Get your power, your masks and capes Brooklyn take what you can't back I a lot of cats hate that All I can say a city full of walls you can post complaints at All the and believers adjust your receivers "I it," you can taste it through the speakers The three six sketch lyrics so visual They my rhyme books at your nearest home video
