Black Patch War

Lyrics

guys are gonna wanna, go out and play sometime - just take this advice i give
 'possum hunters posse up, now
 it's in the name of the father we ride, right or wrong only god'll decide
 dismiss diplomacy, don't bother we tried
 they don't play fair, the sharecroppers profits are marginalized
 for law enforcement a farmer resort to homicide
 we fought for our lives before this mess
 check a storied past, patch of distress - a shred of dignity
 a scrap of prospect left in me, leave the pistol empty
 shotgun got somethin' for the enemy, it's the
 black. patch. war chant bangin' on em
 to fifth-third send word of another bank bombin'
 ranks mobbin over the hilltop on horseback
 surround the storehouse, four corners and torch that
 been in the poorhouse before and i don't want that
 for my boys, hear the voice at the point of contact, listen
 don't lose your self-respect, trying to gain revenge
 advice to heed, yeah - follow the rules, i'll lead
 i plead ignorance to business affairs beyond the field
 but on the real what we're dealing with here's extraordinarily
 heavy-handed - look where your property landed
 now come play monopoly with vigilantes and bandits
 i'mma stand this ground, with plans to expand the compound
 interest rise over the cries of "man down!"
 empathize with the planters of antioch, we can't stop now
 divine decree, and how
 the flag of hoptown will be ours now, you're under siege
 you're one of these whether or not you wanna believe
 pledge allegiance - come the son'll receive, the company be
 numbered as somethin' we hung from the trees
 from the seas of judah move a multitude of discontented
 consider me a spiritual descendant
 woe to those makin' unjust laws, what i sayeth
 is like a modern-day isaiah
 may the lord be the judge of my sins, look what we're up against
 more sufferin', no support from the government
 poor and covetous, i pour a cup and it's
 not enough to fill up - we're overrunnin' this
 operation taken down, klan vandalism
 a coups de gras for the law of the land's evangelism
 silent brigade engage in a whisper
 send shock waves breakin' - how you shakin' a fist? it's the
 black. patch. war chant bangin' on em
 a higher callin' the fire of sodom rainin' on em
 Canaan fallin' - flames rebuke the lot of ringleaders
 this james b. a duke, not a king
 he as savage as the pack he employed, capital gradually
 voided, now flatter me or see your tobacco destroyed, listen
 don't lose your self-respect, trying to gain revenge
 keep in line, see the sign, victory is thine
 he the vine, we're the branch where the fruits borne
 and some of y'all been on there too long, spoiled rotten
 the regiment developin' a loyal followin'
 contest and rest under kentucky soil - not a problem
 all i'm askin' for is a fair market at the auction
 i put my work on the block - gimme my portion
 a good return and if not, i'll put the cross on em
 target for the marlin - amoss endorsement
 this manifest impressed on parchment - y'all can read, right?
 figured the herod-type particularly erudite
 terms affirmed by the testament of old
 where the servants learn - test 'em with gold, yeah we got that
 armed for combat, over crop tax
 cease the fraud, you aint god, damnit - stop that
