R​.​A​.​G​.​E. (Radio Edit)

from R​.​A​.​G​.​E. (Revenge Against God's Enemies) - The EP by CONQUEST

/

about

"R.A.G.E. is the blistering East Coast street joint with a distinct classic rock/metal edge in terms of lyricism, production and vocals. It's a song that explores "ROMANS 12:19" where God speaks on 'vengeance against injustices being his and not man's". CONQUEST uses that scripture as a catalyst for writing verses that address everything from the COLUMBINE AND VIRGINIA TECH shooting as well as his own encounter of being almost sexually violated by a Brooklyn pastor. This song is as intense and innovative as it gets.

lyrics

D. Steele on the beat
Yours truly with techniques
Vengeance is his
Romans 12 nineteen
Yeah

This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, yo

I apologize in advance
For the graphic nature of this song now taking center stage called Rage
Columbine wasn't chance
It was that behavior of some kids who were fueled by rage and a 12 gauge
Angst that annihilated and hurt the innocent
Sought their revenge for the whole world to witness it
Citizens left for dead, same thing Virginia Tech
Might've been different if God was given their revenge
So I'll complain and whine as God's son
You rather me do that online than with a shotgun
Lose my beautiful mind with screws loose to it
Screaming 'four letter words' and adding 'you' to it
This ain't venting, this is Verbally Exorcising Negative Tension
And it's not done to get attention
This is ain't a VENT, it's vocal escapism
Free from the bondage that crucifies and rapes millions, yeah

This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up

Yeah, speaking of rape, I was almost made victim
By a pastor whose stature was made for weight lifting
But I refuse to give the enemy legroom
To send me another pastor showing me porn in his bedroom
He stood above my bed wearing nothing but a robe
I've often fantasized about the cutting of his throat
Slit his joint wide open, be like Wasn't I provoked
To kill this 'Man Of God' before he's coming with his stroke
Thank God for being there to give me something of a hope
Or else Christianity would be nothing but a joke
Take note, my 'revenge' is that Christ is real still
In spite of that circumstance, now I'm quoting Kill Bill
Revenge is a dish best served cold
To an enemy of God that'll wreck your soul
Dude, I'm 'Dave Grohl', you thought it was the end
When my loss was 'Nirvana' for a 'Foo Fighters' revenge

This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up

This is hard, but you should listen
If Kirk Franklin said 'hello' to 'fear', I'm 'Green Day' screaming Good Riddance
And I'm having the time of my life, dying to Christ
It broadens my horizons to write
Before my life meets a tragic ruin
And you're at my grave saying Yo, Jay was a sweetheart, what happened to him
And why he let those 'phantoms' screw him
Saying he wants to shoot himself, hmmm, there's a gun, I'll hand it to him
Cause the devil's relentless, you gotta hand it to him
He'll tempt you with every sin & then he'll stand accusing
You gotta understand
He'll take you out before you even think to stand, he doesn't give a
Dude, he'll use your ex's depression and have you next in succession
With regrets and obsessions
Have your new love crying 'cause you're raging for what
My revenge? Forgiving her & not hating her guts

This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
This is Revenge Against God's Enemies
Through my hip hop & rock tendencies
Know your enemy because he's a
Devil in disguise, straight up, uhhh
