lyrics

Chs:

Stand and pose (x3)
bask in the moment just
Stand and pose (x3)
waive to your fellow citizens.

Vs 1`

-It aint always easy being the good guy, we trying though,
-at^times wondering what are we even trying for
suffering, searching for sustenance^they supplying more.
^
(Suffering),------still we strive for,
^a better balance between our living and our survival,
--a fair chance for our freedom that's what we ride for,
boots straps lifted but mummy wrapped in this blindfold.

Spun me round, spun me round, clouded my judgment,
made me think, made me think I had a say in my government,
made me think I was more than god, and god knows I loved it,
^got knocked down, back to earth, and that's when the sunlit.

That was the rebirth, when I understood my function,
bowed down till my knees hurt, that's when I got some gumption,
So who, SoSoon, I'm Something out of nothing,
I'm so you so when you see me coming,-better

Chs:

Stand and pose (x3)
You know that you deserve this
Stand and pose (x3)
You deserve to be appreciated

Stand and pose (x3)
Bask in the moment
Stand and pose (x3)
Waive to your fellow citizens

Vs 2`

-
-We work to watch the dough pile,^but^you work to knock the dough down,
church is in the wild,--why you think its so loud,
^everything^seems^so fucked up,-but everybody seems so proud.

The cops on the prowl,-shot and pot smoke clouds, (pop^pop)
raise your hand^if^you^ever^had^a^cockroach as your pal,
that's urban warfare to some of us, but some of us have sympathy,
your politics are fucked up,-but at least you see the simile.

These cops think we bugs, they shoot cause they're afraid of me,
these bugs think we cops, lights on they running away from me,
we all one in the same,-we all lack the bravery,
but guess what I've^been^a^slave^once and I aint going back to slavery.

Keep blaming me, keep framing me, put your aim on me to keep aim with me,
-Its mortal kombat, I'm Raiden, this is just rain to me,
So who, SoSoon, Something out of nothing,
I'm so you so when you see me coming better.

Chs:

Stand and pose (x3)
You know that you deserve this
Stand and pose (x3)
You deserve to be appreciated

Stand and pose (x3)
Bask in the moment
Stand and pose (x3)
Waive to your fellow citizens
