lyrics

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do,
when the man is robbin you.
Ya gotta prove what ya gotta prove.
Even if a hand is stoppin you.
We are who we are.
We aren't what we seem.
We start to depart when we're starting to bleed.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Yeah.
Ya have to pursue, what you have to improve.
Forget about curfew and the house that hid you.
The system's out to get me.
They think my albums deadly.
They wanna tear me apart and change my name,
for sharing my art and any stake I claim.
It had to happen this way.
I guess I'll force it.
Grab all the torches and burn down whats corporate.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do,
when a cops on top of you.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
People round here don't watch the news.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
I guess it all depends on who we prosecute.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do,
but only what the law constitutes.
