[Intro: Mumia Abu Jamal]
|
The new name in the twenty-first century of Imperialism
|
Is really globalization
|
And when you think about that
|
When you read about that
|
When you study about that
|
Globalization really means the Globalization of Capital
|
You don't hear people talking about the Globalization of Labor
|
But you know working people all around the world
|
Have more in common with each other
|
Than they have with their own so-called leaders or the rulers
|
The ruling class that is of the Society
|
So people should uh Globalize resistance
|
Globalize and that means...
|
|
[Verse 1: Stic.man]
|
Globalization..
|
Some kids get bombs for breakfast
|
And blowed away on their birthday
|
Ask the lil' orphan boy on Iraqi soil
|
What he think about the U.S.A.
|
Today was the worst day of his life
|
Uncle Sam killed both his parents
|
His village was burned to the ground
|
And they left him and his lil' brother to perish
|
Cus they want the oil in the soil
|
Like vampires they come for blood
|
In the name of freedom and justice
|
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
|
First they send the soldiers
|
Then come MacDonald's and Coca Cola
|
Toxic western culture
|
And once they take over its over...
|
|
[Hook]
|
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Halliburton, 7-up, Walmart, Exxon
|
|
Who cares if you get stepped on, Get stepped on
|
In the name of progress they business has no conscience
|
All they want is profits It's obvious in Africa
|
It's obvious in Mexico, It's obvious in Cuba
|
It's obvious in Palestine, American invasion
|
Foreign occupation, Covert operations
|
Oppressive domination, Resiiiiiiist...
|
|
[Verse 2: M1]
|
Yo, 2012 is approaching
|
No food on the shelves and the system is broken
|
It's out of order, we out of water, and out of time
|
Out of my mind, out of prime time with the propaganda
|
Make you wanna snap make ya pop the hammer
|
Call it what it is use proper grammar
|
Land grab call that gentrification
|
Micro-chip Identification
|
Thats just fear and intimidation
|
Nine O'clock news interpretation
|
(Break of a Nation[?]) that's
|
Got nothing to lose but our chains
|
Got nothing to use but our brains
|
Stop following the rules
|
And lets change the game, Resiiiiist...
|
|
[Hook]
|
Blackwater, Ford Trucks, APAC, Starbucks, IMF, Chevron
|
|
Who cares if you get stepped on, get stepped on
|
In the name of progress
|
They business has no conscious
|
All they want is profits it's obvious in Africa
|
It's obvious in Mexico, It's obvious in Cuba
|
It's obvious in Palestine, American invasion
|
Foreign occupation, Covert operations
|
Oppressive domination, Resiiiiiiist...

[Outro]
|
These are the times Baby
|
These are the times, scene of a crime
|
These are the times baby to free your mind, to free your mind
