Anger In The Nation - Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

"You know  nowadays it.. seems like there's a lot of.. 
bad things going on and.. I guess a lot of it.. 
from the way I see it.. seems to still stem from.. 
lack of feelings on our parts  it's.. 
and how we relate or communicate with our.. 
fellow brothers and sisters" 

"Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * 
"Let's get together.. and raise" 

"Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * 
"Let's get together.. and raise"

South Africa, what does it mean? 
To burst the scene, or conquer like a philistene 
War or peace, which one do you prefer? 
Pass me my M-16 for the disaster 
A reason for the treason in a jet black season.. 
.. for peace, justice, and freedom 
for the Original Man, architect of the Motherland 
Kings to Queens, is the Asiatic Black plan 
Pre-Adam-ite, first to see the light 
Way before Adam and Eve took flight 
Bless the seed of Abraham, I came to jam 
Protest the teachings of another man 
Uncle Tom stay loyal so they boil 
I'm the alchemist with the twist from the true soil 
My blood brother Adolpho on the side of me 
My vision ain't blurry, so don't even lie to me 
The rebirth the revival of our culture survival 
to elevate, the black man is vital 
You gotta realize now what we're facing 
The floors I'm pacing from the anger in the nation 

"Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * 
"Let's get together.. and raise" 

"Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X *

Here's the situation from a darker view 
Night and day, salt and pepper in the earthly stew 
But the salt think it taste better, straight up superior 
Therefore, the flavor of the pepper's inferior 
Incorrect though, giving some heartburn 
Level of a devil better wait your turn 
And here is one recollection of imperfection 
No one should be judged by complexion 
Lie-braries; broken down as lies buried 
to force their beliefs to pilgrims all hurried 
Television; tell-a-lie-vision 
A schism; negative realism 
Four-hundred-and-thirty-five years til weak 
mental deaf dumb and blindness put us to sleep 
Out of the dark comes light so the first can't be 
So Armaggedeon comes like a thief in the night 
Rednecks flex to my context but in the projects 
some won't survive the next confrontation 
and I'm aware of segregation 
Pump your black fist for the anger in the nation
