Thinkin' every n***a is selling narcotics Why do I have a lot of arrests? Because of hara**ment. Why is there hara**ment? Because them people that hara** me, have set up a problem that made me, disagree with them violently and, and they, they set up these problem, in order to exploit me and other people like me They think they're living in a police state and they become hostile toward the policemen And why they wanna get rid of me? Because I'm saying something that might wake up other exploited people and some depressed people and if all these people ever get together, then these pigs that are exploiting us we'll be able to run them into the lake. That's why they wanna get rid of us I want when they see me, they know that every day when I'm breathing, it's-it's-it's for us to go farther, you know? Every time I speak, I want the truth to come out, you know what I'm sayin'? Every time I speak, I want to shiver, and even if I get in trouble you know what I'm sayin'? That, ain't that what we're supposed to do?
