Hey, yo, it's just another bombtrack,yeah 

(Verse:)
It goes — a one, two, three. 
It just another bombtrack and suckas be thinkin' that they can 
fade this
But Im'a drop it at a higher level 
'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down and hand out some beat downs 
Cold run na train on punk ho's that think they run the game
But i learned to burn that bridge and delete those who complete 
at a level that's obselete
Instead i warm my hands up on the flames of the flag
as i recall our downfall
and the buisnesses' that burned us all
See through the news and the views that twist reality
Enough, I call the bluff for a manifest destiny
Land—Lords and power whores on my people they took turns
dispute the suits i ignite
and then watch 'em burn
The thoughts from a militant mind
Hard—line, hard—line after hard—line
Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
dispute the suits i ignite
And them watch 'em burn

(Riff 1:)
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
yes your gonna
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn

(Verse:)
Goes—a 1,2,3
Another funky, radical bombtrack
started as a sketch in my note book
but now dope hooks make punks take another look
my thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear
that ya card will get pulled if ya interfere
with the thought of a militant mind
hard—line, hard—line after hard—line
landlords and power whores 
on my people they took turns
dispute the suits i ignite
and then watch 'em burn

(Riff 1:)
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
yes your gonna
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn
Burn, Burn, yes your gonna burn

How to Read Bass Tabs

Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:

1. The Basics

Strings and Frets:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
- The top line is the highest-pitched string (G on a 4-string bass).
- The bottom line is the lowest-pitched string (E on a 4-string bass).
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------------------|

A|---3---------------|

E|-------------------|

            
```
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.

2. Common Techniques

Hammer-On (h):
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------5h7---------|

            
```
Pull-Off (p):
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------7p5---------|

            
```
Slide (/ or \):
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
```
G|-------------------|

D|-------5/7---------|

            
```

3. Advanced Techniques

Bend (b): Push the string up or down to raise the pitch. Example: G|-------7b9---------|
Vibrato (~): Shake the string slightly after playing a note to create a vibrating sound. Example: G|-------7~----------|
Muted Notes (x): Rest your finger lightly on the string without pressing a fret and pluck for a percussive "click" sound.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.

5. Slap and Pop

Slap (s): Strike the string with the side of your thumb for a percussive sound.
Pop (p): Pull the string away from the fretboard and let it snap back.

Practice Makes Perfect

Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
