The solo is real fucked up. What you do is slide the pick and your 
fingers up and down the fourth string. Changes in pitch are the result 
of the hand slowing down and speeding.It's kind of like scratching a 
record.

That's it, just those four riffs. Pretty simple huh. Just listen to the 
song for the beat and the order of all the riffs.

-Lyrics-

Quit it now

The microphone explodes shattering the molds 
Either drop the hits like de la o or get the fuck off the comode
Wit tha sure shot
Sure to make the bodies drop drop and don't copy
Yo don't call this a co-op
Terror rains drenchin' quenchin' the thirst of the power dons
That five-sided fist a-gon
Tha rotten sore on the face of Mother Earth gets bigger
The trigger's cold empty ya purse

Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells X4

Weapons no food not homes not shoes not need just feed the war cannibal 
animal I
Walk tha corner to the rubble that used to be a library line up to the 
mind cemetary now
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin 
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells 
Rally round the family 
Pocket full of shells

Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells X4

Bulls on parade (a bunch of times)
