Otep - Battle Ready Lyrics






KUAN!!

simple souls overload as I explode data banks
'cause the earth & space gave birth to this paleface

supreme -- linguistic -- mental machine
your brain cells swell - the intellects extreme

fire fills my veins as I proclaim my resistance
to the mind-swapping parasites that feed off my existence

as I -- skin the burn to relearn the royal plan
somewhere out beyond the edges in the depths of spirit land

it's authentic, apocalyptic destroyer
damaging challengers -- resurrection, disorder

a monument of crisis - I strike this - your dead
line my nest with your soul -- cleansed in bloodshed

[chorus:]
BATTLE READY!
poets gonna take control
BATTLE READY
souls violate parole
BATTLE READY
violently invade your home
-- breaking the bones
OF THOSE WHO OPPOSE

commanding the mic -- striking up a verb-fest
mass destruction is my function - time to put it to the test

in combat --- attacking since way back
in the days I drew praise for the way that I slain facts

formulating flows in revolutionary science
it's the catastrophic prophet from the anarchist alliance

freaking techniques -- this creature of speech
ewe feels the fury of devastation 'cause ewe ewe tasted defeat

I'm alone on my throne in this universe of fear
royalty divides my soul -- in this role I'm revered

as the pinnacle -- lyrical master -- queen of disaster
I ruin brain fluid -- the UNKNOWN IS WHAT I'M AFTER

[chorus]

shaking up the world -- just like the 2nd coming of Christ
-- when I write -- thrice divine with this goddess sight

words will flow -- wounds will grow
ewe knows -- bones will be exposed from the force that I unload

it's THE SOUL EATER!! -- mic bleeder with the voice of chaos
I got the nectar of the gods flowing from my mental pod

gather the flock -- alarm your block
tell them the shepherds have come & got the keys to unlock

a holy war -- through your veins it courses
more lyrical artillery than the armed forces

supernatural -- styles be volatile
it's the mind manipulator -- the WAR CHILD

[chorus]

[bridge]

COME!
SHADOW SOLDIERS!

we came to defy - living life as a lie
we embryonic satellites need our freedom to fly

TO WATCH DIE! -- agonizing cries are heard in stereo
I'm visualizing battlefield scenarios

in the line of fire -- watching empires fall
into attack position -- ELIMINATE ALL!!!

MY SPECIES!!!

[chorus]

[outro]
MY SPECIES!
NO SURRENDER!

  47. R.... S....

  48. B.... N....

    Over 10 years and still rocking this song

    B.... N....

    B.... N....

    I played this song to rock out! I wad telling the gf I haven't played this in 10 year! *turns up the volume

    B.... N....

    Hell yeah!🤘🤘🤘🤘

  49. M.... J....

    Hey dis band is quite good, I heard their first song in "True Blood" I'm gonna get their albums.

  50. t.... ....

    How did this become an argument about Kurt C? yea good musician etc. BUT Suicide is pure COWARDICE. Thus ruining everything "good" he ever did (pulling tha trigger proves it was all BS)

    Otep is awesome.

    Let the hate begin.

    t.... ....

    nobody cares

    t.... ....

    There is a lot of cause to believe that he did not in fact kill himself

  51. C.... B....

    BOMMMMMMMMM DIIIIMMMMMAiiiisssss

  52. L.... ....

    She sounds amazing live

  53. �.... �....

    +50000000000

  54. C.... O....

    FUCK ANTIFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. E.... B....

    is this slipknot. I wish would sit on my face

  56. D.... B....

    This is kool. I don't care who the phuk you is, phuk with me and I'll get you sucka, eventually

    D.... B....

    ok tough guy

  57. D.... B....

    What the fuck?!

  58. G.... J....

    I feel such the douche for having not kept up with Otep afer I saw them live.
    The only band at the show I felt I had to meet. Did so and it proved satisfying. But that was a looong time ago, and I didn't know anything of them until recently. Now --  ooh, it's so nice.

  59. T.... B....

    battle ready!!

    T.... B....

    Tamay Bakırhan I got arrested listening to this and jumping around like a lunatic a few years back in oc

  60. G.... K....

    stop complaining omg, otep is fucking amazing

    G.... K....

    U can say that again

  61. A.... T....

    otep is fuck in AWSOM!

  62. g.... ....

    has this been fixed? i hear scratchty samples i cant hear on the CD version

  63. D.... B....

    Justin h, that's as real as it gets....the saddest fact is they weren't as innovative as people would like or want to believe. there were plenty of other bands doing the same thing and a lot better. I would never mourn him....1 I didnt know him 2 he should've stepped up and helped himself

  64. D.... B....

    Kurt Cobain is only mourned by mindless monkeys and well really that's it. trying to compare Otep to Nirvana there is none. Otep is not a a new band. That's like calling Korn nu metal, understand I've been listening to them and half the others since the early 90s.

    D.... B....

    Except for the part where they cover Nirvana songs and OTEP herself cites Nirvana as her all time favorite band and primary influence.

    D.... B....

    Dan Beckett you're a dude who comments on YouTube videos. Kurt and his band ushered in one of the best scenes in music. I'll forever wish he was still alive.

    D.... B....

    Dan Beckett fruity

    D.... B....

    Pablo Jesus he sucks

    D.... B....

    kurt cobain is a legend, what did you add to this world?

  65. T.... H....

    Too much Rage against the control machine.

  66. N.... ....

    from the time otep wasn't full emo

    N.... ....

    They never were what?

    N.... ....

    Otep was never emo

  67. R.... ....

    Funny, It's the first time I'm listening to this and was startled to hear a chopper's propellers the same time I'm writing a scene in a book involving a combat helicopter. Coincidence?

  68. M.... B....

    god fucking damn,you are a goddess. id love just a hug or more,hell bring a friend. id be happy to meet you. but happier? never,til i get to be with you. heres to shattered dreams. something i can never have...

  69. M.... B....

    must not of seen my videos bro...

  70. M.... B....

    more women the better. im an all nighter also. ill take care of it. we can involve more women. got a 10 and a half hour record. i think shed like it. ill make it longer

  71. M.... B....

    give me one good day and night...wow

  72. M.... B....

    God id love be with you

    M.... B....

    bruh you realize she's a lesbian, right?

    M.... B....

    Hard hitting rapping rocking lesbian .......Talented ........Breaking ear bones !!!!!!!!!!!

  73. M.... B....

    OMG, that picture, now just lick your teeth. youd be perfect wow.

  74. M.... B....

    Goddamn you are a dream. stunningly gorgeous...

  75. S.... ....

    Reminds me of Slipknot meets Rage Against The Machine

    S.... ....

    JFLChanneL I was thinking more Rob and fob meets Elton John.

    S.... ....

    Slipknot actually used to rap in their first album.

    S.... ....

    With a splash of Pantera

    S.... ....

    Has the same opening guitar riff as before I forget by Slipknot.

    S.... ....

    It the reason why I love my z bad ass with a hot body and get her fare share of ass show that the best way to get the same thing it's always been my experience in me y it got to be with out the experience and education and research and I I'm just a bitch who called a dike I see so I called him a ambenulan it y she got the hot right in her tiny lit box it green with pocka dots it the apex predator all I could smile it no spell it is not the same

  76. k.... ....

    If you can follow this song first time reading the lyrics without your eyes going completely insane then you are a fuckin robot!!

  77. K.... M....

    Just seen Otep last night in Boise Idaho at the Knitting Factory(4/19/16) What an incredible show. She can growl with the best of them.

    K.... M....

    Lucky 2019

  78. G.... L....

    Awesomeness

  79. J.... K....

    fucking love this song,feel like I could do anything listening this on headphones fullblast

    J.... K....

    +Jason Kozlowski Definitely gives you powers! )

    J.... K....

    damn ,your headphones were full blast? think about your hearing. aaa hahahaaaa...

    J.... K....

    Yeah you ain't lying, my ears ring afterwards and I don't like loud shit any more.lol

    J.... K....

    J.... K....

    Headphones at 10 and it's not enough.

  80. A.... K....

    Got to c her live in Tucson, AZ and even got to get her autograph and picture with her!! She is fucking awesome!!!! I would go to c her again!!!

    A.... K....

    +Andreea Kaylor I got to see her 2 years ago in phoenix on her birthday she is so awesome!

    A.... K....

    +Andreea Kaylor She seems like she would put on a amazing show, and to see the transition between her rap/growl/soft ranges would be impressive to say the least! Are her vocals spot on or is it obvious that she uses a lot of auto tune?! When you met her, what type of personality did she have??! I've been curious about that for awhile now figuring it would be more laid back!

  81. S.... J....

    _OTEP_ - Battle Ready                                                #NU~METAL

  82. R.... ....

    wow, first time hearing this.... I thought it was going to turn into a cover of "Before I forget"!
    Did she always have that DJ too?

    R.... ....

    +salvatrucha47 And there's a DJ present???

    R.... ....

    R.... L....

    5:09 AM and my nipples are full potato

  91. T.... C....

    NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  92. D.... S....

    Well, for me, as a youngster, Nirvana meant that someone brought drugs, and nihil into metal... And suddenly all the world started to idolize him. And thats pissed me hell off.

    Ok, drugs were always around, but for me, as a teenager, all the rock, and metal heard before was about power, revenge, anger, just war against reppression-and-money, art macabre, and warrior pride...

    And suddenly all my friends turned into tucked out checkered shirt depressed junkies.. .. .

    No, for me Nirvana was a simple band, that produced some (just some) musically high degree songs, (which I gave him as credit, yes) but the mood, and the lifestyle that plagued on the trail of their music, is totally against anything I ever was, and I never mourn such a man.

    There -is- some people, who disliked all he interpreted as thoughts. Thats a fact.

    D.... S....

    And, despite that, I still have the right, to praise Otep's music. heh XD

    D.... S....

    Yea I definitely see where your coming from!! It's like the song Alice Cooper wrote Hey Stoopid, it's about the grunge seen and what it stood for!!

  93. w.... v....

    @kingrangnork I guess you dont know your music history because Kurt Cobain started the grunge scene which gave birth to hard rock which evolved into modern metal. so instead of calling him a "dead fucker" have some respect for those who died. dick.

    w.... v....

    @Ryan Changename That comment is hypocritical because the lead singer of Otep is in fact, a HOMOSEXUAL.

    w.... v....

    I've never heard of anyone getting aids from listening to music...but I'm done with this convo. Busy with real life. Call 1800phonefriend and argue with them. Good bye

    w.... v....

    @Ryan Changename then you might want to avoid this band bud considering the lead singer is a lesbian. grow up man homosexuals are no different than anyone else straight people can carry aids too if that's your only case

    w.... v....

    +wes vw No, it's that reason right there that makes Nirvana completely overrated. People glorify them for starting the grunge scene and making it what it was while in reality there are way better bands.

    w.... v....

    your statement is totally incorrect lmao and its not disrespect to say a dead fucker is dead

  94. F.... ....

    my life anthem

  95. D.... S....

    @kingragnork Dude, Kurt Cobain was one of the most influential people in the history of music, he committed suicide and is still mourned to this day.

    D.... S....

    fuck nirvana..they screwed everthing up......and he didn't influnce shit ...except how to use a shotgun

    D.... S....

    +monkeykid797 if there was ne one that infuenced people it would of been jimmy page and angus young not kurt. unless you just mean grunge then in that case your mostly right, although it wasn't just kurt, you also have AIC, STP, SG just to name a few that in my opinion are superior to kurt, Nirvana was great don't get me wrong, just compared to Alice in chains and Sound garden... not as good..

    D.... S....

    +monkeykid797  and may I know how Cobain had influenced you?

    D.... S....

    +Bobby Maness you really don't understand the music world fuck

    D.... S....

    Who TF is Kurt Cobain
