Bamboo - Alpha Beta Omega lyrics

Search and you'll define the
Sky between the lines
I could never tell truth from
Victim escape's a tired line
Knock knock, something's creeping
Laying down the land smear on the wicked
Now if you're ready to bleed
Turn your head, turn your
Head, from the right, follow me
Give chase to my shadows
Disarmed with a whisper
No gun in my hand whatever
Happened to honor brother
Fight me man-to man, look me in the eye
I've got a family to feed
Will I learn from this? What
Can you teach me?
It's out of control, the times are crazy
We don't care who sit's on the throne
Doesn't matter to most of us
Just don't mess with the status quo


Lies paint my picture everyday
Every stone's been thrown
Lay siege to my kingdom, my cover's blown
Your blind dealing with death
Every dollar, a headstone
Where the rich get richer
The poor just multiply
That's smart, divide and conquer
I keep 'em entertained while you
Steal their hard earned mule
Was there ever a time we
Dreamed for something better?
Right now sounds real good but your telling
Me to wait for fairer weather

Let it rain, fire from the sky
Heaven help us (do you truly believe?)
Only the strong should survive
With permission
I make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire

Yes sir, yes ma'am, I get the picture
We educate the masses whose gonna
Be cooking our dinners
Such a waste of time thinking we
Have to raise our own
Sons and daughters when you can
Pay below the minimum
Shoot that man, may I follow up that order
But all this talk don't come cheap
We all know what has to be done
Our very own personal revolution
Revolution revolution revolution
Revolution revolution revolution revolution

Let it rain, fire from the sky
Heaven help us (do you truly believe?)
Only the strong should survive
With permission
I make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire

Now here you come walking into
My part of town
Telling people you have such a solution
Quick fix, you got a story
Boy meets girl, stop, they have kids
Poppa works while 'ma raises the ten babies
She's praying every night that they'll
One day hit the jackpot
Nine lucky numbers win the lottery
A million gets me out of this hole
But when the well dries up, oh
Where do I go?
Little Pablo doesn't even know how
To read or write
I'm starving sweet Ana so I can
Get a good price for her
2 down 8 to go, oh wait
He's got good skin tone
Got nice smile, an accent
But kinda smells though
So where do you think you're going
Talking that kind of talk
That doesn't happen, not on my watch, no
That doesn't happen
I ask you all to bear witness to
The rape of these young souls
Let's give 'em a fighting chance and
See where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to
The rape of these young souls
If I don't do anything let's
See where this all goes
I ask you all to bear witness to
The rape of these young souls
They got front row seats
Don't tell me they know
I ask you all to bear witness to
The rape of these young souls
They don't need your donation
What about education
I ask you all to bear witness to
The rape of these young souls
No amount of praying's gonna
Change their woes

Let it rain, fire from the sky
Heaven help us (do you truly believe?)
Only the strong should survive
With permission
I make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire
