lyrics

Verse 1
See the grimace
Label me a menace to society
And every step I take big brother has his eye in me
That's why I walk quietly and keep to self
Stay just under the radar they call me stealth
Control is hard to keep when you see what I live
I push an 80 hour shift
With no bucks to give
And that's just enough to touch the bottom of the bucket of a 100 foot well that
I say fuck it just
Take what you need for you seed to succeed
Break ground find sun and fresh air to breathe
To meet your basic need is God given right
That's why bees get stingers and birds get flight
We fight to oppose our foes and to protect our food we know that anything goes
Forget what you were told about maintaining civility
If violence was so wrong why were we given the ability
So I'm volunteering we to stabilize humanity and spaz out, spaz out, spaz out

Hook
Get free, get free get free
Spaz out, spaz out, spaz out
Get free x5

Verse 2
We been partying too long
In the basement with the res lights and slow songs
So long that we ain't saying nothing different
Finally got the world to listen and this is what we give them
Yeah we 'living' not to worry everything's ok
We're all in love
Oversexed
Buying platinum chains
Putting rims on the range
Poverty it ain't a thing
Yo don't worry everything's ok
While we stuck in the basement our communities decay
The same ones buying your albums don't everyday
Music ain't for play
Verses are for change
And taking when you can't negotiate a way
We stay making money being corporate slaves
Instead of being the voice of what the people want to say
What they pray when they kneel at the end of the day
So the conditions stay the same
Here's your chain
Never change
Elevated think thinking ain't a weakness
It's the strength that stays
Honor the ways,
Push against the cage and spaz out

Hook
Get free, get free get free
Spaz out, spaz out, spaz out
Get free x5
