| Killing us one by one
|
| In one way or another
|
| America will find a way to eliminate the problem, one by one
|
| The problem is the troublesome Black youth of the ghettos
|
| And, one by one, we are being wiped off the face of this Earth
|
| At an extremly alarming rate
|
| And even more alarming is the fact that we are not fighting back
|
| Brothers, sisters, niggas
|
| When I say «nigga» it is not the nigga we have grown to fear
|
| It is not the nigga we say as if it has no meaning
|
| But, to me
|
| It means «Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished», nigga
|
| Niggas, what are we going to do?
|
| Walk blind into a line or fight?
|
| Fight and die if we must
|
| Die, like niggas
|
| This is for the masses, the lower classes
|
| The ones you left out, jobs were giving, better living
|
| But we were kept out
|
| Made to feel inferior, but we’re superior
|
| Break the chains in our brains that made us fear ya
|
| Pledge allegiance to a flag that neglects us
|
| Honour a man that that refuses to respect us
|
| Emancipation Proclamation? |
| Please!
|
| Lincoln just said that to save the nation
|
| These are lies that we all accepted
|
| Say no to drugs but the governments' kept it
|
| Running through our community, killing the unity
|
| The war on drugs is a war on you and me
|
| And yet, they say this is the Home of The Free
|
| But if you ask me, it’s all about hypocrisy
|
| The constitution, yo, it don’t apply to me
|
| And Lady Liberty? |
| Stupid bitch lied to me
|
| This made me strong, and no one’s gonna like what I’m pumpin'
|
| But its wrong to keep someone from learning something
|
| So get up, its time to start nation building
|
| I’m fed up, we gotta start teaching children
|
| That they can be all that they wanna to be
|
| There’s much more to life than just poverty
|
| This is definitely uh… words of wisdom
|
| America! |
| America! |
| AmeriKa-Ka-Ka
|
| I charge you with the crime of rape, murder, and assault
|
| For suppressing and punishing my people
|
| I charge you with robbery for robbing me of my history
|
| I charge you with false imprisonment for keeping me
|
| Trapped in the projects
|
| And the jury finds you guilty on all accounts
|
| And you are to serve the consequences of your evil schemes
|
| Prosecutor, do you have any more evidence?
|
| Words of Wisdom
|
| Based upon the strength of a nation
|
| Conquer the enemy armed with education
|
| Protect yourself, reach for what you want to do
|
| Know thyself, teach by what we’ve been through
|
| Armed with the knowledge of the place we’ve been
|
| No one will ever oppress this race again
|
| No Malcolm X in my history text, why’s that?
|
| 'Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks
|
| Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week?
|
| He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek
|
| I don’t get it, so many questions went through my mind
|
| I get sweated, they act like asking questions is a crime
|
| But forget it, cause one day I’m gonna prove them wrong
|
| Not every brother had his mother on the welfare line
|
| The American Dream, though it seems like it’s attainable
|
| They’re pulling your sleeve, don’t believe
|
| 'Cause it will strangle ya
|
| Pulling the life of your brain, I can’t explain
|
| Beg as you can obtain from which you came
|
| You swear to your mother that you living in equality
|
| Forgetting your brother that’s living here in poverty
|
| Thought they had us beaten when they took out King
|
| But the battle ain’t over till the black man sings
|
| Words of Wisdom
|
| The battle ain’t over 'till the black man sings
|
| Words of Wisdom
|
| NIGHTMARE! |
| That’s what I am
|
| America’s Nightmare
|
| I am what you made me
|
| The hate and the evil that you gave me
|
| I shine as a reminder of what you’ve done to my people
|
| For four hundred plus years
|
| You should be scared
|
| You should be running
|
| You should be trying to silence me
|
| Ha, but you can not escape fate
|
| For it is my turn to come
|
| Just as you rose you will fall
|
| By my hands
|
| America, you reap what you sow
