Gas Lyrics

No revolutionary gets old
Being a revolutionary is a young person's game, but some are able to continue their activism as they age.

Or so I'm told
The singer has heard this statement before, but doesn't necessarily believe it to be true.

You're left full of bullet-holes
Revolutionaries are often killed for their beliefs.

When you tell the people go free
Revolutionaries fight for the freedom of their people.

Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me
The artist knows they are a target and that their time is running out.

I heard gunshots rang
The singer has heard gunshots, signaling danger.

His bullet got my name
The singer knows they are specifically targeted for assassination.

I ain't see him take aim
The artist didn't see who fired the shot.

I dreamt this day came
The artist knew that their activism would likely lead to their death or assassination.

'Cause I stood in the face of damnation
The artist has defied the corrupt powers that be and may pay for it with their life.

Satan, spat at him, flat out disgraced him
The singer refuses to be intimidated or backed down by the oppressive ruling class.

He want my blood; why me?
The artist questions why they are being specifically targeted for assassination.

Why not the fake ones who deserve death, man
The singer believes that corrupt politicians and leaders should be targeted instead of them.

Fuck it, I'll take one
The singer has resigned themselves to their eventual death and is willing to be a martyr for their cause.

Can stop me but can't stop a whole nation
The singer knows that their death will not stop the movement they have inspired.

Of millions who feel you deceived them
The artist believes that the ruling class has lied to and exploited the people they were meant to serve.

They believing reparation makes it even
The artist believes that reparations for historical injustices are necessary for social justice.

So I'm deadly now because of one reason
The singer is seen as a threat to the oppressive systems in place.

They listening
The people are paying attention to what the singer has to say.

In Budapest, Japan, China, and Switzerland
The artist's message has spread far and wide.

We getting it in, son
The movement is gaining strength and momentum.

Another bullet passed by--missed me
The artist has narrowly avoided assassination once again.

Wondering who plotting to get me
The singer is constantly aware of the threats against them.

Alphabet boys still plotting against me
The government is still trying to silence the artist.

To hush me up and stuff me in the pockets of history
The government wants to erase the singer and their message from history.

You won't remember why they came to clip me
The singer fears that the true reason for their assassination will be forgotten or covered up.

When time go by, you'll soon forget me
The singer knows that they will be forgotten over time, but hopes their message will live on.

They say he was the king of bling, jewels, and Bentley's
The artist is aware that some will only remember them for their material possessions.

Then they use one of my lines just to prove I'm guilty
The artist's words can be twisted and used against them by the ruling class.

Don't let them kill me
The singer is pleading with their followers to protect them from assassination.

Some revolutionaries do live long

Am I one of them? Guess we'll know in due time
The artist is unsure if they will live to an old age or die young.

Everybody has rights, can I use mine?
The artist questions if they have the right to free speech and activism.

Can I rock shine? Can I have a girl that's too fine?
The artist wonders if they can enjoy material possessions without sacrificing their activism.

Got a swell life, tell me, will I lose mine?
The singer fears that their comfortable life will be sacrificed for their activism.

Every time I turn around somebody new dying
The death toll of the oppressed is constantly rising.

Let's start living
The singer calls for action and living life to its fullest despite the danger.

Ala carte escargot, Escobar, invest my millions
The singer enjoys the finer things in life, but is also willing to use their wealth for their cause.

Mansion for the wife, the rest for the children
The singer wants to provide for their family, but also for their community.

Knowing that they coming any time, but until then
The artist is aware of the threat to their life, but will continue their activism until they are killed.

I'm at large until they shoot me
The artist will not be silenced or intimidated by the ruling class.

Million dollar stones and my camouflage Gucci
The singer enjoys fashion and material possessions, but is not afraid to call out inequality and oppression.

Giving you this crack like Pookie

Or you can march on with us
