|
Can you feel it
|
Tension in the air
|
Racism
|
Violence everywhere
|
Davis, Howard Beach
|
Bumpers and Brawley
|
It appalls me
|
Now it's there
|
Really racial justice
|
It's time that we discussed this
|
I'm disgusted
|
I don't trust it
|
What's this
|
About
|
New evidence brings doubt
|
On who took King out
|
Must have had clout
|
Took the Kennedy route
|
Witness
|
Stories contradict and
|
Confliction make Black men
|
Say it had to end
|
It won't happen again
|
Pump your fist (3x)
|
Can you hear me
|
Hittin' home
|
Knowledge
|
Is the danger zone
|
Liars and bigots
|
And hypocrites start to panic
|
They get frantic
|
Power
|
Generated by the truth
|
Time to educate the youth
|
The lust for money
|
Is out of control
|
Here's proof
|
Drugs
|
Always a tragic ending
|
And at the risk of spending
|
Time in jail
|
Caught on a bum sale
|
They persist
|
Knowin' death's a risk
|
Ignorance is bliss
|
Chump their face
|
Kill their race
|
They deserved to get dissed
|
Pump your fist (3x)
|
We feel the wrath
|
From what happened in the past
|
Has made us walk a path
|
Made by slavery
|
Though bravery
|
We lost
|
Our unity our source
|
Of power and we lost
|
All race pride
|
In our Holocaust
|
Now it's my creed
|
I'm from a stronger breed
|
My ancestors indeed had to bleed
|
Whipped 'till they were freed
|
And now
|
I look back and say wow
|
How did we allow
|
Physical slavery
|
I just don't ever again
|
See it now I vow
|
Pump your fist (3x)
|
But are we free
|
In actuality
|
Let's talk reality
|
Can't you see
|
The slave mentality
|
It's a sickness
|
That eats you up like cancer
|
And money's not the answer
|
Won't advance ya
|
Don't take a chance ya
|
Lame
|
Selling drugs for fame
|
That's the weak man's game
|
It's a shame
|
You got the chains on your brain
|
You're givin'
|
Drugs to kids and livin'
|
Half your life in prison
|
God's for givin'
|
But you got to work with him
|
Pump your fist (3x)
|
Distortion confusion
|
Equality illusion
|
Justice collusion
|
No racism delusion
|
History erased it
|
Lives wasted
|
Victory tasted
|
Drugs face it
|
Knowledge wisdom
|
Educational system
|
Blurred vision
|
Lies dis 'em
|
Voice loud
|
Black proud
|
Truth vowed
|
No sellouts allowed
|
Pump your fist (3x)
|
