作曲 : Alford, Gavin, Mair, Williams | |
You have the emergence in human society | |
Of this thing that's called the state | |
What is the state? the state is this organized bureaucracy | |
It is the po-lice department. it is the army, the navy | |
It is the prison system, the courts, and what have you | |
This is the state -- it is a repressive organization | |
But the state -- and gee, well, you know, | |
You've got to have the police, cause.. | |
If there were no police, look at what you'd be doing to yourselves! | |
You'd be killing each other if there were no police! | |
But the reality is.. | |
The police become necessary in human society | |
Only at that junction in human society | |
Where it is split between those who have and those who ain't got | |
[dead prez] | |
I throw a molotov cocktail at the precinct, you know how we think | |
Organize the hood under i ching banners | |
Red, black and green instead of gang bandanas | |
F.b.i. spyin on us through the radio antennas | |
And them hidden cameras in the streetlight watchin society | |
With no respect for the people's right to privacy | |
I'll take a slug for the cause like huey p. | |
While all you fake niggaz {*unnngh*} try to copy master p | |
I want to be free to live, able to have what i need to live | |
Bring the power back to the street, where the people live | |
We sick of workin for crumbs and fillin up the prisons | |
Dyin over money and relyin on religion for help | |
We do for self like ants in a colony | |
Organize the wealth into a socialist economy | |
A way of life based off the common need | |
And all my comrades is ready, we just spreadin the seed | |
(chorus: dead prez) | |
The average black male | |
Live a third of his life in a jail cell | |
Cause the world is controlled by the white male | |
And the people don't never get justice | |
And the women don't never get respected | |
And the problems don't never get solved | |
And the jobs don't never pay enough | |
So the rent always be late; can you relate? | |
We livin in a police state | |
[dead prez] | |
No more bondage, no more political monsters | |
No more secret space launchers | |
Government departments started it in the projects | |
Material objects, thousands up in the closets | |
Could've been invested in a future for my comrades | |
Battle contacts, primitive weapons out in combat | |
Many never come back | |
Pretty niggaz be runnin with gats | |
Rather get shot in they back than fire back | |
We tired of that - corporations hirin blacks | |
Denyin the facts, exploitin us all over the map | |
That's why i write the shit i write in my raps | |
It's documented, i meant it | |
Every day of the week, i live in it; breathin it | |
It's more than just fuckin believin it | |
I'm holdin them ones, rollin up my sleeves an' shit | |
It's cee-lo for push-ups now, many headed for one conclusion | |
Niggaz ain't ready for revolution | |
(chorus: dead prez) | |
{*police siren wails*} | |
[speaker unknown] | |
I am.. a revolutionary | |
And you're gonna have to keep on sayin that | |
You're gonna have to say that i am a proletariat | |
I am the people, i'm not the pig | |
[another speaker] | |
Guiliani you are full of shit! | |
And anybody that's down with you! | |
You could man-make things better for us | |
And you cuttin the welfare | |
Knowin damn well when you cut the welfare, | |
A person gon' do crime.. |
