"They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan |
|
They were trying to touch on and feed envy within the leadership |
|
But as a general and a man that rose through the ranks through discipline |
|
His presence inspired those men with the discipline he imposed on his own life |
|
Louis Farrakhan" |

|
No revolutionary gets old or so I'm told |
|
Your left full of bullet holes when you tell the people go free |
|
Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me |
|
I heard gun shots rang; his bullet's got my name |
|
I ain't see 'em take aim, I dreamt this day came |
|
'Cause I stood in the face of damnation |
|
Satan spat at 'em, flat out disgraced 'em |
|
He want my blood, why me? |
|
Why not the fake who deserve death man? |
|
Fuck it, I'll take one |
|
'Cause stop me but can't stop a whole nation of millions who feel you deceived them |
|
They believe in reparation makes it even |
|
So I'm deadly now because of one reason, they listening |
|
In Budapest, Japan, China, and Switzerland |
|
We getting it in son, another bullet pass by, miss me |
|
Wondering who plotting to get me? |
|
Alphabet boys still plotting against me |
|
To hush me and stuff me in the pockets of history |
|
You won't remember why they came to clip me |
|
When time go by you'll soon forget me |
|
They say he was the king of bling, jewels, and Bentley's |
|
Then I use one of my lines just to prove I'm guilty |
|
Don't let' em kill me... |

|
Some revolutionaries do live long |
|
Am I one of them? Guess we'll know in due time |
|
Everybody has rights, can I use mine? |
|
Can I rock shine? Can I have a girl that's too fine? |
|
Got a swell life, tell me will I lose mine? |
|
Every time I turn around somebody new dying |
|
Let's start living, alecart, Escargo, Escobar invest my millions |
|
Mansion for the wife the rest for the children |
|
Knowing that they coming anytime |
|
But until then I'm gonna in lost till they shoot me |
|
Million dollar stones in my camouflaged Gucci |
|
Giving you this crack like Pookie |
|
To question the system, be the resistance |
|
No matter what color you are everybody niggas |
|
Or you can stand by or watch or you can march on with us |
|
|
|
|
|
[Chorus - Nas 2x] |
|
Some revolutionaries get old although I'm told |
|
You'll get a left full of bullet holes when you tell the people go free |
|
Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me |
