Verse 1: It goes a one, two, three, and it's just another
bombtrack, and suckas be thinking that they can fake this! But I'm a drop it at a
higher level, cause I'm inclined to stoop down, hand out some beatdowns. Cold
runna train on punk ho's that they think that they run the game. But I learned to
burn that brigde and delete those who compete at a level so obsolete. Instead I
warm my hands upon the flames of the flag, as I recall our downfall and
buis'nesses that burned us all. See through the news and the views that twist
reality. Enough, I call the bluff for manifest destiny, landlords and
powerwhores, on my people they took turns. Dispute the suits I ignite and watch
them burn with the thoughts from a militant mind. Hardline hardline after
hardline. Landlords and powerwhores on my people they took turns. Dispute the
suits I ignite and watch 'em burn!

chorus

Verse 2: It goes a one, two, three........
Another funky radical bombtrack started as a sketch in my notebook. And now dope
hooks make punks take another look. My thoughts ya hear, and ya begin to fear
that ya card will get pulled if you interfere with the thoughts from a militant,
militant mind, hardline, hardline after hardline. Landlords and powerwhores, on
my people they took turns. Dispute the suits I ignite and then watch 'em burn!
