We livin' in a mean time and an aggressive time 
painful time, a time where cynicism rots the vine 
In a time where violence blocks the summer shine 
Lifetimes, go by in a flash 
In the search for love, in the search for cash 
Everybody wanna be some fat tycoon 
Everybode wanna be on a tropic honeymoon 
Nobody wanna sing a little bit out of tune 
Or be the backbone of a rebel platoon 
It's too soon to step out of line 
You might get laughed at you might get fined 
But do you fear me when I say I feel pain everyday 
When I see the way my friends gotta slave 
And never get ahead of bills they gotta pay 
No way no way! 
Some make a living doing killing Colombian penicillin 
Some are willing to play the villain they just chillin' 
To pass the time, pass the information 
Or pass the wine 
Pass the buck or pass the baton 
But you can't pass the police or the pentagon 
The I.R.S. or the upper echelon 
I think it's time to make a move on the contradiction 

 [bad word]  
Bom-Bom, rock the nation 
Take over television and radio station 

Bom-Bom the [bad word] [bad word] 
Give the corporation [bad word] #33; 

This is the dawning of our time I say it one more time 
To emphasize the meaning of my rhyme 
To rise above all the dirt and grime 
Add the right spice at the right time 
 [bad word] the constitution 
Are we part of the solution or are we part of the pollution 
Sittin' by and wonderin' why, 
Things ain't the way we like to find them to be, to be 
For you and for me the people over there and the ones in between 
Check our habitation are we a peace lovin' nation 
Peace lovin' nation 
I have a reasonable doubt I think I'll just spell it out 
There's no need to scream or to shout 
The N.R.A. just bought a man's soul 
Then he jumps up and shouts gun control 
The government says that killin's a sin 
Unless you kill a murderer with a lethal syringe 
So I ask again "are we peace lover's then" 
Some of them slang guns when they six years old 
Some of them end up in some six foot hole 
This whole [bad word] place seems to, lost control 
So I raise my voice before I lose my soul 

 [bad word]  

This is the way I'll express my feelings 
Vibe revealed and revolved spinnin on a record y'all 
Try to confiscate take what [bad word] with 
It's ancient gift of the lip steady creating 
Activating passion vocal vibrations to the blind plus the seeing 
Human doesn't mean just being 
 [bad word] don't believe it just belife it 
Belongings or beloved rehearse it or recite it 
While shining drop your guns and move your tongues 
Battle motivation in no time [bad word] 
Sometimes fun [bad word] their mouth or away 
My [bad word] beaming like an early sunray 
One day we'll get the picture and [bad word] 
Less the talking bout mines is mine and [bad word] one mind 
Every piece of the puzzle has its place 
To build the piece of the puzzle called the human race 

Taking it long enough we [bad word] the formal journalistic 
Dyslexic critters talk backwards to rap words 
I'm sure raising my hands with questions and demands 
Statements and a plan with a map of the land 

 [bad word]
