Brutal Equation

Lyrics

Yo Pistel, activate the bass [Verse 1] One final time Make a beat for a society in decline Those who want us suppressed will try to make this my last report But it won't be cut short You need to know why this project failed Why the forces of weakness prevailed And that we're all trapped in this vicious cycle I get on the phone to my friend Michael His theory's called Hiphoprisy And ours is based on the culture industry Keeping the public distracted Paralizing the artists' potential impact While the fascist elite accumulate all the wealth And me and my posse sit and ponder our health Which is failing, just like our career But at that moment our hardness has never been so severe You can see our career go down the toilet But no industry slime is gonna spoil it Then you won't question my conviction You'll know music's a contradiction Where everybody loses, no win situation Brutal Equation [Chorus] Brutal Equation [Verse 2] Yeah, used to be young like you but look where that got me Blink once and now I got a family That I can't provide for I get no support Fascists shoot us down for sport But living hand-to-mouth on wellfare, that's absurd No one can sustain this (Word!) Your living condition's unacceptable You gotta make a value change fundamental And wake up and exhibit some maturity And that still don't give you no job security You can say "What do you do?" I can tell your whole life is collapsing around you Don't tell me you're anxiety-ridden I know the symptoms, the pain is still hidden Looking at a world of alienation With no explanation Brutal Equation [Chorus] Brutal Equation Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru Brutal Equation [Verse 3] Yo people! This ain't no job, it's a mission And we don't give a fuck about recognition They can't censor us with their threats of psychological war of attrition Being a commodity is weak But it might be our last chance to speak Trying to get a single point accross Yet too often the message is lost Meanwhile, the industry continues to grind out the cheeze whiz If that ain't censorship, I don't know what is What can you do when you're too old and too Caucasian? Brutal Equation [Chorus] Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru Brutal Equation [Verse 4] This is why your family will starve You can't pay your rent so you die in your ride Lose your credibility and clout Too much self-doubt to get out What are you gonna do to change this violent situation? I don't know, Brutal Equation [Chorus] Brutal Equation [Verse 5] Yeah, anyone can turn politics into exchange The point however is to change We don't play that female degredation And we won't buy into that exploitation Not to get our record played on some radio station Word, Brutal Equation [Chorus] Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru Brutal Equation ("Brutal equation!") Brutal Equation Bru-Brutal, Bru-Brutal, Bru-Brutal Brutal Equation Living in a world of anger and frustration Brutal equation [?] isolation Brutal equation [?] desperation Brutal equation This business is [?] exploitation Brutal equation [?] for the nation Brutal equation [?] my confection [?] it's a contradiction [?] situation Brutal equation
