Metal Gauntlets

[Hook 2x]
Guns and knives, vests, metal gauntlets
Hoods under siege and engagement in war
Crime rate risin', diseases are spreadin'
Mankind'll turn extinct soon, it's armageddon

[Verse 1]
Why you prayin' for a change, it's apocalypse now
It don't need a Nastradamus to see, what's going down
Behind our backs, peace treaties are signed
War is used to test weapons, civilizations decline

The origin of mankind prone to die
When Europe export food at a much lower price
Modern slavery, in Africa's diamond mines
And y'all wanna ban us for rhymin' bout the life

In the hoods that we in, we slay our own kinfolk
Who's gon' blame Hartz IV? Man, we been broke
So one sling coke, while another rob a bank
And the third one on the street sellin' indo

Parents fail to guide they kids, they take knives
And stab a motherfucker for not passin' the chips
People scream "Fuck the world", fuck y'all too
The ones that's to blame for this shit is me and you

[Hook 2x]

[Verse 2]
Imagine your daughter dying in your arms
From the arms of a sniper working for a government you didn't want
(Rest in peace, Neda)
You're working hard, still you're poor, the spiritual leader
Decides the tyranny'll be repeated once more

You come to a point, where even the Qu'ran
And his teachings couldn't help ease the pain, it's alarming
To see, how people look away when seeing the violence
On TV, it's real in Iran, they bleed to be free

The USA is gonna keep their hands out of this
And show cowardice, I know a lot of people will flip out at this
But, the problem is, we can't do shit but demonstrate
And be called terrorists for it, our opinion ain't

Worth the two cents the each of us would add
To a million man march that leaves thousands dead
North Korea's building bombs, they're inclined
To end our lives, now truly these are marvelous times, man

[Hook 2x]

[Verse 3]
I done sold my only TV, and didn't see the news
Prob'ly still know more about the Gaza Strip than you
You watch the gossipin', discussin' if it's true
That this dude flipped out and beat Rihanna's face blue

Where's the old values like honesty and vigilance
Once they tried to legalize the marriage of siblings
A rapist gets two years on probation
Seven for armed robbery, justice in this nation

Is non-existant, are you listenin'
If laws that weak, why the crime rate peak, huh?
It ain't the youth, it's the restriction of arms
The government'll turn Berlin to a ghetto, women

That don't find a job, have a kid, so they put on stilettos
To sell they body on the street, till they put up a tax
And young girls fall victim to lust, be uncareful
Get killed after havin' forced sex...
