[boots]
Check it out, itand's the motherfucking c-o-u
To the p now youand're fucking with the real dudes
Who will meet you with a fleet of brothers in the street
Getting drunk off liberation fuck the hennessey
Cause you calmly kept us down for far too long
Now youand're going up in smoke like cheech and chong
And the song andquot;i ainand't the niggaandquot; is the constitution
Niggers die but africans make revolution
So what happens when a people do not get their dues
Well itand's tried thereand's a riot so flip on the news
And letand's go reach the 98th here in oaktown
But letand's just say for storyand's sake that itand's in your town
A hundred brothers taking factories, warrenand's law is gutters
And now theyand're handing out free chicken and free peanut butter
Free food to the people, how it should be
But now letand's go a few blocks over to 7-3
Channel 2 says at the mall twelve cops got shot
Cause thereand's eight hundred sisters taking over eastmont
With nines and akand's doing the right think like spike lee
And now their babies got free pampers and free nikes
Up at the schoolhouse they said motherfuck a hall pass
Until you teach the truth, check it we ainand't going to class
Youand're teaching lies, we got wise, now we realize
Thereand's no end to this road, you disguised the prize
So peep game for real mental penetration
Our educationand's liberation
Things ainand't gonand' never be the same x2
At 6-9 thereand's a rally and itand's swinging
Through the crowd with a thousand voices singing
Once upon a time in the projects, yo
Motherfuckers took over, and now we running the show
We donand't give a damn about section eight though
For what we really need weand're gonna have to take moand'
The same thing was heard in the a courts
In kendall village, across the bay in fillmore
And in the hills where all the rich folks live
Theyand're in shock weand're not failing to vote and build
Instead of brothers on stage singing andquot;do meandquot;
A black man has a gauge singing andquot;do this, see?andquot;
All of a sudden everybody is out of jail
But itand's funny cause no one is out on bail
And somebody shoved some police against the wall
I guess today they shouldand've worn their clean drawers
Cause an ambulance came, thatand's the reality
Thereand's now a new meaning to police brutality
All we need is satisfaction
We donand't want just a fraction
And weand've come to
A conclusion
Revolution is the solution
Check it
Now the uziand's that were once used to kill each other
Are now used to serve and protect the brothers
And the sisters cause theyand're packing .45and's and nines
Weand're down for revolution not just down for their behinds
Cause the word is heard across the bay and in l.a.
In new york, ny, chicago, and atlanta, g-a
We gives a fuck if youand've got money and the millions
Cause motherfucker weand've got posse in the billions
So break yourself bush, itand's collection day
Break yourself trump, itand's collection day
Break yourself dupont, itand's collection day
You stole the shit from my great granddaddy anyway
The liquor stores around, but theyand're not selling beer or ale
Motherfuckers selling molotov cocktails
To the crew, so light up a brew
And this is what is meant by a god damned coup
Dj o on the cut yand'all
Ah yes, k-mackand's on the strings yand'all
