[El-Producto]
Do you know who you are..
Do you know who you are fucking with?
Do you know, the access, to weapons, money and power
that we have? We will fucking kill you!

I'm the ugliest version of passed down toxic capitalist
rapid emcee perversion -- I'm America!
Your bleeding-heart liberal drivel gets squashed
Wash em with sterilized rhyme patriot-guided weaponry bomb
from the makers of the devious hearts -- I'm America!
You *****y little dogs don't even phase my basic policy
The bomb's smarter, my Ronald Reagan's crush Carter
With Bay of Pig tactics makin young men into martyrs
(Come on down!) Come to my happy promised land
Smiley faced opportunity cypher
and jump on the CoFlow pension plan
A proletariat, crushing State of the Union
between serpentine words and mass confusion
of media controlled blurb advertising disillusionment
Your family will love my low-rent, low-life
no-brain, reality-dagger, MOVEMENT
Hop over the border for amusement; try to test the waters
that the other slaughter crews pay all they dues in
You up against -- Jesus Freak, formin corporations in Young Republicans
Indelible NATO force hidden agenda, puppet governments
I'm lovin it! Keep the people guessin who I'm runnin with
Control the population and hide behind sacred covenants
Fuckin with me?!?! Means liberal wildlife burnin, gasoline seized
and an automagnetic third world printed with metal plates in they knees
Can't you hear the disenchanted, hide the scream of
Gabriel's reflected new wind instrument, a judgment played in flat C
I replace humans like robots in a GM factory (warning! warning!)
Then export metaphors to sweat shops, cause the price is satisfactory
Your pious little cries of injustice get met with apathy
(Awww, SHUT UP!!) Soak, cloak, hormone injected dairy product
and conservative right-wing anti-eroticism; the poisonous
resevoirs and power lines in your neighborhood cause botchilism
SENSELESS! Join the census, censorship sentences sentence
Triple-felon citizen paid pennance!
Dissension against C-F ends in, penetentiary residence
Lock em up first, then ask questions
Omniscient presence, my CHARM is the weapon
with cameras mics and satellites that leave privacy breathless
You don't even know the chemicals you've ingested
Urine tested -- BEAT INNOCENT MAN 'TIL HE CONFESSES

"Who's America? Who's America? Who's America? Who's America?"
"Who's America? Who's America? Who's America? Who's America?"
[El-P] I'm America! I'm America! I'm America! Mr. Len, get busy on em!

{*DJ Mr. Len the Space Ghost cuts up "God damn!!"*}

[El-Producto]
I'm America arrogant!! Terminus verbal curfew murders
You either purchase my products or you're worthless, that's my service!
Don't look into the oculars of a daylight saver
Eraser, city-headed momument defacer comprising of
patriot droids, sent into the void with lead linings
Employed by the bureaucrats of automatic twisted rhyme timing
You're guaranteed nothing but my fat little finger
that lingers one inch off of the big button -- LET'S START THIS!
I'm Saran gas, hide in your apartments
I'm stealth like a robot hidden in the fat asshole of Cartman
And give a crippling fuck like sand sharkskin condom
to your apparent vaginal problem - the hottest shit on Soundbombing
I'm American til infinite justice measure to Pesticide Cemetary
Invite you to cross the border then SHIT on your divinities
What language is that? I'm angusih in fact, tangle with a
star-spangled standard issue gat for crowd management
Talk loud and get enshrouded in a hot cloud of harassment
by the crowd force of my mental pedestrian checker,
that smashes subordinate skulls and update the file in your dental records
You tryin to get a light but yet the crowd is my paid hecklers (BOO! BOO!)
You just stepped into the spectrum of paranoid word rainbows
Thinkin you sick with a sihlouette, burn transit cop out his plain clothes
I'm America!! This is where the pain grows like poppies
in a Field of Dreams I paid for, I'll burn it down if operated sloppily
COPY? My economic sanction rhyme style got your syllables
scraping for rice and riding in a pre-1960 jalopy
My favorite flavour of gas is mustard
I'm fuckin a blind hermaphrodite icon and convincin you that it's justice!

"Who's America? Who's America? Who's America? Who's America?"
{*DJ Mr. Len the Space Ghost cuts up "God damn!!"*}

[El-Producto]
Treason will not be tolerated!
You have been enlisted.. into a lifestyle that you may not change!
Understand! You can't be happy.. and smile.. for the cameras!
MotherFUCKER!

Do you know who you are fucking with?

That's a reallly good song, it has a nice mix of nosensical lyrics with the truth, which makes it flow nice as it he can go if in one direction about fucking a blind hermaphrodite then bring it back to proletariats crushing State of the Union.

Good choice.

Company Flow's album Funcrusher Plus is also pretty dope.

So many great lyrics:

My favorite flavour of gas is mustard

You up against -- Jesus Freak, formin corporations in Young Republicans
Indelible NATO force hidden agenda, puppet governments
I'm lovin it! Keep the people guessin who I'm runnin with
Control the population and hide behind sacred covenants

I'm America!! This is where the pain grows like poppies
in a Field of Dreams I paid for, I'll burn it down if operated sloppily
COPY? My economic sanction rhyme style got your syllables
scraping for rice and riding in a pre-1960 jalopy

I'd imagine he says "citizens" not "syllables".

Len does some of the most amazing Scratching ever, shown to great effect also on "End to End Burners" where he scratches a Run-DMC sample saying "Dance to the rhythm, the rhyme of Co-Flow". Did Run-DMC see those guys coming or what?

Funcrusher Plus is one of the greatest albums, particularily such songs as "Population Control", and "Indelible MCs".

Hampton, are you familiar with any stuff by Soul Position, I'd like to know the name of one of their songs where the MC starts to talk about computer programming and how it isn't about innovation or something or something else, it's about making money. They've a lot of great stuff too. El-P produced one of their albums at least.

Arre you sure that blind hermaphrodite isn't in reference to anything? I thought it might be a reference to Monica Lewinsky style shenanigans, but I can't really think of what the hell a "blind hermaphrodite icon" is supposed to be. The "convincing you that it's justice line is just great though".

Do you know if that song is on the Soul Position album 8,000,000 Stories or the Unlimited EP they put out? I haven't listened to that CD in a while, if its' not it might be anyone's guess. Or the song could be on one of RJD2's albums. Other than that it could be from random mixtape or compilation CD.

El-P does some good shit too. He did some stuff on Cannibal Ox's Cold Vein that I love.

I have no idea if the hermaphrodite line meant anything so you're guess is as good as mine. The only blind hermaphroditeI know is Tiresias from Greek mythology, maybe that who he's talking about?

I'm Saran gas, hide in your apartments
I'm stealth like a robot hidden in the fat asshole of Cartman

I love it.

Soul Position reminds me a lot of Atmosphere, although probally a little lighter than some of Atmo's stuff though.

It definitely on some record a guy I know has. I know that much.
But I think it could actually be on an RJD2 album, now that you remind me. I get confused by all these confusing collaborations.

I know that the cover is black and has an upside down picture of El-P looking very scruffy on the front.

Maybe it's "Fuckajob", I think I recognise that name, but I don't think I recognise the name of the album, "8,000,000 Stories". Who knows?
