Jamey Staub - Anger in the Nation lyrics

"You know, nowadays it.. seems like there's a lot of.. Bad things going on and.. I guess a lot of it.. From the way I see it.. seems to still stem from.. Lack of feelings on our parts, it's.. And how we relate or communicate with our.. Fellow brothers and sisters" "Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * "Let's get together.. and raise" "Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * "Let's get together.. and raise" [CL Smooth] South Africa, what does it mean? To burst the scene, or conquer like a philistine War or peace, which one do you prefer? Pa** me my M-16 for the disaster A reason for the treason in a jet black season.. .. for peace, justice, and freedom For the Original Man, architect of the Motherland Kings to Queens, is the Asiatic Black plan Pre-Adam-ite, first to see the light Way before Adam and Eve took flight Bless the seed of Abraham, I came to jam Protest the teachings of another man Uncle Tom stay loyal so they boil I'm the alchemist with the twist from the true soil My blood brother Adolpho on the side of me My vision ain't blurry, so don't even lie to me The rebirth the revival of our culture survival To elevate, the black man is vital You gotta realize now what we're facing The floors I'm pacing from the anger in the nation "Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * "Let's get together.. and raise" "Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * "Let's get together.. and raise" [CL Smooth] Here's the situation from a darker view Night and day, salt and pepper in the earthly stew But the salt think it taste better, straight up superior Therefore, the flavor of the pepper's inferior Incorrect though, giving some heartburn Level of a devil better wait your turn And here is one recollection of imperfection No one should be judged by complexion Lie-braries; broken down as lies buried To force their beliefs to pilgrims all hurried Television; tell-a-lie-vision A schism; negative realism Four-hundred-and-thirty-five years til weak Mental deaf dumb and blindness put us to sleep Out of the dark comes light so the first can't be So Armaggedeon comes like a thief in the night Rednecks flex to my context but in the projects Some won't survive the next Confrontation, and I'm aware of segregation Pump your black fist for the anger in the nation "Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * "Let's get together.. and raise" "Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * "Let's get together.. and raise" * various other scratches by Pete Rock for a few bars * [CL Smooth] Some walk slow, cause the water's not shallow Let my people go, you little Pharoah Listen how they word it, be observant Then house negro; today, civil servant I want to drop the bomb but remain calm Strong like the power of the Fruits of Islam Black is beautiful, hot like fire Guess how many times they thought they k**ed the Messiah Malcolm X, Dr. King, let's sing All around the world let freedom ring Reality is real, so how do you feel From being kings on a throne to picking cotton in a field? Your slavery is lack of identity One of the things that's not making you a friend of me What's your cause - aim, rationale? Cause I made up my mind, I never scrape or bow But teach my own, the sound of black unity Together we can rise and now's the opportunity The Tuskegee Experiment, indeed it was big When they used the black man as a guinea pig Animalism, pumped on a lower level But can only be the works of the devil And I'm telling you now the frustration The future's facing from the anger in the nation "Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * "Let's get together.. and raise" "Let's get together!" * cut n scratch 3X * "Let's get together.. and raise" * Pete Rock flips "Let's get together" to the end *
