Lyrics Sixteen - Smar-T Jones

Are domestic terrorists targeting Snohomish County businesses and job sites?
Federal investigators are looking for a tie between a radical environmental group
And three separate acts of vandalism

I'll use a sixteen to tell you about a fiend
That only dreams when he's going through some withdrawals
Mind is tighter than a rubber band
Wrapped around a ceiling fan
Never been a kneeling man
Then again never been content but I will not consent
To colonized regiment
Proppin' up governments with bibles unintelligent
Re-print for the masses, relevant to the element of creating social classes
Borders and clashes, orders and masters
But you are Clark Kent without the glasses
Rising through ashes
Community and unity progress through the aggression
Making opportunity to end all this oppression
This sessions and the investment of my moral dedication
Health, Food, and Education's a human right and obligation
So why do we keep waitin'
On a gap of desperation to sweep across the nation
To ensure that we're behavin'
Enslaving us like some cavemen
Through a system ancient
Teaching the children to be laymen
Can I get an Amen (AMEN!)
If you know what I am saying
Enslaving us like some caveman through a system ancient
Teaching the children to be laymen
Can I get an Amen (AMEN!)
If you know what I am saying

If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
You need to ask yourself why you even take it
If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
We need to ask ourselves why we even take it
If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
You need to ask yourself why you even take it
If everyone we know is simply trying to make it
Goddamnit let's just take it

I'll use a sixteen to tell you about a fiend
That caught onto a scheme through a computer screen
Now they're worried about the teens and the information they possess
So they try to regulate our access
Tip them off the axis
Stop paying taxes
No ass kiss from a broadcast list
Gonna show you video of Damascus
If you ask this probably get a re-run
Of some dumb shit from last season breathin
Pollution and chemtrails
Yet they make us fight over gay rights and stem cells
Tent sales are at an all time high
Yet the houseless have never been less dry
Why
Have the camps been destroyed by local PD's systematically deployed
The ones that we avoid and the ones we don't notice
Are the first on the list in the primary focus

If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
You need to ask yourself why you even take it
If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
We need to ask ourselves why we even take it
If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
You need to ask yourself why you even take it
If everyone we know is simply trying to make it
Goddamnit let's just take it

I'll use a sixteen to tell you about a fiend
Raised by the machine now he'll rage against his own being
His own team, is unidentifiable
Scene ran dry no supply minds plyable
One undeniable fact is, we are liable for our actions
My passion to speak and be recorded and hopefully through you one day reported
It's important to note war criminals rewarded
While innocent civilians waterboarded
Contorted and distorted media outlets
Are owned by the worst of criminal outfits
Auschwitz was funded by the same guys
Everything we've known has been backed by
The same lies, same ties that brought you dope, coke, and cola
Stand to profit billions off the spread of Ebola

If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
You need to ask yourself why you even take it
If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
We need to ask ourselves why we even take it
If everyone you know is simply trying to make it
You need to ask yourself why you even take it
If everyone we know is simply trying to make it
Goddamnit let's just take it
