I don't need your drugs
And I've gotta announce
I don't need your drinks
Muthafuck your 40 oz.
The only cocktail I'll have
Is a molotav
I'll use it
To blow this nation off
The map of the world
As it's hurled
A new system
Will be unfurled
You continue to poison yourself
Because sobriety
Is the antithesis
Of this society
The soma of a fascist government
Poison yourself for entertainment
Something they invent
To make you complacent
To get your consent
And make sure you're silent
So they don't have to represent
This I resent
But you can stop this descent
It's never too late to repent
As long as you chain yourself to potpourri
I know I can guarantee
You'll always be owned by the bourgeoisie
But not this emcee
I'll continue to disagree
Keep screaming like a banshee
I wanna make you free
But you take the drink
Make sure you can't think
Pound them down
To anestitize your brain
Freedom is hard
Thinking only brings pain
So drink the brew
It's what Washington wants for you
Then all you have to do
Is bid sweet adieu
To what's already overdo
And continue go into stores
And buy what is already rightfully yours
Think the weed will free your mind
But it can only make you blind
And this system
Will keep you in a bind
Until you find
We have a great need
For more refined
Forms of humankind
The only needle I need
Is on a record
I will not be ignored
Until what we have is rightly restored
It's used to keep you happy
So you never see how your life is crappy
I've heard your cries
I know you depies
Their horrible diguise
How about instead of swallowing their lies
You get together
And Organize?
So you can drink
And be a pawn
Kill you brain
'Till your will is gone
Then we'll never see
A new dawn
Just look in the mirror
And ask "What side you on?"
