[Intro]
Aye, what you call that boy that ain't Hip-Hop, aye
Aye, what you call that boy that ain't Hip-Hop, say
Say, what you call that boy that ain't Hip-Hop
You gon' know Hip-Hop when that Demonstration drops like
I'm better than yo top 5, talkin' dead or alive
I'm better than yo top 5, talkin' dead or alive
My momma knew I was a king before I even arrived check it
[Verse 1]
I wish I could talk with Malcolm and walk with Huey
Ride for Lil Bobby tell 'em all we miss 'em truly
There's no more leaders to lead us
They still treating us grievous, deceive us
Gave us a false sense of freedom
And it was already planned before the patriot act
It's too late to react, and y'all still don't see it coming
No sense in running, confront 'em
Load 'em up and start dumping
I'm up to my neck I had it, I'm sick of the gum bumping
You want something then get it, don't take no for an answer
They put the chemicals in it that's why it's giving you cancer
Here in the land of the brave, the home of the misguided
My soul wants peace, my heart's ready to riot
My mind's in preparation, my mouth can't keep quiet
To remain silent is more detrimental than being violent
Call me a tyrant label me whatever you wanna
This is the Brief Demonstration the revolution's upon us
[Hook] x2
You gotta give 'em a demonstration
Yo, they wanting a demonstration (yo)
Yo, they needing a demonstration
Aye, so why don't you give 'em a demonstration
[Verse 2]
I got a heart full of gold, and a heavy head
Must be the weight of this crown
I knuckled down strategized, and dropped some j**els on the cloud
It's deeper than you know looking from the outside in
In wartimes be careful letting them outsiders in
You know it's bad when you can't even trust the government
If you ain't looking out for us, then who you here to defend?
It's quite evident that y'all don't want this terror to end
And I wouldn't dare to pretend, like I'm happy to be apart of this
Especially when innocent kids are being targeted
And citizen taxes funded the missiles they were bombing with
Obama getting opulent, my country's still in debt though
If he wasn't the president he'd probably be on d**h row
Yo, they put a needle up in Tookie
For doing the same thing, and y'all still over look it
And looking at me all crooked, like I ain't supposed to comment
Adopted the rhetoric, and incorporated Ebonics
Eradicated the sickness that was forming in my logic
A product or prodigy? An anomaly probably
I rebu*tal the policies now they properly obsolete
I've been fighting to stay awake
But still dying to get some sleep, sheesh
Will I ever find peace? Never in this lifetime
Pulling from the right side of my mind
To scribble these lines, hope they reach you in time
This is the Brief Demonstration, I'm giving sight to the blind
[Outro Hook]
I gotta give 'em a demonstration
Yo, they wanting a demonstration (yo)
Yo, they needing a demonstration
Aye, so I had to bring them the demonstration
You in tuned to the demonstration
Make some room for the demonstration
Meet your doom with the demonstration
Aye yo, this is the Brief Demonstration
