Lyrics 
====== 
 
--------------------------------------------------------    
Born with insight and a raised fist                         
A witness to the slit wrist                                 
As we move into '92                                         
Still in a room without a view                              | 
Ya got to know                                              | 
Ya got to know                                              |  
That when I say go, go, go                                  | 
Amp up and amplify                                          | 
Defy                                                        |  
I'm a brother with a furious mind                             
Action must be taken                                           Part 3 
We don't need the key                                         / ====== 
We'll break in                                               / 
                                                            | 
Something must be done                                      |  
About vengence, a badge and a gun                           | 
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system     |   
I was born to rage against 'em                              | 
                                                            | 
Fist in ya face, in the place                              /  
And I'll drop the style clearly                           / 
Know your enemy                                          /    
--------------------------------------------------------/  
 
------------------------------------------------------- 
Word is born                                              
Fight the war, fuck the norm                               
Now I got no patience                                     | 
So sick of complacence                                    | 
With the D E F I A N C E                                  | 
The mind of a revolutionary                               | 
So clear the lane                                           
The finger to the land of chains                            > Part 5 
What? The land of the free?                                /  ====== 
Whever told you that is your enemy                        |     
                                                          |   
Something must be done                                    | 
About vengence, a badge, and a gun                        |  
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system   | 
I was born to rage agaisnt 'em                           / 
                                                        / 
                                                       / 
                                                      / 
Now action must be taken-----------------------------/                         
We don't need no key  ------------      
We'll break in                     > Without instruments              
----------------------------------/ 
 
----------------------------------------------- 
I've got no patience now                        | 
So sick of complacence now                      | 
I've got no patience now                           Part 6 
So sick of complacence now                       /  ====== 
Sick of sick of sick of sick of sick of you     |    
Time has come to pay                            |     
-----------------------------------------------/ 
 
------------------------------------------------- 
Yes I know my enemies                             | 
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me      
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission,   > Part 8 
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite         /  ====== 
All of which are American dreams                  |
