No one knows if there's UFO's or any life on mars
25
Or what they do when they up in the stars

Because i don't believe a word of what the president said
27
He filling our head with lies got us hypnotised
28
When he be speaking in cold words about crime and poverty

Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery

Make me wonder what secrets went down with Bob Brown (?)
63
Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found?
64
It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidents

But it probably was the FBI, deep at the call
67
'cause if they make us all panic then they can start martial law

News snippet:
98
"uh, we view each other uh, with uh, a great love and a great understanding
99
and that we
100
try to expand this to the general, uh, black population and also people,
101
oppressed people all over the world, and, i think that uh, we differ from
102
uhmm... uh, some other groups simply because we understand the system better
103
than uh, most uh, groups understand the system, and uh, with this
104
realisation, uh, we attempt to form a strong political base based in the
105
community with the only strength that we have and that's the strength of uh,
106
a potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom."
