When I was young
I watched the cars
When I was older
I drank in bars
When I was young
I chewed the leaves
When I was older
I drank with thieves
I found a love
She gave me dreams
She left me drunk
In New Orleans
So cold and lonely
So all alone
I wished my heart
Was made of stone
I took the cold bright needle
I used it as a sword
My eyes have seen the glory of
The coming of the Lord
I burned across the delta
I swam across the ford
My eyes have seen the glory of
The coming of the Lord
When I was a young man
Standing on this road
My empty belly
An aching hole
An old man said to me
";Kid don't you know
That it's the same
Wherever you go";
I gambled in two graveyards
I won against the odds
With the smiling saints
And the silent saviours
With the maggots and the gods
I cursed the things they showed me
I could never see again
And the howling of the wind at night
I wrote upon the rain
I found the thing
For which I prayed
And came back home
To the USA
With a heart of stone
And now I know
That it's the same
Wherever you go
Its the return of the, of the motherfuckin brainiacs.

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out of of their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave'
From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
[Verse One: Tempest]
Sonic boom to the head of a dread cause he's tread
Upon the Flatline [?] niggas so now he's dead
Straight out the door, dirty dungeon graveyard
I broadcast and watch Sport Center, Ahmad Rashād
Tic tac toe we smack in the back, oh shit
I seem to catch a vic' if a nigga think he slick
I eat a rapper appetizer
Shady like a visor
Punch you in your mouth with my ring the high riser
Kitty cat kitty cat there's a mouse for you to house
But the kitty cat was dead when the dog bit off his
head
On the contrary, it's legendary
So I bury
Your punk pussy ass in the Pet Sematary
[Verse Two: Redrum]
When it's a hit
I'm bringing the Tec-9 mad quick
Flipping the script and ripping your shit up so never
slip
Jesus Christ, should think twice before the crucifix
Dip dip diver I'm coming liver than the full clip
Dig up the grave violate your resting place
Rest in peace, pieces, believe that I'ma chase
A nigga through the graveyard, the 100 yard dash
Passionately stash your cash you're out of gas
Don't try to flinch I got the itchy trigger finger
Ringing the neck and bringing the thing a ling a ling
and run your check nigga
Open up a womb from a looney tune soon
All of the goons [?] bust 'em down sonic boom
[Hook]
BOOM to the head, you're dead now it's sonic {x8}
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BAM!
[Verse Three: Gravedigger]
Torture with a grip made out of tombstones
With a Flatline [?] broken bone and broken dome
I'm a rebel so I catch up with the devil
Put my status on his level with the treble, you're a
pebble
The ink pen is sinking, the motherfucking king pin
It's the Gravedigger so I doubt when I'm creeping
Hit you when you're sleeping, I'll lug you down like a
log to the morgue
Get you [?] put one in the spinal cord
I'm shooting (gun), I'm shooting [?] a motherfuck
I buck like a truck
One, two press your luck
[Verse Four: Tempest]
Three crazy motherfuckers, insane with mental problems
In my dreams, I'm busting Glocks down to goblins
And monsters, under my bed go get the sledge
Hammer, mack a framalama, mad niggas dead
So let's play freeze tag upon the burial ground
Stop (Sonic Boom!)
Everybody, what's that sound?
One, two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Eleven, twelve
I'm ready to pop a dozen shells
[Hook]
[Verse Five: Gravedigger]
Gravedigger the nigga behind the trigger so you figure
It's time to hold your own cause you feel you're
getting bigger
You once was my son [?]
I'm Flatline freaking, some Glock gonna burst
And all my enemies bodies are in a hearse
Let's visit the graveyard like the rabbit and the
turtle
Jumping over tombstones like jumping over hurdles
I loaded the pump like the back of my hand
I'm like [?] mortuary van
God damn, it's fitting [?]
I got a gun I never run I never will I never ran
[Verse Six: Redrum]
I'm coming six feet deep
I went into the crypt without your grave
A peaceful nigga
Six or seven bullets to his brain
What's my name?
(Redrum the nigga from the slum)
And where I'm from?
(Brooklyn, where he got his gun)
I'm from the Flatline Massive, gun in the darkness
Sparking a fucking philly in the casket
You wanna puff? The plant is rough...tough guy
You coming dead, never live (check it)
All I wanna do is zooma zooma zooma zoom
Bust a .44 and put your ass in a tomb

red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, let's go,
the seven colors train for U.S.A
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, let's go,
I was born in the USA
Born on the southside of Chicago town
And on warm summer nights we would all gather 'round
Away from irish parents eyes
In the dark with lovers and friends
Hoping it would never end
Smokin' weed and drinkin' brew
Loyalty was what you knew
WE WERE BORN IN THE USA
Everyone know each other and they all know you
The cops the fire the brickies too
And the night when the lights go out
From each house you can hear the sound
Of fights and passion all around
So have a drink and sit with me
You're all invited to be free
When my brothers went off to the war
With may kids we knew before
We saw the pictures on the news
Of people dying in the street
Pools of blood on the concrete
Many times I've prayed before
To bring those kids home from this war
WE WERE BORN IN THE USA
Well where you are from nobody cares
Unless you are from over there
Still you're welcomed in houses by us all
With Mayor Daley on the wall
Our lady, J.F.K., them all
We will break our bread with you
Because we are nobodies fool
WE WERE BORN IN THE USA
WE WERE BORN IN THE USA
[Ghostface Killah]
Walked up in the party like Riz', Ghost, Meth
Allah's on the wheels, Chef on the left
Fifty rep chin ups, the Wu rims up
Put down the Heine' for a sec, tie my Timb's up
Cake the Benz up, Starks ole'
Got the summer house crib, beats spun, murder you, than lay
Ric Flair cabbage and carrots, big exotic boat trips
The honey motion, wind up in Paris
[Chorus: Ghostface Killah]
Had a bad dream and it came to me
That I died and went to heaven, ain't have no weed
God said "Son, let me see your ID"
(Buddah Bless) gotta be right behind me
Which reminds me..
[Buddah Bless]
B, I'm just a thug
After hip hop, money, sex and drugs
After chicks that got money and tech's with slugs
You see the head to toe, yo, the way I dress is love
Plus them nine bang quick
And the hand game speak for itself
Like sign language, you lost and shook
Like the fish that got away, man, I'm off the hook
When these niggaz gotta pay, get it off the books
[Masta Killa]
Yo, knocked on a humble, slid through the system
Bag me a C-Wall, on the bench of the bullpen
My speaker for the pillow, my locked down presidents
Conflictors, for the robbers and jukkers
The buck fifty stitch zippers, if you wit us
From my Chi-Town thugs to my Killa Cali gangstas
Minnesota Wolves, Philly Six shooters
We ain't chuck potent, we off money throw up
[T-Slugz]
It don't mean nothing to me
Ya'll can't get nothing from me, stop frontin' from me and
Ya'll ain't got nothing for me
I take you where you want it to be, I'm who you wanted to see
And I'm that same dude, that came through
Runnin' with the same crew, still here, reppin' all the same rules
CD's easy to move, honey say I'm easy to choose, that ain't easy to you
And I stand out, big time, y'all easy to lose
Niggaz face all screwed, I'm just breakin' the news
And we do this for the cash, still keep a stash in a brown paper bag
Me and my nigga Mad, light skinned, dark skinned, we lovin', what an ass
Slow that thing down, ma, you movin' too fast
[Panama P.I.]
Yo, you movin' to fast
Watch P.I., throw the shit on smash
This game is high risk, player
Strictly for brick breakers and brick layers, spit razors
Jewel gem star, ball with the players, who grab the rim hard
Walk on dot, and it's the P on hard
When it's off season, I bring the pain til your balls bleeding
Quick as a Porsche speed, my niggaz floss frequent
Catch us up in court reading, with a
Couple of sons, that's used to hustlin' drums
I guess that's the only way we double our funds
Everything hardcore, when we slide in the door
Wait til we go back on tour
New exclusive joint, two thousand and - and
[Chorus]
[Eyeslow]
I walk with crooks, love guns, married to gats
That cali' detach, your back from that battery pack
My salary stack, chain make these other niggaz hurl
Yeah it's O and G, I'm O and P in other nigga's girl
I ain't lovin' nigga's girl, I'm just training, just banging
Just hanging, smokin' while my other nigga's twirl
(It's a gutter nigga's world) I'm all about the cheddar, man
Any problems you want, speak to my beretta, man
[Hot Flames]
I was taught from young, that, live is what you making it
Stuck on the crooked road, but I was taught to straighten it
Every track flamin' it, every gat, aimin' it
Before I start sprayin' it, and then I start banging it
Strong arm, I'm claimin' it, if I bring a chick to the crib
And she ain't my wifey, then we clangin' it
Spit hard, probably cuz I'm missing my fam
If it's beef, y'all niggaz better 'dip' like Cam
[Todd]
Son, you get mine, get knocked, and then I just get time
But I'mma hit the boy hard, just like you was a punchline
You spit, oh shit, call this here, lunch time
I'mma throw hot sauce all over that lunch rhyme
Rap for days, that'll blow like grenades
Flow so hot, it'll make 'em run for shade
Nowadays, the D's gettin' niggaz, picked up
So I hustle and sit up and let God big up
Fag, they call me Betty, cuz I got that ready rock
For any nigga that's ready to go inside the baker shop
Money mean a lot so I keeps mine in the wall
You the type that get a dollar and go and run to the store
Not me, each dollar I get, I make a copy
To let y'all know, for the love of this, I was the body
Looks are deceiving, so I'm askin' y'all to try me
Man was the one, who made hand guns a hobby
In U.S., A's for apathy
Not bullshit democracy
Red white and blue is all you see
But does it mean you're really free?
In U.S., A's for anarchy
Not bullshit democracy
I want total liberty
I want peace and anarchy
They tell us how to act and be
Well what they meant was slavery
With standards and authority
How can you think you're really free?
In U.S., A's for anarchy
Not bullshit democracy
I want total liberty
I want peace and anarchy
Do what you want be what you be
Don't fall for their hypocrisy
Open you mind! Wake up and see!
True freedom is anarchy!
In U.S., A's for anarchy
Not bullshit democracy
I want total liberty
There really is nothing nice about USA
You go to the hospital you have to pay
The dollar is the language that they all speak
they don't really bother about the radiation leak
FUCK THE USA
They keep their secrets undercover
the rich don't bother about those that suffer
this ain't the land of milk and honey
cause all they want is money money money
FUCK THE USA
Nuclear bombs are fuck all new
you'd better start running when they drop on you
run into a shelter, play hide and seek
cause when you die your body reeks
FUCK THE USA
There really is nothing nice about USA
You go to the hospital you have to pay
The dollar is the language that they all speak
they don't really bother about the radiation leak
Dashind through the snow
in a one-horse open sleigh,
o'er the fields we go,
laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtaill ring,
makink spirits bright,
what fun is to ride and sing
a sleighing song to night.
|:Oh Jingle Bells Jingle Bells
jingle all the way.
Oh ,what fun it is ti ride in a
one-horse open sleigh.
There's no dream
There's no hope
