Lyrics
======

--------------------------------------------------------\   
Born with insight and a raised fist                      \  
A witness to the slit wrist                               \ 
As we move into '92                                        \
Still in a room without a view                              |
Ya got to know                                              |
Ya got to know                                              | 
That when I say go, go, go                                  |
Amp up and amplify                                          |
Defy                                                        | 
I'm a brother with a furious mind                            \
Action must be taken                                          \ Part 3
We don't need the key                                         / ======
We'll break in                                               /
                                                            |
Something must be done                                      | 
About vengence, a badge and a gun                           |
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system     |  
I was born to rage against 'em                              |
                                                            |
Fist in ya face, in the place                              / 
And I'll drop the style clearly                           /
Know your enemy                                          /   
--------------------------------------------------------/ 

-------------------------------------------------------\
Word is born                                            \ 
Fight the war, fuck the norm                             \ 
Now I got no patience                                     |
So sick of complacence                                    |
With the D E F I A N C E                                  |
The mind of a revolutionary                               |
So clear the lane                                          \
The finger to the land of chains                            > Part 5
What? The land of the free?                                /  ======
Whever told you that is your enemy                        |    
                                                          |  
Something must be done                                    |
About vengence, a badge, and a gun                        | 
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system   |
I was born to rage agaisnt 'em                           /
                                                        /
                                                       /

Now action must be taken-----------------------------/                        
We don't need no key  ------------\     
We'll break in                     > Without instruments

I've got no patience now                        |
So sick of complacence now                      |
I've got no patience now                         \  Part 6
So sick of complacence now                       /  ======
Sick of sick of sick of sick of sick of you     |   
Time has come to pay                            |    
-----------------------------------------------/

-------------------------------------------------\
Yes I know my enemies                             |
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me     \
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission,   > Part 8
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite         /  ======
All of which are American dreams                  |
