Book of Judges

[Verse 1]

America the ugly raped my mother

Deceived my sister, separated my brother

Murdered my children, hung my father

Now they want me to rock the vote, the fucks, why bother?

Seen the commercials for they army or whatever

Picture me giving a damn? I said, "Never"

My mind's too sharp, my brain's too clever

My spine is too strong, every line pulls your lever

Limitless rhymes for the indigenous, the remedy

Plot — gettin' my money like the Kennedys

Flip it — put em' in stocks, collect indemnities

Rock — roll, behold my epiphanies, and

Read 'em and weep, heat 'em, I beat 'em to sleep

Mislead 'em til we even Steven, defeat 'em with freedom of speech

And let 'em know that I'm the motherfuckin' fire-starter

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta

[Chorus]

All I know is what I feel

Deceive my eyes and distort what's real

Only truth will set you free

I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees

[Verse 2]

We dying over black gold, they harvesting the sand

Presidents living marvelous, they starving in Sudan

It's obvious you walk a blind path to oblivion

The book of judges read the scriptures unlike Gideon

Light my fire, start my engine

When Pharoahe becomes Moses, it's medicine for who listens

A veteran with a mic bringing prophecies to fruition

Motivational verses under adverse conditions

You're caught in the mainframe, I've seen the maze, man

They watch you from the street lights, you and your main man

The bar code around your neck same as your name brand

You're lost in a strange land, no thoughts of a game plan

[Chorus]

All I know is what I feel

Deceive my eyes and distort what's real

Only truth will set you free

I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees

[Outro]

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta

Piss on the Constitution, then burn the Magna Carta, Carta, Carta
