about

On this song I come from the perspective of 3 groups of White People who have done irreversible damage to this country: The Army who commited genocide on Native Americans, Abusive Cops, and scheming politicians who dont have the best interests of our Nation at the heart of their actions..
I feel that these people are the reason for much vitriol aimed at modern white Americans, myself included at Times..

lyrics

Power Moves

Its Time to wake up the new day has begun
Its physically changing from the rays of the sun
I pray we all make it through the reign of the drugs
Man I had to say something
Fuck job hunting that’s a waste of my Time
Went the way of the Bison on the 8 to the 5
A changing of the guard
With backup plans of taking over from the start
Befriend em with innocent and changing their heart
I brought the Fire Stick and they all on my Arms
Bringing gifts to ya village women digging the charms
Just because its different
we all sons of bitches once we get a lil Settled in
Yea I brought the sickness but forgot ya medicine
Sharing Firewater and a pipe with my bretheren
Money is the object objections irrelevant
Orders from the president so now its on for Real

Hook

You could’ve just left well enough alone
Man they’ll never believe you but if you tell a soul
Going out like a Hermit dumpin shells for ya home
You knew that I was scheming cuz we smelling our own
Lets keep it my little secret
and kill you with the kindness they taking for a weakness
appearances deceiving
but you know it aint magic when the man is at your cabin
accidents can happen when ya foundation crackin
I’ve been planning with passion
And filling my head with machiavellian captions
The statements on record you could never retract em
Keep it cloak and dagger
Jacob get the drop like the Beasties on a broken Ladder
Focused on my goal to capture
The essence of the shadow forecasted by the light of Sun Zi
Touch is raw in a brush with the law
Body paint the town red the Art of War

Hook

We building pyramids the poor keep slaving
Keep moving bricks keep em free basing
We the free masons you need an Ivy League educaton
To climb up the walls that we making
Trust.. we having fun we trust fun babies
And everyone hates me
But when Im in the Senate I aint given a fuck
I never really had intentions of getting nothing done
Pork barrel and Philibust so pigs get bigger guns
and we get the kids that’s hittin blunts
skimming on ya budgets Plus I got Plans
beyond the comprehension what u thinkin what is far
white flight and light speed shooting for the stars
stopping off at Moon and Mars
tired of wars over God and living large
a whole race takin blame for prison guards
man this shit is absurd and isn’t deserved ask Nicholas Berg
