lyrics

Intro
It’s the remix, y’all,
Come on,
It goes, A to the N to the D to the Y,
You bump these tracks, ‘cause you know that they’re fly,
M to the E to the T to the Z,
You hear this game, but don’t believe that it’s me!

Verse
Rocking the mic and doing it right,
Yo, I’m back on the keys with a flow that be tight,
Get used to this new sound and new light,
Packing sweet beats and a hook with bite,
Alright, let me talk about the story,
Athenians represent themselves as a poor breed,
Can’t think, ignoring the words of your leader,
I’ll take on his role, though it does bore me,
Call me Nicias and I’ll discuss what we need,
A million billion men to take on Sicily,
Understand what I mean? Fuck no, we won’t go,
Forget about it, yo, you shits don’t know,
Let me speak for a second, hear every word,
We need more resources, not deterred?
What are you, retarded? We’ll get wiped out,
So listen to what I say right now.

Chorus
I don’t think you understand,
This is one dumbass plan,
I’ll do all that I can,
But, yo, you gotta understand we don’t stand a chance,
What good is democracy,
When all y’all are re-res?
No, why can’t you just see,
Yo, that we shouldn’t be attacking Sicily?

Verse
Now, I know you want to go, but I want a second vote,
Elders tell the youngers only morons would say no,
Realize we’re fighting guys who don’t quit,
‘Cause their force is large enough to give us shit,
I’m telling you exactly what we need to take this mission,
But wishin’ that you retards would get some fuckin’ vision,
Now I’m getting angry, ‘cause y’all don’t understand,
Sparta’s right there, let’s kill them while we can,
Rhymes a little tighter, fighting what I might,
Or lighting a new fire, tire from all-nighters,
Why bring some triremes to take it to the wire?
Hell, I’m not a liar, we’ll die and not get higher,
Respect, check, all wet, set deck, and in debt,
Heck, hell, fuck all, what a total wreck,
But this is a democracy,
So, the choice is up to you and not me.

Chorus
I don’t think you understand,
This is one dumbass plan,
I’ll do all that I can,
But, yo, you gotta understand we don’t stand a chance,
What good is democracy,
When all y’all are re-res?
No, why can’t you just see,
Yo, that we shouldn’t be attacking Sicily?

Verse
Seriously, can’t you see?
That we can’t take on Sicily,
This little speech I try to speak,
We shouldn’t go, though we ain’t weak,
Understand,
We need too much money,
And it ain’t worth it,
To me,
Yo, so try to get a brain, so you can realize,
All of you are ignorant of the island’s size,
If you all were wise, you’d all be on my side,
No matter of pride, but all of us would die,
Sicily is so far away, why attack?
When people closer to home make us watch our back,
Make us watch our stack, concentrate on that,
‘Cause if you think about it, it’s where the fighting’s at.

Chorus
I don’t think you understand,
This is one dumbass plan,
I’ll do all that I can,
But, yo, you gotta understand we don’t stand a chance,
What good is democracy,
When all y’all are re-res?
No, why can’t you just see,
Yo, that we shouldn’t be attacking Sicily?

Bridge
Don’t make me beg, don’t make me beg,
Every little thing has already been said,
Don’t make me beg, don’t make me beg,
Are the younger trying to make sure the older are all dead?
Don’t make me beg, don’t make me beg,
Wait, one more thing to say,
And this won’t just go away,
Yo, all y’all kids will pay.

Verse
Yo, twist this, hit, miss, this shit’s in the wrist,
Pissed, hold it with bliss, listless hipness,
Vote no, bitches, this district is stupid,
You win in the end, ‘cause arguing is useless,
It loses this logic, you saw it and shot it,
I lost it, you got it, pawed at it then caught it,
I fought it, but aw shit, it rotted, you mocked it,
Please stop it, you bought it and rocked the boat wanted.

Chorus
I don’t think you understand,
This is one dumbass plan,
I’ll do all that I can,
But, yo, you gotta understand we don’t stand a chance,
What good is democracy,
When all y’all are re-res?
No, why can’t you just see,
Yo, that we shouldn’t be attacking Sicily?
