lyrics

Hey, what’s up, it’s Gatt Meania, The rapper from another planet
Where what I’m doing right now is totally not weird at all
Now, I’m not quite sure how I got here, but if you think this world is crappy
Lemme tell you about where I come from

The whole entire planet’s just an evil machine, Our rulers worship death and deny reality
They’ve put a system in place that’s meant to keep us down
Until each and every face has been replaced with a frown
How did they do it, and why’s it this way?, Many people ask themselves this every day
No matter which way we try to overcome, All of these efforts, they come undone

Now, you’d think that the mandate to rule would be, like, contingent
Upon some manner of public acceptance or something
But apparently, they just find another way to avoid providing any protections
So we’re all out here wondering how we’re gonna get through yet another day
While some jerk’s thinking how it would benefit them to just put us away

These deceitful politicians are all complete liars, They take all our blood then they set it on fire
Seems like all it’d take is some creativity, But every test has shown us that they are all cronys
Cuz, the people up on top got this insidious plan
Where everyone is under them and they are the man
We all just go along with it, what can we do?
Suppose that’s why I’m here, let me tell you

These corrupt cops are total cowards, the ones that do good have been disempowered
All our laws are fiscal classism in disguise
Seems so attractive to a fascist type of guy
That wants to stand on your neck, denying you the respect
Of looking you in the eye when he’s killing you
They go for their gun when they’re scared of a child, will we ever stop adding to the murder pile?
They lie and they steal and they plant and they deal
And they can’t seem to feel for anyone but themselves, everyone else they disregard
It’s almost like we’re partly responsible
For the rampage they’ve brought upon our neighborhoods

I don’t owe an apology to anyone that means to victimize someone else
I call it something else
I don’t live in a fallacy, just a vulnerable community of people placed at risk
By you
