[Intro - Pharoahe Monch - talking]
Yeah
Yeah
Uh huh
Uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh
[Verse 1 - Pharoahe Monch]
I was determined as damaged, psychologically
And still managed to gain a new perspective on the terms
Surround yourself with greatness
Found myself standin in a room full of mirrors
And even my reflections disrespects you like a freshmen during hazin
(What an amazing a****sment)
The police book me for book smarts but who the promoters book now?
Raise the bar so high that the bar is afraid to look down
Spend nights in a castle, at dawn I'm a King
Play p*** to a Queen, put her throat in the tabernacle
So actually you should build a statue of my likeness in the center of
the city
(The women riddled with rose petals)
No justice, no peace, no settle
We Are Renegades, f*** your gold medal
The people are the majority
You can't survive without us, you need us
Attitude, never defeat us
Rebels, so please believe us
War on the streets of Egypt, my vocals a total eclipse
of Totalitarianism, you seem to mistreat us
So this is calculated amalgamation
One s*** fired inspired by hope to arouse a nation
(I), I am the renegade (renegade ...)
Yeah
Yeah
Uh huh
Uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
