Guns Are Drawn Lyrics - The Tipping Point - The Roots

Yeah it would be cool it could be too 

Stop Running round in circles off of what we fuel 

Living a lie eventually believing it's true 

A lot of people here for us one could be you 

It's outrageous and they just ain't nothing 

But save us an ocean of brown fists in various flavors 

A favor for a favor man, this is the majors 

Tell me what you would do with no phone or pagers 

No Kinko's, no Fed Ex and no ATM's 

What you gon' do when the police state begin 

Well it already began but I guess it depends on what's really going on 

what's happening, huh 

Military target practicing 

They finna write another Patriot act again 

The days is short the nights is long 

The fight goes on 

The pistols and the pipes are drawn

(Hook:) 

The middle of the night 

We fight like barbarians 

In sight of the former might 

You might think that it's a waste 

Of our time 

And I think you would be right 

Till he drop that rhyme 

(Repeat) 

Photos 

And some might say that it's a waste of time 

Cause ain't no amount of dancing finna break the bondage 

We go to war and transcend space and time 

When every record ain't a record just to shake behinds 

You know the stakes is high we in the face of drama 

That's why we can't shake it or escape the problem 

Its like a game of roulette the barrel revolving 

They only wanna see us occupying a coffin 

Mothers crying too often from they lost child leaving 

From trying to get over, get under, get even 

Get inside getting, getting dumped, getting greedy 

We got to get it right 

It ain't about to be easy 

You better pull you goggles up, it's about to get greasy 

Believe it's on as long as we can still speak freely 

Pages of my life would make it hard to read me 

I know my people hearing me, holler if y'all need me 

(Repeat Hook)
