I sit aside from all them silly dotted lines they say we fit inside
Speak the truth, to stay in time, you're gettin' vilified
I'm a monster, using my dangerous power to wake up the population
Because, people, it's guerilla time
Over strings, fingers sing a sacred science
Saints and sages rise, let us shape designs
Sing along, if your tongue is strong enough
To perform blind in a storm (feelin' like you hang glidin')
We know pain better than our own bodies
It made us strong, plus a little wild, rough, and routed
Politicians? They won't give a damn about it
So, New York City, every jail cell's crowded, come on
They broke up out us, the wires of broken puppets
Our strings, disconnected, our minds ain't being touched
Our demons assassinated, yes I'm a broken puppet
Come with us you could really be free, be free
Ban the broken puppets, ban the broken puppets
Like a puppet on a string
I've been assessed, and then I-I-I can chase it
We're pullin' s-strings
Ban the broken puppets, ban the-, the broken puppets
Like a-, like a puppet on a string
Deal with the illusion that-that I ha-have to record up in the rap

Let's sit aside from all them silly dotted lines they say we fit inside
Because the truth has been revealed and clearly verified
Let's get that public education system occupied
And sing that Pink Floyd song 'til the end of time
Stressed at the borders, my vocal performance got 'em searchin'
Through all my lyrics like they tryna find weapons on 'em
Or manifestos that the vocals echo
Like they were shouted from the barrels of the .38 Special
Piss the labels, say we less than zero
Taught us to love our enemies and hate our heroes
No fear, turn a stage to a temple
Pull a ghetto from hats, shape a riot out of instrumentals
They broke up out us, the wires of broken puppets
Our strings disconnected, our minds ain't being touched
Our demons, assassinated, yes, I am a broken puppet
Come with us, you can really be free, be free
Ban the broken puppets, ban broken puppets
Like a puppet on a string
I've been assessed and then I-I-I could chase it
We're pullin' s-strings
Ban the broken puppets, ban the-, the broken puppets
Like a broken puppet on a string
Deal with the illusion that-that I ha-have to record up in the rap
We are broken puppets because we don't want to be controlled
Or manipulated and we wanna be liberated
As sovereign artists and be able to express ourselves
And not follow the trends or the corporate system (system, system)
Ban the broken puppets
Like a puppet on a string
I've been assessed, and then I-I-I could chase it
We're pullin' s-strings
We're broken puppets
We're broken puppets
We're broken puppets
Ban the-, ban the broken puppets
