[verse 1: B-Real & Burton Bell]
From the Wasteland cold steel under my wasteband
Hazardous times enemy lines
Drawn in the middle of the streets
The concrete's stained with blood
I still got to eat

When I hit street I made the man understand
I fought with flesh and bled like a man
I rode that edge of darkness my friend
Stood up to the enemy so life could begin

[Pre-Chorus: Burton Bell]
You know you got to
Back the fuck up
You know you got to
Back the fuck up

[Chorus: B-Real & Burton Bell]
You know you got to
Back the fuck up
Back up off of me
You know you got to
Back the fuck up
Back up off of me
Back up off of me
Up off of me
Up off of me

[verse 1: B-Real & Burton Bell]
Traces of ignorance, offense of hatred
The face change in the same old places
Dark nights and lost souls collide to cross those
The line between a death and dream

I never wanted to lead your leash
To pull your ton of grief
I'll come back with a fist of lead
To educate your mind with a blow to your head

[Pre-Chorus: Burton Bell]
You know you got to
Back the fuck up
You know you got to
Back the fuck up

[Chorus: B-Real & Burton Bell]
You know you got to
Back the fuck up
Back up off of me
You know you got to
Back the fuck up
Back up off of me
Back up off of me
Up off of me
Up off of me

[Bridge: B-Real & Burton Bell]
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answer
You are exposed to all of the danger
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answer
You are exposed to all of the danger
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answer
You are exposed to all of the danger
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answer
You are exposed to all of the danger
You are exposed to all of the danger
You are exposed to all of the danger
You are exposed to all of the danger
Danger
Danger
Danger

[Chorus: B-Real & Burton Bell]
You know you got to
Back the fuck up
Back up off of me
You know you got to
Back the fuck up
Back up off of me
Back up off of me
Up off of me
Up off of me

[Outro: B-Real]
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answers
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answers
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answers
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answer
Don't let the time pass waitin' for the answer

Fear Factory is an American heavy metal band that was formed in 1989. During the band’s career, they have released nine full-length albums and have evolved through a succession of styles, including nu metal, death metal, groove metal, and thrash metal. Fear Factory was enormously influential on the heavy metal scene in the mid-to-late 1990s. Fear Factory went on hold in March 2002 following some internal disputes, but reformed later that year without founding member Dino Cazares, adding bassist Byron Stroud, and previous bassist Christian Olde Wolbers as guitarist.

In April 2009, a new lineup was announced. Cazares returned as lead and rhythm guitarist, and Gene Hoglan as drummer. Bell and Stroud reprised their respective roles, and the band completed a seventh studio album titled Mechanize. Former members Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera —both of whom were playing in Arkaea—disputed the legitimacy of the new lineup, and a legal battle from both parties was begun. Fear Factory released its eighth studio album, The Industrialist, in June 2012. Their latest album, Genexus, was released in August 2015.

Over the years, Fear Factory has seen changes in its members, with lead vocalist Burton C. Bell being the only consistent member since 1989. The band has performed at three Ozzfests and the inaugural Gigantour. Their singles have charted on the US Mainstream Rock Top 40 and albums on the Billboard Top 40, 100, and 200, and they have sold more than a million albums in the U.S. alone.
