Break the State

[Verse 1: Time] This is straight from the heart call me MC artery Thinking bout some real shit eyes looking watery Never let them leak though, Denver’s like a freak show 2 shots fired out my window like some free throws I’m tired of feeling poor, I’m tired of eating ramen I’m tired of all the war, propaganda, and bombing When I’m broke I’m frustrated, when I’m broke I wanna drink When I’m broke I can’t think, I just want to rob a bank I’m trying to keep it positive, I’m writing out my honesty I’m a rare thing to rap, like monogamy and modesty What’s a pyramid to a mountain? An ocean to a fountain How many lies have I told, I don’t know I stopped counting I’m real like dirty dishes in the sink for 2 days You fake like a CEO's smile and a toupee My thoughts are deep cause I came from the bottom If you have dreams you should chase them if you got em [Hook: Time] If you work everyday break the state If you don't make a living wage break the state If everyday there's more debt break the state If they arrest you at the protest break the state If there's drones over your home break the state If they foreclose on your loan break the state If you want to make change, break the state We got to break the state, before it's too late [Verse 2: Time] I am not a commie, I'm awake, I'm a realist I am a truthist, an anti-imperialist I am not perfect, come make mistakes with me I think my phone's tapped, the NSA is chasing me I was born in America, land of paranoia Where if you fight the state, propaganda will destroy ya Kids join the army for their educational goals But doesn't killing others uneducate the soul? The elite eat caviar as bodies explode And like a sweatshop they don't reap what they sew The state is homophobic cause the state is religious That's why they used the bible to slaughter the indigenous It ain't man vs. nature, it's money vs. everything Greed gave Mother Nature a radioactive wedding ring Old mother's dying we're almost out of time So watch me disappear like Palestine [Hook: Time] If you work everyday break the state If you don't make a living wage break the state If everyday there's more debt break the state If they arrest you at the protest break the state If there's drones over your home break the state If they foreclose on your loan break the state If you want to make change, break the state We got to break the state, before it's too late [Verse 3: Time] If voting changed anything it would be illegal Word to Emma Goldman don't vote for lesser evils It's not an election it's just an auction The winner goes to the corporation that bought them Politics is in the streets, vote with a protest Occupy rap, pedagogy of the oppressed Provocateurs everywhere I've seen it more than once But like Oscar said true friends stab you in the front I don't eat death so I don't eat meat But there's suicide genes in the soy and the wheat Break the state and don't replace it with another one Cause the president's just an ego with another gun I'm not preaching or whining I'm talking about apocalypse Put your faith in you, not theatrical politics This ain't man vs. god or man vs. machine The real enemy is us the nature of human beings
