Yeah so you thought you could get with the hardlines. That fill your mind. Thoughts battles fought. And lessons taught. Yes I'll display the fitness. And flip like a gymnast. Raise my fist and resist. Asleep though we stand in the midst. Of the war. Gotta get mine. Gotta get more. Keepin' the mic warm against the norm. 'Cause what does it offer me?. I think often it's nothin' but a coffin. Gotta get wreck. 'Till our necks never swing on a rope. From here to the cape of no hope. . Now freedom must be fundamental. In Johannesburg or South Central. On the mic 'cause someone should tell 'em. To kick in the township rebellion. . Why stand on a silent platform?. Fight the war fuck the norm (4 times). (Guitar solo). Why stand on a silent platform?.
