Hail to the Chief Lyrics

Hold it

Hovering over
Looking over the shoulder
Suspense suspect
Who got next game
Hanging us by the necks
Hold onto your purses and wallets
By George, he's the new Wallace
Show no shame, no malice
Wondering who's this new Alice
Check check 1-2 1-2
Alabama Indiana
They be coming around asking
Who the fuck is you?
He be coming around that mountain
How the West was won
Mother fucker didn't ever run
Hero here he come

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

And he didn't even run
And he didn't even run
And he didn't even run
And he didn't even run

They lie when they say we matter
Lies of a whole new chapter
Smile when you meet your master
Lookin' in the eye of the rapture
They lie when they say we matter
Some rather believe in a liar
Pride in the heart of believers
While the city ignites like a fire
While ya life hangs in the balance
The innocent caught in the violence
Silence everybody that ain't like us
Devising words to divide us
Fear in the heart of the millions
One percent with their billions
Savage politicians got the whole world ripe for the pickin'

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

And he didn't even run
And he didn't even run
And he didn't even run
And he didn't even run

Six-Six-Six, Six-Six-Six! suspense
Sick sick sick sick sick sick suspense
Six-Six-Six, Six-Six-Six! suspense
Sick sick sick sick sick sick

Here he come
Here he come
Here he come
Here he come

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
(He'll be comin' around that mountain)

All hail to the chief
Who came in the name of a thief
To cease peace
And he didn't even run

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Prophets of Rage is an American rap rock supergroup. Formed in 2016, the group consists of three members of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave (bassist and backing vocalist Tim Commerford, guitarist Tom Morello, and drummer Brad Wilk), two members of Public Enemy (DJ Lord and rapper Chuck D), and rapper B-Real of Cypress Hill.

Morello declared to Rolling Stone: "We're an elite task force of revolutionary musicians determined to confront this mountain of election year bullshit, and confront it head-on with Marshall stacks blazing."

The band's name derives from the title of the Public Enemy song "Prophets of Rage" from its 1988 album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. To coincide with the band's protest performance at the Republican National Convention, it released its debut single, titled "Prophets of Rage". The band played its first live show on January 20, 2016.

From May 2016 through October 2016, the band embarked on a North American tour, dubbed the "Make America Rage Again Tour". The set list combined the catalogues of each of the band members' current and former groups, as well as new material written by the band. There is a "Make the World Rage Again" tour scheduled for 2017.

An EP The Party’s Over was released on August 19, 2016. Alongside the songs Prophets of Rage and The Party’s Over, the EP contains live cover versions of the songs "Killing in the Name" (Rage Against the Machine), "Shut 'Em Down" (Public Enemy) and "No Sleep 'til Cleveland", a rework of "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys. The EP was produced by Brendan O'Brien.

On June 1, 2017, the band released a single with accompanying music video for the track "Unfuck the World" from their album Prophets of Rage released September 15, 2017 on CD and vinyl. The band released the second single from the album titled "Living on the 110" on July 11, 2017. On July 22, 2017, the band released the third single, "Radical Eyes".

2) Rico Pabón has kept his soul intact through music as the lead member of Prophets of Rage (POR) and as MC for San Francisco Bay Area Afro-Latin Hip Hop band Agua Libre (formerly O-Maya). 1994 saw the first release from POR, No More Patience. In 1997, after the release of their sophomore offering, Brand New World, POR seemed poised for a national breakthrough. Their single, Memories, was in heavy rotation at urban radio stations around the country, including San Francisco's KMEL. Unfortunately, despite airplay and critical acclaim, national prominence eluded the group as their music was buried in the rubble of music industry restructuring.
