The 34th Rule of Acquisition explicitly states, "War is good for business."

lyrics

predator drones, shooting up a terrorist's home
level the whole neighborhood, toast the flesh and the bones
armchair warfare from a desk in your home
mobilized assault command from a text in your phone

wrecking ball your library if the target's a scholar
collateral damage won't matter, 'less it's pardoned by allah
so you can stop with the drama, or respond with a fatwa
i'll still sell all my weapons to the cats with the dollars

talking shabby battle armor so the casualties rise
assault rifles and tanks, so if you happen to die
more money in my pockets, cash for demise
the free market is Heaven and my stock's on the rise

lord of warriors, fuck it i'm selling more to ya
hollow tip bullets sending soldiers to their glory or
either that or holes in the ground, and i know how it sounds
but it's worth it if the dough is profound


SHOUTS OUT TO THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!!

HALLIBURTON I SEE YOU!

BAE SYSTEMS, I SEE YOU, BAE!

BLACKWATER MURKING EVERYBODY OUT THIS MUTHA FUCKA
IN IRAQ GETTING RACKS ON RACKS DAMMIT!

NORTHROP GRUMMAN GETTING FILTHY GWAP!

GENERAL DYNAMICS STACKING THAT BLOOD MONEY!!

BOEING AIR, I SEE YOU!!

LOCKHEED MARTIN, TRYNA BUILD IN SYRIA, I SEE YOU!

FOX NEWS PLACING BETS ON IRAN. I SEE YOU!!!!


got seven continents gripped, privatized earth and the water
tryna find new corners to conquer
you sacrifice a pawn, he's king forever
so we multiply the slaughter, we feed off martyrs

war crimes defined to keep boots grounded
keep troops surrounding your village so who's doubting?
indoctrinate the natives, love us or get devoured
if a silenced sniper rifle kills a rebel does he make a sound?

we monopolize the carnage in your town
if you're slow to comply you will not survive
step one local mercenaries come for your sons
step two, sending troops to your daughters with guns

step three, wait, matter fact, yo don't hate
when you've seen all five then humanity won't survive
each one of y'all guys that says capitalism's still alive
like y'all ain't in agreement with scIce
I said it's dead, mother fucker!

Khemmeta San Francisco, California

Khemmeta's music strives to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, or are shouted down when they do. His upcoming EP "When I Get To It" produced by Stephonathan (1/3 of both Pride City Purpose & Chedda Guap Boyz) is silly, nerdy, romantic, anti-nihilistic and defiant. He can't wait for you to get to it this [December]. ... more
