    Look what I’ve found. Come get down. It’s that revolution sound. Call it second emancipation, break these chains and let me out. It’s not violence I’m on about, but riot boots still hit the ground. Lower the gun put down the whip, take a step back hear me out. I am fanatic, employ guerilla tactics. Open up this lyrical automatic and put holes in your rhetoric. It’s archaic, kind of chaotic, almost barbaric, but yet you stand and you swear by it. And I’ve been readily, steadily waiting for a chance to resist. The devil is a liar, topple the empire, blood sweat tears and desire. I put my heart into this. Never forget I’m a soldier. I will not be conquered.
    I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, and it killing me. It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation. My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me.
    Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, equality and justice for all. Now you know you lying.
    You on that shotgun philosophy. Celebrate the tragedy. Build an effigy high to the heavens to remind me and blind me. Turn the whole world into my enemy. Control my destiny and drain all my energy. It’s insane to me. Got the whole nation sedated and medicated, a testimony to the violence, yet you still give me that ghetto education, basically priming me to feed me to the prison industry.
    I see all of the cowards, the greed, the need to hold control over me. Break these chains, end the power. I’d rather you give back what you stole from me.
    I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, and it killing me. It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation. My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me.
    Excuse me Mr. officer, come out of my sector, no need to stress, no need for vex.
    Yo, excuse me your honor, fuck the drama. No apologies, I save that for my mama. Take my name off of the docket. Drop all these charges. All it took was a spark, all it took was a catalyst. Martin said it best, I live a life with no violence, so I speak up, no longer silent. I begin to see. My third eye is opening. My resolve is strengthening. I yearn to be free.
    I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me. It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation. My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me.
    Excuse me Mr. officer no need for war. Trying to drain my energy, but you can’t keep me down.
    I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, but it won’t kill me.

    His voice is one of the most emotionally impacting voices I have ever heard. I also like the band as a whole but I do feel the majority of songs are carried by the vocals more than anything else, I predict these guys will eventually produce as song that explodes.

    EXCUSE ME LYRICS
    [Verse 1]
    Look what I’ve found, come get down
    It’s that revolution sound
    Call it second emancipation, break these chains and let me out
    It’s not violence I’m on about, but riot boots still hit the ground
    Lower the gun put down the whip
    Take a step back hear me out
    I am fanatic, employ guerilla tactics
    Open up this lyrical automatic and put holes in your rhetoric
    It’s archaic, kind of chaotic, almost barbaric
    But yet you stand and you swear by it
    And I’ve been readily, steadily waiting for a chance to resist
    The devil is a liar, topple the empire
    Blood sweat tears and desire
    I put my heart into this
    Never forget I’m a soldier
    I will not be conquered
    [Chorus]
    I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past
    My soul is under pressure, and it's killing me
    It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation
    My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me
    [Post-Chorus]
    Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, equality and justice for all
    Now you know you lying
    [Verse 2]
    You on that shotgun philosophy, celebrate the tragedy
    Build an effigy high to the heavens to remind me and blind me
    Turn the whole world into my enemy
    Control my destiny and drain all my energy
    It’s insane to me
    Got the whole nation sedated and medicated
    A testimony to the violence
    Yet you still give me that ghetto education
    Basically priming me to feed me to the prison industry
    I see all of the cowards, the greed, the need to hold control over me
    Break these chains, end the power
    I’d rather you give back what you stole from me
    [Chorus]
    I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past
    My soul is under pressure, and it's killing me
    It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation
    My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me
    [Bridge]
    Excuse me Mr. officer, come out of my sector
    No need to stress, no need for vex
    [Verse 3]
    Yo, excuse me your honor, fuck the drama
    No apologies, I save that for my mama
    Take my name off of the docket
    Drop all these charges
    All it took was a spark, all it took was a catalyst
    Martin said it best, I live a life with no violence
    So I speak up, no longer silent
    I begin to see
    My third eye is opening
    My resolve is strengthening
    I yearn to be free
    [Chorus]
    I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past
    My soul is under pressure, and it's killing me
    It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation
    My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me
    [Bridge]
    Excuse me Mr. officer no need for war
    Trying to drain my energy, but you can’t keep me down
    [Outro]
    I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past
    My soul is under pressure, but it won’t kill me
