Here we go
|
9-5 is the blood for your sweat
|
Pay the landlord, he's taking your blood for the rent
|
Yo
|
The balance dead so a bullet's what I get
|
When my Mao-Say-Tung gets offensive like Tet
|
The whip snapped my back
|
My spine cracked
|
For tobacco
|
I'm the Marlboro man
|
Can I make London bridges fall
|
If they do me like Mumia Abu-Jamal
|
Nobody move
|
Nobody move
|
86 Philly pigs drive a whole city block
|
And I'm campin' like Hampton
|
Read the word of the innocent
|
Yet death row is locked
|
Capitol-i-ism
|
check the wrong rhythm
|
And so they say let Saigons be Saigons
|
But wait a Ho-Chi-minute
|
|
Waste the day 'cause the night brings a hearse
|
Make a move and plead the fifth,
|
Ya can't plead the first
|
|
Are you ready to testify?
|
Get ready to testify
|
Are you ready to testify?
|
Get ready to testify
|
|
The revolutionary aesthetic
|
Black leather, beret and powder blue
|
However meanacing this human form on the outside looks
|
Without revolutionary action
|
It's ever so translucent
|
|
I stand admist grandeous gestures
|
Postures and platforms of romanticism
|
Creating more noise than answers
|
Creating more noise than the sirens
|
That keep our children crouched in corners
|
|
I sit and watch us do the blind man's dance
|
And I can't stand the smell of false composure
|
So i take a Ho-Chi minute to meditate
|
And think
|
And then tune to the word of Jose Matin
|
|
Doing is the best way of saying
|
Doing is the best way of saying
|
Doing is the best way of saying
|
Doing is the best way of saying
|
|
9-5 is the blood for your sweat
|
Pay the landlord, he's taking your blood for the rent Yo
|
The balance dead so a bullet's what I get
|
When my Mao-Say-Tung gets effective like tet
|
The whip snap my back
|
My spine crack
|
Front to back
|
Ohhh what a Marlboro man
|
Can I make London bridges fall
|
If they do me like Mumia Abu-Jamal
|
Nobody move
|
Nobody move
|
86 Philly pigs drive a whole city block
|
And I'm campin' like Hampton
|
Read the word of the innocent
|
Yet death row is locked
|
Capitol-i-ism
|
check the wrong rhythm
|
And so they say let Saigons be Saigons
|
But wait a Ho-Chi-minute
|
Waste the day 'cause the night brings a hearse
|
Make a move and plead the fifth,
|
Ya can't plead the first
|
|
Are you ready to testify?
|
Get ready to testify
|
Are you ready to testify?
|
Get ready to testify
|
c'mon
|
|
Doing is the best way of saying
|
Doing is the best way of saying
|
