Dark City (KuRaI ToKaI)

[Chishiki]

Mind detect mind / The movement is growing
Don't need one thin dime / Come by / We're enrolling
Want an interview? / Take a right at the gun shop...
Go down the alley... / Jump the gate with a padlock...
Open the red door... / Drop down to the basement...
You'll hear Rebel yells... / Floating up through the pavement...
Now for the interview / Something all recruits go through...
Don't sweat it / Be cool / Cause we already know you.

You willing to die? / You could be slain
Patrol the Dark City / And get called on ya game
Live at all costs? / Then you will be captured
Then we're double-crossed / And you skull is fractured
Quick to get angry? / Quick to react?
You'll go out with a bang / But end up on ya back
Worry about ya rep and you're susceptible to shame
Love the people too much and their hurt is your pain.

[Chishiki]

Victory assured / Know where and when to battle
Employ large and small numbers / And trust your comrades will
Be all level of Rebelz / With unified reason
Waiting fully prepared / For Unprepared legions
The Ministers are capable / No one interferes with us
Ultimately / There's a guarantee / We'll be victorious
Regulate Victory and Defeat / Cultivate the Tao
Pretenders beat a retreat / Chishiki manifests the how...

[Chishiki]

We ciphered in the park / Dark City of rain
And pain / Now we're marked / But we can't be contained
By the pretenders / Seen through the filth and the grime
In Ivory Towers high above deaf, dumb, 'n' blind
Two million in chains / The rest on a leash
A credit card payment keeps 'em tied to the beast
But one in twenty are Rebelz and we keep it locked
Beat back gunships aplenty / Even tactical SWAT

A nation with no borders / At Rebel Headquarters
When I look out at my people / I see Rebel soldiers
Call to arms! Let's Go! / Got balls? Walk with me!
Echo Jericho... / We'll maul the walled city!
With the power of one / Underground opposition
Paint outta squirt guns / Cameras outta commission
Sabotage and be ghost / Viruses are effective
Turn dot com to compost / That's our objective...

the few respected as the many/
each hue respective of jah's flesh// selective process///
but we wakin up
poo' man ain't fake enough
we've learned to love ourselves and chase the day for waking us////
compelled to stay awake: relate or hush/
bust only for the sake of such, when i say trust: such is only cause the sakes a must

[Chishiki]

They never come out / High rises interlocked
Secure elevated walkways / Lobby entrances blocked
Bullet proof windows / With Fresh air inside
We breathe their exhaust / How many have died?

[Chishiki]

Up the morale / of guards posted alone
Give 'em they due / for patrollin the zone
Build with ' em and be out / Chishiki in a hurry
His location in doubt / His identity blurry

North sector Red Door / just nine blocks from the goal
Three pretenders appeared / and established control
"We got the Minister of Strategy" is what they said
Looks like things are goin' badly / but I ain't yet dead

I suppose for a second / I was ill at ease
With three six-shooters all up in my grill piece
But I got the Tao / and greater agility
Balance Heavenly and Earthly mental abilities

At the opportune moment / I overcame my opponents
Stronger / Better trained / Their loss is my gain
Unrepentant to the end / I gave em a choice
Shot with their own guns / for ignoring my voice

[Chishiki]

Respected or rejected / Keep my eyes on the prize
Always keep it movin / Cause I know time flies
The darkness is upon us / Can't fall behind
Plantin seeds of truth in the minds of the unblind...

I sell my rebellion off the sleeve of my shirt, cuz i know a bowl of soup, could never hurt, especially when, the whole rebellion, is my idea, but they won't let me in.

[Chishiki]

You supposedly own them / They're all around / True
But empty music and ads constantly surround you
Listen to the same song every hour
Same commercials twice as often / brain cell devoured
Radio plays a big part in conditioning slaves
I'm 'bout to write a blueprint for taking back the airwaves...

[Chishiki]

First thing ya need / is transmission equipment
Get some delivered somewhere / and hijack the shipment
Amost ready to rip it / But you need to frustrate
The powers that be as they triangulate
Your location / I suggest a van or two
Watch the Hip Hop generation organize a coup
Make sure the sound is good / Let it be understood
We're bringin' the underground to every neighborhood

[Chishiki]

Peace, people, don't be mad at me / I'm fighting apathy
We're taking turns this is the Minister of Strategy
and I'm glad to be / chattin' with those on the fence
Recognize the pattern / Lower pay / Higher rents
Feelin tense with a sense of bein' pressed for a dollar
Am I holding things up let's go to the next caller
What's ya name? "Like it matter" / Where ya at? "Like you care"
Well speak ya mind man cause that's why we're here
"I'm feeling corporate radio... Only the best shine...
and looking for alternatives takes too much of my time."
But the best don't get on / "Yeah right" / Yo, are you hearin' me?
"It seem like you believe in some kind of conspiracy...
Talent and skills alone oughta cut it."
Don't forget the corporate marketing budget...
Well that about does it / I sense your MuKanShin
I've had enough of this wack cat. / "What the hell's that mean?"

[Chishiki]

Come out the corner look around
To find the source of that deep pounding sound
look in the sky and what do i see
darkness steadily approaching Chishiki
turn and run for the nearest red door
locked onto by infrared and heat sensors
