1
Everything is politics, Kweli, people army, you know it
2
(M-1)
3
The white man came to Africa with rifles and Bibles
4
Heard the name, started changin the titles
5
Now instead of Chaka call me Nat Turner with the burner
6
Freedom fighter for this revolution, fuck a wave journer
7
See I be what John Wilkes Booth was to Lincoln, blam!
8
Sirhan Sirhan, peepin through the curtains with my eyes on a Kennedy
9
Dead prez, politic, know your enemy, keep your toast close
10
Because political power come from the barrel of it
11
We in a war, nigga leave it or love it
12
Since they got us in a scope like a P.E. logo
13
I watch for the po-po (woop woop) and train at the dojo
14
Not a gun Deniro but a working class hero
15
Takin a stand, like a panther with an M-1 Guran
16
Screamin know your gun laws, self defense is a must
17
When we set it off I'm a be the first to bust
18
(Chorus - dead prez)
19
Yo, I'm one with my gun, I love it like my first son
20
It protects me and makes sure the jakes respect me
21
Yo, I'm one with my gun, I love it like my first son
22
It protects me and makes sure the jakes respect me
23
(Talib Kweli)
24
What do you do
25
When the police kick in your door like 'get on the floor'
26
Shoot you in the back
27
Cause who you are and where you at's against the law
28
You try to protect your home with the illest arsenal possible
29
Learn how to heal yourself and stop fuckin with them hospitals
30
Get with brothas down for the cause givin it all they got
31
But every brother ain't a brother (word), fuck around and get shot
32
By these black kings that pack gatlings
33
To make a rat sing like Nat King
34
Before they start blasting (blow!)
35
With no accuracy, handling they beef in the public
36
Now an innocent child got a bag for a stomach
37
Property value plumit every time a shot is fired (c'mon)
38
People feelin betrayed so they take the street to riot
39
Cops fire shots and try to stop the spirit takin over the entire block
40
Politicians say it's time to march
41
But people is past that, ready to blast at whatever comin
42
From the master or from the office, niggas is sick of runnin
43
Yeah, all my soldier, raise it up, see'mon, now
44
(Bust ya guns) yeah, Kweli with dead prez, see'mon
45
(Blow blow)
46
(stic.man)
47
I'm deep in the runs
48
Where all that niggas give a fuck about is stackin funds
49
The black and young type that's packin automatic guns
50
If any static comes sparatic shots'll ring out
51
You get caught up, you get your fuckin brains blown clean out
52
The killers reign supreme, survival of the illest brain and scheme
53
For cream you know the game in my vein
54
I feel the pain for all the niggas that passed away
55
Tryin to get cash the fastest way we know how, the old fashion way
56
Blastin, we actin like cock tecs and tenniments
57
My squad flex if any shit pop, and put an end to it
58
It's like hell, this planet I'm from consist of dilligent crack sale
59
Assisting off the backs of young black males
60
It's innocent, suspending in packed jails that benefit
61
White well being, while niggas catch hell just for being
62
You might as well have a life of crime, ain't nothin free in this life
63
I stick a nine in ya spine for mine
64
No time for talk, 'cause I walk when I talk
65
Stalkin sidewalks of course with the eyes of a hawk
66
Crack a quart to get away from this trife world and thought
67
Puffin Newports 'cause life's a bitch, and it's too short
68
My crew sport leather, gold, camoflauge, rugged denim
69
Deadly in venom, totin buckets with nothin in 'em
70
But Rawkus, some ill mothafuckas for real
71
Straight hustlas with nothin but a taste for kill
72
(Chorus) 4x
73
(Talib Kweli talking)
74
Yeah, see'mon, all my soldiers
75
Brooklyn where you at
76
Florida, Cincinnati where you at
77
Africa where you at, yo
