Lyrics Clear the Lane - Demo 1991 - Rage Against the Machine

Hey yo Let me be front
This is real and not a stunt
I am coming to the forefront
Shovel for the rapper and clear the lane
Cause this jam is like a tomahawk dunk
Teach ya I will never stop dropping topics
Vocal power

Yes I got it on central but their trying to clamp it down
Flag was waving the wrong way so I shot it down
Get down, and at the same time
Come up down
This is a crime that shut us up
I don't give a fuck

Cause the words and the thoughts still hit
And like I said
It is not a skit
Jump another hit yeah
They know I don't need a drum kit
Make em say oh shit
The rebellion is true and legit

Down, get down, and clear the lane
Down, get down, and clear the lane
Down, get down, and clear the land
Down, get down, Yeah

The rebel
You will never disable, defiance
With the cards upon the table
Pulling cards
Keep the governments in check
Yo

I think we need a new deck
Never could trust a phillabusta
The mic is like a fist and it will bust ya
With words cold hitting with the underground
And now you are checking out the new sound
Live hit

A live pop
Live rock
And y'all don't stop
It goes on and on and on
Who is a threat
Common, the war is on

Down, get down, And clear the lane
Down, get down, and clear the lane
Down, get down, and clear the lane
Down, get down, and clear the lane

Start dropping
Our words are never safe
Fighting with a champ
Till I am where I gotta be
I challenge, don't sweat it
Now don't you forget it
Check me what wait

You better slow down
Realize I can't confine my rhyme to a beat
I need cash so when I'm cool I am never ever weak
Places are fluid and diluted and complete
Check me once, calm down and take a seat
Strip the chains the freedom's there but then it is gone

Ugh clear the lane
Ugh clear the lane
Ugh clear the lane
Ugh clear the lane

Defiance ripping up the south set
Every time I am gripping the mic it is a sound threat
Resist against the suckers that bring the bass in
Timmy see
Bring that bass in

Ugh clear the lane
Ugh clear the lane
Ugh clear the lane
Ugh clear the lane
