Mello Crum - One Man Army Lyrics

We meet in an age of both knowledge and ignorance
Those who came before us rode the first wave
This generation does not intend to founder in the backwash
We mean to follow it, we mean to lead it

How you make a song nowadays without bragging bout your pay?
If you ain't getting money nobody cares what you say
It's funny 'cause the poor and the rich are pointing fingers
Well, bitch, I'm feeling like it's hard to relate
Ain't nobody waiting 'round for another delay
I mean in this day and age everybody creates
Take a look at the industry
The feelings are finished
I see handful of genius at work
And it's killing me
I'm only working if it's a boat in a bottle
Ain't a thing less than full throttle
No switches on the toggle
But a bunch of these records are on the market for credit
And all you need some money to go and get it
F*cking shameful
Y'all know damn well that shit ain't what you came for
And I know damn well that this ain't what I aim for
But instead of pointing fingers I'm risking it all to fix it
The system, I'm 'bout to twist it

All night long don't stop 'till the morning
Show them just what we owning
Break-neck speed
We punch through your floor and
F*ck your shit up, we going in
This that good shit
You want it
Can't stop right now
F*ck it, let's go for broke, man
Break-neck speed
We punch through your floor and
F*ck your shit up, we going in

Another one man army
Ain't a better way to strike when you owning the party
But celebrate it right or you notice it hardly
See the company you keep wants you to be McCartney
But a lotta others don't
Better start a mutiny, say'll be taking the boat
But you gotta let 'em see how you planning to stay afloat
Tricks are only for short term
As far I know money talk is cheap
I mean the rebels need a G.O.A.T.
I know what it takes
Never on the brakes
I'm crushing all the gates
When I try to bounce around the earth quakes
And I wanna take time to let you all shake
Thinking that I'm looking for a co-sign?
Seems you ain't notice my approach
I'm all of my fans, all of my hands are on deck
All of 'em dance, all of my plans I f*cking checked

All night long don't stop 'till the morning
Show them just what we owning
Break-neck speed
We punch through your floor and
F*ck your shit up, we going in
This that good shit
You want it
Can't stop right now
F*ck it, let's go for broke, man
Break-neck speed
We punch through your floor and
F*ck your shit up, we going in

Reality is catching up with me
Met a couple people who don't really f*ck with me
Just for creativity they wanna smother me
I pity all of them who can afford the luxury
Of not having an open mind
F*cking sad
What the hell are you expecting to find outside your head?
When all you like is all that you know or been told
And everything else gotta be checked by John Doe
Painful to know that I'm right
For me and you both
The game isn't built to invite a whole New Hope
Taking me back into time
But not too long ago
I came here, and I'm doing fine
Can't stop me when I'm on a roll
Too far out, they'll never catch me, no
Too damn loud, don't get attached
See goals aren't shot from the backseat
And shotgun rides never hit Cadillac speed
I'm back, B

And in my arms I hold you dearly
My oh my, you
Anything you wish, I'm running
God I'm such a fool
And in my arms I hold you dearly
My oh my, you
Anything you wish, I'm running
God I'm such a fool
And in my arms I hold you dearly
My oh my, you
Anything you wish, I'm running
God I'm such a fool

We have had our failures
But so have others
Even if they do not admit them
And they may be less public
They'll make sure we are behind
And will be behind for some time
We do not intend to stay behind
And in this decade we'll make up
Not because they are easy
But because they are hard
Because that goal will serve to organize
And measure the best of our energy and skills
Because that challenge is one we are willing to accept
One we are unwilling to postpone
And one we intend to win
