Right Here Right Now

And all of this without making a pact with the devil
I'm a recognized foe, to the industry a rebel
And Mark is a planet on his own in a corner of the
Galaxy, where amateurs ain't allowed to approach
Systematical destruction of your ships have been authorized
Targets are neutralized, eyes
Focused on the enemy to see how they act
Who'll be the first to attack?
If it's them should we react?
We think about it deep for hours on end
We plan, we don't sleep 'cause nobody's a friend
We defend to protect the young, the next generation
On the wings of the likes of us
Flying without direction as they learn the ropes
But for now they're surviving on dreams and hopes
We direct them to the best of our knowledge in the direction
Of a route that's safe to take so they can break
The monotony, for those who wanna be
Emcees and producers it's never gonna be easy

There's a war going on right here
Right now and you know it but you're lacking the power
Back in the tower, soldiers are waiting for orders
With mics and batteries and tapes and tape recorders

We'll be breaking the doors if they ain't letting us in
Let the slaughter begin, we came to win
Take that to your leader, sealed with a diss
Tell him we're better prepared his name's on a list
Of those we had to capture and bring to trial
For keeping us underground, suffocating our styles
It's been a while since we initiated this
Whole scenario, activate mechanism
Make them listen, demoralize yes men
With brain cells missing, demolish opposition

There's a war going on right here, right now
And you know it but you're lacking the power
Back in the tower, soldiers are waiting for orders
With mics and batteries and tapes and tape recorders

So you thought you had us beaten, in the palm of your hand
Wrapped around your little finger thinking you were the man
Big mistake, we're teaching the kids to stand on their feet to achieve
The future is bright, what a relief
I thought the hardships would never end
Then, I thought of a plan, first to gather the innocent
Then to educate them and give them a hand
Lead them out of this place, the land of the damned
Like Moses 'cause life was never a bed of roses
It was hell to begin for entertainers and composers
This is where the buck stops, the act drops
And all hell breaks loose, I'll make them realise
We can do this for self if the intention is right
We can battle the foe with lollipops and survive
You arrive in a chauffer driven limousine
We arrive on a bus to defeat you
It's over, your chauffer acts like a baby
With his baby bottle taken while he's drinking
We could've done this in '86
But the money was tight and it was all politics
It's been a long while, since they left you
With nothing quite real to step to
I'm sorry that they kept you in a vacuum
Drained your mind clean but I'm back to
Reinstate a little bit of faith in the equation
So I'm sticking to the plan 'cause I have to
It's all about to blow out of proportion, the ocean
Seems like a puddle after the rain is gone
The world is my chicken breast, I'm like Everest
Higher than the rest, one of the world's best
Expert entertainers climbing the ladder quick
Trapped by politics to the point that I'm sick
It's been a while since we initiated this
Whole scenario, activate mechanism
Make them listen, demoralize yes men
With brain cells missing, demolish opposition

There's a war going on right here, right now
And you know it but you're lacking the power
Back in the tower, soldiers are waiting for orders
With mics and batteries and tapes and tape recorders
