lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls around the radius
I got you locked on noise to stimulate your stimulus
walk with us on a journey, an epic, ya dig?
so make some noise if you're ready for this!
we are the Boondock Squad of 415 Califaztlan
by the way of Pilipinas, ang aming bayan
inner-city Katipunero music for your ear
third-world melody to get your state of mind aware
guerillapinofied mentality leatherneck cuttas
minority of minorities the other of the others
jeepney riders mastered hip-hop and rock n roll
hold on tight we bout to get outta control

(3x- The Boondock’s ready to rock)
we know the world’s been waiting

They hate us cuz we’re brown skillful and we’re talented
intelligent and charming focused and we’re confident
that if we work it we can get all that you have
the underdogs have come to take it all back
secret government agencies tryna get us slain
music industry corporations tryna cover our game
blue-collar poverty's tryna keep us the same
still we're super fly ladies wanna know our names!
you know the jeepney never ever stops runnin
so hop up off if you don’t like where it’s goin
or share the energy is everybody feelin me?
you’re itchin to rock, well make some noise I got the remedy!

(3x- The Boondock’s ready to rock)
the world’s been waiting for a minute

The jeepney crosses all the borders scopin minutemen
with an engine that social justice is fuelin
ride with the marginalized working-class citizens
as our labor and our culture’s capitalized on yet again
we’re overcomin hierarchies and monarchies
over imperial colonies we want release
cultivate the cheese, the heart attack to the beast
no tactic will make my mouth freeze
give em a tic tac, quit the propaganda please
your words are stinkin up the air we breath
no terrorism just funkyfied rhythm for ya feet
the symphony of the streets

(3x- The Boondock’s ready to rock)
yes, the world can't wait

Bridge

(3x- The Boondock’s ready to rock)
now we’re here stop waiting.
