Che che che che che che che
Che che che che che che che che

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

That's right ...yo

Gorilla warfare
We're tearing shit apart at the seams
Or so it seems
Yall forgot about the dreams
Of a man and his mission
Switched up to bending over backwards...
And a whole lot of ass kissing

Once upon a genocide
Trilogy of terror
Rapid fire can't erase the era
A man stood his ground not black but proud
Cia on the prowl bloooouuuuwwwww.

Everybody wanna be the boss
Everybody wanna go to heaven
Everybody wanna be the boss
But nobody wants to die
Nobody wanna pay the cost
Everybody wanna be the piper
From my soul I feel divorced
And all I can say is hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Say che ......let me hear you say.....che
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Say che ......let me hear you say.....che

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Does anybody hear me can anybody hear me yea......

I got them blisters on my feet
Cause my boots too tight
My eyes blood shot red
Cause my ass been up all night
Watching shadows...don't nothing move
If it do it's through
Especially if it's wearing
Red white and blue

Let hear say
When you say it
Why you sayin it
When to play it
How to phrase it
Let me hear you say

Multi national corp
Souls park in ports
Wars fought wit u.s tax support
Thermo scopes guns for dope
No false alarms
Trading guns for bombs
Judas factor exactly what I thought
Revolutionary can't get caught
4th down last play
My physical degree be that of che

Part of the
The worlds frustration will flow thru me
Together we shall reign supreme on all that try
And conquer us.

The man one of the men , conquistadors
See them tremblin
In dem timberlands
Take dem guns away
And let the big boys play
And lets see who comes up
At the end of the day
Never been an uncle sam lover
Never been an uncle tom brother
Never got a rolling stone cover
Saw them take your name
In the name of spain
That's insane

Everybody wanna be the boss
Everybody wanna go to heaven
Everybody wanna be the boss
But nobody wants to die
Nobody wanna pay the cost
But everybody wanna be the piper
From my soul I feel divorced
And all I can say is hey hey hey

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Say che ......let me hear you say.....che........... say hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

Come on
Revolutionary now
One two the two




Never never never
