My Shot
Julius
I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot,
Hey you,
I'm sick of the magicians who hunt me
It's time for the gods to come free,
And I am not throwing away my shot.
I'ma get the king's knowledge.
I probably shouldn't brag, but dag, I amaze
And astonish.
The problem is I need 2 voices in my head to
Keep my promise.
I gotta holler just to be heard,
Around magicians that are so dishonest.
I'm a diamond in the rough,
A shiny piece of coal,
Tryna reach my goal,
My power of speech - unimpeachable,
To succeed in this I have to bolder.
This lonely empty streets get colder,
I shoulder every burden, every disadvantage,
I have learned to manage,
I have a boomerang to brandish,
I release gods from being banished.
The plan is to fan this spark into a flame,
But, dam, it's almost time, so let me destroy a stone with your name,
I'm calling Wo-seer, i-ei, and I we are mentally to be.
21st will be a nome that runs independently,
But not yet, 'cause the House of Life keeps. shitting on me endlessly.
Essentially, they follow me relentlessly,
Then the magicians run around, turn their backs to me,
They ain't ever gonna set their patrons free,
So there will be a revolution in this century.
(Enter me)

Julius
Don't be shocked when your local police department mentions me.
I will lay down my life if it saves us three,
Eventually, you'll see my ascendancy.
And I am not throwing away my shot,
I am not throwing away my shot,
He told, I'm sick of the magicians who hunt me
It's time for the gods to come free,
And I'm not throwing away my shot (X2)
All: It's time to take a shot!
Set:
I dream to overthrow the monarchy,
If I pretend to be from France it'll lead to anarchy.
Anarchy? How should I say, how should I - oh, 'onarchy!
When I fight I make the other side panicky
With my -
All: Shot!
Zia:
Yo, I'm a magician's apprentice
And I'll have to get y'all knuckleheads in loco parentis
I want to kill you, 'cuz I know it's my last chance
To finish you before I spent a couple of months in a trance!
It's time to take a-
All: Shot!
Horus:
But we'll never be truly free,
Until the House of Life stops tryin' to capture. you an me,
You and I,
Do or die,
Wait till I Sally on a stallion with the first all eyes battalion.
Have another shot.
Random rational voice:
Geniuses, lower your wands, eh
You don't kill each other and you double your choices
I get it, but the situation is rough,
Of course you won't listento me, tho, and you'll get SHOT!
Set:
Ha, is that what we got?
Mister "Great Magician", by me now caught.
I thought you'd do better Julius, I expected a lot,
From the one who decided to go against the word of Thoth.
What are the odds they'll put us all five in one spot?
Poppin' a squad on your conventional kingdom,
Like it or not.
I'll find a bunch of revolutionary manumission-abolitionists,
Give me ammunition, I'll show 'me what the gods' position is!
Oh, am I talking too loud?
Sometimes I get over excited,
Shoot off at the mouth.
I've never killed you so fast before.
Is it wrong to say I'm proud?
Julius:
I'd love to see you get dragged by a crowd.
I am not throwing away my shot (X2)
Hey yo, I'm sick of magician who try to hunt me,
It's time for the gods to come free,
And I am not throwing away my shot.(X3)
Hey yo, I'm sick of magician who try to hunt me,
It's time for the gods to come free,
And I am not throwing away my shot.
Random voice:
Everybody scream,
Aah, aah, ahh,
Hey, aah, aah, aah,
Ay, don't let the police here ya!
Let's go!
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I said tune it down, are you dumb?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, said are you dumb?
Who, whoa, who - oh, come on!
Come on, let's go!
All:
Rise up!
When you're living on your knees, you rise up.
Tell the gods they gotta rise up,
Tell the magicians they gotta rise up,
When is the blood of the pharaohs gonna rise up?
When is the blood of the pharaohs gonna rise up?
Against chaos we gotta rise up!
Rise up!
Julius:
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory,
Is this where it gets me?
On my feet, the enemy ahead of me?
I see it coming, do I run or let it be?
There is no beat, no melody.
See, I never thought she won't make it long past twenty,
Nor that I will get half as many,
Ask anybody why we livin' fast and we laugh,
Of I don't succeed in my task,
They'll have to make this moment last -
Scratch that!
This is not a moment - it's a movement!
Where all the powerful gods with something to prove went?
Foes oppose us, we take an honest stand,
Set is as angry as Moses,
Wants to claim his promised land.
And? If Ma'at ends up in ascendance?
'Zat a guarantee for the saving of our descendants?
Or will the blood we've shed begin an endless cycle of vengeance and death with no defendants?
I know the action in the street is excitin',
But, Ra, between all the runnin' and fightin'
I've been readin' 'n writin'!
We need the gods to handle this situation.
Are we fighting THAT much?
Can't gods and magicians rise as one nation?
I'm past patiently waitin',
I'm passionately smashin' every expectation,
Every action 's an act of creation.
I'm laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow,
For the first time, I'm thinking past tomorrow!
And I am not throwing away my shot (X2)
Hey yo, I'm sick of magicians who try to hunt me,
It's time for the gods to come free,
And I am not throwing away my shot
All:
We're gonna rise up!
Time to take a shot!
Not throwing away my shot!
We're gonna rise up!
Time to take a shot!
Not throwing away my shot!
We're gonna
We're gonna
Time to take a shot! (Rise up) (X3)
Take a shot! Ra-ra-ra-
Shot!
Shot!
A-yo it's
Time to take a shot (Time to take a shot!)(X2)
And I am (And I am)
Not throwing away my -
Not throwing away my shot!
