Children of the Revolution - Slaine, Ill Bill

Yeah, yeah, check it out

Antidepressants and anti vibe nose candy, tan yon high

Red huffy bike propping nanny on the handle bars

I push the Dukes of Hazzard big wheel, pulled the brake

Chase the ice cream truck down the street

Full mistake

Caught a cramp fat boy style since a youngin

Ketchup stains on my shirt, look what I’m becoming

Reagan got shot, Bush became president later

Clinton got his dick sucked, Ken style was a hater

About your pose voice drop

Yeah, got an oct to blow

Lugers

My socks when I rocked them yo

The fix is in

The best cars are made right in Michigan

Listening to Beastie Boys on cassette deck from a boombox

Pedophile rumors from the king with the moonwalk

Moms calling out my name I ain’t in for dinner yet

TVs with antennas that was way before the internet

Look at the news on the TV as the world turns

I saw the world change and the World Trade burn

I don’t believe in hardly anything but evolution

They should have killed us all, the children of the revolution

Guidos rocking Pete Rose hairdos and speedos

While Scarface schooled us all on how to move was a kilo

We went from rocking Michael Jackson and Hall and Oates

To rocking 8 ball jackets and 8 balls of coke

Seen the 80s when the dukie truck chains was called ropes

And Dapper Dan splashed Gucci logos on all of his clothes

Reaganomics was popping

So was Riker’s Island and Spofford

In '87, '88 half of my projects was locked up

Same time as Iran contra and Ollie North

Dreams of Def Jam, Profile, Tommy Boy

Ralph McDaniels in the afternoon passed the shrooms

Light the weed, catch me in the apartment 2C

Playing Break Street on my Commodore 64

Listening to breakbeats, Mr. Magic and Marley Marl

Either that or a new 68

The world turns while the revolution’s viewed with a shifty face

People man DJing in a park with the lethal hands

Puerto rican man

Jamaican playing with perico grands

Gorbachev birthmark on his head, the wars off

Slayer and Metallica besides that his sword is soft

Met a wise Public Enemy

Voice of the ghetto vizor

Evolution of a revolution is televised

Bin laden in the CIA now they telling lies

Escobar, King in South America and selling pies

The devil rise as another empire falls

The enterprise allies on weaponized fire balls

At first claiming a higher cause

As soon central lies intelligence reveal their bottom plans on then I ain’t

yours

We went from innocence to cynicism

From heavy metal lyricists to hip-hop lyricism

From animation to live action, suspended animation

To sleepers cells To Manchurian assassins
