Every official that comes in 
Cripples us leaves us maimed 
Silent and tamed 
And with out flesh and bones 
He builds his homes 

Southern fists 
Rise through tha jungle mist 
Clenched to smash power so cancerous 
A black flag and a red star 
A rising sun loomin' over Los Angles 
Cause for Raza livin in La La 
Is like Gaza on to tha dawn of Intifada 
Reach for tha lessons tha masked pass on 
And seize tha metropolis 
It's you that it's built on 

Everything can change on a new years day 
As everything changed on new years day 
Everything can change on a new years day 
As everything changed on new years day 

War within a breath 
It's land or death 

Their existence is a crime 
Their sear their robe their tie 
Their land deeds 
Their hired guns 
They're the crime 

Shots heard underground round tha rapture 
Tha world's eye captured 
At last in a Mexican pasture 
Tha masked screaming land or death 
Within a breath 
A war from tha depth of time 
Who shot four puppet governors in a line 
Who shook all tha world bankers 
Who think they can rhyme 
Shot tha landlords who knew it was mine 
Yes a war from tha depth of time 

Everything can change on a new years day 
As everything changed on new years day 
Everything can change on a new years day 
As everything changed on new years day 
War within a breath 
It's land or death
