lyrics
People fighting over rings.
People wanna be the king.
Long live the chief.
For a little ol thing,
Little boys bang bang.
Long Live the chief.
People fighting over rings.
People wanna be the king.
Long live the chief.
Yeah watch pretty mama while I slang my cane.
Long live the chief.
I heard the governments been tapping my cell phone.
So if you hear the feds are coming, tell them I'm not home.
Cuz they've been looking for me and my people.
We're not going.
Think we forgot our history?
The struggle is not over.
They've been keeping tabs on my bloodline.
Deny all my land rights.
Gave me a number and took the name that I'm referred by.
They've taken everything they possibly can to try and break the man,
but they can not take my pride.
Treating me like I committed a crime
and if I did then shit you know that I've been serving the time.
Cuz being born me is not convenient, easy or fine.
I'm a Chey boy, born underneath the city lights.
Born to a free world, with no equal rights.
Land of the arrogant and home of the white pride.
Fucking fascist in the oval office telling his white lies.
He's telling his white lies.
You ignorant mothafuckers,
You need to open your eyes.
Innocents murdered in cold blood,
should be no surprise.
Our country has built a whole business
On taking lives.
Young boy gets murdered and we mourn,
they capitalize.
Reporters get involved and start telling their lies.
Creating race wars and cultural divide.
Now the life that you're living is more valued than mine,
simply cuz the shade that you're colored, it differs from mine.
So all the history that we share is no longer enough?
All the struggles that we share is no longer enough?
All of the the victories that we share is no longer enough?
Thats what I understand from all prejudice talk.
You speak a good game but fail at walking the walk.
Demanding things from everyone that you won't give up.
Leading by example is an absolute must.
If that's beyond your capabilities then shut the fuck up,
and sit down.
You wanna be the king?
Long live the chief.
For a little ol thing
Little boys bang bang.
Long live the chief.
People fighting of rings,
People wanna be the king.
Long live the chief.
Yeah watch pretty mama while I slang my cane.
Long live the chief.

I got to the party late, but boy am I glad I made it. This album meets, exceeds and challenges all sonic and writing expectations one has of a punk album; poetry set to punk. Definitely the most punk thing I've heard this year. CMRuppert12
