Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How long before the hate that we hold lead us to another holocaust
Are we so deep in it that we can't end it, stop, hold, ever call it off
It's too clear, nuclear's too near and the holders of the molotov
Say that revolution's right here, right now and they ain't callin' it off
[Verse 2]
Wake up, roll a eighth up, throw a double finger with a fist
Here at the abyss I will be your tour guide, it is war time
Check your wrist (Ready kids?)
Over to your right, shine a light, gotta bevy ready for the fight
I just wanna live, I don't wanna ever have to load a clip
Only hunt bliss, I am still a kid in my heart but these motherfuckers sick
They don't give a shit, not at all
They don't even wanna let you take a little piss in a pot
Listen along, they don't want your love, shit is bugged
Motherfuckers steady, getting rich from the blood, love when you beg
Trust, I would sooner put a puckered pair a lips to the sun
[Verse 3]
Love will survive, running under iridescent lights for our lives
I would be surprised if we ever got to feeling so alive as tonight
While for the night, look into my eyes
I am standing at your side for the fight, minds over might
Swear to god, they can barely even see the dog
They don't see the size of the fight
[Verse 4]
Wake up, drink water, smoke blunt, clean, oil my Kalashnikov
Stockpile ten for me and friends in case shit get to poppin' off
The evenin' news, givin' used views
Tellin' you to pick your master for president
Then behind the curtain seen the devil workin'
Came back with some evidence
[Verse 5]
I'm here to tell you, don't let 'em tell you what's right, wrong
Make love, smoke kush, fight or laugh hard, and live long
That's the antidote, you defeat the devil when you hold onto hope
'Cause kinfolk, life is beautiful and we ain't gotta die for them other men
And I refuse to kill another human being in the name of the government
'Cause I don't study war no more, I don't hate the poor no more
Gettin' more ain't what's more, only thing more is the love
So when you see me please greet me with a heart full
And a pound and a hug
[Verse 6]
(Take my swollen heart, bring me home from the dark)
(Take me up, take me up, take me up)
(Take me up, take me up, take me up)
[Verse 7]
(Up, up, up)
(Up, up, up)
[Verse 8]
Seen the devil give a sermon in a church
Seen an angel dancing in the club
Tryin' to feed a baby, so I threw a thousand in the air
And blessed her with a hug
I done been down so many times, walked on like a dirty rug
And now that I made it, can't fake it
Gotta give me what I'm truly worthy of
[Verse 9]
And I don't know how much it really means to be right
But what a joy it be to see some peace in this life
And it occurs to me that maybe we ain't really seeing it right
Here in the dark, hoping just to see a beam of the light
[Verse 10]
(Take my swollen heart, bring me home from the dark)
(Take me up, take me up, take me up)
(Take me up, take me up, take me up)
