The Mean Arena It is not that the products the factories here is Midwest are not wanted, it’s that you can produce the same product for much cheaper overseas where unions can be broken by brutal government repression and people will work for less when the choice is either the factory or starvation (no social safety nets).

My battle status is burnin' mansions from Dallas to Malibu
Check my résumé, your residence is residue
Call her a skin job and my honey dip'll backflip for you
You playin', God your eye sockets, she gon' rip in two
We sick of bleedin' out a trace, spray a victim, you
Done dyin', Phillip AK Dickin' you
With clips in the bottom, we dippin' from Gotham
Yes eclipsed by the shadows, a dark dance to the coffin
I'm a fellow with melanin, suspect of a felony
Ripped like Rakim Allah, feds is checkin' my melody
Yes aggressively tested we'll bump stretchers and penalties
Dump cases with face and the cop pleas when we seizing a pump
With reason to dump on you global grand dragons
Still pilin' fast, plus Afghani toe taggin'
Now they trackin' me and we bustin' back, see
The only thing that close quicker than our caskets be the factories
[Hook]
De la Rocha the coach ya.
I wish I could like this song twice
Heard it ONE time and was HOOKED.
Fuckin' genius how the runnin voice sample is looped and used all through the beat. Fuckin' genius 👍
This song always had been relevant
I think this or Thursday in the danger room are my fav rtj song it's hard to choose between this and that one. This one reminded me of my good days listening to ratm, but the lyrics to Thursday in the danger room just hit me so hard...and so close.
Why am I now just listening to rtj for the first time? I’ve been missing out on a lot for years
HERE COME DAT BOI

This song is what made WD2 even more exciting for me when it was coming out.
one the best songs of the fucking decade for sure
Yeeeesss Zach de la Rocha ♡♡♡
Even if some die,
The lord will sort em'
Wish i could go back and experience how i felt waiting for the game and getting to play the trial again.
This sound is very real right now.
Some of these lines go hard and can be relevant now
Watch Dogs 2 and Far Cry New Dawn brought me here
I thought Watch Dogs 2 only was Blockbuster Night Pt. 1…. I don’t remember this one on there 🤔
"I got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, or make me frown."
Zach's verse on this track isn't fire. He's spitting fuckin' PLASMA!
RTJ is something else. Love them
