7. Game Theory Machine (algorhythms)

My fellow brethren, it has come to my attention that the stench of public dissent has fallen upon us. Due to the violent nature of these demonstrators in the forms such unpatriotic acts boycotts, strikes, runs on banks and general economic sabotage, I do hereby decree: those who would fight our fair system, shall not have the rights of our fair system. If the Civil does not act right, why should the Right act civil? New rules boys, get to work…

8. Apology Accepted feat. Abe tha Babe

Shit…eh boss, sorry, but uh, I kilt em.
(apology accepted)

Haaah… that’s right,
I cuffed a couple rebels last night,
they were sneakin round, and that was fine,
til they started seekin out the classifieds,
and she was leakin news to the views,
and the dude she was seein was preachin too,
as a team, they were seen tryn to teach the youth,
quite an unpatriotic thing to do,
the truth hurts, and it’ll cost,
your wife, your life or just your balls,
dont try to fight, take the loss,
and don’t cry when I tell her to take it off,
the nerve a yall, tryn to hurt the cause,
you nerds act like you never heard a law,
the worlds more secure with yer curtain call,
you heard the boss, (apology accepted)

Hey badge man,
gimme a hand, call some interns for these stiffs…
you know what, nevermind,
put em in the trash compactor, they won’t be missed…

Why fight for the wrong side?
I like having me a long life,
them jedi knights, they gone and died,
a helluva fight, but, boss is bonefied,
he got connections, and hoards of weapons,
the ceez knows hes no poor investment,
he uses force, and if theres any questions,
save yer voice, he dont take suggestions,
just lives, of those who go against him,
and if he likes, he tortures em before confessin,
cause now its legal, it aint forbidden,
if you got a ego, better keep it hidden,
that’s how Im livin, my teams winnin,
I got diplomatic status, I’m on a mission,
and even if I kill women or chidren,
I’m still forgiven.

9. It Ain't Easy Bein' Ceez (1% of 1%)

Ay…you see those people down there?
(Yeah!) What on Hoth am I seeing down there?
(They’re taking their money out), they’re taking our money out?
You go down there (now?) No, RIGHT NOW!

Get some boots an the ground from the Tan-Tan pound,
I’ll call my brother, he’s a watcher outta Tan-Tan Town.
He’s got interns from here to the south hole,
and their storm troopers turn the party out too.

Nada mean? No crime scene, not a thing,
they swoop in with stun bombs, like (bada-bing!)
The mobs wake up in drop cloths, and a lotta greens
pointing blasters at “o” faces and a lotta screams.

But if you confess, get outta jail free,
and if you protest, it’s about a month in solitary.
(You sound stressed, want some tea?) No way,
being Ceez is all work and no play.

It ain’t easy being Ceez…
you never know who you’re gonna hafta squeeze...
It ain’t easy being Ceez…
sometimes you gotta break some knees...
It ain’t easy being Ceez…
Some cats think they’re cold til you put ‘em on freeze...
It ain’t easy being Ceez…
it’s not what you know, it’s what you can make ‘em believe...

10. SOP (amoral strategy)

“Get the f*ck on the sidewalk!”

I got flagged by a badge,
after I stepped off the beaten path,
he told me to step back,
I told him “f” that,

this is my town, not yours,
you don’t intimidate, you mop floors,
and you strayed from the smart course,
allied yourself with the dark side of the force,

he pulled out his blaster,
but I moved much faster,
hopped a fence or two or three,
pulled a few moves to lose the heat,

I had just reached my hood and was
reasonably sure everything was all good, so I
pulled out my keys and unlocked my door when:
“Freeze rebel! Get your ass on the floor!”

It’s SOP, they call it SOP…
That’s SOP, it’s really what they believe…

So mad they can’t see straight,
we went from free, to police state,
overnight, self-defense got over hyped,
the law became power over rights,

freedom of speech meant money,
those who spoke Legalese ran whole countries,
the Hoth Rule was redefined,
to: if you’re not cool, you’re pulled offline,

whole cities went dark,
some ceez even turned their peeps water off,
a lack of empathy know-how,
turning bustling cities into ghost towns,

but where’d they all go to?
Family or jail, those two,
it didn’t seem civil,
they legalized being right, it’s that simple.

That’s SOP, they call it SOP,
that’s SOP, standard operation, proceed.

11. Hey Dad feat. LoLo Frees

[hook]
Dad, hey dad, when will you be back? [x2]

Hey love, sorry for the abrupt change but,
Daddy had to go upstate.
I don’t know how long I’ll be away, but
don’t worry, Daddy’s gonna be ok.

They put me in a beautiful prison,
just because we have a difference of opinion,
and so far, they don’t respect our religion,
but pretty soon, they’re gonna have listen,

to my tales, OF the wrong,
and if I can be jailed for doing NOTHing wrong,
cause I unveiled, they’re doing SOMEthing wrong,
clearly, they’re in the FUCKIN’ wrong.

It’s only a matter of time before THEY see
the amount of ingenuity they’re WASTing,
by incarcerating people THEY deem,
as criminal. This system is FAILing.

[hook]

It’s been a long six months,
the help here are some sick ducks,
but I’ll tell you this much,
I haven’t got shivved once.

It turns out, there’s a lot of other DADS here,
who aren’t into hurting another’s CHANCE here,
and if I were to get deeper than a PAPSmear,
it’s the criminals who maintain the PAX here.

The butlers want war, that’s for sure,
they make a cool profit off the conflict,
that makes us kinda sore, and more,
so we opted for a contract to call it,

and seek peace between armies.
We can both eat, nobody needs to be starving.
but if the Ceez feel the need to keep bogarting,
we’ll slay the beast and I’ll be home in time to start the party.

12. Court (prosecution vs. defense)

P:
Order in the court, not a giggle,
you’ve sworn to tell the truth, not a riddle,
the state will prove you guilt: you
conspired against the Right, and not just a little,
attacking the economy, as-
sembling in public with terrorist comradery,
and you’re good with photography, the
evidence can be found in your online property.

D:
Your honor, clearly there’s been some mistake,
I was hanging with the People, and we’re doing great,
we were just discussing change for a better day,
and after a consensus, we’re headed your way,
it’s nothing personal, it’s
business, that the whole world can do,
you want justice right, that comes first for you?
Let’s put the system on trial, we’ve got work to do.

P:
Objection! This system is sane, this isn’t a game, the de-
fense needs to stick to the subject, SUSTAINED,
in addition to the aforementioned claims, we add
treason and lack of reason to justify change,
extremism is a poor excuse, for
teaming up with other anarchists who hold the same views,
the law is the rule, it’s tried and it’s true, it’s
you who is the real problem, but you’ll be fixed soon.

D:
Sorry, ever since you let the law be bastardized,
the revolution will not be advertised,
the public interest’s been cast aside by
fascists and fear mongers when they strategize but
that’s alright, you’re the minority, and
until now, we’ve been the silent majority,
represented by more than me, it’s
everyone else you forgot about historically,

13. Verdict (guilty)

GUILTY, of committing crimes against the state.
GUILTY, of fear mongering and class hate.
GUILTY, of espionage. GUILTY, of terrorism.
GUILTY, of libel, slander and sedition.
GUILTY, of aiding and abetting the enemy.
GUILTY, of self-defense and hoarding weaponry.
GUILTY, of growing food in unapproved plantations.
GUILTY, of bartering to avoid taxation.
GUILTY, of being the problem.
GUILTY, of being the justification for killing all of ‘em.
GUILTY, of being willing to do the killing…

Who put the bomb in the capital building?
Who put the bang in the middle of the children? x4

It was you… you killed them…
you’re guilty…

14. Why Not Get Along? feat. LoLo Frees

The question is here, the answer is near,
why not get along? (x3)
There’s nothing to fear, no one’s gonna
tear you away from your lifestyle or what you hold
dear, but isn’t it weird, some don’t wanna hear,
why not get along? (x3)

[LoLo]
What’s the problem, that can’t be solved,
can’t be resolved or figured out at all?
It’s not a problem, it’s just a thought,
that we can’t have all the love we want,
but we got it, we got a lot,
and when the killing stops, then we'll talk,
then we'll walk in their shoes,
we feel their bliss and we share the blues.
So, why not get along? (x3)

15. Outroduction feat. Ace Ha and DJ Innovation

You on point Toth? All the time Ace (x3)
and even when I’m krunk, I keep a sober face,

Now here’s a
funky outroduction of how nice I am, tell your
mother to your sister send an instagram, I’m like
solar energy, because I last long, but it
wasn’t that way on my planet of Hoth.
We
had to figure out what love meant, some
ceez running things wanted none of it, but the
public did, and we discovered that, it pro-
tects and warms like an oven mitt,
but
what was to become of this government by some who’s in-
tention was division of the public and the funds?
Sums upon sums upon sums is what they grabbed, at
first they tried to hide, but the people got mad,
then
guess what? Some fessed up, it turned
out all badges weren’t messed up, then they
stepped up, and called the rest up, soon
interns and watchers gave a heads up,
to the
top, a nod to the bosses, it’s all their
fault, they wouldn’t be honest and had to have it
all, they promised and promised and promised to
stop it, too late, they were the problem.

We rounded up the ceez that night,
powerful men, all scared to die,
but it was time, for a
lethal dose of eMpathy to change their minds,

most pissed their pants,
once they started tripping, they got so sad,
so instead of getting mad, I went
back to my ship, and broke out my own stash,

I brought them pills, we popped them
pills, and we all got to see how M feels,
the ceez were all crying, we were all
crying, we looked into their eyes and untied ‘em.

Now we’re friends and fam, the
Right was abolished, so we’re all civils again
and, the only rule is ‘be cool,’
or get sent back to empathy school,

(Everybody plays the fool)
even on Hoth, but it’s fucking cold dude,
Earth’s more my pace, I
found my soulmate and got to break ground with Ace,

that’s him on the drum kit, whether
samples or keys, he crushes it,
met him online, like a very long ago,
in a galaxy far, far away…

Innovation does a lotta cutting on the quiet, and
having a son, is kinda something like a diet,
you gotta lotta uh-oh’s and no-no’s and,
WHOA, keep that on the lo-lo,

but don’t tell LoLo, she
already suspects I went full YOLO,
you never go full YOLO,
look what happened to granpa Han Solo,

but anywho, Earth’s about to change,
don’t lose hope, the greedy always get played,
it’ll happen soon enough, the so-
lution is love and only love, better get her done.

You on point Shawn? All the time J. (x3)
and even when I’m drunk, I’m still rocking the place.
