Blacksteel: In The Hour Of Chaos Lyrics

Blacksteel: In the Hour Of ChaosI got a letter from the governmentThe other dayI opened and read itIt said they were suckersThey wanted me for their army or whateverPicture me given' a damn - I said neverHere is a land that never gave a damnAbout a brother like me and myselfBecause they never didI wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...It occured to meThe suckers had authorityCold sweatin' as I dwell in my cellHow long has it been?They got me sittin' in the state penI gotta get out - but that thought was thought beforeI contemplated a plan on the cell floorI'm not a fugitive on the runBut a brother like me begun - to be another onePublic enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'allTo criticize me some crime - never the lessThey could not understand that I'm a Black manAnd I could never be a veteranOn the strength, the situation's unrealI got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steelThey got me rottin' in the time that I'm servin'Tellin' you what happened the same time they're throwin'4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh wellThe same motherfucker got us livin' is his hellYou have to realize - what its a form of slaveryOrganized under a swarm of devilsStraight up - word'em up on the levelThe reasons are several, most of them federalHere is my plan anyway and I sayI got gusto, but only some I can trust - yoSome do a bid from 1 to 10And I never did, and plus I never beenI'm on a tier where no tears should ever fallCell block and locked - I never clock it y'all'Cause time and time again timeThey got me servin' to those and to themI'm not a citizenBut ever when I catch a C-OSleepin' on the job - my plan is on go-aheadOn the strength, I'ma tell you the dealI got nothin' to lose'Cause I'm goin' for the steelYou know I caught a C-OFallin' asleep on death rowI grabbed his gun - then he did what I said soAnd everyman's got servedAlong with the time they servedDecency was deservedTo understand my demandsI gave a warnin' - I wanted the governor, y'allAnd plus the warden to knowThat I was innocent -Because I'm militantPosing a threat, you bet it's fuckin' up the governmentMy plan said I had to get out and break northJust like with Oliver's neckI had to get off - my boys had the feds in checkThey couldn't do nuthin'We had a force to instigate a prison riotThis is what it takes for peaceSo I just took the pieceBlack for Black inside time to cut the leashFreedom to get out - to the ghetto - no sell out6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head outBut I'll give 'em a chance ,cause I'm civilizedAs for the rest of the world, they can't realizeA cell is hell - I'm a rebel so I rebelBetween bars, got me thinkin' like an animalGot a woman C-O to call me a copterShe tried to get away, and I popped herTwice, rightNow who wanna get nice?I had 6 C-Os, now it's 5 to goAnd I'm serious - call me deliriousBut I'm still a captiveI gotta rap thisTime to break as time grows intenseI got the steel in my right handNow I'm lookin' for the fenceI ventured into the courtyardFollowed by 52 brothersBruised, battered, and scarred but hardGoin' out with a bangReady to bang outBut power from the skyAnd from the tower shots rang outA high number of dose - yesAnd some came closeFigure I trigger my steelStand and hold my postThis is what I mean - an anti-nigger machineIf I come out alive and then they won't - come cleanAnd then I threw up my steel bullets - flew upBlew up, who shot...What, who, the bazooka was whoAnd to my rescue, it was the S1WsSecured my getaway, so I just gotawayThe joint broke, from the black smokeThen they saw it was rougher thatn the average bluffer'Cause the steel was black, the attitude exactNow the chase is on tellin' you to c'mon53 brothers on the run, and we are gone
