12. War Within A Breath [The Battle Of Los Angeles (1999)]
Every official that come in Cripples us, leaves us maimed Silent and tame, and with our flesh and bones He builds his homes
Southern fist, rise through the jungle mist Clenched to smash power so cancerous Black flag and a red star A risin' sun loomin' over Los Angeles
Yes, for Raza livin' in La La Like Gaza on to the dawn Intifada Reach for the lessons the masked pass on Seize the metropolis it's you its built on
Everything can change on New Year's Day Everything can change on a New Year's Day Everything can change on a New Year's Day And everything changed on a New Year's Day
C'mon War within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land
Their existence is a crime Their seat, their robe, their tie Their land deeds, their hired guns They're the crime
Shots heard underground round the rapture World's eye captured, at last is a Mexican pasture The masked screaming, land or death within a breath A war from the depth of time
Shot four puppet governors in a line Shook all the world bankers, who think they can rhyme Shot the landlords who knew it was mine Yes, it's a war from the depth of time
And everything can change on a New Year's Day Everything can change on a New Year's Day Everything can change on a New Year's Day And everything can change on a New Year's Day
C'mon, uh Wearin' the masked scream
War within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land or death
It's land or death
Yeah, aah, c'mon, c'mon, yes, yes, yes Its war within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land or death War within a breath, it's land or death
