[00:37.81]Come on
[00:40.45]🎵
[00:59.37]Come on, although you try to discredit
[01:02.40]You'll still never edit
[01:03.95]The needle, I'll thread it
[01:05.64]Radically poetic
[01:06.06]Standing with the fury that they had in '66
[01:10.07]And like E-Double, I'm mad
[01:11.57]Still knee-deep in the system's shit
[01:13.75]Hoover, he was a body remover
[01:16.17]I'll give you a dose
[01:17.37]But it will never come close
[01:18.78]To the rage built up inside of me
[01:21.53]Fist in the air, in the land of hypocricy
[01:24.83]Movements come and movements go
[01:27.08]Leaders speak, movements cease
[01:28.66]When their heads are flown
[01:30.42]'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
[01:33.17]Departments of police (what?) the judges (what?) the feds
[01:36.02]Networks at work, keeping people calm
[01:38.36]You know they went after King
[01:39.80]When he spoke out on Vietnam
[01:41.87]He turned the power to the have-nots
[01:44.53]And then came the shot
[01:48.01]🎵
[01:57.06]Yeah
[01:59.50]🎵
[02:04.56]Yeah, back in this
[02:07.19]🎵
[02:09.81]With poetry, my mind I flex
[02:12.09]Flip like Wilson, vocals never lacking that finesse
[02:15.53]Who I got to, who I got to do to wake you up?
[02:18.22]To shake you up, to break the structure up
[02:20.97]'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
[02:23.12]I'm like taking photos
[02:24.83]Mad boy kicks open the shutter
[02:26.74]Set the groove
[02:27.63]Then stick and move like I was Cassius
[02:29.59]Rep the stutter step and left a bomb upon the fascists
[02:32.39]Yeah, the several federal man
[02:34.79]Who pulled schemes on the dream
[02:36.46]And put it to an end
[02:37.86]You better beware
[02:39.03]Of retribution with mind war
[02:40.95]20-20 visions and murals with metaphors
[02:43.74]Networks at work keeping people calm
[02:46.02]You know they murdered X
[02:47.47]And tried to blame it on Islam
[02:49.28]He turned the power to the have-nots
[02:52.80]And then came the shot
[02:56.52]🎵
[03:34.54]What was the price on his head?
[03:40.00]What was the price on his head?
[03:45.77]I think I heard a shot
[03:48.30]🎵
[03:51.26]I think I heard a shot
[03:54.27]🎵
[03:57.07]I think I heard a shot
[04:00.24]🎵
[04:02.57]I think I heard a shot
[04:05.94]🎵
[04:14.53]I think I heard a shot
[04:17.56]🎵
[04:24.50]I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
[04:29.23]🎵
[04:38.23](He may be a real contender for this position)
[04:41.00](Should he abandon his opposed obediance to the white-liberal doctrine of non-violence)
[04:46.02](And embrace black nationalism)
[04:49.33](Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers and neutralize them)
[04:55.74](Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers and neutralize them)
[05:02.05](And neutralize them, and neutralize them)
[05:05.71]Wake up
[05:08.76]Wake up
[05:11.78]Wake up
[05:14.46]Wake up
[05:17.49]Wake up
[05:20.27]Wake up
[05:23.15]Wake up
[05:25.78]Wake up
[05:30.10]🎵
[05:52.44]How long? Not long, 'cause what you reap is what you sow
[05:58.05]🎵
