Battle Flag Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
I said hallelujah to the sixteenth loyal Benz
You'll get down on your muthafuckin' knees
And it's time for your sickness again
Come on and tell me what you need now
Tell me what is making you bleed
We got two more minutes and
We gonna cut to what you need

[Chorus]
So one of six so tell me
One do you want to live
And one of seven tell me
Is it time for your muthafuckin' ass to give
And tell me is it time to get down on your muthafuckin' knees
Come on baby tell me, yes we aim to please

[REFRAIN]
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees

[VERSE 2]
Hey Mr. Policeman, is it time for getting away?
Is it time for driving down the motherfuckin' road
And running from your ass today
Now tell me if do you agree now
Or tell me if I'm makin' you bleed
I got'a two more minutes and
I'm gonna cut to what you need
[Chorus]
So one of six so tell me
One do you want to live
And one of seven tell me
Is it time for your muthafuckin' ass to give
Tell me is it time to get down on your muthafuckin' knees
Come on baby tell me, yes we aim to please

[REFRAIN]
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees

[POST-Chorus]
Hallelujah
It's sixteen in the morning
It's time to get down
It's time to let down
And one more time
And one time for your mother
And one time for your mother
And one time for your mother
And one time

[REFRAIN]
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
Is it time for me to get down, get down on my knees
[OUTRO]
We live in a world overrun by terrorist
Terrorists, [?] on their back
[?]
[?] camera
What, no flash again?
[?] teach the kids that love is bad
[?] brains on vacation

We need a new breed
Stand up, organize
[?] television
[?] know how to read
[?] fight and breed
No child is bad from the beginning
They only imitate their atmospheres
They're in the company of terrorists, alcoholics and [?]
What's to be expected?
It's three minus three, uh huh
Absolutely nothing

We need a new breed
Stand up, organize
A new progression of the new breed
Stand up, organize
A new progression of the new breed
Stand up, organize
A new progression of the new breed
Stand up, organize
Sexual [?]
Sexual [?] how to be free
Sexual [?]
Sexual [?]
