Get power, your masks and capes snatched Brooklyn take what you take back I know a lot of hate that All I can say There's a city full of walls you can post at All the and believers adjust your receivers "I feel it," you can taste it through the The three six original lyrics so visual They rent my rhyme books at your nearest video
