[** feat. Mercedes Martinez:]
3
[Hook (2x): ~?uestlove~]
4
It's the love, in your heart*
5
Or the pain, in your mind
6
No one cares, what the truth is
7
Cause 'em fortunes, they don't lie
8
[Malik B.:]
9
Ok, uh-huh, ok, yo
10
I'm exhausted, but I never ever forfeit
11
Y'all just bullshit while I knock a nigga off quick
12
Y'all start speaking in tongues and start reaching for guns
13
A militant will put this heat in your lungs
14
The street and the slums, the weekend is done
15
The local class always show you what heat is become
16
The seasons are done, and reasons are none
17
People dyin' bullets flyin' cause they squeezin' for fun
18
It's all of a nightmare, that's right there
19
They hopin' that somebody in the hood just might care
20
With all this protestin' and rallyin', death toll tallyin'
21
Foul smells around them, pails in the alley an'
22
Corner filled with teddy bears, cause they killed a child again,
23
They sing about murder, so it ain't a song it's hollerin'
24
Get off the choir with your soft attire,
25
Niggas out here don't give a fuck, cause they Lost Desire
26
[Repeat Hook (2x):]

[Talib Kweli:]
28
Yeah
29
My city's full of, heartbreakers and stargazers
30
Who puff garsh Vegas
31
So they "Gone with the wind", like Clark Gable,
32
Breathin' like Darth Vader, believin' in dark angel
33
Yeah, we got flags, but they not star-spangled
34
We not patriotic, the heroes are not them,
35
Ghetto grills like rims, you stop, they still spin
36
Tall tales at the bar, witnessed after dark
37
And we still stop in and chicken and (?) Timbs
38
And listen to Rakim
39
With the way that y'all been
40
For realla, I hadn't been schemin' to ply in
41
You fear us? Fear is self, personified
42
Payin' homage to homicide
43
Prayin' to the dollar sign
44
It's idol/idle worship, the rebel forces
45
Bodies lie at the foundation of the fortress
46
This is war, we expect some losses
47
And we comin' for the heads of the bosses
48
[Repeat Hook (2x):]

[Black Thought:]
50
Yo
51
We on some casualties of war shit
52
What you stand for, kid?
53
We in the city where they definitely lost it
54
You open your eye-lids and get capped in the ribs
55
Your funeral they have your 12th grade portrait
56
Pretty corpse in casket, bell-shaped orchids
57
Said he 19 and left a self-made fortune
58
And left three orphans
59
Now he in a box with the same chain and watch
60
That never came off him
61
It's a shame what it cost him
62
Where he come from it ain't nothin'
63
It's a everyday thing, that's a problem
64
It's chambers revolvin'
65
Bustin' like Russian roulette
66
With a full set, they change what the odds is,
67
Flames in the mosque, and people held hostage
68
Everyday I struggle, try to get up out the mosh-pit
69
Homicide for profit, tell me how we not sick?
70
This shit is out of control, they can't stop it
71
[Repeat Hook (1x):]
72
It's the love... {*echoes*}
