wake up
although ya try to iscredit
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
how ever ... he was a body remover
i'll give ya a dose
but it'll never come close
to the rage built up inside of me
fist 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 heads
department of police
the judge ... 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 fitnesse
whadda i have to do to wake you up
to shake you up
to break the structure up
'cause this blood still floods in the gutter
i'm like talkin' photos
mad boy kicks open the shutter
set the groove
then i stick and move like i was cassius
rep the stutter step
then bomb a left upon the facists
yea ... the several federal men
who pulled schemes on the dream
and put it to an end
ya better beware
of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
the networks at work
keepin' people calm
ya know they murdered x
and 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
