The solo is real fucked up. What you do is slide the pick and your  
fingers up and down the fourth string. Changes in pitch are the result  
of the hand slowing down and speeding.It's kind of like scratching a  
record. 
 
That's it, just those four riffs. Pretty simple huh. Just listen to the  
song for the beat and the order of all the riffs. 
 
-Lyrics- 
 
Quit it now 
 
The microphone explodes shattering the molds  
Either drop the hits like de la o or get the fuck off the comode 
Wit tha sure shot 
Sure to make the bodies drop drop and don't copy 
Yo don't call this a co-op 
Terror rains drenchin' quenchin' the thirst of the power dons 
That five-sided fist a-gon 
Tha rotten sore on the face of Mother Earth gets bigger 
The trigger's cold empty ya purse 
 
Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells X4 
 
Weapons no food not homes not shoes not need just feed the war cannibal  
animal I 
Walk tha corner to the rubble that used to be a library line up to the  
mind cemetary now 
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin  
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em 
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells  
Rally round the family  
Pocket full of shells 
 
Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells X4 
 
Bulls on parade (a bunch of times)
