Battle Ready - Lyrics by Otep


Lyrics
KUAN!!

simple souls overload as i explode data banks
cuz the earth & space gave birth to this paleface

supreme -- linguistic -- mental machine
your brain cells swell - the intellects extreme

fire fills my veins as eye proclaim my resistance
to the mind-swapping parasites that feed off my existence

as eye -- skin the burn to relearn the royal plan
somewhere out beyond the edges in the depths of spirit land

its authentic, apocalyptic destroyer
damaging challengers -- resurrection, disorder

a monument of crisis - eye strikes this - your dead
line my nest with your soul -- cleansed in bloodshed

[chorus]

BATTLE READY!
poets gonna take control

BATTLE READY
souls violate parole

BATTLE READY
violently invade your home

-- breaking the bones
OF THOSE WHO POSE

commanding the mic -- striking up a verb-fest
mass destruction is my function - time to put it to the test

in combat --- attacking since way back
in the days eye drew praise for the way that eye slayed facts

formulating flows in revolutionary science
its the catastrophic prophet from the anarchist alliance

freaking techniques -- this creature of speech
ewe feel the fury of devastation cuz ewe ewe tasted defeat

eye'm alone on my throne in this universe of fear
royalty divides my soul -- in this role eye'm revered

as the pinnacle -- lyrical master -- queen of disaster
eye ruin brain fluid -- the UNKNOWN IS WHUT EYE'M AFTER

[chorus]

shaking up the world -- just like the 2nd coming of christ
-- when eye write -- thrice divine with this goddess sight

wurdz will flow -- wounds will grow
ewe know -- bones will be exposed from the force that eye unload

its THE SOUL EATER!! -- mic bleeder with the voice of chaos
eye got the nectar of the gods flowing from my mental pod

gather the flock -- alarm your block
tell them the shepherds have come & got the keys to unlock

a holy war -- thru your veins it courses
more lyrical artillery than the armed forces

supernatural -- styles be volatile
its the mind manipulator -- the WAR CHILD

[chorus]

[bridge]

COME!
SHADOW SOLDIERS!

we came to defy - ewe living life as a lie
we embryonic satellites need our freedom to fly

TO WATCH EWE DIE! -- agonizing cries are heard in stereo
eye'm visualizing battlefield scenarios

in the line of fire -- watching empires fall
into attack position -- ELIMINATE ALL!!!

MY SPECIES!!!

[chorus]

[outro]

MY SPECIES!
NO SURRENDER!
