TWO OF CLUBS: WITH LOVE AND RAGE

Die Alive

[Verse 1: Bigg Higg]

I breathe life into my verse
It’s like watching a woman give birth
Like planting seeds in the earth
I’m still serene and secure in my worth
While the bombs and the bullets from the guns still burst
Because the people live cursed
Indigenous tribes banished from the lands that they once called home
Most people still scared of the new and unknown
I raise my black flag high for all of those killed
Sacco, Vanzetti, Magon, Durruti, Brad Will
Haymarket Martyrs, Spaniards in thirty six
Russians in 17, damn Bakunin predicted it
Knowing the state can crush us all in an instant
But we stand strong, thrive on persistence
Paying homage to the dead and their wisdom
All the beautiful souls who rot in prison
Who never saw the freedom that they died for
Who never could reach the goals that they strived for
When standing strong on the concrete, I do it for them
All the oppressed and the beaten down do it for them
All this death and destruction, we need it to end

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

I got a feeling we gon’ die tonight
I know I really wanna die tonight
I got a feeling we alive tonight
I know I wanna feel alive tonight
I got a feeling we gon’ die tonight
I know I really wanna die tonight
I got a feeling we alive

[Verse 2: The Human Animal]

I’m through with it all the drama and the bullshit
Consider me aborted, something you can’t afford to lose
In whose shoes I walk is not yours
I talk with your voice but not with your words
I’m worthless, a love you can’t purchase
A house made of gold but the home is unfurnished
A lesson learned so no more can you hurt us
The verdicts in and the only one i trust is me
And not you, you bit off more than you could chew
So far from the life you knew
From those two little words “I do”
I didn’t, I tried, I lied, I did it, I’m a sinner
Shit I wonder if it’s even in you
To understand the pain that I been through
Being betrayed by the hero you look up to
My worst nightmare come true
Not being able to say I love you

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

I got a feeling we gon’ die tonight
I know I really wanna die tonight
I got a feeling we alive tonight
I know I wanna feel alive tonight
I got a feeling we gon’ die tonight
I know I really wanna die tonight
I got a feeling we alive

Sheep

[Verse 1: The Human Animal]

I’m pulp fiction, vulture kings pawns and pigeons
The quickest in this shit kicking a funky ass composition
No competition, we measure dicks by the caliber
Cannabis by the brick and enemies by their stamina
We out of land but see the family well fed
A weatherman running wit ammonia and lemonheads
A known provoker, chain smoke clit stroker
Lower city dope seller to the stock brokers
Hold your breath I set fires in every city now
State town heavily shelled we underground like
Hell’s elevators, sky scraping the rain black
Metal jaguar, city syndicated rap
Instrumental combat, we burn at full contact
Direct action, a fraction ain’t down but we gon’ ration
Oil and food hidden with weapons in stash houses
A safe haven blacked out up in the mountains

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

The sheep are assets, but they need access
Why you think they’re paying Facebook them fat checks
$580 for MySpace, they’re enterprising
FBI on my line and profiling

[Verse 2: Bigg Higg]

Some days I wonder what the weather’s like underground
Envision cities that I once knew with bombs all around
Explosions in their offices and government buildings
Notes left at the scene, condemning their killings
Instilling fear in their eyes which they hide behind masks
As the pigs attack the innocent with guns and gas
Corporate windows smashed, molotovs torch cruisers
We fin a turn the capital into a scene from Fallujah
Pacifism spells privilege, I know what we’re facing
Rather be on the run than at home staying patient
I can’t fucking take it, this five year holocaust
Dreams of homemade bombs and aiming the sawed off
Cause this war will be ended only when we choose to end it
Peaceful protests are meaningless, let’s stop pretending
Break free from false conceptions, we’ll do more good than harm
Come together little weathermen, take up arms

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: The Human Animal]

I free the market and fuck it just like a virgin
Our brain dead but our bodies keep working
A bed of dirt underground in nests
Where mothers cry with their child duct taped to their chest
Selling recipes, whatever you want I got
Exotic animals and different types herbicidal crops
I got yellow fever, diseased rodents, and plagues
That I feed to wolves before I let them loose out the cage
See I never hesitate or hold my tongue
Or pay taxes to manufacture bombs and guns
When in the long run, they gon’ be used on me
Already being watched by these CCTVs
Hidden cameras in the lamppost watch the street
Web cams in the bedroom to watch you sleep
Satellites in the sky, third eye of the state
Sophisticated search patterns and behavioral traits

[Chorus]

Kill People

[Verse One: The Human Animal]

We in and out, riot squad claiming crowd control
We got our Timbs laced stay up in the cut like nymphos
I pimp rap like a Freddie Mac loan
Like it wasn’t accidental home sweet home was stolen
Shit, welcome to the green zone
Where the ignorant die slow
And everybody sleeps with their eyes open
Domed out while the home get tapped
We nailing fabric to the windows and trigger-rigging the thermostats
Tunnel rats, metal casket subways
They packed like cattle but they smell like ashtrays
Where everyday a different shade of gray
And arsenic in the puddles where the children play
Modern slavery, these little guinea pig kids
Thought I could be medicated but my flow too sick
Losing my grip wondering if we gon’ see tomorrow
Watching them bury bodies underneath the aisles at Wal-mart

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

War is not real, war is not real
You are a hero, you are a hero
These are not people, these are not people
They are pure evil, they are pure evil

[Verse Two: Bigg Higg]

The magician slid a rabbit out his hat, imagine that
Facts based in fantasies, fabricate another stat
Bring it back to slide of hands, fictionalize history
As the magic club fraternity keeps us from the mystery
So if the medium is owned by an order which makes gains
From the falsities of stories which only bring us more pain
Then they ought to be ignored by all of us who maintain
In the struggle for survival as they bind us with chains
On the brain, on the ankle, is it much of a change?
Seems strange we’ve fought for so long with little to claim
As advancements, they been taking back since the 80’s
I was born in the leviathan in 1984 baby
Reaganomics regressing like plate tectonics, depressing
The inner city griots who’d spit the message and the lesson
The essence is still magic, poli-tricks ain’t really real
We never gonna win the game if we let the master deal

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

War is not real, war is not real
You are a hero, you are a hero
These are not people, these are not people
They are pure evil, they are pure evil

Outbreak

[Verse One: Bigg Higg]

Listen to your President he wants the best for you
Listen to your masters they will tell you what to do
Don’t resist their orders or they’ll place you in a cage
Make you work in slavery and waste away your days
Throw you in a jail cell, pit of despair
Like throwing on a uniform and cutting your hair
Are you a rebel or a slave? either way we’re all doomed
Marching to their orders, as they order into tombs
Boom go the big bombs they’re dropping on the people
Killing all the foreigners cause foreigners are evil
They’ll kill you if you’re Jewish and they’ll kill you if you’re black
They’ll kill you if you reside in a fiction called Iraq
Capitalists kill communists, communists kill anarchists
Empires kill millions, making trillions off damages
Now the blood on my gas mask is all I can see
Lying dying on the desert floor, I’m all I can be

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

I only killed one or two Iraqis
Now I’m catching visions that they’re shooting at me
Somebody tell me how to heal this shit
Dear lord I can’t deal with this
I only killed one or two kids
Now I’m popping pills but it’s useless
Somebody wake me the dream is dead
I can’t sleep seeing terrorists under the bed
They call it outbreak

[Verse 2: Bigg Higg]

March maggots march at attention in line
We man made machines, bodies a dozen per dime
Gears set for the living dead, cyborg veterans
Numb nice morphine ingesting all medicines
The reds again, the terrorists, the terror is the war
Hi, my name is Winston Smith, it’s 1984
Red scare, green scare, there ain’t no room for dreams here
But monkeys in the gang throw their wrenches in the gears
Little children play in war zones losing blood and guts
Soldiers turn big puppets with all of their strings cut
Now the bitter man with nightmares who cries in the shower
The murder man, the sexless man, deprived of his powers
Rats chewing on numb legs in hospital beds
Fed by the war machine that left all of your friends dead
They’re watching you and waiting for the moment you slip
They’re teaching all our kids how to load up the clips

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

I only killed one or two Iraqis
Now I’m catching visions that they’re shooting at me
Somebody tell me how to heal this shit
Dear lord I can’t deal with this
I only killed one or two kids
Now I’m popping pills but it’s useless
Somebody wake me the dream is dead
I can’t sleep seeing terrorists under the bed
They call it outbreak

Real Estate Of Mind

[Verse 1: Bigg Higg]

Day by day the pain numbs until nobody can feel it
Grumpy ex-idealists see the light and wanna steal it
United States of Amnesia, working to please you
As earth tosses and turns, suffers strokes and seizures
And quickly humanity becomes something of the past
As the clown yells fire and the whole crowd laughs
Pushing past points of peligro with materialism
Children charred by smart bombs, petro-imperialism
What you claiming as wisdom, it is simply psychotic
Tell the kiddies to conform to their ticky tacky boxes
The horizon’s getting closer, skies turning to black
Old allies gone neutral and they turn their backs
On the attack, silent slipping off the fur for the wool
Better check where you’re aiming when they tell you to pull
Bullets drop final hurrahs from the barrel of your gun
Until the veil falls away and you realize what you’ve done

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

Cuz it’s the real estate of mind

[Verse Two: Bigg Higg]

When the sun rises on the wrong side of the cuckoo’s nest
Bet your bottom dollar destruction will be effortless
They never just let it go, let it be, let it grow
Guns and books don’t mix so the Many they will never know
Who am I? What am I? Who’s to say what’s genocide?
Final destination take the people on another ride
Dead inside, fleshy surface, circuits working, living person
The lobster doesn’t notice as water conditions steady worsen
Boiled in a hard shell, eaten by these animals
Ethnographic evidence lacks examples of cannibals
I’ve seen it, they nibble on their little limbs everyday
The only ones surviving are suicidal and wide awake
Hi, I was born within the eye of the storm
My name is Andrew, I find it hard to stick to your norms
Screaming go! and the people run around in little circles
Their faces getting redder ’til their bodies turning purple

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

Cuz it’s the real estate of mind

Burn Black

[Verse 1: The Human Animal]

I’m from where homeless guys cooking dogs on trash cans
And asphalt stretches suffocating the land
Broken families, no sense of loyalty or sanity
The devil’s hands in the barcode of humanity
I wonder why y’all mold yourselves into slaves
For these top shelf barons of black gold, the waves
Burn black in the summer, burn black in the hummer
Burn black like an atmosphere that cracked with thunder
Shit we dumb it down, educated with withdrawal
From Wal-mart to Hallmark American strip malls
A lost chapter, we rip rappers into halves
Till the fat lady sings and the helicopter laughs
We wanted sovereignty, they gave us diabetes
We wanted land rights, they gave us dead trees
A dead history, scalped skin, diseases
A dead God but thank God for Jesus
So here’s the body of your Christ, bitch, take this
From the hands of the priest serial rapist
Native leaders crying blood over broken treaties
The arrogance of even thinking freedom coming easy
You see the people with the green need pigs
To ensure all illiterate animals in a crib
Till their minds go gonzo, no fozzy bear
Indoctrinating the child, psychological warfare
And we gon’ die there, buried under basements
Of high rises of those who paying rent surviving
Alive with the clarity of diamond eyes
Seeing the face of satan every time the President smiles
Fucking wit X-File fetishes, alien fucking immigrants
Pedofiles sucking on kid dick like ministers
Silly hair styles kicking lines of rap
We accelerating your heart until your rib cage crack

Escape Into Exile

[Verse 1: Bigg Higg]

Running through the forest in the black of the night
Got my pistol gripped tight, won’t relinquish the fight
In mid flight jumping streams dodging bullets
Finger on the trigger, waiting for the time to pull it
Only six shots to make this nightmare stop
And last time I checked I’m being chased by four cops
I turn around, take aim, blast through a cop’s brain
I’m on the run for my life, I ain’t killing in vain
I know if they catch me I’ll be lynched on sight
And if I didn’t put up a fight they would’ve hit me with life
So I’m heading for the border though it might take a while
And I ain’t fully resigned to a life in exile
But until the storm calms I gotta stay on the run
Cause the war won’t be won until we rise as one
So I release my last bullets on the pigs who follow me
Screaming ‘anarchy or death’ I die gladly with no apology

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

When I escape into exile
It’s hard to smile through the barb wire
Falling asleep on the hard tile
Single file till we meet our fates
So I stay braiding the mohawk and painting the face
When I escape into exile
It’s hard to smile through the barb wire
Falling asleep on the hard tile
Single file till we meet our fates
So I stay braiding the mohawk and painting the face

[Verse 2: The Human Animal]

Undercover, over the hills and underground we run
Sun up to sun down sticking around will get you done
Establishing roadblocks see narcotics are legal now
This is our town and we decide what the run around
A son of sam sound, elementary playgrounds that gunned down
By class clowns who stand out
They said they want to be Dick Cheney when they grow up
So they can run around and just blow shit up
Bored killers, anorexic America
Celebrities infected with dyslexic terror
They kept domesticated and desperate like house hoes
Slaughterhouse homes in a white picket war zone
They taught us English only so we could take orders
M-79 tear gas grenade launchers
A hundred thirty thousands rounds, know the situation
Dangerous, with more bullets than patience

[Chorus: The Human Animal]

When I escape into exile
It’s hard to smile through the barb wire
Falling asleep on the hard tile
Single file till we meet our fates
So I stay braiding the mohawk and painting the face
When I escape into exile
It’s hard to smile through the barb wire
Falling asleep on the hard tile
Single file till we meet our fates
So I stay braiding the mohawk and painting the face

Dehumanization

[Verse 1: Bigg Higg]

Dehumanization, ecological catastrophe
Welcome to our world screen show, everything you have to see
Tie me to the mast stuff your ears up with wax
Working for us is good but everything else is bad
It’s use use use when it’s gone it’s time to buy
Diseases spread, we’re depressed, and the people wonder why
As they market new drugs for a brighter better life
If you swallow what they’re selling you then why ain’t things all right?
The recipe is bubbling that jitterbug perfume
Pain got lost in labyrinths of urban drudge and doom
Surveillance in the alleyways, cameras equipped with zoom
The thought police are watching, telescreen in every room
Crime-thinking into tombs, days are war, nights are love
Blood oranges make oj, politicians don’t fake love
Preparations made for hate week so defend your sons and daughters
The sun is not an issue like the profits for this quarter
Economy can’t handle caps the earth is growing hotter
Counting sheep won’t put the wolves to sleep, dreaming of a slaughter
Liberals spread like viruses can’t comprehend the symptoms
Capitol pimps and prostitutes such as our modern system
Rat race, rat race, of mice and men
Not quite one not quite the other
Our children won’t live long enough to throw dirt on their mothers
Muster the troops for battle, generals are heroes
Peace nicks ride in thought waves contemplating zen and zero
Masters of war masquerade with fireworks and flags
He couldn’t buy his soul back with the currency he has
Cash, green like the grass that’s turning black
I’d roll it up and smoke it but the jakes are on my back
Piggy back piggy back crack the piggy bank
The pigs pursue a profit with their guns grenades and tanks
While some clandestines turn these pirate journals into songs
Others are swept away to jail or jobs or base and bongs
And workers drink the water but its coming wit a price
Cuz children might be thirsty but so is the corporate rice
Right, no money for the megaphone means silence
The clock strikes twelve time for that ultraviolence
