Although ya try to discredit Ya still never edit The needle, I'll thread it RADICALLY POETIC Standin' with the fury that they had in '66 And like E-Double, I'm mad Still knee-deep in the system's shit Hoover, he was a body remover I'll give ya a dose But it'll never come close To the RAGE built up inside of meFIST IN THE AIR In the LAND OF HYPOCRISY
Movements come and movements go Leaders speak, movements cease When their heads are flown 'Cause all these punks Got BULLETS IN THEIR HEADSDepartments of police The judges, the feds |

Networks at work Keepin' people calm You know they went after King When he spoke out on Vietnam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot Wit' poetry, my mind I flex Flip like Wilson Vocals never lackin' dat finesse Whadda I have to do to wake ya up To shake ya up, to break the structure up 'Cause this blood still flows in the gutter I'm like takin' photos Mad boy kicks open the shutter Get the groove Then I stick and move like I was Cassius Rep the stutter step Then bomb a left upon the fascists |
Yea, the several federal men Who pulled schemes on the dream And put it to an end Ya betta beware Of retribution with MIND WAR20/20 visions and Murals with metaphors The networks at work Keepin' people calm Ya know they murdered X Tried to blame it on Islam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot
What was the price on his head? WAKE UP |
