RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE LYRICS - The Narrows

"The Narrows"



Drop it

Hey

Ugh



Try to crack

And some will react

Vocal snap so trap

I'm trying to rap



Those who try to subdue

the truth

lose their condition

were labelled inactive



Being 91

the twentieth century

Brooklyn is a magnum in the bottle of kerosiene



flame ignites into the black

sending fright

thought you could read minds

and words and insight



Backin' the explosion on stage

guns fear

Frances Fanon

presence of war



Using my brain

Until the power is obtained

Using my strength to gain

A struggle for rage



But I

Choose another tune to uplift

Yeah, you know my anger is a gift

a gift to expect the test we all must face

Hah,

Out my face



Release the reason

Allow the pain

The actors change

But the plays the same



C'mon

In the narrows

In the narrows

In the narrows



Some are the holders of power

But the style will [ ? ? ] shower

Trying to like brothers about the structure itself

Pay only motivates and creates more hate



State to state

I set it straight

I investigate

Debate, the?? who brought me lessons



At the oppression I react with aggression

Yo

My section after section



No need for repressing

Just take a mic

and a rap another session



No need for guessing

Yeah

And that shit that your stressin'



Release the reason

Allow the pain

The actors change

But the plays the same



Release the reason

Allow the pain

The actors change

But the plays the same



C'mon



In the narrows

In the narrows

In the narrows



Ugh!



UGH!



I'm on the mic

Stepping up to sucka's

while were drumming out the style

and I do it with a smile



When I put punks on trial

Taking 'em back again

Yeah the name of the comprehender



The style I drop is going on and on

To the punks to recognize the style

Andrealize

That I'm not no Punk Kid

Just stepping up for the mic hit



Ugh!

In the narrows



In the narrows

In the narrows

In the narrows



Ugh!
