the first time they came to get me for their war They were easy to play I acted dumb and grinned Contrary to what we might assume everybody loves a dummy Cause you aint gotta squint when the lights are dim They read their papers out loud to me I smiled and nodded my head up and down careful not to make a sound They told me when and where im supposed to arrive Never gave a second thought to whether or not I would oblige I imaged the look on their face as they looked At their face of their clocks, tapping their foot as they wait How long would it take to realize I must have skated or got lost on the way before they called it a day Fuck that, im on the other side of the city In a bed breathing heavy with my favourite betty And I'll be damned if im gonna catch a slug for you So I changed my name to slug so that ya'll would never catch me
The second time they found me they wanted to drown me Yes man doesn't like being made into mice Started running their shmeal about love and dedication How I should feel, as if I owe their nation my life ‘look boy' they say, ‘don't you love your freedom?' I told them freedom is a road seldom travelled by the multitudes And I said they were suckers, as I pulled out my mess And started jerking off right there on top of their desk Picture this, me standing their digging my fist Like, what what what? Bought to bust on a nut on their list They cursed and gave me an informal dispersal But im like ‘sir won't you let me get my rocks off first yo?' Its weird how acting like a hype is like being a hype Its just a thin line that separates the two And now my mind likes to walk both sides of the stripe If only I could manifest my fate for the way I do
The third time they came was a charm And I was tired and tried barely hanging from this yarn The last two times I lost my path and my mind What the hell I might as well as loose the farm Take me, make me, train me, break me teach me to hold my anger like a lady Show me the right way to save these babies Throw me into this world that hates me Here I am in a land that don't feel foreign Following a plan, trying to find my portion Still lost and still fondling my foreskin Make me into a man but I still feel like an orphan But I learned how to stand behind a purpose The world is a circus and im a soldier guarding the tent Weapon in hand, I represent and defend my hip hop nation until the end
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the hip hop cultures four elements And to the originality in which it stands the Zulu nation under god Peace love unity and justice for all (x7)
