[Intro]
The thing is
The tactical task to breathe fire has now been issued
Good to go?
You will breathe fire day in and day out for the next two months
You will breathe fire in your sleep
You will feel fatigue
You will feel fear
You will feel happiness
You will feel regret
You will feel sadness
At he end of the day, you will continue to breathe fire
Good to go?
[Verse 1: Gabe 'Nandez]
Semi-automatic rifle, semi-loaded clips
Saw him quote a Bible passage, letting off the stick
Adam's knuckle, plasma trickling down the sewer pipes
Star-spangled bannеr hang around the viewer snipе
Child soldier, bloodshot eyes through the rifle scope
Fratricide, it get hot outside from the lightning bolts
After five, when the night come out of the striking clothes
Pantomimes in the back of the alley, they drink the viper slow
Half the time, I ain't even paying attention
Been an outcast, had that contraband in detention
In and out fast, proxy operations in cyberspace
Antioxidants for your body dropping, you're wide awake
Sliding over the white lotus, the tiger spoke
And the shadow approaching, don't see the tigers' coat
Venus and Mercury's sun in retrograde
Michelin tire around the liar's neck with the petrol flame
Rome wasn't built in a day, it only burnt in six
A-bombs, rockets, grenades, some folks'll murder kids
The green berets, GIs, pop people, purple hearts
Invade your backyard property like a work of art
Wasn't science, kill of em, do it quick as fuck
When the news camera would show up just let us choose the cuts, cut
Don't show 'em the viles
You fuck with the big dogs, won't make it to trial
The genocide will be televised 'til it's normalized
The quota rised, immortalized in the oil price
That's just the way it goes
Blow you back half a century and you just paved the roads, woah
Scary hours, you better love yourself
I don't believe in death anyway, I just come from hell
Yeah, this shit was a cake walk
I'm off of four cactuses, cracking the AWOL
[Verse 2: billy woods]
Born into this, I don't need a sponsorship
All that, "Kill the rich," that's the easy shit
I'm not impressed, but I can admit
Once you put him in the ground, everybody spirits lift
Funny how that works, a feature, not a bug
All of this when all y'all really needed was a hug
Niggardly
When it's time to spread the love, white man fidgety
You already know it's a dub
Death on the dance floor, getting sturdy
Lobby of the dance floors, it's still no mercy
Jonah in the belly of an AC-130
Ahab crashing out in a wave cap
Turkey and pepperjack
Your heroes is ready
Coffee with the flag
Road with thick gas, coffin on the nag
Impish infidel, perfume soaked the rag
Chloroform on the pillow, best sleep I ever had
The thing is
The tactical task to breathe fire has now been issued
Good to go?
You will breathe fire day in and day out for the next two months
You will breathe fire in your sleep
You will feel fatigue
You will feel fear
You will feel happiness
You will feel regret
You will feel sadness
At he end of the day, you will continue to breathe fire
