(90s boom-bap, storytelling hardcore rap, west coast,) (Chorus x2): (Call and Response:): (Call:) Who's paying the cost? (Response:) We are. (Call:) Who's feeling the loss? (Response:) We are. Walking through the fire with a face fulla rage Riding out our lives written on a Blood-stained page. (Verse 1:) (The Systemic Cost) A salty sage with a celery stock worth of shit to say/ About the way we live, without a living wage/ I sit and think bout the actual cost of the wars we wage/ And the amount of blood it takes to paint a price tag and attach a face/ to the lives we toss out every day/ I'm not a violent guy, per say/ but, I've spent my entire life assaulting red herrings to taste/ Just punching them in the face, swinging away, ignoring the bait/ They try to lure you to an argumentative irrelevant place, but I refuse to chase/ Yeah, they'd love to have you wrapped up by the State/ handcuffed to a bench at the bank/ for every statement you make/ Move you to the chamber they love to have you gas-lit/ and leave you with absolutely nothing left in the tank, emptied it, drawing blank/ Broken these streets living section eight/ In need of a blessing cuzz they're gonna keep coming atchoo/ (Verse 2:) (The Personal Resistance) Bless you, "Thanks" back atchoo. To attack you with them tanks/ Keep fanning the flames like a fireplace/ Maintain a poker face, while drawing blank across the page/ Like my Uncle and Aunt coming together an Ankh's Ben made/ O.B. 1 who came to clean my blade/ Pull the pin before we play toss the hot potato pineapple game/ Show my hand grenade and single handedly blow away half of what she's ben paid/ I'm weighing out the cost of every decision I've made, Just to keep from being another ghost in this Masquerade/ (Chorus)(x2): (Call and Response:): (Call:) Who's paying the cost? (Response:) We are. (Call:) Who's feeling the loss? (Response:) We are. Walking through the fire with a face fulla rage Riding out our lives written on a Blood-stained page.
Lyrics
(Call:) Who's paying the cost?
(Response:) We are.
(Call:) Who's feeling the loss?
(Response:) We are.
Walking through the fire
with a face fulla rage
Riding out our lives written
on a Blood-stained page.
(Call:) Who's paying the cost?
(Response:) We are.
(Call:) Who's feeling the loss?
(Response:) We are.
Walking through the fire
with a face fulla rage
Riding out our lives written
on a Blood-stained page.
A salty sage with a celery stock
worth of shit to say/
About the way we live, without a
living wage/
I sit and think bout the actual
cost of the wars we wage/
And the amount of blood it
takes to paint a price tag and
attach a face/
to the lives we toss out every
day/
I'm not a violent guy, per say/
but, I've spent my entire life
assaulting red herrings to taste/
Just punching them in the face,
swinging away, ignoring the
bait/
They try to lure you to an
argumentative irrelevant place,
but I refuse to chase/
Yeah, they'd love to have you
wrapped up by the State/
handcuffed to a bench at the
bank/ for every statement you
make/
Move you to the chamber they
love to have you gas-lit/
and leave you with absolutely
nothing left in the tank,
emptied it, drawing blank/
Broken these streets living
section eight/
In need of a blessing cuzz
they're gonna keep coming
atchoo/
Bless you, "Thanks" back atchoo.
To attack you with them tanks/
Keep fanning the flames like a
fireplace/
Maintain a poker face, while
drawing blank across the page/
Like my Uncle and Aunt coming
together an Ankh's Ben made/
O.B. 1 who came to clean my
blade/
Pull the pin before we play toss
the hot potato pineapple game/
Show my hand grenade and
single handedly blow away half
of what she's ben paid/
I'm weighing out the cost of
every decision I've made,
Just to keep from being
another ghost in this
Masquerade/
(Call:) Who's paying the cost?
(Response:) We are.
(Call:) Who's feeling the loss?
(Response:) We are.
Walking through the fire
with a face fulla rage
Riding out our lives written
on a Blood-stained page.
(Call:) Who's paying the cost?
(Response:) We are.
(Call:) Who's feeling the loss?
(Response:) We are.
Walking through the fire
with a face fulla rage
Riding out our lives written
on a Blood-stained page.
