Under The Storm Lyrics

Its complicated, up to my knees in it
And I pray please kill it, but it won't go
So frustrated, I fell asleep dreaming
Just as the clouds clear, I wake up under the storm

It's blood red, the streets run with no cause
Quick dash for quick cash, no pause
Round here, find a little rope
Throw it in the sky, you can catch a little hope

And that's real in effect
Because that money seems to make a man, feel some respect
So tell me who's spreading the butter?
Because I'm trying to make bread, but I'm stuck in the gutter

But they say its just a matter of time
Every Friday morning, about a quarter to nine
When I'm, standing in line, bide my time
For that, one job, that their claiming is mine

And if it don't come, then I'll say that its fine
Knowing that it's straight back, to just writing this rhyme
No change in my pocket, not a penny or dime
Just a fucked up economy, declining with time

Its complicated, up to my knees in it
And I pray please kill it, but it won't go
So frustrated, I fell asleep dreaming
Just as the clouds clear, I wake up under the storm

We built this from nothing, tell me I'm wrong
You get showered with it, under the storm
We fight for this war, understand the cause
Rewrite the whole chapter, and change the laws

So let the battle proceed, the greed we can't stand
Fuck your plan, I'm a one man band
I don't need shit, not one mans hand
If life is a beach, I'll dance in the sand

Lets make it clear, believe that I can man
Any beat or verse, I will rip it while I handstand
Chain me up, or shackle and beat
I don't fall with the weak, I march on my feet

Never tell tall tails, when I'm screaming on a beat
So I'm aiming for the charts, but they feel it in the street
Same reason that they see me and they beep
When there cruzin' in their jeep or there running in their fleet

Its complicated, up to my knees in it
And I pray please kill it, but it won't go
So frustrated, I fell asleep dreaming
Just as the clouds clear, I wake up under the storm

We were bred for this war, shackled and beat
Watched the weak fall, we arose to our feet
Entertained the crowd, dominated the stage
In truth, we ain't nothing but puppets in a cage

Dignity gone, self respect lost
Warned before, that this would come at a cost
When every fight dawns, and it could be your last
A suspect reflection, draws over your past

Battle commences, bombard the toms
Gun shot sounds, play rhythm to the songs
Warriors advance, tread new ground
We mast flags on land we found

Under siege, the Calvary pulls near
Militant force is replaced by fear
Men turn boys, as they hound us down
But we stand tall, to guard our crown
