Jeremiah Jae – Cool Hand lyrics

[Intro]
Man: And you look over the men you'll be working with. They've broken up now into groups. A few are batting their gums in the corner
Man: Well, I guess I'll round up my heathen hat and we'll be on our way
(Sample)

[Verse 1: Jeremiah Jae]
Standing on the conquered land
Dust where the column stands
Where atoms turned rocks into sand
Where scrolls rewritten
And the gold goes missing
Locks on the Fort Knox
Get popped off quicker
Than bras in the Guinness
What an odd skill
From the palm kill
Blood spill on the high hill
For the paper
Roman gladiators
Told the bound fit
We control the haters
Burn the pages
So they never know the way
Cut it from the root
Then hide it in plain view
It's gems in the tomb
It's propaganda in the cartoons while war looms
Dr. Seuss for the youth
Keep 'em glued to the tube
Golden rule: give 'em two sides to choose
And who live and who dies
Is who sides with truth
The winners sip the fruit
Configure the institute
Give us high praise
When you see us, you salute

[Chorus]
(Sample)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)

[Verse 2: Chester Watson]
Yuh, I'm not the type to hold niggas back
I just distance myself
Keeping goals intact
Fools fall then relapse
Pour the Jack in the chalice
See my people so they know when to act and react
It's the difference
Moving like I brought a whole pound to the scrimmage
I ain't really trying to go clown for an image
Speak less than you listen
And me and Jae probably smoke an ounce over dinner on some old shit
Change perspectives
Switch the optics
'Cause all the people where I'm from hate cops
No races
Us against the uniforms
Know we on the pavement
Treat us like they really want us back on them slave ships
They destroyed the panthers but the kkk lives
Summed it and I barely had to say shit
Toiling from the serve, just spent a couple days here
Smoking Purple Haze on my way up to the spaceship

[Chorus]
(Sample)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)
(You salute)

[Outro]
Man: You fellas are a lot tougher than when we first started out
Man: Do the soldiers understand that?
Announcer: So that's how it is the first night. Not a terrific start by any means. But you don't lose any sleep over it. You've met sore heads before. The next day, it stops raining
