|
Can you feel it |
|
Tension in the air |
|
Racism |
|
Violence everywhere |
|
Davis, howard beach |
|
Bumpers and brawley |
|
It appalls me |
|
Now it's there |
|
Really racial justice |
|
It's time that we discussed this |
|
I'm disgusted |
|
I don't trust it |
|
What's this |
|
About |
|
New evidence brings doubt |
|
On who took king out |
|
Must have had clout |
|
Took the kennedy route |
|
Witness |
|
Stories contradict and |
|
Confliction make black men |
|
Say it had to end |
|
It won't happen again |
|
Pump your fist (3x) |
|
Can you hear me |
|
Hittin' home |
|
Knowledge |
|
Is the danger zone |
|
Liars and bigots |
|
And hypocrites start to panic |
|
They get frantic |
|
Power |
|
Generated by the truth |
|
Time to educate the youth |
|
The lust for money |
|
Is out of control |
|
Here's proof |
|
Drugs |
|
Always a tragic ending |
|
And at the risk of spending |
|
Time in jail |
|
Caught on a bum sale |
|
They persist |
|
Knowin' death's a risk |
|
Ignorance is bliss |
|
Chump their face |
|
Kill their race |
|
They deserved to get dissed |
|
Pump your fist (3x) |
|
We feel the wrath |
|
From what happened in the past |
|
Has made us walk a path |
|
Though bravery |
|
We lost |
|
Our unity our source |
|
Of power and we lost |
|
All race pride |
|
In our holocaust |
|
Now it's my creed |
|
I'm from a stronger breed |
|
My ancestors indeed had to bleed |
|
Whipped 'till they were freed |
|
And now |
|
I look back and say wow |
|
How did we allow |
|
Physical slavery |
|
I just don't ever again |
|
See it now i vow |
|
Pump your fist (3x) |
|
But are we free |
|
In actuality |
|
Let's talk reality |
|
Can't you see |
|
The slave mentality |
|
It's a sickness |
|
That eats you up like cancer |
|
And money's not the answer |
|
Won't advance ya |
|
Don't take a chance ya |
|
Lame |
|
Selling drugs for fame |
|
That's the weak man's game |
|
It's a shame |
|
You got the chains on your brain |
|
You're givin' |
|
Drugs to kids and livin' |
|
Half your life in prison |
|
God's for givin' |
|
But you got to work with him |
|
Pump your fist (3x) |
|
Distortion confusion |
|
Equality illusion |
|
Justice collusion |
|
No racism delusion |
|
History erased it |
|
Lives wasted |
|
Victory tasted |
|
Drugs face it |
|
Knowledge wisdom |
|
Educational system |
|
Blurred vision |
|
Lies dis 'em |
|
Voice loud |
|
Black proud |
|
Truth vowed |
|
No sellouts allowed |
|
Pump your fist (3x) |
