I like my rap to be as threatening as possible. Thus, the work of P.O.W.E.R. (People Oppressed by the World's Entire Ruling elite) has long appealed to me. Their CD,
Dedicated to World Revolution is one of my all-time favorite CDs and the song "Out of Control" has long been a sort of personal anthem for myself and a few friends:
Quote:
Programmed, trained, and educated, to follow, to ask no questions, to
believe what you are told
the truth may be dangerous if heard too often.
We enter the twenty first century divided, uncertain what the future may
hold, so powerless in a world controlled by so few, what can you do?
Driven by modern capitalism, every individual for themselves.
Survival of the fittest, competition, win, win, destroy your enemy,
your opponent, be number one.
Just like in America right?
On top of the fucking world.
Remember all you need to do is get a good ass job, a career, make lots
of money, buy lots of fun toys, consume, get a car, own a luxurious
home, wear the latest fashion or trend,
watch television, live above and beyond what you really need.
Most importantly, waste your fucking time, your life,
just as they want you to.
Besides, you deserve it, you're free....And this is America....
You are merely a product of the cultural, social, and celebrity elite,
who set all of your standards.
And no, of course, you're not at all a zombie or not at all brainwashed.
You are of sound mind while millions die and fall victim to the unnecessary
wars, disease, starvation, and many other atrocities caused and created
by your faithful leaders.
So go on, ignore the genocide, ignore the fourteen million people
expected to have HIV in America by the year 2000.
Ignore crime, poverty, violence, rape and the murder of women.
Ignore the false media, those locked in prison, capital punishment.
Ignore police brutality, FBI, CIA murder.
Ignore decent health care, housing, education.
Ignore safe and healthy food, and try not to think about the murder and
mass production of animals for slaughter.
Ignore the environment, toxic waste and contamination, pesticides,
the trees, land, water and air.
Ignore the government's drug trafficking and illegal activities around the globe.
Ignore the plight of the poor everywhere, the loss of culture, heritage,
tradition.
Ignore the weapons of mass destruction, and most importantly,
Ignore the Revolution.
Cause when it comes you'll be the first to die.
Quite a toe-tapper, eh?
