[00:37.84]Come on
[00:39.03]🎵
[00:59.32]Come on
[01:00.97]Although ya try to discredit, ya still never edit
[01:04.08]The needle, I'll thread it, radically poetic
[01:07.00]Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
[01:10.05]And like E-Double, "I'm Mad," still knee-deep in the system's shit
[01:13.80]Hoover, he was a body remover
[01:16.08]I'll give you a dose, but it can never come close
[01:18.76]To the rage built up inside of me
[01:21.87]Fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy
[01:24.87]Movements come and movements go
[01:27.23]Leaders speak, movements cease when their heads are flown
[01:30.70]'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
[01:32.93]Departments of police (what?), the judges (what?), the feds (the feds)
[01:36.10]Networks at work, keepin' people calm
[01:38.32]You know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam
[01:41.93]He turned the power to the have-nots
[01:45.04]And then came the shot
[01:46.79]🎵
[01:57.04]Yeah
[01:57.80]🎵
[02:04.41]Yeah, back in this
[02:09.76]With poetry, my mind I flex
[02:12.18]"Flip" like Wilson, vocals never lackin' that finesse
[02:15.66]What do I got to, what do I got to do to wake you up?
[02:18.39]To shake you up, to break the structure up?
[02:21.07]'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
[02:23.35]I'm like takin' photos, mad boy kicks open the shutter
[02:26.78]Set the groove, then stick and move like I was Cassius
[02:29.74]Rep the "Stutter Step" then bomb a left upon the fascists
[02:32.32]Yeah, the several federal men
[02:34.82]Who pulled schemes on the dream and put it to an end
[02:38.08]You better beware the retribution with mind war
[02:40.87]20-20 visions and murals with metaphors
[02:43.84]Networks at work, keepin' people calm
[02:46.16]Ya know they murdered X and tried to blame it on Islam
[02:49.45]We turned the power to the have-nots
[02:52.74]But then came the shot
[02:54.47]🎵
[03:34.50]What was the price on his head?
[03:40.16]What was the price on his head?
[03:45.81]I think I heard a shot
[03:51.18]I think I heard a shot
[03:56.83]I think I heard a shot
[04:02.59]I think I heard a shot
[04:04.24]🎵
[04:14.81]I think I heard a shot
[04:16.27]🎵
[04:24.34]I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
[04:27.61]🎵
[04:36.52]Black Nationalism
[04:38.61]He may be a brave contender for this position
[04:41.06]But should he abandon his supposed obedience
[04:43.46]To the White liberal doctrine of non-violence
[04:46.05]And embrace Black Nationalism
[04:49.51]Through counter-intelligence, it should be possible
[04:51.37]To pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them
[04:55.92]Through counter-intelligence, it should be possible
[04:57.99]To pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them
[05:02.13]And neutralize them, and neutralize them, and neutralize them
[05:06.12]Wake up!
[05:08.88]Wake up!
[05:11.90]Wake up!
[05:14.60]Wake up!
[05:17.51]Wake up!
[05:20.32]Wake up!
[05:23.02]Wake up!
[05:25.90]Wake up!
[05:30.56]🎵
[05:52.79]How long? Not long
[05:55.46]'Cause what you reap is what you sow
[05:58.56]🎵
