Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah wait a minute now
Ah wait a minute now
[Verse 2]
To tha young R to the E the B to the E the L
Never give up, just live up
Fed upon America we be spittin' it up
Rippin' it up for an even amount in each cup
To my brothers burning bare feet on black top
Whose curled 'neath tha shadows from the gaze of tha cops
Whose huntin' for 9-to-5s through factory locks
Is now hunted on this modern day auction block
[Verse 3]
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
[Verse 4]
Flexin' and mashin' with complex text
Fast and in a fashion that snap back necks
Quicker than the fed cash tha company checks
I be tha fire that only Marley could catch
Yes I be tha flame in tha cellar beware
Nameless cold millions gaspin' for air
Tha naked and wageless now scream within cages
They make you pull your shit just to get your share
[Verse 5]
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
[Verse 6]
Walk on down with tha warrior sound
[Verse 7]
With this mic device I spit nonfiction
Who got tha power? This be my question
Tha mass of the few in this torn nation?
Tha priest, tha book or tha congregation?
Tha politricks who rob and hold down your zone
Or those who give tha thieves tha key to their homes?
Tha pig who's free to murder one Shucklak
Or survivors who make a move and murder one back?
[Verse 8]
With this mic device I spit nonfiction
Who got tha power? This be my question
Tha mass of the few in this torn nation?

Tha pig who's free to murder one Shucklak
Or survivors who make a move and murder one back?
[Verse 9]
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker

I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker

I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
