[Verse 1: Time]
This is straight from the heart call me MC artery
Thinking bout some real shit eyes looking watery
Never let them leak though, Denver’s like a freak show
2 shots fired out my window like some free throws
I’m tired of feeling poor, I’m tired of eating ramen
I’m tired of all the war, propaganda, and bombing
When I’m broke I’m frustrated, when I’m broke I wanna drink
When I’m broke I can’t think, I just want to rob a bank
I’m trying to keep it positive, I’m writing out my honesty
I’m a rare thing to rap, like monogamy and modesty
What’s a pyramid to a mountain? An ocean to a fountain
How many lies have I told, I don’t know I stopped counting
I’m real like dirty dishes in the sink for 2 days
You fake like a CEO's smile and a toupee
My thoughts are deep cause I came from the bottom
If you have dreams you should chase them if you got em
[Hook: Time]
If you work everyday break the state
If you don't make a living wage break the state
If everyday there's more debt break the state
If they arrest you at the protest break the state
If there's drones over your home break the state
If they foreclose on your loan break the state
If you want to make change, break the state
We got to break the state, before it's too late
[Verse 2: Time]
I am not a commie, I'm awake, I'm a realist
I am a truthist, an anti-imperialist
I am not perfect, come make mistakes with me
I think my phone's tapped, the NSA is chasing me
I was born in America, land of paranoia
Where if you fight the state, propaganda will destroy ya
Kids join the army for their educational goals
But doesn't killing others uneducate the soul?
The elite eat caviar as bodies explode
And like a sweatshop they don't reap what they sew
The state is homophobic cause the state is religious
That's why they used the bible to slaughter the indigenous
It ain't man vs. nature, it's money vs. everything
Greed gave Mother Nature a radioactive wedding ring
Old mother's dying we're almost out of time
So watch me disappear like Palestine
[Hook: Time]
If you work everyday break the state
If you don't make a living wage break the state
If everyday there's more debt break the state
If they arrest you at the protest break the state
If there's drones over your home break the state
If they foreclose on your loan break the state
If you want to make change, break the state
We got to break the state, before it's too late
[Verse 3: Time]
If voting changed anything it would be illegal
Word to Emma Goldman don't vote for lesser evils
It's not an election it's just an auction
The winner goes to the corporation that bought them
Politics is in the streets, vote with a protest
Occupy rap, pedagogy of the oppressed
Provocateurs everywhere I've seen it more than once
But like Oscar said true friends stab you in the front
I don't eat death so I don't eat meat
But there's suicide genes in the soy and the wheat
Break the state and don't replace it with another one
Cause the president's just an ego with another gun
I'm not preaching or whining I'm talking about apocalypse
Put your faith in you, not theatrical politics
This ain't man vs. god or man vs. machine
The real enemy is us the nature of human beings
