[Skit - Stic & M-1 ]
[M-1]
Aye, aye, there go the rescue
Aye, there they go right there
They lookin for us
There go the helicopter
Yo hey aye

[Stic]
Yo don’t do that man, you gon get shot man

[M-1]
We right here
Yo, right here, right here
Aye where yall going?

[Stic]
Man, they ain’t coming to help us man

[M-1]
Where yall going?

[Stic]
We got to help our motherfucking self

[Verse 1 - Stic]
Whatever gonna be I’m ready
Got my AR-15 ready
Water in my canteen ready
When the shit hit the fan I’m ready
Can’t get no dough off your car
Can’t eat no money, no credit
Can’t get no food from the store
But the struggle won’t break my spirit
The strong survive and weak perish
A man with a plan don’t panic
Surviver candles, solar panels
Chapters from my soldier manual
Organization, communication
Clarity, family, solidarity
The dollar bill is just a piece of paper
If the lights go out it ain’t gon save ya
