Shock and Awe

I wonder what the future holds This is the dawn of the new era We the people who duck, dive and weave Were led to believe that we're all naive Alienation of a radio TV movie nation No patience in this land of patients Out of sight make that White House right And you know what they doin' just ain't right See the world's growing hard to vision When you lost this world and your ass in a mission Apart from the Bin Laden they're worlds apart Eighty percent of America's got passports Watch the Patriot Act keep both camps back Lords of the pause and the contract No chance of why their seeds be dancin' Keep draftin', yeah, I think they're passin' Draft law, send the poor the caskets In the name of war, bastards Iraq, yeah that whole thing is whack You don't know? So what, are you under a rock? So I rock, shut the whole damn block No bird, no train, no dance soul plane This is the same thing you're all used to playin' Same style as Saddam Hussein is insane Shock and awe, let me explain Me and Z-Trip is to rock it to your brain And so I rock Rock, rock on, rock, rock on, rock, rock on Shock, shock on, shock, shock on, shock, shock on Shock and awe It ain't just rappers, the world today If you wanted to follow us yesterday But very few cats got something to say Kept back and stuck to them same old ways Hate spendin' to pretendin' to be your friend Making them a goddamn beer wagon If peaceful revolution ain't possible Then violent revolution is inevitable It's suicidal to believe I'm your American Idol If you can't eat, what the hell is entitled? Critics don't give no credit to the lyrics Hypocrites, conflicts, beyond how to hear it Goin' yeah to the gangsta because of the distance Pentagon is gettin' gone because what they spend And you babble on because you invested in Babylon What happens when it's too far gone? Things are happening by no mistake When the walls crumble and the earth shakes You may pledge allegiance to the goddamn states God waits for no one, for God's sake Then pray to God when they're preying on you When you're praying to God, they're playing with you Fight the power, the gin and juice In three years you're for the devil get loose So you wanna rock? And we wanna rock, rock on, rock, rock on, rock, rock on Shock, shock on, shock, shock on, shock, shock on Shock and awe, shock and awe, shock and awe Come on, awestruck, awestruck, awestruck Revolution for your mind, body and soul Drownin' in the sea of the big dope Saddam No past, no future, don't go on for a while Ain't gave them nothin' but robbed a child From substance don't care for them up with style Like hip hop's loyalty or well like wow Turned the game and made them a goddamn shame Hell with history, you don't even know my name I ain't the same thing that you all used to playin' I'm that nonstop rock embedded to your brain Chuck D, Public Enemy number one Z-Trip got ya awestruck, awestruck, awestruck Shock and awe, shock and awe, shock and awe Shock and awe, shock and awe, shock and awe Rock it to your goddamn brain
