Lyrics

Calling all CATS
Time to rally up the masses

Blast against these
tyrannical masters

cannibal monsters who

perpetrate evil deeds
Under shields of law
Montesquieu

This resistance is obedience to God
Staying true

To the higher power that’s inside of you
Until its rule

by the people

We setting fire to the news

Life like dynamite
About to blow a fuse

Live free or die
You choose

No pardons for arsonists
For tagging the channels

They blackin you
offa the list
extractin vandals

The executions swift
death sentence is mando

No process of appeal
They on our heels commando

Lift a foot high when you march
Trample that rat bastard

Smash it
with all of ya weight
The vermin squirmin with hate

When the people find purpose

As for the snakes
scorched earth make it
Faster to sort and slay
The serpents

defiance
You tryna sell me bullshit
I won’t buy it

defiance

False promises of freedom
Sound the sirens

Defiance
You must know
We will never fold

You can’t put liberation on hold

So what if we outgunned and outmatched

I’mma still swing my sword and slash

In the final hour

My life might
depend on the knife fight

Snipers on the roof
get sniped from above
By galactic shooters

They got all kinds of ammunitions
guns and bazookas

But ideas are bullet proof
The real super power

They zap the nuisance
To make you think fighting back is useless

But can’t nobody take your power if you using it

They spit in yo face
Put ya momma in chains

And you ain’t gon do shit?

Soon as you turn the other cheek
They clip ya beak
Cut yo nose like the sphinx

Take heed
Raise ya seeds
let em know
Not take shit off no joe blow

Watch for the low blow

on guard
On god
And loyal to the squad

You either right on
Or get left off

Let em know
You either lay down or
Get down with the cause

You either forge a path out the madness
Or stay lost

Theres always a price to pay
ignorance is too high of a cost

if you distracted
It’s easy to send you off
With bogus laws

all you gon do
is happily go along

It ain’t no joke
You either wake the fuck up or get woke
