Excuse Me [acoustic] Lyrics - Fire From The Gods

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 Mister officer, come out of my sector 

No need to stress, no need for vex 

Ah, ah, ey 

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 

And 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 Mister officer no need for war 

Trying to drain my energy, but you can't keep me down 

I, I, I, I, I, 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
