                                        Rage Against The Machine -  Blacksteel: In The Hour Of Chaos слова песни 
                                    
                                    
                             
                            
                            
                                
     
 
                                                                     
        I got a letter from the government 
        The other day 
        I opened and read it 
        It said they were suckers 
        They wanted me for their army or whatever 
        Picture me given` a damn - I said never 
        Here is a land that never gave a damn 
        About a brother like me and myself 
        Because they never did 
        I wasn`t wit` it, but just that very minute... 
        It occured to me 
        The suckers had authority 
        Cold sweatin` as I dwell in my cell 
        How long has it been? 
        They got me sittin` in the state pen 
        I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before 
        I contemplated a plan on the cell floor 
        I`m not a fugitive on the run 
        But a brother like me begun - to be another one 
        Public enemy servin` time - they drew the line y`all 
        To criticize me some crime - never the less 
        They could not understand that I`m a Black man 
        And I could never be a veteran 
        On the strength, the situation`s unreal 
        I got a raw deal, so I`m goin` for the steel 
 
        They got me rottin` in the time that I`m servin` 
        Tellin` you what happened the same time they`re throwin` 
        4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh well 
        The same motherfucker got us livin` is his hell 
        You have to realize - what its a form of slavery 
        Organized under a swarm of devils 
        Straight up - word`em up on the level 
        The reasons are several, most of them federal 
        Here is my plan anyway and I say 
        I got gusto, but only some I can trust - yo 
        Some do a bid from 1 to 10 
        And I never did, and plus I never been 
        I`m on a tier where no tears should ever fall 
        Cell block and locked - I never clock it y`all 
        `Cause time and time again time 
        They got me servin` to those and to them 
        I`m not a citizen 
        But ever when I catch a C-O 
        Sleepin` on the job - my plan is on go-ahead 
        On the strength, I`ma tell you the deal 
        I got nothin` to lose 
        `Cause I`m goin` for the steel 
 
        You know I caught a C-O 
        Fallin` asleep on death row 
        I grabbed his gun - then he did what I said so 
        And everyman`s got served 
        Along with the time they served 
        Decency was deserved 
        To understand my demands 
        I gave a warnin` - I wanted the governor, y`all 
        And plus the warden to know 
        That I was innocent - 
        Because I`m militant 
        Posing a threat, you bet it`s fuckin` up the government 
        My plan said I had to get out and break north 
        Just like with Oliver`s neck 
        I had to get off - my boys had the feds in check 
        They couldn`t do nuthin` 
        We had a force to instigate a prison riot 
        This is what it takes for peace 
        So I just took the piece 
        Black for Black inside time to cut the leash 
        Freedom to get out - to the ghetto - no sell out 
        6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head out 
        But I`ll give `em a chance, cause I`m civilized 
        As for the rest of the world, they can`t realize 
        A cell is hell - I`m a rebel so I rebel 
        Between bars, got me thinkin` like an animal 
        Got a woman C-O to call me a copter 
        She tried to get away, and I popped her 
        Twice, right 
        Now who wanna get nice? 
        I had 6 C-Os, now it`s 5 to go 
        And I`m serious - call me delirious 
        But I`m still a captive 
        I gotta rap this 
        Time to break as time grows intense 
        I got the steel in my right hand 
        Now I`m lookin` for the fence 
 
        I ventured into the courtyard 
        Followed by
