Blue Scholars - Opening Salvo (instrumental) lyrics

Uhh, now, it's the opening salvo Where po's scope the people like Muhammad and Malvo A sample of the battle we waged against an animal Made to snuff us out like the wick of a candle And all the youth dressed in camo We're ready to handle And no this war was not scripted We can't change the channel We're canceling all subscriptions This is the last issue When the casket's closed you can't take the cash with you No postmortem residuals We're individuals who Indivisible become the most invincible But that is not the issue at hand We demand a simple right to question y'all People where the f** is freedom at? It's all we ask but instead we get our a**es Assa**inated fast if they catch you talking trash If the first shall be last It's time to prepare Black clouds, sky falling Put a hand in the air (Chorus) Yea my people building monuments to weather the flood I'ma leave how I came screaming covered in blood Died once, born twice, both times we knuckled up Alongside our people we're gonna struggle with love And my people building monuments to weather the flood I'ma leave how I came screaming covered in blood Died once, born twice, both times we knuckled up Alongside our people we're gonna struggle with love So struggle with love Struggle with love Struggle with love Now this here's for those who choose fights Whose fruits might never not ripen until after their life It's not right how they martyr our leaders And target our children Disrespect our sisters And wonder why we're militant Peace to my third world equivalent Even if I can't fight beside you I write what I can To get our fam in other lands to understand your pain 'Cause your beef is mine and we're one and the same And I know about this privilege But if you're from where I'm from Then you know a bigger burden comes with it And that's what I carry when you see me on a hustle I'm talking as a walking document of our struggle Kasamas hold me down and remember that I love you With Ajani hold your head up if they ever take me from you And please tell 'em that I tried Don't cry 'Cause no matter where you are, a struggle's nearby (Chorus) Right now I want to thank God for being me My soul won't rest until the colony is free 1896 revolution incomplete Silence is defeat, my solution is to speak Resurrect the legacy of martyrs I beseech Time to choose a side, it's the mighty vs. the meek My big brother Free brought the word from the East We're the bullet in the middle of the belly of the beast Hey
