Animal in Man Lyrics by ​dead prez

Let’s Get Free

2000

[Intro]
Help me!
You ask me to help you?!
Man is evil, capable of nothing but destruction!
[Intro 2: Narrator]
Once upon a time
There was a very serious situation growing
There was a farmer and a farmyard filled with animals
And this is the story of their times
[Verse 1: stic.man]
Old man Sammy had a farm
Walked the land with the rifle
Most of the time shit was calm
His whole life was maintained off the everyday labor
From the mules in the field to the cattle in the stable
This is how he kept food on his table (maxin'!)
You would have thought he was disabled by the way he be relaxing
Acting like Mr. Magnificent
But the animals was thinkin' somethin' different
The sentiment was tension in the barnyard
Throughout the years they had been through mad drama
With the farmer, word is bond, god
And they all came to one conclusion
They argued there was no way they'd ever be free
If it was up to humans
Therefore the only course left was revolution which was understandable
And since the pigs promised to lead it in the interest of all the animals
They planned a full attack
Under the leadership of Hannibal
The fattest pig in the pack
The next morning on the farm
Everything was calm
Just before dawn
But before long
The sun got so hot it made the farm seem electric
Now check it
This is when that shit got hectic
Directed by Hannibal, the animals attacked
Old Sam was in a state of shock
He fell up on his back
And dropped his rifle
Reachin' in vain
Each and every creature from the field at his throat
Screamin' "Kill, feel the pain!"
[Chorus: stic.man]
This is the animal in man
This is the animal in you
This is the animal in man
Coming true
This is the animal in man
This is the animal in you
This is the animal in man
Coming true
[Verse 2: stic.man]
After they ran the farmer off the farm
The pigs went 'round and called a meeting in the barn
Hannibal spoke for several hours
But when he talked about his plans for power
That's when the conversation turned sour
He issued an official ordinance to set
If you not a pig from this day forth then you subordinate
That's when the horses went buckwild
One of them shouted out
"You fraudulent pigs, we know your fucking style!"
Hannibal's face was flushed and pale
All the animals eyes full of disgust and betrayal
He fell the same way Sam fell
They took his tongue out of his mouth
And cut his body up for sale, for real
You better listen while you can
Its a very thin line between animal and man
When Hannibal crossed the line they all took a stand
What would you have done?
Shook his hand?
This is the animal in man
[Chorus: stic.man]
This is the animal in man
This is the animal in you
This is the animal in man
Coming true
This is the animal in man
This is the animal in you
This is the animal in man
Coming true
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus: stic.man]
This is the animal in man
This is the animal in you
This is the animal in man
Coming true
This is the animal in man
This is the animal in you
This is the animal in man
Coming true
[Outro: Narrator]
Remember...
