Paris (Rapper) - Hard Truth Soldiers lyrics

[Verse 1: Chuck D] Bring that beat back, we set it off "we set it off" Got us back for combat, we get it raw "we get it raw" With a counterattack over tracks, we build minds of the blind Never calm when we bomb on neocons "let's go" Pump the level, the rebel to you Never lose or let a devil break up my crew Never nervous, serve them with the words with purpose It's the cointel k**er, Black Hard Truth silverback "damn" I still checkin' to see just who's set to come along When brothers revive that movement We bringin' the balance back, never nonviolent tact Guerrillla Funk and P.E. connect So know it when you're hearin' the rhymes that I'm givin' them Combined with the rhythm, designed to expose the sins All in it's the masterplan until the curse is reversed I'm sayin' Rebirth Of A Nation [Verse 2: M1, dead prez] They call me E-M-E, U-N-O, you know P.A., n***as is opposite of the Po-Po We stay together as the ants can conquer the elephant They say, f** what they say cause sh** is irrelevant Soldiers, where's your heart?
