[Prodigy]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, word up son, check it out though
YouknowI'msayin? Word up son
Listen up son, knowI'msayin?
(Let's drop it for em one time) Listen up son, check it out though, yo
Open your eyes get wise and look alive focus your attention
Windows 95 updated high tech lynchin
Crosses of the colored man who claims he holds the keys to the safe
Secrets of the world, blow him in his face
Who's the master of the universe, galaxy and planets
Babylonians ecstatic, moon is thinkin of Atlantis
[Havoc]
Be the one soul originals blacks filled with melanin
Goin out like representin Kuwait in 2000
[Merchant]
Never too complex to where it's fly
Over the heads of 85 I strive
To stay real and keep hip hop alive
Revive, thoughts collide, you better slide I advise
You keep your eyes on the prize, my rhetorics
Militant minded like a predicates, devils I shatter
This march was meant to spark a million diligent hearts
Now A alike, we B and C alike so play your part
[Lord Jamal]
Knowledge equality born of God
Come follow me as we swarm the yard
Like bees out in D.C. the TV'll televise the revolution
For sellin lies within the Constitution
Who lies to form a solution, October 16th
A million black minds comin intertwined on the fact find
Lord Jamal black Jesus and I stack rhymes
But the black on black crime better tact mine
[Insane]
Chorus:
So where you at y'all?
Right here, hangin with my brothers and we showin no fear
So where you at y'all?
Right here, if you represent then throw your hands in the air
[E. Rule]
Hear my synopsis, I drop this
Generates thoughts of born awareness of the here and now
Buildin upon with many spirit now
Society of flaws, unjust laws
Remain devoid of common cause
Equality rules you so love that equality
Many lords to trust this
Act of the devil, possess the sword of justice
Take the devil's head through levels
Imbed truth to spread to mental dead
[RZA (Killah Priest)]
Imagine us travellin back to Nazareth
(Most fabulous)
And raise up the black dead slaves like Lazarus
(When I catch rays through the blaze holy essays
No more death days and vexed slaves possessed in caves)
Yo it's the last days and times we gots to raise your mind
Brothers walk around dumb different and blind
Pregnant Earths Always Carry Eggs
I pledge to never fall off the ledge
And blacks remain family like Sister Sledge
[Sunz Of Man]
As we struggle in the jungle of sin my thoughts are militant
Destroy the ignorance billin the innocent
Teach your infants infinite knowledge
That wasn't taught in high schools and college
My representation is with the 30 million men destination
Washington D.C., war with the Masons
The only celebration is Satan's elimination
The past education at the president's revelations
The future's our creation elevatin original nations
Chorus
[Brooklyn Zoo]
One you grab October (16th)
BROOKLYN ZOO!! attack like cobras
Killer warrior soldiers in D.C., you face Jehovah all over
The dark side I ride tracks to provide
Elements of intelligence while you fake MCs hide
LEFT RIGHT as I command all my sons cause I'm grand
(Paulie Sands snatch lands) See if you slapped through the sands
Snakin those who choose to fake moves on Zoo you get bruised
(Bring your crews) Opposin the chosen son of God you get scarred hard
[Chuck D]
Now, to all my brothers we be rhymin like this
Yeah I can handle, but they can't kill a militant, dismantle it
If we can leave the component alone
Show all my brothers a brother instead of negro
Crackers in the back obscene knahmean
But I've been knockin em out the box like Joe Green
So on the single we be flowin at the lingo
Comin together, not solo like Mandingo
[DA Smart]
Somebody stole me, you took me from Kunta to Toby
And mold me in a way that you freed me but still hold me
What you tryin to pull? Eatin us like cannibals
Whatever happened to that forty acres and that animal
Now you tryin to use integration just to fool us
Like Malcolm said, we been hoodwinked and bamboozled
Mama cryin, and I ain't lyin
I'm going to Washington for justice, I'ma get it or die tryin
Don't hesitate, he's at the gate
And that's a million black men in one place to set it straight
So black women applaud the black God
I'm DA Smart, with the million man march
Chorus (3x)
