Guns Are Drawn - The Roots[00:00:00]
Written by:Anthony Tid[00:00:02]
Tell me how you feel when you sing a song oh[00:00:11]
Tell me what you do when the guns are drawn[00:00:16]
Hey little one you can't knock us all all[00:00:21]
Tell me what you do when the guns are drawn[00:00:26]
Yeah it would be cool it could be too[00:00:32]
Stop running round in circles off of what we fuel[00:00:35]
Living a lie eventually believing it's true[00:00:37]
A lot of people here for us one could be you[00:00:40]
It's outrageous and they just ain't nothing but save us[00:00:42]
An ocean of brown fists in various flavors[00:00:45]
A favor for a favor man this is the majors[00:00:47]
Tell me what you would do with no phone or pagers[00:00:50]
No kinko's no Fed Ex and no ATM's[00:00:53]
What you gon' do when the police state begins[00:00:55]
Well it already began but I guess it depends[00:00:57]
On what's really going on what's happening huh[00:01:00]
Military target practicing[00:01:03]
They finna write another Patriot Act again[00:01:04]
The days is short the nights is long the fight goes on[00:01:07]
The pistol and the pipes are drawn c'mon[00:01:10]
The middle of the night[00:01:13]
We fight like barbarians in sight[00:01:14]
Of the former might[00:01:16]
You might think that it's a waste of our time[00:01:20]
And I think you would be right[00:01:24]
Till he drop that rhyme[00:01:28]
The middle of the night[00:01:30]
We fight like barbarians in sight[00:01:33]
Of the former might[00:01:37]
You might think that it's a waste of our time[00:01:40]
And I think you would be right[00:01:45]
Till he drop that rhyme[00:01:48]
Uh and some might say that it's a waste of time[00:01:51]
Cause ain't no amount of dancing finna break the bondage[00:01:54]
We go to war and transcend space and time[00:01:57]
When every record ain't a record just to shake behinds[00:01:59]
You know the stakes is high we in the face of drama[00:02:02]
That's why we can't shake it or escape the problem[00:02:05]
It's like a game of roulette the barrel revolving[00:02:07]
They only want to see us occupying a coffin[00:02:09]
Mothers crying too often from they lost child leaving[00:02:12]
From trying to get over get under get even[00:02:14]
Get inside getting getting dumped getting greedy[00:02:17]
We got to get it right it's not about to be easy c'mon[00:02:18]
You best to pull your goggles up it's about to get greasy[00:02:22]
Believe it's on as long as we can still speak freely[00:02:25]
The pages of my life will make it hard to free me[00:02:28]
I know my people hearing me holler if y'all believe me word[00:02:30]
The middle of the night[00:02:33]
We fight like barbarians in sight[00:02:35]
Of the former might[00:02:37]
You might think that it's a waste of our time[00:02:39]
And I think you would be right[00:02:44]
Till he drop that rhyme[00:02:47]
The middle of the night[00:02:50]
We fight like barbarians in sight[00:02:52]
Of the former might[00:02:57]
You might think that it's a waste of our time[00:02:59]
And I think you would be right[00:03:04]
Till he drop that rhyme[00:03:07]
