[Intro:]
2
Talking: Redemption, to extricate, to be released from debt, to make good*
3
Redemption. Redemption. Redemption. Fuck you Schwarzenegger
4
Punk mutha fucka. Redemption
5
[Capital-X:]
6
I've waited decades for my turn, now without concern
7
I'm a spit this fire, sit back and watch the world burn
8
Man this is for every cop, that's ever called me a spic
9
As I was pistol whipped, and beat with night sticks
10
And this is for every public pretender, that conned me into taking a deal
11
Made me think I was hitting the streets, but wound up behind bricks and steel
12
And this is for every judge, that sent me up state
13
Where I grew bitter and cold, filled with anger and hate
14
Man I've been misunderstood, from the second I came out the pussy
15
No I ain't no killa, but don't fucken push me
16
I've been plotting this, since my days in solitary confinement
17
Where I prayed to God, to show me the light through the darkness
18
Well to your dismay, my prayers have been answered
19
And since that day, my words have been spreading like cancer
20
No you can't stop it, cause truth always prevails
21
Man every letter of this verse, is like a bomb being mailed
22
To everyone that's wrote me off, and said I was worthless
23
A born loser, that served no purpose
24
And to every C.O. that told me to lift up my nut-sack
25
Spread open my ass-crack, and said I'd be back
26
Man fuck that, I'm over turning every sentence
27
Coming with a vengeance, and claiming my redemption
28
[Break:]
29
[Talking, Redemption 4x's]
30
[Capital-X:]
31
Man I was born guilty, in the eyes of my oppressors
32
Kept under surveillance, and under constant pressure
33
Man they've been feeding me lies, ever since I was an adolescent
34
Well now watch me flip the script and teach these fucks a lesson
35
Sure I've lied to survive, but I've never lied to myself
36
I know I'm going to heaven, cause I already been through hell
37
Lock down in a cell, a corporate slave
38
But now I'm rising, like Christ from the grave
39
And I ain't talking on some Bad Boy shit, or Roca-Fella
40
I'm talking Filiberto Rios, and Nelson Mandela
41
Malcolm-X, Karl Marx and Medgar Evers
42
I'm wielding my machete, till the dragons 7 heads are severed
43
I ain't just talking about, we need a change,
44
Man I'm breaking the shackles, handcuffs and chains
45
They tried to break me, but they just made me stronger
46
They thought they silenced me, but they couldn't have been wronger
47
I'm bringing the noise like Public Enemy, speaking the truth like Technique
48
Seeking vengeance for my people like an Arawak Chief
49
Talk is cheap, so I'm backing my words with action
50
Draw first blood, and we'll see what happens
51
Don't forget the golden rule, what goes around comes around
52
And keep in mind, that you can't keep a real nigga down
53
[Break:]
54
[Talking, Redemption 4x's]
55
[Capital-X:]
56
Like Q-Unique, vengeance will be mine
57
That's why I be coming at ya's like the judge,
58
Just gave me an asshole full of time
59
I got homicide on my mind, revenge pumping through my veins
60
For every inmate locked in the hole, literally going insane
61
Man I feel their pains, tears falling like acid rain
62
I know most of ya'll don't give a fuck, except for capital gain
63
So I spit with a ferociousness, that will rattle your brains
64
Make you see today’s prisoners, are just like yesterdays slaves
65
Captured enchained, locked in a cage
66
Forced to work like third world children, that are under age
67
Housed in conditions, the ASPCA would find inhumane
68
Surrounded by TB, HIV and AIDS
69
365 days, could turn into a death sentence
70
But they keep on warehousing, inmates by the millions
71
I served13 years, and it made me worse not better
72
Cause their plan from day one, was to make me a repeat offender
73
But like Filiberto Ríos, I refused to surrender
74
Man they ain't never seen me, as anything more than a commodity
75
But now they're looking at me, like I'm their worst fuckin enemy
76
Armed with verses of truth, that reek of revolution
77
I got these fucks trying to raise, Willie Lynch from the grave
78
To try to regain control, of this runaway slave
79
[Break:]
80
[Talking, Redemption 8x's]
