[01:30.75]Just constant attack, til my world looks like Monserrat
[01:33.49]Contact my comrades, for combat, what's concious rap
[01:36.11]When you say the truth, they attack like a Sabertooth
[01:38.77]Thinking clear they make you disappear like you hate the fruit
[01:41.36]We don't need more Boeings, we don't need more Rebors, weed or Lyor Cohens
[01:46.65]They tell us about terrorism and tell us about terrorists
[01:49.17]Look up the definition and tell us what terror is
[01:51.77]Only know the definition if the television tells us it

[02:40.67]On the news, they glorify their own henchmen
[02:43.54]Support the troops, but won't mention Joe Glenton
[02:45.95]It's funny 'cos the rappers are posing as the gangsters
[02:48.63]While the government taking money as bonuses for bankers
[02:51.44]In life you learn, to close your eyes and hold your tongue
[02:53.96]But together we will overcome, there's never been a chosen one
[02:56.68]Still tryina understand, the land I stand on
[02:58.90]I'll probably die from cancerous anger like Franz Fanon
[03:01.98]I will never give up, I will never just quit
[03:04.66]I will never give in, I will never submit
[03:07.22]The reason that I came, Is bleeding from the veins
[03:09.96]Of the people cus we equal, only Freedom is the aim
[03:12.62]This album has been in the making a quarter century
[03:15.34]Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody
[03:18.18]I knew the truth since I was a small little boy
[03:20.55]I am a product of the system I was born to destroy
[03:55.79]If you're subordinate to corporate guys supplying you orders
[03:58.39]You're fighting fire with fire, I'm fighting fire with water
[04:01.28]When they kill me, I know I'll die with a focused mind
[04:03.91]Plus there will be millions of me, ready to multiply
[04:06.56]Dont just mention, acknowledge me, remember to honour me
[04:09.23]My pen and this honesty, defending equality
[04:11.86]Declared a republic, and ended your monarchy
[04:14.49]Your corporate dictatorship, pretends it's democracy
[04:17.30]I hold your bloodline, accountable for every crime
[04:20.22]Adam Smith to Rothschild, It's all been a clever lie
[04:22.64]Two choices now, revolution or genocide
[04:25.41]But thanks to Rupert Murdoch neither one will be televised

[04:30.56]Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody
