BackWordz MusicLyrics: Running away, that is not my forte Don’t bring it to me. Or my way
I know the sight of a gun makes you squeamish/ Can’t help it I was born in Texas/ Keep my head on a swivel and alert/ What it’s worth, it’s a perk we assigned guns at birth not absurd.. That we choose to keep it on our hip/ Inside the waistband with the siggy sig sig/ Smith & Wesson we don’t say it for the bragging/ I’d rather have and not needed than need it and not happen to have it
Hook: Sorry. It’s you I don’t need Can’t help me nor save me That nine, gives me some peace of mind Can’t threaten me nor phase me
Gun control what they spout/ Funny ‘cause control is all it’s bout/ Let me be as clear as can be/ I don’t care about what the other countries do, what that gotta do with me/
My voice. My choice. He’s scared. Unprepared
I don’t care that you’re scared of a rifle. You don’t even know what’s a magazine, Pipe down!
The police don’t protect and you march. You’re scared of ARs and you want me disarmed/ Don’t get it twisted if I had to I’d box but you are my enemy bro both you and the cops. My first take’s to de-escalate but don’t make the mistake of threatening me or my family if you value your chest space ‘cause I’m shooting center mass

Lyrics:
Here we are again, how are my lyrics still relevant? The pain and suffering, you are as dumb as you’ve ever been
4 years, almost to the day You’d think that I was some clairvoyant, truly it is an annoyance Say it, 'til I’m blue in face But you treat my words like they're poison, it’s your own life you’re destroying
Talking to thick walls and skulls Marching to your own new low
Another year of this, same ol' song Same ol' wrongs, you ask for it, back for it You have learned absolutely nothing You made your bed, now lie in it
A bunch clowns, idiots, sheep Seeking comforting lies and deceit And just for momentary relief Truth hurts so you take it out on me
That’ll change little to nothing Hate what I say but you can’t say I’m bluffing It’s like you want a perpetual suffering Teams maybe changed but the ante they're upping, it’s looking
Very familiar don’t it Seem to really love that
Talking to thick walls and skulls Marching to your own new low
Another year of this, same ol' song Same ol' wrongs, you ask for it, back for it You have learned absolutely nothing You made your bed, now lie in it
A predictable, gullible, mess, a predictable, gullible, mess A predictable, gullible, mess, a predictable, gullible, mess A gullible mess
Emotions, you cannot contain Elites just pull on your strings, and that just strange Your protesting is nothing but hallow Because in the end you’ll just follow Silly, trippin, who are y’all kiddin? All that you talkin' and act like you different Do what you told like a sucka and you listen As long as the crackhead is your politician
You are not the resistance The most generic positions
Here we are again, no end in sight, we're stuck inside You made your bed, now lie in it
Another year of this, same ol' song Same ol' wrongs, you ask for it, back for it You have learned absolutely nothing You made your bed, now lie in it
Wanna see this in work Right after that brother wrongfully got merked And now the whole entire scene got some BLM merch Everything about you is manufactured
And if it feels like I’m talking to you, Just assume I am and do with it whatever want to And if you wanna make this thing an issue, Hit me up and we can surely find the real to get intoBackWordz - WhitePilled (The Rippaverse Anthem) | Official Music VideoBackWordz Music2024-05-10 | Follow us on social media.

Lyrics:
Another day, sailing away from me And though the work isn’t done, I don’t want to hear you ‘Cause you cannot muster the strength Move
I’m aware.. it’s a, uphill battle but hence my attitude. I’m prepared if I have to travel a destined avenue
Great. But don’t mistake this, patience for no foundation I may be an optimist, but I know what we’re up against so shut it. Hate it or love it. Oblivious to nothing One can be a realist and still have the fight left in him.
I understand if you’re down and out But I cannot have you around
Stay away from me if your plan's to sob. There is just no way I'll concede, and bury my mind to wade in defeat.
So speak for yourself
You’re not even my enemy, yet you try to sow doubt as your morale depletes, you’re weak. Present it like it’s an honest critique but how can you call it that when you won’t even stand on your feet
You’re demoralized x3 Please do run or hide But when we win and turn the tide; do not amend Though you will definitely benefit don’t ever act like you paid a cent.
I understand if you’re down and out But I cannot have you around
Stay away from me if your plan's to sob. There is just no way I'll concede and bury my mind to wade in defeat. There's got to be a way where there's a will because our fate is never sealed There is just no way I'll concede and bury my mind to wade in defeat.
You ain’t gotta leave, but you got to get from around here, and take that black pill right back to wherever you live
We’re dealing with an animal that has a different set of ethics that we know. It’s bad But that don’t mean we have to lose, this current trend is not inevitable.
Stay away from me if your plan's to sob. There is just no way I'll concede and bury my mind to wade in defeat. There's got to be a way where there's a will because our fate is never sealed There is just no way I'll concede and bury my mind to wade in defeat.

Struggle comes with a lesson. I can't be the only one, questioning my heart and what the times will say about it Carry on. The Word is in us, if we'll just speak as though we have what we cannot reach. Keep your heart on it.
It seems like now more than ever when I say man's not who I serve, a target's put on my back. But what You've endured has got nothing on that. My life is steady on the line. For that I will not apologize. I still stand in defeat. When it's all said and done, I can't take those with me.
If no one had faith in me, I'd still believe in You. The world can't set us free, they'll chain us, hand and feet. Take all that I am. Consume me, Renew me.BackWordz- Statheist (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-04-01 | Track #17 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity, which is out NOW!

STATHEISTBackWordz- Snap (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-04-01 | Track #16 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity,
A little crazy and I must face it. I'm on the brink of insanity. And I'm in neck deep. They tried to tell me, but they're just wasting their breath. 'cause I know what I felt. And I'm thinking that if you're not, you're not living. No need for saving him, because we all got a little craziness. And you may not want to admit any of it, but I wouldn't want to be around me if I so happen to snap.
I'm not in a fragile state of mind. I just don't run away, 'cause it's a waste of my time. I'm not in a fragile state of mind. And I might get a bad rap if I so happen to snap.
With all that happens that is around me, idiocy surrounds me. And I don't need no consultation, I just don't shy away from confrontation.
You came at me with unwarranted nonsense, what am I to do? If one of us has to leave tonight with an L, bro then it might be you. I think I've possible already told you that I'm not the one. So back, back, give me fifty feet if you think conflicts not fun.
If you could see into my mind, you would know what I've endured. From the brink of my demise, I have come from further shores.BackWordz- Democracy Sucks! ft. Lauren Babic of Red Handed Denial (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-04-01 | Track #13 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity. which is out NOW!
Loyalty is conditional. You're misinformed. So they tug at your heartstrings to mask what's underneath.
Emotions are running high. So it's like nobody notice a lie. Using false security as a bribe. But have you ever thought about as to why these people will go around hoping that you frown at the idea like the sky's falling down. Wow. They use it to control you. Like they package up and own you. Tap your fears and act like this, but ask yourself: is this really a path you feel? Selling your soul cheaper than a happy meal. It's sad to hear when you cling to a bad idea.
Speak in lies. Deny and imply that we could not get by without you. Rule through fear. It's clear that you're here to lead the sheep to shear their lives away.
Entrust our faith to those who bend the knee to the underlying hate that you helped create. So step back, the picture is bigger than you think. How can you open your eyes when you're blinded by a catch phrase?
Worth the time, or worth the fine? I work to find solutions, but it hurts when my family falls for the okie doke. Kind of like Obama, we saw and we know he choked. Know what she wrote, bro. Said he was gonna bring the troops home, got in and started singing a new song. But he's cool so they thinking he can't do wrong. Bomb more countries than Bush, but I got a new phone.
We know what it is giving you the biz. I'm saying you ain't gotta lie to me. We know you got it wrong but you're not alone, I'm not asking for apologies. I'd much rather you in a battle mood, waking up smelling the coffee. I'm just stressing to spread the message before they turn around and just off me.BackWordz- The Professional Protester (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-04-01 | Track #11 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity, which is out NOW!!
Fake, fraud, I see it in your eyes. Keep putting up that facade and it's probably gon' be your surprise. Acting tough until the wheels fall off, and you can protest. Yet, ignore the heart of the issue and you know this. I done seen so many folks call themselves pro-black, ready to march at the drop of a hat. But they won't dare criticize the folks in their own town running their city into the ground. 'Cause they terrorize, too. The only difference is they look just like you. They're your uncle, they're your brother, they're your cousin, but you sit back and say nothing. What, you're scared? How many more kids gotta get filled up with lead? The killer was the same color but he offed somebody's baby brother.
What stares back at you when you look into the mirror? Do you recognize the person you've become?
We represent the 13% of the U.S. Population. But we represent like half the homicides since like '75. Killing our own kind at a faster rate than every other race and that's a disgrace. We can stop police brutality, but these problems ain't going away. A gangsta, and you boast and brag. Killing people over territory and flags, you're sad. Robbing grandmommas, you're a bonafide dimwit. It's like you're on a mission to be another statistic.
What stares back at you when you look into the mirror? Do you recognize the person you've become? This doesn't have to be your destiny, you can find your way out.
You are not real. You're a coward. Most of our problems are in-house, but you're silent like a mouse and you want to cry, yet pout. It is too easy to point the finger. It's convenient to point the blame but it takes courage to realize what you ain't bout. Unfortunately that's something that you ain't got.
You're fake. Your activism is not the truth. It's nothing more than an ego boost. You're fake. So you can shout and pout. So you go ahead, take the easy route.BackWordz- So To Speak (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-04-01 | Track #9 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity which is out NOW
I be YG Rippa; used to be the moniker. An honorable mention it was, but now I seem to sign up for other things. Eric, Rippa, you get either one of 'em. When I say I'm no longer playing, I don't mean the carnival. Y'all softer than cotton candy, sweeter than a funnel cake. I'm knowing that you gonna hate, but tell your dad his son's a fake. I steady grind from sun to eight, I'm talking eight the next day. That's why you getting lapped and I'm already on my next pace. Gone, and I'm shot calling alone like Jerry Jones or Jerry Sloan I've never feared a scary moment.
And I'm up on it, the opportunity is golden, but you should hold up if you're thinking I'd fold up, dawg. Metaphorically my balls bigger than the Trump Tower or the Eiffel one, and you ain't gotta like it once, I'm itching for success like a head that got the lice in 'em. And this is elementary since 10 I've been ciphering.
I ain't never had nobody tell me that I would fall and they were right. And I ain't never had nobody tell me that I ain't never put up a fight.
This track is aimed at the lame cats that can't rap but want to claim that the kang's back. Come on, all I see is clones, homes. I'm saying that you drones can't rap; spitting whack, singing the same crap. I'm not liking you. It's the truth that I might be rude. Dang quit biting dude, swipe or no swiping dude. And I mean right now, as weak as you might sound, but like an underground water tunnel, you need to pipe down. And it's so retarded. It's like y'all get together in booths just to see who be spitting the most garbage. And after that, y'all pick the ones that speak the most trash, cosign him and sackride him until his nuts crash. What's that? Who gave these people a bus pass? I'm pissed, I'm agged, plus mad. Somebody put a muzzle on him. Need to shush that, hush that. People don't know what's good or what's bad. Y'all done confused somebody making the latest moves for somebody that's actually spitting and has paid his dues. I'm aching to move. Steady slaying these faking fools. Not debating to dumb my raps down for the sake of you Nowadays since rap is no longer talent based, that'll make people completely forget the database, and it baffles me. So I'm here ridding the rapping game with insecticides like it's Rapper Raid.BackWordz- You, Are You (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-03-31 | Track #6 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity which is out NOW
I won't be held accountable for the hell of the past. I don't owe a penny or dime to amend for their crimes. Don't you see? You're illusioned and apologizing for events you had no part in. It's a mass delusion.
Just due to my skin tone they applied a path to me. No matter what my ancestry was, I was never a slave. I must find that it's asinine that you really think that the path of mine is determined by another mastermind like it's your life, and that's out of line.
We can't take the credit for what we did not endure. We can't pay for the mistakes that man has made before.
Apply this to now, we can't take credit for our father's successes. This crown is not my own. Let me earn my keep, let me pave my own way.
Foolish. When you sit and think about it, it is stupid. That you would take credit for history that you had nothing to do with. Acting bold and proud, or acting like you're hurt. But you are owed nothing just because you stood on the same dirt. You are owed nothing.
Go, take what's yours. Pave your path and find it, go decide it. Go, take control. You're not obligated to not make it out.BackWordz- Individualism (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-03-31 | Track #2 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity, which is out now!!
Rise up! I ain't saying I got the answers, but too much collectivism is cancer. Kidnapping you with a ransom, saying they gone save you like you're a damsel. But you're not in distress, you're just stressed, but you partially causing it. Yes. Individuality. The only way to succeed is secede.
Pushing forward, realizing that we are the marked ones fighting for the freedom of the Individual. Rise up, own yourself and take back what you've made.
The government is full of dopes, bro. You and I both know they broker than a joke, though. You might as well run it back. They drop the ball like running backs. We got robbed, that's a funny fact, and you're not getting your money back.
But I'm okay with that if that means that my kids aren't sold through slavery. A state is not saving me, and I done went from A to Z. I know the ins-and-outs, so please keep that stuff away from me.
I'm not talking about reform, I'm saying stop selling assets of the unborn.
We don't really need a revolution. Nah, what we need is an evolution. Sort of a reach, yeah it might be. But to win the war we gotta tap into the psyche. I'm saying you gotta look at it like this: This ain't a battle of might, bro, this a battle of wits. This ain't about all the fighting, this ain't a battle of fists. That's why I jump on the mic like education is bliss.
Frustrated as me? Why can't they see, you wanna be free? We may disagree, if you're not forcing, it don't matter to me. Don't be a sheep, just earn your keep until you're deceased. So I say succeed, I say secede. I say secede.BackWordz- Pop It Off (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-03-31 | Track #1 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity
LYRICS 2015 was the year that we made it happen and we were born, and since then people been arguing about what genre that we perform.
Nu-Metal, rapcore, we are none of that so stop acting stupid. I got an idea: shut the hell up, sit back, and enjoy the music.
BackWordz in the building like we're the ceiling. We're illin' no matter who find it appealing. I'm here and I got a feeling that we'll be dealing a lot of pain. Where's the penicillin? Get drilled in your head that we are monsters, and yeah, we come from the slums and for some months we've been pumped, but for once I am now comfortable. I want to grow. I want some more success and I'm one to know that greatness can't be rushed. It can't be lust so face the fuss, and feel free to hate on us. We lace them up. Dues, we done paid them up. Keep snakes away from us, and safe from us, you might wanna be. I remember when clowns used to make fun of me and now they want to be me. See me and they run to me. I'm gonna be the greatest, yeah I want to be. But I am not the one to be the fakest for the sake of being played. I am here, like I had never left. Settle? Hell no, 'cause I can't just fail. So just prepare your ears, it'll get forreal. a test from here; we will never take the sell. It's grind time. My mind and my thoughts. My highs and my faults. My wins and my loss. When will I fall off? It's a task for me.

The man that you see before you may not be the one that you knew. Freed from the weight of his youth, should worry if I chose to stay confused
Take it from me, change is on the move and it ain't free. You take whatever life gives and hit the streets. Take it from me, may not desire everything I see. Impossible to predict to a T, my expectations change from week to week.
The man that you see before you, free from his old world views, embraced change and let it renew even when he couldn't face the truth. I'm working on it, I've been bad, I've been wrong. I've been a freakin' addict, not to drugs, but to the wrong habits. I've talked about it, I've been lost, I've been gone. No more trust, it's too long since I loved, or been home.
I try. We try.BackWordz- Praxeology (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-03-30 | Praxeology is track #10 off of BackWordz' debut album... Veracity.
The debt is at 20 trillion. Why, bro? Fundamental econ. Economic calculation. Trying to predict a market full of millions. No. Must be slower than a snail's nest. That crap don't even pass the smell test. Needs less Keynes, more Mises. Then you'll understand why we're in a recess.
You're inviting in the poorest men, but follow logic to it's end. Production seized, drives us into poverty. Greed doesn't end with loss of liberty.
This ain't just Republican or Democrats, this is about a handful of bureaucrats. Know the exact cost of a spending act? How in the world can they dictate that? It doesn't make a lick of sense. Keynesianism might be the death of us all. The most tanked economies were centrally planned. You get sadness, you get famine, you get poverty, you get everybody just starving.
Should read the Road to Serfdom. Claim they love the poor, but their policies hurt them. Giving them power but is it really worth the trouble when you're productive and your means get nerfed? Free enterprise seems to rise living standards, but man will politic if he ain't got the answers and damage up an economy if he is envious. Immediately run the other way if he is leading you.BackWordz- Demon Rat (Official Album Audio)BackWordz Music2017-03-29 | Demon Rat- Track #4 off of BackWordz' debut album, Veracity.
You think you know the ones you should be avoiding. Meanwhile, one of your boys injecting the poison. You got folks next to you faking galore. And he giving you money, but you're making him more. A couple false promises, it's obvious that you ain't getting nothin' out of the deal. But you back him forreal. And they've been running your cities for about 70 years. And you keep on supporting 'cause he says what appeals.
You've got to be out your mind. You're falling for the okie doke and that's every time. They got a hold on you and it's one of a kind. What will it take it take to realize that they aren't on your side?
You ignore the truth that's right in front of you. You still believe what you want to believe. What's it gonna take for you to realize that everything is lost and you're to blame.
I used to be under the spell. I was a dummy, could tell. Now I just know you too well. Now I sit back and look at the fact that you have never been what you claim to be; You're a fake that's been snaking me. So while you guilt trip me to death, I got you out the picture and I ain't missed a step. Kind of like you never left, so you been feeding lies, but my folks still treat you like the god that you're not.
But I'll give you props on that. You got us by the gonads, you're a snake in the grass. Blindly follow you and I can't be mad. 'Cause that's on us, though that's really sad.
"Social Justice" is what they're calling it now? It's more like masked racism. I'm calling it out. Act superior but the empirical evidence shows that you think every other race is inferior, though. So let's go ahead and get to the real. Decipher through all the bull and I'll tell you the deal. And I don't give a crap how that makes you feel. Because the one you need to watch is the white liberal.
He's a fox indeed. Showing all of his teeth, but he's smiling cheek to cheek, when will you see. Don't look to him to succeed 'cause it ain't what it seems, and it's him that's pulling the string.Being Libertarian/ BackWordz Pre-Order Campaign for VeracityBackWordz Music2017-03-06 | BackWordz is set to release their debut album, Veracity, March 31st!

Lyrics:
From the willfully ignorant the knowledge you won’t get none. But Don’t get it twisted I too was dumb and then some. Support a politician, sit back and then twiddle his thumbs. Not understanding that you have Stockholm Syndrome.
They have no desire to save you It’s not because the folks serving are not fit. It’s not because we don’t have the right people in office. It’s not because a certain bracket is taxed a lot less It’s more because y’all fools don’t understand the process. This is all just a game bro. Y’all supported Bernie, that didn’t work to well, did it though? Funneling millions to his campaign. Swore he wasn’t a crook until he endorsed the same thing. Then you support the lesser of the evil fakers but it just repeats and we revisit this 4 years later The State itself is based on theft and can’t be fixed, so realize you own yourself & no one else.
Here we are again feeling stuck in this lie we’re living. Singing the same ol song. Are we wrong to break free from the chains we’re in? Of course you see, I do speak cordially not metaphorically. I like to speak informally with honesty but horribly y’all often like to appeal to all of the authority. A step ahead of y’all that’s the reason I brought my boy with me. I know that promises of politicians are hollow so I know I’m better off ruling over myself no lie though, I know. Will never rest until we all are free at last and every person will see that every person is free. There is no half stepping. With peace, you need non-aggression. Slavery’s not the best and self ownership is what we’re lacking. Freedom will be the course no matter if you’re reach or poor. Self-defense is the only way that you should be using force. And let me give a shout out to the people who only oppose government when it’s convenient to. You’re like an edgy teenager who hates authority. You’ll stay in shackles so as long as you get a longer leash. Liberty is not trendy. It’s an everyday thing to see that you’re not a slave. Let the people go and be free. Start making sense when you realize the lies. I hate to say it, but your protesting is ill-advised. You put your life into the hands of a bunch of silly guys. It’s a contradiction if freedom has to be legalized. For example, when a cop’s shooting a black man you focus on the racism, ignoring all the statism. Holding signs, rioting is not about to save him. ‘Cause you must’ve forgot that that’s the power that you gave them. Criminal justice reform is a euphemism. For a bunch of dumb, foolish slaves with Stockholm Syndrome. Thinking they’ll be held to the same standard, don’t do it. What? So they can investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing? Bro, sit and think about this foolishness. You hit the ballot box supporting fools that don’t know you exist. Warfare, healthcare, and your minimum wage. Call it progressive man, but you’re an obedient slave. DangBackWordz- Be Great (Official Music Video)BackWordz Music2016-08-27 | Preorder our debut album, Veracity, at BackWordz.merchnow.com.
Be Great Lyrics: They say follow your dreams, but what does that mean? 'Cause dreams only come to a sleeper. Forget that; you need to wake up/ Keep grinding instead. Keep that in your head/ Praying and hoping is not enough 'cause faith without works is dead/
Times what you make of it, no need to wait for it. Shut up get on your grind.
Get up and Be great If I fail bro, that's all on me You can't stop me 'cause I'll be great You ain't gotta believe what I say It don't matter 'cause I'll be great Best bet: get out of my way Tunnel vision I can't be swayed You can't stop be, cause I'll be great
Stop, being envious of everybody that's around you/ You're not poor, 'cause they're rich. Realize this: It's not fair, get over it/ If you spent as much time working on your craft as you did complaining... well../ You wouldn't have the time or energy to be worried about everybody else/
If life is not in tact, complaining won't get that; a complete waste of your time
Why do you want to cry and complain? Why in the Hell are you on sidelines? Get in the Game! When it comes to my mind, it's all the way made If you think you're outworking me, then you are insane That's my attitude; stay in a battle mood. Fear no man longitude or latitude Broke or well off.. seems that you had to choose. But I ain't mad it you, so beast it like an animal.
HOOK
Maybe you knew me back when I was, Flag waiving and gangbanging from yours to my hood/ Driving my momma up a wall like it was all good/ If it was fighting involved, didn't hesitate to fall through it.
Maybe you knew me as YG Rippa/ When me and J Dunn would beef on you just a little/ but we knew we had to fiddle with, we were not happy innocents/ Had the upper hand 'cause we were literate/
Yet idiots would step up and get they dumb butts bodied on microphones/ i earned my stripes 'Cause I was nice was hype when I was writing on/ The pad but if I had to fight then I could get my Viking on/ I'd supply the cake and J Dunn would slap the icing on/
I just so happen to be rapping since the age of 10/ Like a God given talent prolly Back to praising him, can't get pretend I'm new to this stuff/ Kuz I been doin this bruh/ don't be a fool get ripped up, you're cruising for bruisings mister? wait
Maybe you knew me back when I was grooving/ Me and the gig squad put on for the Dallas boogie/ And I had cameo up after cameo/ The biggest one being the Teach me how to dougie video/
Maybe you know me from college when I was, Running those track meets/ And I was actually a decent enough, athlete to break a couple school records, I'm proud of that joint/ Came a long way from gangbanging up to that point/
Maybe you know me from my YouTube/ And all those vocal covers and music ventures I used to. Or, Maybe you know me talking politics/ talking ancap libertarianism, all of it.
But last Maybe you know me from my old band/ Not Leviathan, the Gods I left Fire From/ Not acting like a higher form, to hold my punch I had to be/ But now I'm in position to answer what you've been asking me/
We parted ways 'cause I didn't think we had foundation laid/ They wanted to tour just to do it, which was stupid , so/ I was not about that/ and I wouldn't allow that/ Kuz I happen to grow up broke and I wasn't going back to that and that's the facts/
We left on good terms... Yea, but dang I would surely learn for the worse it took a turn/ 'cause the fools try to replace me with some dude that would favor me, I hate to be that guy but these lame babies shouldn't play me
And they didn't even try to hide it you and I know/ The first song they tried to drop was a song that I wrote/ I record it before I left and that was just a sin to me/ They got some whack cat to try his hardest just to mimic me/
Copy appearance to the mannerism/ still let em make it til I heard these weak misses were sneak dissing/ Gotta a lotta balls in it/ but I will have no part of it/ Face the fact, it's the opposite of what an artist is
You are factory made/ And you gotta go to grave with that bro.. High side and act though/ originality is what you lack so/ Tell ya kids that all your career is based a piggy back though/
"oh he mad Kuz they got signed and Backwordz didn't," shut up fool you must be an idiot. Oblivious/ Don't make a fool out yourself.. 'cause you not real. Over the past year we done past like 5 deals/
And now we in a situation that is helping me/ We own our own publishing and this is still a self release/ And BackWordz is a brand which was hard to get/ We didn't sign a deal we were looking for a partnership/
Now we gotta team and it's all business/ I say if you with it, then you with it/ The number of views can be at 20 million or a lot less/ But we ain't sell our souls in the process I'll take that/
You gotta get out there. You're running yourself into the ground. You gotta move on now and get up and get out. You can find your way some how/ Be GreatBe Great TeaserBackWordz Music2016-08-17 | Preorder our debut album, Veracity, at BackWordz.merchnow.com. Veracity drops March 31st.

I’m livid when, the gimmicking wins/ From beginning to end, no gimmick; If I rap it, dude I live it then/ And you can’t do it, so ain’t no need for mimicking/ I’m not innocent. I’m on a mission, so let me finish it/ Matter of time before they summon the army in/ I’m probably on the FBI’s most wanted list/ I’m probably going to end up hung like an ornament/ I’m on a life mission to abolish all the government/
It’s dumb and I’m beyond pissed/ So we’re going to cut to the chase and get rid of metaphorical nonsense/ None of that eloquent bogusness/ I want you to know what it is sucka kid, y’all people keep voting in/
They rob, kill, and steal by the day/ I’d be a buffoon to trust the state/ You’re a tool and fool. Just keep taking the bait/ Making mistake, after mistake, after mistake/ Believe me, this ain’t the typical “Oh the government’s corrupt.” Bro, that’s too easy/ You gotta take responsibility because you willingly Give power to the state, when it’s the state that is your enemy
Stuck on stupid, you gotta be on it/ Cry about violence but they got a monopoly on it/ And you keep on buying in to what that man say/ Not knowing that every mandate, just expands the state
Hook: Look around tell me what you see, because it’s.. Coming down, coming down. Are you listening? Stop and look. This is what I mean: It’s going down. It’s going down.
Look, it ain’t really hard to keep up The politician just hypnotized you with free stuff More and more statism, and y’all people just eat up Yet crying and you’re protesting about how the police suck Y’all don’t get no sympathy from me, because that’s the bed that you made So you gotta lay More inconsistent by the day, making mistake after mistake after mistake
At some time you gotta realize/ That the same crap that you despise might be your demise/ And I’d advise that you become more knowledgeable on subjects like economics that benefit/ Not memes on the internet So when you’re mad and you get so combative, you gotta step back and take a stab at your voting habits/ The average man don’t understand that he don’t know; You can be free or be a slave, but you can’t be both.
Hook
Craig Mabbitt: Open Your Eyes The state you’re in, is a state of mind. Freedom disguised, the state you’re in is a state of mind
So they’re wanting a savior? Yet everyday, we go through voluntary exchanges/ They say “who’s going to build the roads?” without taxation/ So you give them a reason to confiscate my payments/ And that’s exactly what the state needs for you to think you need them. But it’s fake, see?/ Maybe you’d see that they are what they swore to prevent/ A monopolized corporation, it’s called government/BackWordz- Grindstone (Live at The Korova 11/25)BackWordz Music2015-12-01 | Quick clip of Grindstone performed in San Antonio at Thrashgiving 15 www.facebook.com/BackWordzMusicBackWordz- Utopias Dont Exist (Official Lyric Video)BackWordz Music2015-08-10 | Preorder our debut album, Veracity, at BackWordz.merchnow.com.

Lyric Video by Steven Ekstrom of Outnumbered Co. Song mix and mastered by Robby Joyner of Black Book Sound
The life you’re living just might be different/ Despite what you might be thinking, your life decisions/ Could fight, but the night just thickens and knifes your vision/ I might be the light you’re missing. My mic, You Listen/
First off: need to act, man/ Take everything that you learned from this Liberal Media and toss it in the trash can/ That garbage is probably why you try to make everybody feel sorry for the parties involved and it’s whack man/
Most politicians have one mission: Say or do whatever it takes to keep your attention/ I guess you think the truth is so boring. They get away with telling lies and you’re dumb enough to vote for em’/ Left, right, republicans, or democrats. Red or blue, different sides on the same crap/ Black, white, gay, straight, need to pipe down/ Nobody’s obligated to accept your lifestyle/
Stop thinking that the government should force it
Hook: They Say that you should listen twice as much as you talk/ You have two eyes so you should watch where you walk/ ‘cause everything ain’t what it seems. Sometimes it’s far from truth/ You can mislead them but I see right through you/
It’s time to wake up x2
Another hashtag, now blacks mad/ ‘Cause the cops shot another brother that fast, and yea, that’s sad/ Here come the marches on Washington. Fueled with fire like arsonist, it’s hard to get, and I’m just sick, I’m tired of it/ Get up in arms when a cop do it, but don’t even bat an eye when one of US shooting and it’s foolishness/ What you’re doing is proving that, not even our own kind truly value a life that’s black/
How can we expect, others to show black folks respect/ When we act blind to all of this. Accountability is what we lack/ Meanwhile the politician keep benefitting/ Taking sides, while they just play the victim/ Well I’m black, so I’ll tell you like this.. / Stop fronting like you’re pissed when you’re inconsistent.
I criticize y’all hoping that you rise, dog/
Slander and lies, rationalize, the fact they try to dismantle guys with animal eyes/ Rats, snakes, on the prowl over emphasis on differences.. The difference is, to co-exist is the heart of existence/ Ain’t nothing wrong with being on different sides of the same subject. Think before you criticize/ Minimize conflict by understanding that you ain’t gone understand all of what is different from you following/
