13
Open your eyes get wise and look alive focus your attention
14
Windows 95 updated high tech lynchin
15
Crosses of the colored man who claims he holds the keys to the safe
16
Secrets of the world, blow him in his face
17
Who's the master of the universe, galaxy and planets
18
Babylonians ecstatic moon the sinkin of Atlantis
19
(Be the one soul original black filled with melanin
20
Goin out like represent Kuwait in two thousand)
21
[Ice-T]
22
Brothers gonna have to put themself in check
23
Three strikes you in the penzo, checked to your neck
24
Your woman cries, your baby grows up alone
25
Talkin through a three inch glass on a two way phone
26
You tell me brothers got no options today
27
You best to listen to the Ice closely fool, crime don't pay
28
Gas and dope bullets and coke ain't the way
29
You need to march with the Nation on Atonement Day, represent
30
[Chuck D]
31
Now, to all my brothers we be rhymin like this
32
Yeah I can handle, but they can't kill it mill or dismantle it
33
And we can leave the component alone
34
Show all my brothers a brother instead of negro
35
Crackers in the back obscene knahmean
36
But I've been knockin em out the box like ??
37
So on the single we be flowin at the lingo
38
Comin together, not solo like Mandingo
39
[Chorus: all together]
40
So where you at why'all?
41
Right here, hangin with my brothers and we showin no fear
42
So where you at why'all?
43
Right here, if you represent then throw your hands in the air
44
[Smooth B]
45
Arm Leg Leg Arm Head
46
My people with braids waves dreads and baldheads
47
A million strong doin duty, wisdom strength beauty
48
Ummah Ahs they are, sun moon star
49
And it's a holy day, come sober
50
Smooth be in D.C., sixteenth of October
51
In unity there is power, none can devour
52
Hour after hour, we shower
53
[RZA & Killah Priest]
54
Imagine us travellin back to Nazareth
55
Most fabulous
56
To raise up the black dead slaves like Lazarus
57
When I catch rays through the blaze holy essays
58
No more death days and vexed slaves possessed in caves
59
Yo it's the last days and times we gots to raise your mind
60
Brothers walk around dumb different and blind
61
Pregnant Earths always carry eggs
62
I pledge to never fall off the ledge
63
and blacks remain family like Sister Sledge
64
[Shorty]
65
God prepared the table for us, in the presence of our enemy
66
Now we soon to be, one in unity
67
One two three I'm a G
68
But the God inside is that G I chose to be
69
The world is a stage and everybody plays a part
70
I'm not considered, the one with a sensitive heart
71
When I say black man you say go
72
Black man GO black man GO
73
[Chorus]
74
[DA Smart]
75
Somebody stole me, you took me from Kunta to Toby
76
and mold me, in a way that you freed me but still hold me
77
What you tryin to pull? Eatin us like cannibals
78
Whatever happened to that forty acres and that animal
79
Now you tryin to use integration just to fool us
80
Like Malcolm said, we been hoodwinked and bamboozled
81
Mama cryin, and I ain't lyin
82
I'm going to Washington for justice, I'ma get it, or die tryin
83
Don't hesitate, he's at the gate
84
And that's a million black men in one place to set it straight
85
So black women applaud the black God
86
I'm DA Smart, with the million man march
87
[KAM]
88
Damn that's how you know the world about to end
89
Rain hail snow earthquakes and a million black men
90
Upon the God indivisible
91
With liberty and justice for all cause why'all done made us miserable
92
With this AmeriKKKan nightmare
93
That's why October 16th we gon be right there like yeah
94
The same niggaz that you want gone
95
Well we about a million deep on your front lawn
96
It's goin on from here to Abraham Lincoln's statue
97
And every brother here thinkin yeah we need to holla at you
98
About this overdue bidness
99
With the Black Muslim, Christian Jew and Jehovah Witness
100
To get this out in the open the only way
101
Is for us to declare a black holy day
102
The homies say that they rollin
103
Plus we got family, forty miles up, controllin
104
[Chorus: x 4]
