Excuse Me

Look what I've found, come get down

It's that revolution sound

Call it second emancipation

Break these chains and let me out

It's not violence I'm on about

But riot boots still hit the ground

Lower the gun put down the whip

Take a step back hear me out

I am fanatic, employ guerilla tactics

Open up this lyrical automatic

And put holes in your rhetoric

It's archaic, kind of chaotic, almost barbaric

But yet you stand and you swear by it

And I've been readily

Steadily waiting for a chance to resist

The devil is a liar, topple the empire

Blood sweat tears and desire

I put my heart into this

Never forget I'm a soldier

I will not be conquered

I can't walk this road forever

And I can't forget the past

My soul is under pressure

And it's killing me

It's destroying me within

My need for emancipation

My soul is under pressure

And it's killing me

Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness

Equality and justice for all

Now you know you lying

You on that shotgun philosophy

Celebrate the tragedy

Build an effigy high to

The heavens to remind me and blind me

Turn the whole world into my enemy

Control my destiny and drain all my energy

It's insane to me

Got the whole nation sedated and medicated

A testimony to the violence

Yet you still give me that ghetto education

Basically priming me to feed me

To the prison industry

I see all of the cowards, the greed

The need to hold control over me

Break these chains, end the power

I'd rather you give back what you stole from me

I can't walk this road forever

And I can't forget the past

My soul is under pressure

And it's killing me

It's destroying me within

My need for emancipation

My soul is under pressure

And it's killing me

Excuse me Mr. officer, come out of my sector

No need to stress, no need for vex

Yo, excuse me your honor, fuck the drama

No apologies, I save that for my mama

Take my name off of the docket

Drop all these charges

All it took was a spark

All it took was a catalyst

Martin said it best

I live a life with no violence

So I speak up, no longer silent

I begin to see

My third eye is opening

My resolve is strengthening

I yearn to be free

I can't walk this road forever

And I can't forget the past

My soul is under pressure

And it's killing me

It's destroying me within

My need for emancipation

My soul is under pressure

And it's killing me

Excuse me mr. officer no need for war

Trying to drain my energy

But you can't keep me down

I can't walk this road forever

And I can't forget the past

My soul is under pressure

But it won't kill me
