Bum-Rush Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't stop the bum rush
A million strong and we all bust
We didn't fall prey to your bullshit lies
Propaganda of twisted minds
We figured out how it's all set up
The object, keep us all split up
Keep us fighting amongst ourselves
While you accumulate all the wealth
White on black, black on white
Muslim hatred, it's all hype
Spread the terror, fear of war
Billions spent on a fuckin' wall
It's all twisted, the game is bent
Still no clean water in Flint
But we ain't asleep no more, we're woke
Hear us comin'
See the smoke

[Chorus]
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush

[Verse 2]
Feel the power as we come
As we all move as one
If the street gangs could unite
Cops gonna get real polite
Politics (Politics)
Lies (Lies)
To conquer you must survive
But we ain't asleep no more, we're woke
Hear us comin'
See the smoke
[Chorus]
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush

[Post-Chorus]
Body count
Body count
Body count
Body count

[Verse 3]
I'm not your enemy, you're not mine
Those who don't listen are blind
All together unstoppable
Some may say impossible
I believe
See the crowd
Feel the power
Hear the sound
We ain't asleep no more, we're woke
Hear us comin'
See the smoke

[Chorus]
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush
You can't stop the bum rush
[Post-Chorus]
Body count
Body count
Body count
Body count

[Outro]
You can't stop the bum rush

What did Body Count say about "Bum-Rush"?
Genius Answer

“‘Bum-Rush’ has got a little Public Enemy going on, a little Prodigy vibe to it. In order to conquer they have to divide, but the sooner we figure out that we’re all on the same side—that we all have the same issues—we become a problem. So they got to keep throwing out all this extra bullshit: Get mad at this, get mad at that. And we as stupid human beings do it, instead of realizing that a focused attack cannot be stopped.”
