Ricochet Lyrics
Sweep concentration camps with blood hounds. Night lamps lurking in the cold and damp fox hole. 1969, Vietnam never seen the dead calm type mode. From sun down till crack of dawn, dancing in the napalm, mamma's first born train to kill the calm. Dispatch the recon, reinforce legion, penetrate the strong hold with my ensemble. My platoon purple heart, trigger smart, lay them down off the last round at the birth of sundown.
PRECHORUS
we tear it down so what you gonna do?
Chorus
YES YES YA'LL EVERYBODY RICOCHET OF THE WALL YA'LL WE GON' BRAWL BRAWL x4
{Intrusion 6 o'clock } Swamp sleeper, booby trap barb wires in case peace plans back fire. Bullet wounds and knife scars till my lungs expire, all I got left is last words for messiah. There they go, the opposition they got my name on ammunition trying to hold my dominion. Fuck that, let the bayonnet connect, my battle cry resurrect Malcom X releasing full metal jackets. Espionage, rob the blue prints, now we hard to touch, in the clutch, like pentagon documents
REPEAT PRECHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
Mother can you ever forgive me, for taking a life? I'm only 19 becoming a man over seas. I wrote you this letter, under fire can you please talk to God? I think he's mad at me. I sleep in the rice fields for days at time, unable to move, limited food, I'm so cold. And all I have is dreams of holding my son and witnessing a smile from you, love you. Please excuse the blood, I just lost another friend as I'm writing you, miss you. Another one gone and I'm ashamed cause these are days that I'm use to. NIGHTMARES FALL and I cant shake them ...NIGHTMARES FALL and I cant shake them I CANT SHAKE THEM.......I CANT SHAKE THEM
REPEAT CHORUS
Escape from the execution is futile.

sad but true people have to experience that
Just one person has commented, man. I really hate rap, but this song is pretty good to me. I thinks that probably only because it's in The Transporter though.
These guys weren't rap. They were REAL rap-rock. They had two real 'MCs', and a real metal band behind them. I loved them.
Too bad they broke up. I have loved this band for well over a year. This song, though, is now everywhere. It's on a new movie (The Italian Job, I think) and on The Transporter and it was also used as the theme to arena football on NBC. I don't know if that's still on or not. shrugs
GO GET THEIR CD!! It's great.
