Pharoahe Monch Calculated Amalgamation lyrics

I was determined as damaged
Psychologically and still managed
To gain a new perspective on the terms
Surround yourself with greatness

Found myself standing in a room full of mirrors
And even my reflections
Disrespects you like a freshmen during hazing
What an amazing assessment

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 pawn 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, fuck 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 shot fired inspired
By hope to arouse a nation

I, I am the Renegade
