Lyrics:
I've got a wife and four grown children
I can't afford their education
I've been a prison guard for fourteen years
That ain't exactly a vacation
Since he's been here he's followed ev'ry rule and I
Told you my position
The law says he's got the right to go to school
We abide by the court's decision
I got a Winchester two forty three
I like that gun for deer
Upstate November and the air is free
Feels like hunting seasons here
He's the one to keep your eye on
He's a sneak yeah but he's quiet
He's a trouble maker if I ever seen one
Next thing ya know it's Attica
And we got a prison riot
There ain't no way that punk gets his degree
And hides behind the constitution
No way in hell that smart assed spic goes free
Not while I'm in this institution
Holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I'm so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday today, holiday,
Holiday,
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
To share my little holiday,
Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds,
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
I had to leave the city 'cause it broke me down,
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
I think I'll get down on my little knees and pray, thank you Lord,
Thank heaven for this holiday, holiday,
I'm leaving insecurity behind me,
The environmental pressures got me down,
I don't need no sedatives to pull me round,
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound,
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I think I'll get down on my knees and pray,
That's what I'll do,
Thank heaven for this holiday,
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
And the sea's an open sewer,
But I really couldn't care,
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air,
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I'm so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday.
Foes these people go, someone destroyed their home
Plagued with disease, left praying on their knees
Laws protect the land, social justice in demand
Smoke it fills the air into the atmosphere
Now it's time to see a cycle of a tragedy
On!
PRELUDE
Desperate nerds in high offices all over the world have been known to
enact the most disgusting pieces of legislation in order to win votes
(or, in places where they don't get to vote, to control unwanted forms of
mass behavior).
Environmental laws were not passed to protect our air and water...
they were passed to get votes. Seasonal anti-smut campaigns are not
conducted to rid our communities of moral rot...they are conducted to give
an aura of saintliness to the office-seekers who demand them.

The daily commission
Of acts which a rational person might
Find to be stupid or dangerous
(or both) naturally
Our government is no exceptionfor instance
If the President
(any one of them) went on TV
And sat there with the
Flag in the background
(or maybe a rustic scene on a little
Backdrop, plus the flag) and stared
Sincerely into the camera and
Told everybody that all energy
Problems and all inflationary
Problems had been traced to and could
Be solved by the abolition of
MUSIC, chances are that most people would
Believe him and think that
The illegalization of this obnoxious form
Of noise pollution would
Be a small price to pay for the chance
To buy gas like the good ol'
Days no way?
Everything is better now
Better than is was before
Sunshine on a golden bough
Darkness locked behind closed door
Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed
I've been a mistake maker
For all of my days
And a law breaker
But crime never pays
An overtaker
On lifes highways
A serial faker
Making getaways
I've been a mover and a groover
In the halls of power
A real bad loser
In my darkest hour
A high seas cruiser
Searching tropical flowers
A pick and chooser
In an ivory tower
Now I'm a man of peace
With a hungry soul
For I found release
In a lost loophole
I'm the masterpiece
Who just scored the goal
Let the love increase
Now I'm in control
Justice isn't blind
It just looks the other way
Not from want of trying
I have nothing left to say
The sky burns bright, 24 hour night
And you don't pay death duties when your on death duty
You came here looking for the peace and quiet
The healthy air and the healthy diet
The sea's so calm but the street's a riot
Taken years off your life when you've no years left to give
Yeah you're
Guilty 'till proven guilty etc.
Baby, can you focus on me?
Focus on me
So much smoke in the air, you can't see shit
Servin' Crip dick 'til the bitch sea sick
Bought everything, I don't lease shit, G shit
Workin' out so the fleece fit, cool
I'm on that who-you-wanna-be shit
West to East shit for all my dawgs and my Heathcliffs
Streets on tax so the heat's on my lap
When it's war, fuck the law, fuck it, bury me strapped
Money long as 21 Cadillacs
Matter fact, get it scratched like BattleCat
Hood politics, every real nigga battles that
Still standin' 'cause the way a nigga handled that
10 toes down, never actin' like a mark
Only nigga with a star that got put on at the Park, nigga
That's on the set, that's on my mama
I could still pull up at the Park, nigga
Focus on me
On God, I did that, I did that
Focus on me
10 toes, I did that, I did that
Focus on me
Every word I rapped, nigga, I lived that
Focus on me
Give it up, I did that, I did that
Gangbangers rejoice when they hear my voice
Pullin' up in Rolls Royce, the hood in full-force still
Realizing I'm the source still
The wrong move could get my boys killed
So I focus on me
Makin' sure this whole shit stay rollin'
And my baby boo neck stay frozen
Rich rollin', on the clock, non-stop
And my bank account sure shows it
Big mouth Crip and the bitch niggas can't close it
I was chosen
So don't worry 'bout mine, nigga, we good
And fuck what y'all think, "Free Suge"
Diamond in the back with the leather with the wood in it
Banged around the world, made sure I kept the hood in it
Yeah, one time for the king
And I still smoke a nigga like a big bag of weed
On moms
Focus on me
On God, I did that, I did that
Focus on me
10 toes, I did that, I did that
Focus on me
Every word I rapped, nigga, I lived that
Focus on me
Give it up, I did that, I did that
Focus on me
Baby, can you focus on me?

We come back to Heal ya, Janglin soul
Edward and the Magnetic Zeros
Well your wartime is funny
Your guns don't bother me
I said we're out to prove the truth of
The man from Galilee
Well your laws are for dummies, yes
Your institutions dead
I say we're out to blow the trumpet
To wake you all from bed, from bed
We want to feel ya!
What ""order"" is being maintained here? To whose benefit are these laws for? Each situation not taken into account, so a racist classist sexist institution of forms. Womyn in prisons for self defense, kills her abuser, she finally fights back.
Now my heart is free
Staring back at me
Future's past I see
Light shines from the tree
Now my heart is free
Staring back at me
Future's past I see
Light shines from the tree
Now my heart is free
Staring back at me
Future's past I see
Light shines from the tree
No man can run from impending doom
Pays to raise his son for many moons
Fuck that, gotta raise my vibration
Might raise my voice outta frustration
Tryna raise this financial situation
'Cause I'm plagued with the same problems I was raised in
This that raise some concerns for your birth
Let's erase all concerns that the sun rays burn on the earth
Huh, and we not fast for solutions
I can breathe the air, but the air breeds pollution
Mind's getting snared by institutions
And if not, then they get impaired by fusion
And if not, then it's both, lost hope for improvement
That's why the Coast can't coast through the movement
That's why when you ask why, I won't be fretty
When I look in your eyes and see the light, I feel heavy
But you'll never notice 'cause I'll never show it
Plus, you'll be too busy disectin' the motives
Of the world around you, tryna balance your focus
Anything can become your everything in the moment
Every moment for me brings me closer to eternity
And you might think that that's closer to uncertainty
Perfect you, that's a perfect me
In a perfect world that could never be
I recognize you're the future (future)
Light shines from the tree
Heaven's in the kid, Hell don't exist
Inhale, exhale for the male, female, themselves to exist
Mind your tongue for what's to come, death knell fell through your lips
Beat life with a health benefit or whoever else benefit
The youth, they soak our vibes up
Our frequency must rise up, rebuke the chemicals and ditch the products
Teach 'em what's natural, how nigga naps could wake the god up
Teach 'em the Afrocentric lens of this life that's upon us
Not just vices and charmer, give advice from the prices of karma
Deeds and action, laws and righteous rights and honors
They on us since the schoolyard, drillin' in too hard
Indoctrinated who most hated, I'll break it to y'all
The only way to predict the future is to create it
And school's designed to rob our children of imagination
They're snuffin' generations, future after future
Slow our innovations, that's how you trap your future
That's how you trap when it come to rap or how you react to future
Social engineerin', these ain't words for fearin'
You holdin' court with the wise, this a positive hearin'
To aid us on our journey, it's universal law
And we got power of attorney, so ain't no need to worry
And ain't no need to hurry
Family trees plant money trees, the flow seeds are buried
Enemies and adversaries follow greed to cemeteries
But won't receive a cherry, the fruits of our labor stem from our purpose
We the emblem of perfect, we ain't descend from no curses
And yes, I have read Deuteronomy, but
Due to the rhymes in me, I got knowledge in infinite verses, and so
Heaven's in the kid, Hell don't exist
Inhale, exhale for the male, female, themself to exist
Mind your tongue for what's to come, death knell fell through your lips
Beat life with a health benefit or whoever else benefit
Your higher self will emit
Now my heart is free
Staring back at me
Future's past I see
Light shines from the tree
Now my heart is free
Staring back at me
Future's past I see
Light shines from the tree
What are we to feel?
What are we to do
When working for your living
And living by your laws?
The morning is humming, it's a quarter past nine
I should be working down in the vines
But I'm lying here with a good friend of mine
Watching the sun in her hair
I pick the grapes from the hills to the sea
The fields of France are a home to me
Ah, but today lying here is a good place to be
I can't go anywhere
But as we slip in and out of embrace
Like some old and familiar place
Reflecting all of my dreams in her face like before
On the last day of June 1934
Just out of Cambridge in a narrow country lane
A bottle-green Bentley in the driving rain
Slips and skids round a corner, then pulls straight again
Heads up the drive to the door
The lights of the party shine over the fields
Where lovers and dancers watch Catherine wheels
And argue realities digging their heels
In a world that's finished with war
And a lost wind of summer blows into the streets
Past the tramps in the alleyways, the rich in silk sheets
And Europe lies sleeping,
You feel her heartbeats through the floor
On the last day of June nineteenth
On the night that Ernst Roehm died voices rang out
In the rolling Bavarian hills
And swept through the cities and danced in the gutters
Grown strong like the joining of wills
Oh echoed away like a roar in the distance
In moonlight carved out of steel
Singing "All the lonely, so long and so long
You don't know how I long, how I long
You can't hold me, I'm strong now I'm strong
Stronger than your law"
I sit here now by the banks of the Rhine
Dipping my feet in the cold stream of time
And I know I'm a dreamer, I know I'm out of line
With the people I see everywhere
The couples pass by me, they're looking so good
Their arms round each other, they head for the woods
They don't care who Ernst Roehm was, no reason they should
Just a shadow that hangs in the air
But I thought I saw him cross over the hill
With a whole ghostly army of men at his heel
And struck in the moment it seemed to be real like before
On the last day of June nineteen thirty four
You went looking for me dear
Down by the sea
You found some little silver fish
But you didn't find me
I was hiding dear
hiding all away
I was hiding dear
hiding all away
You went to the museum
And you climbed a spiral stair
You searched for me all among
The knowledgeable air
I was hidden babe (hiding)
I was hiding all away
I was hidden dear (hiding)
I was hiding all away
You entered the cathedral
When you heard the solemn knell
I was not sitting with the gargoyles
I was not swinging from the bells
I was hiding dear (hiding there)
I was hiding all away
I was hiding dear (hiding there)
I was hiding all away
Alright now!
You went looking for me dear
Down by the sea
You found some little silver fish
But you didn't find me
I was hiding dear
hiding all away
I was hiding dear
hiding all away
You went to the museum
And you climbed a spiral stair
You searched for me all among
The knowledgeable air
I was hidden babe (hiding)
I was hiding all away
I was hidden dear (hiding)
I was hiding all away
You entered the cathedral
When you heard the solemn knell
I was not sitting with the gargoyles
I was not swinging from the bells
I was hiding dear (hiding there)
I was hiding all away
I was hiding dear (hiding there)
I was hiding all away
Alright now!
burning the sands alight way into the air
dark black clouds obscure the sky a twilight of despair
and babylon is overrun by armies of the lord
who cleanse their souls in holy wars and sing in praise of sword
the mighty cross of jerusalem the crescent moon of troy
saracens and noblemen a sport they all enjoy
churning black, the seas awash environmental doom
oil wells are set alight obscure a darkling moon
euphrates valleys overrun by armies of the west
sent by god to claim their prize a black gold treasure chest
the mighty cross of jerusalem the crescent moon of troy
saracens and noblemen a sport they all enjoy
from the cradle of civilisation springs the mother of all wars
a u.n. team of investigation the breaking of all human laws
we will never finish what we started and break the tyrants rule
just like all those old time crusaders we're the only fools
evil takes what evil needs and there ain't no middle way
just like all those christian martyrs we're the ones who'll pay
join the new crusade
We've walked 80,000 years
This land
All you see and hear
Mapped in stories told
Alive through songs of old
Now we battle broken ancestral lines
But that's fine
It's for the sake of the Adani Mine
We've worked generations long
This land
Families made strong
Year in and year out
Learned how to manage drought
Now less water flows through artesian lines
But that's fine
It's for the sake of the Adani Mine
We've scorned over centuries
This land
Far as you can see
Spanned logistically
By road, rail, air and sea
Environmental risks at every line
But that's fine
It's for the sake of the Adani Mine
But that's fine
It's for the sake of the Adani Mine
Cabin pressurization is a process
In which conditioned air is pumped into the cabin of an aircraft
In order to create a safe and comfortable environment
For passengers and crew flying at high altitudes
This air is usually bled off from the gas turbine engines at the compressor stage
The air is cooled, humidified, and mixed with recirculated air if necessary
Before it is distributed to the cabin by one or more environmental control systems
The cabin pressure is regulated by the outflow valve
Pressurization becomes increasingly necessary at altitudes above 10,000 feet Above sea level to protect crew and passengers from the risk of a number of Physiological problems caused by the low outside air pressure above that altitude
Pressurization of the cargo hold is also required to prevent damage
To pressure-sensitive goods that might leak
Expand, burst or be crushed on re-pressurization
The principal physiological problems are listed below
Hypoxia, Altitude sickness, Decompression sickness and Barotrauma
Cabin Pressurization
MORTALITY OF THE SEA
Belligerent, the nature of the beast
There is no more fucking peace
Ignorant, environmental poison
That is thrown into the sea
Red tide, toxic life, chemicals
Lurking in the ocean
Blood- brain, barrier, breakdown
There is no devotion
Mortality of the sea
This is death for you and me
Mortality of the sea
This no longer, cannot be
Contaminate, the food that we eat
Children suffer the years of decay
Eliminate, find a better way
Or in the end we all will pay
Red tide, toxic life, chemicals
Lurking in the ocean
Blood- brain, barrier, breakdown
There is no devotion
Mortality of the sea
This is death for you and me
Mortality of the sea
This no longer, cannot be
A putrid, stench of death
Chokes my breath of air
The foul, bacteria, breeds and doesn't care
The shores are filled, with the dead
Why are you so blind to see this is reality
The colonies, growing outta control
Red death, consumes the whole damn sea
Corporations, they don't give a shit
Cause nothing in this world
Is fucking free
Red tide, toxic life, chemicals
Lurking in the ocean
Blood- brain, barrier, breakdown
There is no devotion
Mortality of the sea
This is death for you and me
Mortality of the sea
This no longer, cannot be
Mortality of the sea
You’re bringing on the evil, inside of me
Chorus:
If you niggaz ain't scared, throw yo setts in da air
Throw yo setts in da air, throw yo setts in da air
If you niggaz ain't scared, throw yo setts in da air
Throw yo setts in da air, throw yo setts in da air
Cause we some killa ass niggaz
And we don't give a fuck
We come to break the fuckin laws
And tear the fuckin club up
Cause we some killa ass niggaz
And we don't give a fuck
We come to break the fuckin laws
And tear the fuckin club up
[Gangsta Boo]
I think I finally have located the gates of death
Lie awake at night, to hatch my evil plans, I find myself
Stumblin through the dark, up against the fuckin verge of sin
Bodies in my yard, oh my god, them demons came again
People don't you worry cause the Devil's Daughter got a plan
Ho, eternal burnin you in half if you don't comprehend
Understand this shit a gansta bitch is sayin to ya dawg
Lock you in the truck, mob through the night within a mist of fog
Never fear a nigga callin himself a killa, what's up trick
Boy you claim you so goddam buck wild with that weak ass shit
Chillin at the hideout, smokin out not worried bout a thang
Ballin through Black Haven, deep as hell in that suburban, man
Always watchin my back
Cause niggaz will jack you for your fuckin shit
?
God shed his grace on thee
'Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!
Oh beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!
O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
The S on your chest, better stand for Super-Stress
The Golden Arms pressed, next, here to set you
REC! I suggest niggas come To the Rescue
[U-God]
Slash hope, raw burnin, freezin thoughts are cold
Ballistic missile lift off, now one behold
My throat harden for Harlem, harness the volume
With grief fallin on me in a breeze, the seas partin
It's two men awesome, uncanny
The handy man crook, the rap gank where every damn nook and cranny
Plus four more opponents couldn't throw me, couldn't slam me
I told you before, this is war, it's radical claw
Menate the the law, practice my ambition
Understand determination, plus my burnin condition
Rebuild 'em, sing a song strong for disaster
Scorch 'em on a letter, clever, bled 'em much faster
Exotic lens, bionic Timb's, hardco' organic
The floor panic when revolvin, Shaolin dodgin
Potion of my juice, it's "Houston we have a problem"
Its Basic Instinct, motor mouth, hold is sacred
The Rushmore Rock Face, one four shot with the greatness
Raw shoulders, sword colder, no remorse
The crash course, the portions of my Porsche
Divorse it, the Holocaust exhaust, driven with force
Mighty ship back on course, I almost lost it
Toss the smokin corpse, seldom sing
Shells amongst men, rebellion, teens formin and swarmin
Vikin style, strikin without warnin a nation
Standin ovation, rap devastation
New animation, the scandal
Bandle the best part, damsel in distress, I'll bless you
God damn you!
