about

This song is about how MCs need to band together and spread the word to the public, especially those who hate the radio, that they need to vocally in united fashion, say "no" to big record label radio conformity by automated playlists, and get real DJs playing music they want to hear. It also talks about the "pay to play" payola of radio where if you spend money in advertising it will cover up the payola. having a mass of people speaking up against this will "destroy the tyrant" which is Big Corporate Radio

lyrics

This is a ...

A call to arms for every MC
It's a war against corruption on money push policy
Suit up and move out, take back the airwaves
or watch your music careers get buried alive in shallow graves

Destroy the system. The populous is force fed
where every MC's got a price on their forehead
Use the mic as a weapon and together we're a shield
Open the ears of the civilians and level the battlefield

Shell shock the turrets of the inquisition
They'll try to play a game of conquer and division
Storms the gates, detonate the roadblocks
This goes for all music, not singularly hip hop

so what you gonna do? You gonna fly the flag,
or be the fodder, leavin you bound and gagged
Make your voices heard and break the silence
Make your voices heard, destroy the tyrant

Callin all MCs
It's about time
Callin all MCs
get on the frontline
The war is on
Raise up you mic
The war is on
Prepare ta fight

I pledge allegiance, to the Underground of a true hip hop nation

Internet, TV, and radio's corrupt
from the powers that be with a push of a button
Ya want that single played in their prime rotation
ya better shell out them bills to advertise on the station.

Back in the day, DJs played songs in real time
Not automated playlist – that's just – another war crime
pay to play it's finest, don't buy it
wanna shut us down, ha, just try it

I got army of MCs who'd be at the front line
blow the chumps off those charts like a hurricanes on some wind chimes
The many outweigh the few and the numbers are stacked
higher than those greenbacks that you aquire from kickbacks.

MCs band together the revolution will be televised
And put and end to major labels and media genocide
Make your voices heard and break the silence
Make your voices heard, destroy the tyrant

Callin all MCs
It's about time
Callin all MCs
get on the frontline
The war is on
Raise up you mic
The war is on
Prepare ta fight

DESTROY THE TYRANT! (4x)
