Gil Scott-Heron - No Knock (Breakdown Alt Take) lyrics

You explained it to me I must admit But just for the record you were talkin' sh** Y'all rap about no knock bein' legislated For the people you've always hated In this hell hole you, we, call home No knock, the man will say To keep that man from beating his wife No knock, the man will say To keep people from themselves No knockin', head-rockin', inter-shockin' Shootin', cussin', k**in', cryin', lyin' And bein' white No knock No knocked on my brother Fred Hampton Bullet holes all over the place No knocked on my brother Michael Harris And jammed a shotgun against his skull For my protection? Who's gonna protect me from you? The likes of you? The nerve of you? Your tomato face deadpan Your dead hands ending another freedom fan No knockin', head rockin', inter-shockin' Shootin', cussin', k**in', cryin', lyin' And bein' white But if you're wise, no knocker You'll tell your no-knockin' lackeys Ha! No knock on my brother's head No knock on my sister's head No knock on my brother's head No knock on my sister's head And double lock your door Because soon someone may be no-knockin' Ha, ha! For you
