Rage Against The Machine - Clear The Lane Lyrics






Hey yo!
Let me be front
This is real and not a stunt
I'm comin' to the forefront
Shovel for the rapper and clear the lane
'Cos this jam is like a tomahawk chop
Teach ya I'll never stop droppin' topics
Vocal power?
(a)yes I got it
On central but their trying to clamp it down
Flag was waving the wrong way so I shot it...down!
Get down, and at the same time...
Come up...down!
This is a crime that shut us up
I don't give a fuck
'Cos the words and the thoughts still hit
And like I said
It's not a skit
Jump another hit
Yeah
Ya know I don't need a drum kit
Make 'em say awwww shit!
The rebellion is true and legit

Down! Get down!...and clear the lane
Down! Get down!...and clear the lane
Down! Get down!...and clear the land
Down! Get down!...yeah!

The rebel
You'll never disable
Defiance
With the cards upon the table
Pulling cards
Keep the governments in check
Yo!
I think we need a new deck
Never could trust a phillabusta'
The mic is like a fist and it'll bust ya
With words cold hittin' with the underground
And now you're checkin' out the new sound
Live hit
A live pop
Live rock
And ya don't stop
It goes on and on and on
Who's a threat?
C'mon, the war is on!

Down! Get down!...and clear the lane
Down! Get down!...and clear the lane
Down! Get down!...and clear the lane
Down! Get down!...and clear the lane

[guitar solo]

Start droppin'
Our words are never safe
Fighting myself
'Till I'm where I gotta be
I challenge, don't sweat it
Now don't you forget it
Check me? What? Wait
You better slow down!
Realize I can't confine my rhyme to a beat
I need cash so when I'm cool I'm never ever weak
Places are fluid and diluted and complete
Check me once, calm down and take a seat
Strip the chains the freedom's there but then it's gone!

Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane

Defiance
Rippin' up the sound set
Every time I'm grippin' the mic it is a sound threat
Resist against the suckers that bring the bass in
Timmy C
Bring that bass in!

Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane
Ugh...clear the lane

  1. t.... ....

    i could dance to this beat

    Great track but it's pretty clear why it didn't make it onto the album. It's way too different. It's 100% a B-side type track.

    S.... S....

    Lyrically it’s a little too formulaic to flow with the rest of the album. Definitely sound like it needs more time to evolve into an album track.

  4. C.... T....

    Amazing Bass line

  5. L.... R....

    Nice bass line!

  6. B.... ....

    This song is so underrated

  7. M.... P....

    I would've placed this song on the album instead of settle for nothing

    M.... P....

    The problem is all the songs on the record are too good to replace with others but this and Darkness should have made it on as bonus tracks

    M.... P....

    @Drew Jackson
    Everyone be contemplating which song should be replaced when the best solution is right here lmao

    M.... P....

    It only had 10 tracks. They could have easily had 12 or 14 if they really wanted to.

    M.... P....

    87Khein those 10 tracks made the album almost an hour long. That’s pretty rare back then. Most albums tried to be under 45 mins. Those tracks while good don’t fit in with the rest of the album. You gotta remember back then they made albums where the songs flowed in order unlike today’s a la carte style.

  8. C.... B....

    939 views? awesome, seldom heard Rage track!

    C.... B....

    Chip Baumberger was my favourite when it first came out. it was on the Killing in the Name single.
