The oath


You join the rebel movement now you speaking to the leader
The system don't like me the system don't like your ass either
The color of your skin don't matter to them you are not equal
If you aren't part of the 1% then you are not 'We, The People'
They actin' like they like you but you cannot join the party (2x)
You poor and dying on the ground that ambulance is tardy
You rich and dying on the ground they give you a brand new body

These cold-hearted bastards killing children on they leisure
These bastards keep they heart locked up in a cryogenic freezer
They out here drunk with power hanging people till they seizure
They out here having orgy's going both ways just like Cesar
They out here burning money you could have used to feed your family
They laughing at people starving to death here in the Valley
You protest and they tell them robots "go shoot up the rally!"
Till I'm fighting a man with a sign in his hand, he dead up in the alleyz

If you tired of this shit, then let us take an oath
Said if you tired of this shit then let us take an oath (2x)
If you tired of this shit let us take an oath
Now put one hand in the air
Put one hand in the air (3x)
Throw them middle fingers up (4x)
[Now, jump up and down
Now, jump up and down
Now, jump up and down
Now, jump up and down] (4x)

If you break it down I said you join the rebel movement now you speaking to the leader
The system don't like me the system don't like your ass either
You got to de-program and unlearn everything they teach you
They treat you like a puppet then say "fuck you!" and they don't need you
We go and fight their wars then come home it's a damn shame
They got us on the side of the road begging for spare change
While they in the safety of their home, sipping on champagne
We about to make the tables turn, that's on everything

If you tired of this shit, then let us take an oath
Said if you tired of this shit then let us take an oath (2x)
If you tired of this shit let us take an oath
Now put one hand in the air
Put one hand in the air (3x)
Throw them middle fingers up (4x)
[Now, jump up and down
Now, jump up and down
Now, jump up and down
Now, jump up and down] (4x)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
