Revelations Don't stop keep on Sunshine Ecstatic Flaco Boogieman Standing in the sun getting black as I want You playing good man that ain't backing me up Sky woke a baby ain't no jackin my hem I got a whole lot to say so I ain't talking to them I hear knees dropping I turn it up louder Black freedom black genius black power Black ink for printing the black dollar Until I see C-I-A I say now what? And cc: is central bank Loose change body slamming big money tanks We tell god thanks Ya'll tellin us god don't rank that's why your breath stank Yuck Lay off the bacon and smokes Quit laying off the good working folks quit the hoax And lay off the corny color jokes Con chilly populate the colors they won't Ya big dope Yuck Keep them out your face keep em in your prayers Either that keep em in the cross hairs Better still keep a even dose of each cause until you get justice You won't get peace peace peace peace peace peace The gun shot say ba ba da day ba da da day ba da da da da da day ay! They shout peace peace peace They shout peace peace peace The firefight lit ba ba da day ba da da day ba da da da da da day ay Rumors and rumors and rumors of war can I get better now what is that for And more Rumors and rumors and rumors of war killers just killing now what they kill for And more Rumors and rumors and rumors of war can I get better now what is that for And more Rumors and rumors and rumors of war Revelations Don't stop keep on
