[Verse 1] I want it to pop, I want the revolution to start Watch n***as get exposed straight lose their heart God willing I be the one doing the k**ing Say nobody got no love for the hood and its children I'm the illest in the world f** it the universe Make your life hurt when I start puttin' in knife work I zoned with Curtis Mayfield vibed with Marvin Cause the black snake is the worst snake in the garden They used Judas made him turn his gun on Christ Shots riddled Malcolm X and destroyed his life Even Martin Luther King got hit with the flame And you wonder why the black man stuck in the game f** it I stay dirty Timbs and grey shirty Pop your hard hat put two in your derby My life too many questions and not enough answers Get 'em all back for what they did to the Panthers [Chorus: V-12] Lift every voice and sing true love that heaven brings Filled with the harmony of liberty They sing the rising sun a brand new day begun Let us march on'til victory is won [Verse 2] And this is for the pure souls who died at birth And the mothers in the struggle still feeling the hurt They say the meek'll inherit the earth And I wonder if God love us cause all my thugs is cursed Wish I could go back holla at Asada Shakur Having flashbacks like I did time in the war Hiroshima, Pearl Harbor, The Berlin Wall And I paint a clear picture to provide you all And I might not be the artist going platinum this year f** it long as my n***as bang it on the tier Cause any given time I can be right there Stressin' in the yard throwin' up dead weight Black babies on the C-O's arm playin' my gate It's real my mom shot dope in her vein Pops layin' in the clouds took a shot in the brain So I never sleep always gon' keep my banger And the media wonder why I write such anger Imagine life as a lost soul cold no guidance Outta control cater to crime life and violence And me no love Bush despise Bin Laden It's like I'm caught in the middle between to Fascist This world shallow I'm prepared for gun battle And I'm never gon' forget what they did to Diallo They stay crucified me for holding my gat Same way they did Luima and Geronimo Pratt [Chorus: V-12] Lift every voice and sing true love that heaven brings Filled with the harmony of liberty This is the rising sun a brand new day begun Let us march on 'til victory is won [Verse 3] All my life and my rights made laws to trap me Guiliani and Pataki want me in kak(i) sacky Bleeding in a cell, wanna see me in hell A chosen, frozen but still living to tell Victims to the system, government officials Bin Laden got missiles and I got issues Henny ease the pain but fogs the brain They in the Middle East waiting for Allah to rein While the victims in the World Trade burn in flames And even if God came we wouldn't embrace him Probably go to war with him blow guns and lace him Like the whole world wanna give they trust to Satan While they sitting in the White House layin' and waitin' With all the Armed Forces we still digging corpses Still can't give life back to them voices United we stand, divided we fall Provided we all take heed to the call If Christ was alive would he plead with the Lord? Have mercy on the young seeds laying in the morgue Refuse to be who*ed by these man made laws [Chorus: V-12] Lift every voice and sing true love that heaven brings Filled with the harmony of liberty This is the rising sun a brand new day begun Let us march on'til victory is won
