Wild International Lyrics: (click to listen)

They say that in war that truth be the first casualty
So I dig in selector, I, the resurrector, fly my shit
Sever your neck wider than ever with my tongue dipped in funk arsenic
Burn this illusion this lie with straight arson shit
You're arsenal stripped, power ain't full jackets and clips
It's my ability to define phenomenon
Raw like crenshaw in 84 or the boogie down before
LA when the war break off
Where you be take off
Or stand in full face off with the m1 millimeter,
Let the rhythm of the chamber hit em
Let the rich play catch with em
Better yet, make em eat em and shit em till they so full of holes that they drown in their own
I'm like a nail stuck in the wrist of their christmas
I don't need radio to leave their family a witness

[CHORUS]
Both Mohammed and Christ word life will lay your body down
to a tune so wild international
In the desert full of bullets let your body rot
With my chrome, with my verse, with my body rock
(x2)

In this era where DJs behave, be paid to be slaves
we raid airwaves to be sane and
what's raining from they station?
cash fascination like living dead fed agents
Distract us fast from a disasters wrath for sure
The air war flooded like the 9th wand
In the AM on the AM
Turn and face them, hatred and mayhem slay them
Dangerous, I take razor steps
it's a swing from the bling
to the bang of the left
It's the murderous return
Of the boom back full strap
It's your six that got clipped, so you can't clap back
With minimal lift and criminal flow
Flow killing them soft
And killing them for everything stole
And once again I'm like a nail in the wrist of they christmas
watch me make they family a witness

[CHORUS]

Ocean View Lyrics:

Blood done been running down streets flood with beats
Pepper spray our cracked concrete
So vicious make a rich man's neck split
Underworld bout to wreck shit
Bet this bank's closed
Stomach churning lives and rows
Cops blasting out church windows
They heard word of two on a terror list
Hid in the pews just two city terrace kids
One held a piece just for peace of mind
The other was spitting poems blowing minds on the picket line
Barricades lay cross made with bumper seat burning tires
And you could smell the exhaust
And you could hear the kids screaming don't play us too close
You can have the mic or the heater but you can't hold both
And they were both...
And they were both...

[CHORUS]
Ocean of tears rise
Rise a flame to tear them down
Ocean of past crimes
Now fill our hearts to tear them down

The water mains cut off panic hit the manor of the mayor who's soft
Word hit the streets that the cops got off
They shook to the rhythm of heaters that burned
Like claps of thunder
You turn to look at vengeance returned that shatter control
After the whole shock of the news that a bomb hit the bridge at broadway
Gridlock full stop every exit from chavers to main
Downtown was the same
Every corner a flame with lines of people stripped of they clothes
Freeze - hold up your id's
Their houses burned as they watched
The colonel looked at his clock
And they were all...
And they were all...

[CHORUS] x2

Last Letter Lyrics:

Your god is a homeless assassin
Who roams the world to save
He's digging for buried treasures
He's leaving nothing but fields of graves
(Leaving nothing but fields of graves)

[CHORUS]
The tears will fly like birds of vengeance
The sky will bury us all
The church bells will sound like sirens shrieking
The hole will be dug for the fall

Through the smoke its now getting clearer
Who led us into the burning theater
Into the rain of bodies and ashes
And into the court rooms of pitched blackness
And into the secret firing lines
And into the barbed wire dug in around our minds
(Dug in around our minds)

[CHORUS]

Your god is dying much younger than Rome
He's killed so many he can't go home
Your god's heart is a tumor now rotten
Born of a blood that's never forgotten
And this is my last letter to you

If You Fear Dying Lyrics

The bastard son I spit non-fiction
In exile for a while now with raw friction
Never be a pawn the boomerang be upon you
I'm like fela with my heart in Venezuela
It's a world fauela so fuck the novela
I'm out of the cellar with a blade and some cheddar
For this new world order you learn to bow down
To the new sound of slavery
The era be terrible, terror filled, terrified
Why would we ever let a few white christian fictions
Shape our tomorrow
Following them cause tomorrow got a gun to it's head

[CHORUS]
Time is coming
Rising like the dawn of a red sun
If you fear dying then you're already dead
(x2)

I'm in with the spirit of Ali Touré
As I target more heads than a priest on ash Wednesday
Paid and hanging you pigs on gold ropes
Have the mic or the heater but you can't hold both
You could snatch one and catch the blast of the other
I'm chicano soprano high off my pitch ammo
I'ma put a crack in your diamond pimp cup
So rest up I'm your cross turned right side up
I'm the press leak that drowned your aide
I'm the orange jump suit that's tailor made
I'm the crescent the sickle, so sharp the blade
I'm the flick of the shank that opened your veins
I'm the dusk I'm the frightening calm
I'm the hole in the pipeline I'm a roadside bomb

[CHORUS]

And they all have their guard down
Every rotten egg
Rocking in a fire church bells ringing
All I have is hatred
And all I have is hatred, its the darkness that helped me here
In under a year mad still, somehow killing
Fuckin elephants
Family assassin, open up this emptiness
Death with new gadgets
One Day As A Lion Lyrics:

Blood soaked earth that you call home (x2)
Close your eyes but don't sleep
We coming like peoples army
For the people who can't eat
Who work with no sleep
For the child with no shoes on their feet
A generation who flash heat
Role up on banks for their cash seat
Know the criminal? You got the nerve to ask me
Tear mics till my voice get raspy
Faced flame for five centuries
And if LA were Baghdad we'd be Iraqi
With your straps in the backseat
Next to a general tied up with shit in his khakis

Best leave my mic alone I'm full grown
And I'm off to the green zone
(x2)

After dark my city's a fuse (x2)
One day I say today we live as a lion
(x2)

Blood soaked earth that you call home

I heard this cat got life in the pen
Crossing sand in the back of a truck bed
Twelve deep heard sirens and lights red
Smacked on his dome with the club of a white fed
No food no water no rights read
He came north to keep his seeds in his white van
In the middle of the darkest night bled
Stepped to the law and said
You a minuteman wait a minute man
Talk like that might limit your life span

After dark my city's a fuse (x2)
One day I say today we live as a lion
(x2)

And when our cubs grow we'll show you what war is good for (x6)
