| Lyrics | Now, once upon a time up on this mic MC's be really workin' on what they write With the sound delight we rock all night And yes we're gonna party for the right to fight We're international like Matt Takei Rock the mic from Munich out to Taipei Still around the way is where we'll stay Say what we mean, mean what we say Trajectories from the past are taking their toll And what we do now is future molding Columbine bowling, childhood stolen We need a bit more gun controlling Right-Right-Now-Now; What is going on? We-We-Gotta-Gotta; Get it goin' on Be-Be-Fore-Fore; It's too far gone We gotta work together it's been too long When I get on you scream, "HOO, TIGHT!" Rockin' this flow I could go all night I'm not here to fight, or incite I'm like the beach in the Bahamas make you feel alright I'm getting kind of tired of the situation The U.S. attacking other nations And narrations, on every station False elation's got me losing my patience Well I'm a funky-ass Jew and I'm on my way And yes I got to say fuck the KKK And oh yeah hey, how about today? If you want to set if off then let me hear you say Right-Right-Now-Now; What is going on? We-We-Gotta-Gotta; Get it goin' on Be-Be-Fore-Fore; It's too far gone We gotta work together it's been too long I went to get a loan and they asked my race I wrote down "HUMAN" inside the space It's a disgrace how they try to debase It ain't the bank's damn business how my lineage trace Now let me drop a verse that's terse and concise I'm an Iron Chef when I slice and dice With the rhyme precise, the word is nice Please pass me the Riunite on ice Well let's go to work and not berserk 'Cause when the time comes the body goes to dirt Try to smooth it out like Levert I keep the mind alert and not revert You might also likeRight-Right-Now-Now; What is going on? We-We-Gotta-Gotta; Get it goin' on Be-Be-Fore-Fore; It's too far gone We gotta work together it's been too long |
