we’re pissed about the damage that's done
i’ma rap like a catapult
lick shots at the oligarchs tell 'em that their hour is up
