时长: 03:40
You have the emergence in human society[00:00:01]
Of this thing thats called the state[00:00:02]
What is the state the state is this organized bureaucracy[00:00:06]
It is the po-lice department it is the army the navy[00:00:11]
It is the prison system the courts and what have you[00:00:16]
This is the state -- it is a repressive organization[00:00:19]
But the state -- and gee well you know [00:00:23]
Youve got to have the police cause [00:00:26]
If there were no police look at what you'd be doing to yourselves [00:00:27]
You'd be killing each other if there were no police [00:00:30]
But the reality is [00:00:33]
The police become necessary in human society[00:00:34]
Only at that junction in human society[00:00:36]
Where it is split between those who have and those who ain't got[00:00:40]
I throw a molotov cocktail at the precinct you know how we think[00:00:43]
Organize the hood under I ching banners[00:00:48]
Red black and green instead of gang bandanas[00:00:50]
F b i spyin on us through the radio antennas[00:00:53]
And them hidden cameras in the streetlight watchin society[00:00:55]
With no respect for the peoples right to privacy[00:00:57]
Ill take a slug for the cause like huey p [00:00:58]
While all you fake niggaz *unnngh* try to copy master p[00:01:03]
I want to be free to live able to have what I need to live[00:01:05]
Bring the power back to the street where the people live[00:01:08]
We sick of workin for crumbs and fillin up the prisons[00:01:12]
Dyin over money and relyin on religion for help[00:01:15]
We do for self like ants in a colony[00:01:17]
Organize the wealth into a socialist economy[00:01:20]
A way of life based off the common need[00:01:22]
And all my comrades is ready we just spreadin the seed[00:01:25]
(chorus: dead prez)[00:01:28]
The average black male[00:01:28]
Live a third of his life in a jail cell[00:01:29]
Cause the world is controlled by the white male[00:01:31]
And the people don't never get justice[00:01:33]
And the women don't never get respected[00:01:37]
And the problems don't never get solved[00:01:39]
And the jobs don't never pay enough[00:01:42]
So the rent always be late; can you relate [00:01:45]
We livin in a police state[00:01:47]
No more bondage no more political monsters[00:01:50]
No more secret space launchers[00:01:51]
Government departments started it in the projects[00:01:53]
Material objects thousands up in the closets[00:01:57]
Couldve been invested in a future for my comrades[00:01:59]
Battle contacts primitive weapons out in combat[00:02:01]
Many never come back[00:02:02]
Pretty niggaz be runnin with gats[00:02:03]
Rather get shot in they back than fire back[00:02:05]
We tired of that - corporations hirin blacks[00:02:09]
Denyin the facts exploitin us all over the map[00:02:13]
Thats why I write the sh*t I write in my raps[00:02:15]
Its documented I meant it[00:02:17]
Every day of the week I live in it; breathin it[00:02:19]
Its more than just f**kin believin it[00:02:21]
I'm holdin them ones rollin up my sleeves an sh*t[00:02:23]
Its cee-lo for push-ups now many headed for one conclusion[00:02:29]
Niggaz ain't ready for revolution[00:02:32]
(chorus: dead prez)[00:02:33]
*police siren wails* [00:02:33]
I am a revolutionary[00:03:07]
And you're gonna have to keep on sayin that[00:03:08]
You're gonna have to say that I am a proletariat[00:03:10]
I am the people I'm not the pig[00:03:11]
Guiliani you are full of sh*t [00:03:13]
And anybody thats down with you [00:03:17]
You could man-make things better for us[00:03:20]
And you cuttin the welfare[00:03:21]
Knowin damn well when you cut the welfare [00:03:22]
A person gon do crime[00:03:25]
