11
over the

18
Check it out, it's the motherfucking see-O-you
19
To the P now you're fucking with the real dudes
20
Who will meet you with a fleet of brothers in the street
21
Getting drunk off liberation fuck the Hennessey
22
Cause you calmly kept us down for far too long
23
Now you're going up in smoke like Cheech and Chong
24
And the song "I Ain't the Nigga" is the Constitution
25
Niggers die but Africans make revolution
26
So what happens when a people do not get their dues
27
Well it's tried there's a riot so flip on the news
28
And let's go reach the 98th here in Oaktown
29
But let's just say for story's sake that it's in your town
30
A hundred brothers taking factories, Warren's law is gutters
31
And now they're handing out free chicken and free peanut butter
32
Free food to the people, how it should be
33
But now let's go a few blocks over to 7-3
34
Channel 2 says at the mall twelve cops got shot
35
Cause there's eight hundred sisters taking over Eastmont
36
With nines and AK's doing the right think like Spike Lee
37
And now their babies got free Pampers and free Nikes
38
Up at the schoolhouse they said motherfuck a hall pass
39
Until you teach the truth, check it we ain't going to class
40
You're teaching lies, we got wise, now we realize
41
There's no end to this road, you disguised the prize
42
So peep game for real mental penetration
43
Our education's liberation
44
Things ain't gon' never be the same x2
45
At 6-9 there's a rally and it's swinging
46
Through the crowd with a thousand voices singing
47
Once upon a time in the projects, yo
48
Motherfuckers took over, and now we running the show
49
We don't give a damn about section eight though
50
For what we really need we're gonna have to take mo'
51
The same thing was heard in the A courts
52
In Kendall Village, across the bay in Fillmore
53
And in the hills where all the rich folks live
54
They're in shock we're not failing to vote and build
55
Instead of brothers on stage singing "Do me"
56
A black man has a gauge singing "Do this, see?"
57
All of a sudden everybody is out of jail
58
But it's funny cause no one is out on bail
59
And somebody shoved some police against the wall
60
I guess today they should've worn their clean drawers
61
Cause an ambulance came, that's the reality
62
There's now a new meaning to police brutality
63
All we need is satisfaction
64
We don't want just a fraction
65
And we've come to
66
A conclusion
67
Revolution is the solution
68
Check it
69
Now the uzi's that were once used to kill each other
70
Are now used to serve and protect the brothers
71
And the sisters cause they're packing .45's and nines
72
We're down for revolution not just down for their behinds
73
Cause the word is heard across the bay and in L.A.
74
In New York, NY, Chicago, and Atlanta, G-A
75
We gives a fuck if you've got money and the millions
76
Cause motherfucker we've got posse in the billions
77
So break yourself Bush, it's collection day
78
Break yourself Trump, it's collection day
79
Break yourself DuPont, it's collection day
80
You stole the shit from my great granddaddy anyway
81
The liquor stores around, but they're not selling beer or ale
82
Motherfuckers selling Molotov cocktails
83
To the crew, so light up a brew
84
And this is what is meant by a god damned coup
85
DJ O on the cut y'all
86
Ah yes, K-Mack's on the strings y'all
The Coup - "The Guillotine"
