Otep Shamaya - Down lyrics

[Verse 1] All my life I was told that I was evil All my life I've been living illegal I'm the one That they love to hate Cause I'm half Mark twain And I'm half Jesse James Words are my weapons To blow them away More disciples with rifles Then the NRA They're playing checkers I'm playing chess [Verse 2] A defiant mental giant I'm never the less When I trample examples Of artificial success They try to bring me down But I'm coming up And it's... [Pre-Chorus](x2) Never enough [Chorus 1] Round & round & round Straight to the bottom Yeah it takes me down Round & round & round Dooooooown! Round & round & round Stuck in my head I can't escape that sound Round & round & round Down motherf**er Yeah, it takes me... DOWN [Verse 3] If the people are sheep Don't blame the shepherd If knowledge is cheap I should be an investor You're the common in the knowledge That I already know Just a common in the sentence That I already wrote It's like history's written in invisible ink So they can own the throne And everything'll repeat In the kingdom of lies The best that money can buy I was born to destroy But I live to defy [Pre-Chorus](x2) [Chorus 2] Round & round & round Straight to the bottom Yeah it takes me down Round & round & round Dooooooown! Round & round & round Stuck in my head I can't escape that sound Round & round & round Down motherf**er Yeah, it takes me... DOWN (x8) [Bridge] I'm the devil you know And I'm the devil you don't Cause you can't command What you can't control No You can't command What you can't control No You can't command What you can't control [Outro] Round & round & round Straight to the bottom Yeah it takes me down Round & round & round Dooooown Round & round & round Stuck in my head I can't escape that sound Round & round & round Dooooown Round & round & round I was born to destroy But I live to defy Round & round & round Down motherf**er Yeah, it takes me...
