Civil
		Is everybody ready?

		Stand Up.	

		Forget everything you think you know
		Right now
		Just let it go...
	
		Get ready to follow me now
		on this funky free flow
		Cause the banks got the power but their money is fake

		These politicians picking my pockets
		then they lie to my face
		They're selling me wars
		Selling me lies
		Selling me genocide
		In the name of the cross
		wrapped up in the flag

		They're selling me lie after lie
		ain't no use denying it
		But this time we ain't buying it

		We ain't buying it

		People ignorant, apathetic and compliant
		And this is how we allow the corruption, the violence
		Our silence divides us but united we defy
		So who will stand, who will fight, who will testify?

		Time to stand up
		Not just to stand up

		Stand up because it's right

		Now maybe you can fool some of the people
		at least some of the time
		but you can never fool all of the people all of the time

		And my mama didn't raise no fool
		So I am gonna stand up tall
		Yeah, I will testify

		Newsman, newsman
		Quit lying to me
		Talking nothing but constant propaganda on your t.v. screen
		You don't scare me
		I ain't believing your lies
		No I will stand
		I will fight
		I will testify

		Stand up
		Not just to stand up
		Stand up because it's right

		And when we stand up they can't with withstand us
		Stand up because it's right

		Stand up

		We're getting bigger, getting harder the farther we go
		We're getting stronger, getting faster the more that we know

		Antagonize us and divide us and they take control
		They try to buy me with the lies
		but I won't sell my soul

		You'll never slow me down, no you can't stop us now
		Vigilante standing up
		Forever
		We ain't backing down

		Know that this is real
		Know that this is right
		Know that you can't take a fucking rebel down without a fight

		This is the defiance
		This is the resistance
		This is why I practice civil disobedience

		Civil Disobedience



Top
		Click.
		Bang.
		Here we go

		The Vigilante has arrived
		so we start the show

		Roll out the red carpet
		Cut the red tape
		Cause the funk is defined
		by the lines we break

		The beats are alive
		The vibe is real
		So stand up and tell me now
		How do you feel?
		Sitting on top of the world, yeah we own it
		Take a minute just to live in the moment

		Bang! I'm up on the front lines
		Bringing the soldiers home
		It's all we need but you've got to believe it now
		Boom! I'm up on the front lines
		Stop! Hey, what's that sound
		We can be free but you got to believe it now

		Hell yeah, freedom, hell yeah.

		Ghosty Boy
		Said I'm a mean machine
		I got the funk style like you can't believe
		I break the beat down and bring the sweet sound with ease
		Bounce like a trampoline
		When you hear these rhythms and feel the vibe
		My rhymes are toxic like cyanide
		I talk sick shit,
		my wick is lit to pop
		like a stick of dynamite

		Boom! I'm up on the front lines
		Bringing the soldiers home
		It's all we need but you've got to believe it now
		Bang! I'm up on the front lines
		Stop! Hey, what's that sound
		We can be free you just got to believe it now

		Let me hear you say....

		

		Hell yeah, freedom.  Hell yeah.





Smoke
Holy
Revolution
		Tick tick tick...
		the clock is ticking...

		...set to detonate...

		I'm a fire igniter
		I'm a riot inciter
		I'm a pyromaniacal prophet with a lighter
		and I got the desire to watch an empire fall

		Fire it up, Fire it up

		Yeah, I've been provoked and I've been deprived
		I got the blood and the soul of Saturn inside me
		Set before sun
		Retribution

		Fire it up, Fire it up

		...and the clock is ticking.....

		The elite are out of their minds and out of control
		Funk V
		Yeah we attack with the style and the soul
		and protect the process or peaceful protest
		
		Fire it up, Fire it up

		But we see
		the status quo is murder and lies
		These elites are out of control and out of their minds
		Then it's up to people to set things right

		Fire it up, Fire it up

		Tick tick tick...
		but the clock is ticking...
		yeah I think it's gonna be....

		...I think it's gonna be a revolution.

		Revolution

		Rebels let me see you put your fists in the sky
		Burn it all tonight, we'll set it all alight

		I'm a fire igniter
		I'm a riot inciter
		I got the soul of a poet
		I got the mind of a fighter
		And if there's one thing I know
		it's that politicians are liars

		Fire it up, Fire it up

		The lie about war
		they lie about peace
		they lie about oil in the middle east

		They tell lies about hell
		and lies about heaven
		You really think they told the truth about 9/11?

		The world is waking up
		to the writing on the wall
		One by one

		Let the light guide you
		Listen to the soul inside you

		Because the truth is in the writing on the wall

		Did you read it?

		It said:

		tick tick tick...
		 the clock is ticking....

		...set to detonate...
		...I think it's gonna be...

		...I think it's gonna be a revolution.

		People let me see you put your fists in the sky
		Burn it all tonight
		We'll light the world on fire

		Rebels let me see you with your fists in the sky
		Fire it up
		A tyrant is gonna die tonight
		The time has come

		Tyrannicide

		...yes, the clock is ticking...


Riot
		Megaphone man
		Put on my top hat
		I step up to the podium

		We interrupt this broadcast
		to bring you a special report
		on the N.W.O.

		We gotta beat it, beat it, beat it
		Resolve to defeat it
		Because they all stand for control

		We're going to rise
		because we know what real freedom is for
		So let's go

		Turn it up.

		This could be the world
		that you read about back in 1984
		Big brother,
		big brother is watching you
		and the police are on patrol

		They're gonna beat it, beat it, beat it
		Too lost to read it
		Because they all stand for control
		We got a right/left
		Right/Left paradigm
		as we march towards the war

		Turn it up.

		Big brother
		Big brother has come to care
		The all-seeing eye
		has come to stare
		The Illuminati
		knows all, controls all and owns all

		Everybody protest in the street

		Fuck the riot police

		Fuck the riot police
