Come on

Ugh

Come on

Although ya try to discredit ya still never read it

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 s**t

Hoover he was a body remover

I'll give you 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

Departments of police

What

The judges

What

The feds

Networks at work keeping 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

Yeah

Yeah back in this

With poetry my mind I flex

"Flip" like Wilson vocals never lackin' that finesse

What do I got to what do I got to do to wake you up

To shake you up to break the structure up

'Cause blood still flows in the gutter

I'm like taking photos mad boy kicks open the shutter

Set the groove then stick and move like I was Cassius

Rep the "Stutter Step" then bomb a left upon the fascists

Yeah several federal men

Who pulled schemes on the dream and put it to an end

You better beware of retribution with mind war

20/20 visions and murals with metaphors

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

What was the price on his head

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard

I think I heard a shot

"Black Nationalism

He may be a brave contender for this position

But should he abandon his supposed 'obedience'

To the 'White liberal doctrine' of non-violence

And embrace Black Nationalism"

Through counter-intelligence it should be possible

To pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them

And neutralize them and neutralize them"

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

How long

Not long

'Cause what you reap is what you sow
