Set It Off Lyrics

Our time has come, watch me set it off
It's been a while but we back
So you can count it loss
We lay and wait, don't hesitate

When opportunity knocks
Break the locks and rush the gates
Seize the day, we got moves to make
It's got to be now

'Cause we're half past late
Say what you say, but you ain't shown me nothin'
If you want me to feel you
Then you best to show me something

All bark and no bite, talking all hype
I hang with the illest bloodlines, we sterilize
Here we come
Chant down dem Babylon

The wicked man when he sees me I go run
Me understand
Why dem cowards don't want none
Undergound blaze sound to Armageddon

chorus x2
RISE- Let your spirit fly
RISE- Stand up for yourself
RISE- Hold your head up high/Our time has come

(chorus repeat)

Choose my battles, unravel your crew
Dismantle, they still can't handle or fathom what I throw at 'em
I can't imagine, they bablin'
Actin' like I'm laughin', don't find it funny
But I smile at your sarcasm
You plastic, so tragic, you fake
So you mask it, no gimmicks, no antics
We real and we've outlasted
Your phoniness, so you best to come correct
You want to disrespect
Why do cowards talk the loudest
Papa didn't raise no punk
On everything I love, if you ready
Then come and get it son
Overpower the strong tower
Infiltrate top ranks
Count down the final hour
Here we come
Chant down dem Babylon
The wicked man when he sees me I go run
Me understand
Why dem cowards don't want none
Underground blaze the sound to Armageddon
(chorus)
(bridge)
We made it this far don't you quit on me
(chorus)
