T M Stevens By Any Means Lyrics

There comes a time, in everyone's life
When you have to get up
And get it for yourself
You sit around waiting, while the world passes you by
(„Well you and I been sitting long enough
And it's time today for us to start doing some standing')
Oh yes, I've found both mental and physical blocks
(„For the past four hundred years')
At every almost every turn in my quest and dreams
(„20th century slavery')
Now all the deprived peoples
We must stand up and get what's rightfully our's
(„By any means necessary')

Stripped, feel the wounds
From a million starring eyes
You've been fooled by the same lame game
Replayed like a rerun movie
It's not the color of your skin
But the frame of mind that you're in
Good things come to those who wait
Bullshit, nobody's gonna give
You gotta take

I want mine,
You got your's
Gonna get mine
Down for so long, can't you see
We'll be the one to take it back...

By any means necessary
By any means necessary
I'm not weak
By any means necessary
I won't turn the other cheek
By any means necessary

400 years,
Oppressed by a mad man
Pay your dues
But you're born to lose
Not a matter of being fair
The motherfuckers, just don't care
Dog eat dog
I got a big bad appetite
No mistake, we're a victim of a rape
Not a matter of race or luck
You got the power, if you got the buck
You know what I want is true
You know, I want to live like you
Cause I'm living like a prince in the slums
A Brick castle full of neighborhood bums

I'm gettin' crazy
I'm not lazy
This is my time
Gonna get mine

By any means necessary
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
-Pump this jam-

(„20th century slavery')
(„For the past four hundred years')
By any means necessary

Revolution, the solution
To the constitution
Let the bass get wicked

By any means necessary
By any means necessary
I want mine now, I'm really not lazy
I'm really not crazy, I'm gonna get mine
