Killing us one by one in one way or another[00:00:10]
American will find a way to eliminate the problem one by one[00:00:13]
The problem is the troubles in the black youth of the ghettos[00:00:16]
And one by one we are being wiped off the face of this earth[00:00:21]
At an extremely alarming rate[00:00:25]
And even more alarming is the fact that we are not fighting back[00:00:27]
Brothers sistas niggas[00:00:32]
When I say niggas it is not the ni**a we are grown to fear[00:00:36]
It is not the ni**a we say as if it has no meaning[00:00:39]
But to me it means never ignorant getting goals accomplishes ni**a[00:00:45]
Niggas what are we going to do walk blind into a line or fight[00:00:51]
Fight and die if we must like niggas[00:00:54]
This is for the masses the lower classes[00:00:58]
The ones you left out jobs were givin' better livin'[00:01:02]
But we were kept out made to feel inferior but we're the superior[00:01:05]
Break the chains in out brains that made us fear yah[00:01:07]
Pledge a legiance to a flag that neglects us[00:01:10]
Honor a man that who refuses to respect us[00:01:12]
Emancipation proclamation please[00:01:13]
Ni**a just said that to save the nation[00:01:14]
These are lies that we all accepted[00:01:16]
Say no to drugs but the governments keep it[00:01:17]
Running through our community killing the unity[00:01:19]
The war on drugs is a war on you and me[00:01:21]
And yet they say this is the home of the free[00:01:23]
But if you ask me it's all about hypocracy[00:01:26]
The constitution yo it don't apply to me[00:01:28]
Lady Liberty still the b**ch lied to me[00:01:29]
Steady strong nobody's gonna like what I pumpin'[00:01:31]
But it's wrong to keeping someone from learning something[00:01:33]
So get up it's time to start nation building[00:01:35]
I'm fed up we gotta start teaching children[00:01:37]
That they can be all that they wanna to be[00:01:40]
There's much more to life than just poverty[00:01:43]
This is defiantly ahh words of wisdom[00:01:47]
America America America[00:01:55]
I charge you with the crime of rape murder and assault[00:02:03]
For suppressing and punishing my people[00:02:07]
I charge you with robbery for robbing me of my history[00:02:09]
I charge you with false imprisonment for keeping me[00:02:12]
Trapped in the projects and the jury finds you guilty on all accounts[00:02:15]
And you are to serve the consequences of your evil schemes[00:02:22]
Prosecutor do you have any more evidence [00:02:26]
Words of wisdom[00:02:30]
They shine upon the strength of an nation[00:02:31]
Conquer the enemy on with education[00:02:33]
Protect thy self reach with what you wanna do[00:02:35]
Know thy self teach what we been through[00:02:39]
On with the knowledge of the place then[00:02:41]
No one will ever oppress this race again[00:02:43]
No Malcolm X in my history text why is that [00:02:45]
'Cuss he tried to educate and liberate all blacks[00:02:48]
Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week [00:02:50]
He told blacks if they get smacked turn the other cheek[00:02:53]
I don't get it so many questions went through my mind[00:02:56]
I get sweated they act as if asking questions is a crime[00:02:59]
But forget it one day I'm gonna prove them wrong[00:03:01]
Now every brother had to smother on the welfare line[00:03:03]
The American dream though it seems it attainable[00:03:06]
They're pulling your sleeve don't believe 'cuz it will strangle yah[00:03:07]
Pulling the life of your brain I can't explain[00:03:11]
Beg as you can obtain from which you came[00:03:13]
Swear that your mother is living in equality[00:03:16]
Forgetting your brother that's living her apology[00:03:18]
Thought they had us beat when they took our kids[00:03:23]
But the battle ain't over till the black man sings words of wisdom[00:03:28]
But the battle ain't over till the black man sings words of wisdom[00:03:37]
Nightmare that's what I am America's nightmare[00:03:40]
I am what you made me the hate and evil that you gave me[00:03:42]
I shine of a reminder of what you have done to my people[00:03:45]
For four hundred plus years[00:03:48]
You should be scared you should be running[00:03:50]
You should be trying to silence me ha ha[00:03:54]
But you cannot escape fate well it is my turn to come[00:03:56]
Just as you rose you shall fall by my hands[00:04:05]
America you reap what you sow[00:04:09]
