Subordinate terror
Kickin' off an era

Time: 2:18
When I coordinate my titans
My subordinates shaking the room
Stomping on youths (youths)

Time: 3:22
One day soon my brother died, made me remember all the
Subordinate feelings I cast aside, and
Maybe I had lied when I said I was ok

Time: 1:34
Ethos of coercion
Subordinates implement, all warranted bidding
Requisitions honored, securing selfish esteem

Time: 1:20
I found you down by the waterfront
Victim of underhand, so subordinate
All of your time is the only thing you've got

Time: 2:54
Blow your balderdash
Coordinates confirm, subordinates will learn
My ordnance is stern so supportin' my fern

Time: 3:36
Fountainheads, automatons
To subordinate genetic interest is ultimately human!
Rampant self-awareness in your Invisible Hands

Time: 1:35
There's not a doubt in my mind and there's not a cloud in the sky
There's just contaminated rivers filled with waterlogged subordinates floating on by
Float on

Dole out mercenary pay
For restless young subordinates
It never hurts to give thanks to the local gods

Time: 1:23
I would be remiss
To be subordinate
Won't surrender anything

Time: 2:40
The status quo (subterfuge),
Warranty (subordinate),
Or bested I know.

Time: 1:31
And we've made ourselves the kings
Our queens are still subordinate as an angel (without wings)
But we make it easy to belong

Time: 2:52
Intentions of moulding
Subordinates to your roster
But take away the cingulate they become

Time: 11:00
That 'U' is for everybody who believes what the 'J' stood for
And also we have a subordinate 'U' for the rest of you who go, "Huh?"
And then there's an 'H' which stands for

Time: 1:39
Ya just subpar
Grading you a S for subordinate
Find a new path mark

Time: 0:29
Hit me up if you want more of it
I don't give a fuck cause you bitches are my subordinates
And if you want that product, I'll link you to my coordinates
