Lyrics

Rage against the machine
The battle of los angeles (1999)
Mic check

Wait a minute now
Ha aha cmon
Wait a minute now
Check

To tha young r to tha e tha b to tha e tha l
Never give up just live up
Fed upon america
I be spittin it up
Rippin it up
Even amount in each cup
To my brothers burning bare feet on black top
Whose curled neath tha shadows
From the gaze of the cops
Whose huntin for 9 to 5s through factory locks
Is now hunted on this modern day auction block

Mic check, ha aha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check, ha aha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?
Mic check, ha aha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check, ha aha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?

Te te te te te huh
Back in

Flexin and mashin
With complex text
Fast and in a fashion
That snap back necks
Quicker than a fed cash tha company checks
Huh, I be tha fire only marley could catch
Yes, I be tha flame in tha cellar beware
Where nameless cold millions gaspin for air
Tha naked and wageless
Scream within cages, huh
They make you pull your shit
Just to get your share, what?

Mic check, ha aha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check, ha aha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?
Mic check, ha aha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Mic check, ha aha
I be the anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, what?

Huh go, huh go, huh go, huh go, huh go, huh go
Huh go, huh go, huh go, huh go, huh go, huh go, huh go, huh go

(Walk e'm) down with the warrior sound, uh

With this mic device
I spit nonfiction
Who got tha power
This be my question
Tha mass or tha few
In this torn nation?
Tha priest, tha book or tha congregation?
Politricks who rob and hold down your zone?
Or those who give tha thieves tha key to their homes?
Tha pig whos free to murder one shucklak
Or survivors who make a move and murder one back?
