Yo they say knowledge is power
So America is ignorant cuz we were powerless when we tried saving the towers
All these governments official are cowards
Too terrified to realize this is our final hour
Crushing Bush’s spinal column to destroy and rebuild
Young boys try to avoid getting killed
Hold on, I’m still trying to make you think
This land is like Atlantis
It’s all good until this bitch begins to sink
We got more ice than we need to fill a rink
But shit can change in the time it takes to blink
Worshipping false gods, call em the pantheon
The world’s against us but still we carry on
Stare me down because your eyes are glued to the truth
You killed Pac and Big but they still live on through the youth
Battling brutal bastards basing biases on these backwards ambitions
You need to know the mission of the Death and Depression Coalition
Lost without a dream so we search for stolen visions
Stay on the straight and narrow but still we go to prison
The shot was dead on but it still came close to missing
Safety precautions, getting suicidal soldiers christened
Holding perdition as I remold your new edition
Trying to stop your bitching
We need a change, fuck this completion
Battling for the top when we should be joining forces
Some of us are homeless while others are driving Porsches
Kids in the hood, they grow up so remorseless
Same revolution, we’re just taking different courses
Little girls get knocked up so they rush to get abortions
I’m the flicker of hope in a city that’s lost its torches |
