Culture of Fear |
| Seems to me like they want us to be afraid, man |
| Or maybe we just like being afraid |
| Maybe we just so used to it at this point that it’s just a part of us |
| Part of our culture |
| Security alert on orange |
| It’s been on orange since '01 G |
| I mean what’s up man |
| Can’t a brother get yellow man |
| Just for like two months or something |
| God damn |
| Sick o' that |
| Mic check |
| The groove is dead so I’m a rhyme like a lunatic |
| I do this shit with an unassuming wit |
| The corporation conjured up the bass and the tempo |
| My name is Liff, that’s the intro, now let’s go |
| The flow of life throwing strife into the mix |
| The big dark condition and the word is sick |
| The powers that be |
| A power in me |
| To speak a cause |
| Stress and strife that I see every day |
| And more to speak upon |
| Culture of fear |
| It’s up in your ear |
| They’re telling us terrorists about to strike |
| May be tonight |
| Right |
| Let me just back up slowly |
| With critical analysis of those who control me |
| It used to be we just had a screen in the crib |
| On the TV |
| But now we carry screens when we leave see |
| Laptops smart phones now we’re never alone |
| A new affliction I call it media dome |
| But on the road famine is the programming |
| You want to watch a favorite show because it’s so slamming |
| Hold hands and let’s gaze into the beautiful glare |
| While we’re here so immersed in this culture of fear |
| We fear the IRS, fear the INS |
| Fear God |
| I’m more afraid of the credit card than the terror squad |
| Weapons overseas |
| Mastercard and visa want to buy me the greed |
| They deceive |
| The enemy is in the fine print |
| They assassinate sally |
| With no sense of the selling |
| Represent an element ahead |
| A sentiment that you feel on the road for real |
| The deal starts with a spark concludes with a hand shake |
| Physical to alter the subliminal landscape |
| Relief thinking I can really trust that guy |
| To be honest could have should have really punched that guy |
| Now it’s operation shank a banker |
| Thank you for the loan |
| See you when you come to repossess my home |
| Alone at night sweating with visions of Armageddon |
| I never seen the threat |
| Yet I feel threatened |
| Parts of our society designed to smear |
| Freedom don’t succumb to this culture of fear |
| Fear fear fear |
| Don’t succumb to this culture of fear |
| Fear fear fear |
| Don’t succumb to this culture of fear |
